Drupal 7 extended support announcement

[Kun Lin]

I am sure you all heard that Drupal 7 is getting 1 more year of extended support https://www.drupal.org/psa-2020-06-24.  Drupal developer decided to support version 7 for one more year. At the same time, I realized Drupal 8 is end of support in 2021. I know Islandora 8 is based on Drupal 8 and now this version will be EOL before Drupal 7. Has anyone experiment with running Islandora 8 with Drupal 9?

 

Thanks

Kun

As of current Islandora isn't compatible with Drupal 9. Drupal 9 is a feature-less release which is handling removing a slew of things marked as deprecated in Drupal 8. Islandora (and its submodules) would need to be audited / updated to stop using the deprecated functions. I've had a peak at what would entail and it's not a large amount of work. However, all of the contributed modules Islandora relies upon must also be D9 compatible for Islandora to truly "support" Drupal 9.
