The Drop is Always Moving

A new alpha experimental "Admin" theme just landed in Drupal 12 dev (and 11 dev) which is a merge of the Claro and Gin themes. Going forward the plan is for "Admin" to replace Claro. Until "Admin" becomes stable, Claro will remain the default admin experience. www.drupal.org/project/drup...

Drupal 12: Navigation replaces toolbar in standard install

Migrate Drupal & Migrate Drupal UI will not be in Drupal 12! These were dedicated to migrating Drupal 6 and 7 sites. Drupal 7 was EOL on January 5, 2025 while Drupal 6 was EOL in 2016. The modules will still be in Drupal 11 until its EOL in 2028. See www.drupal.org/node/3466088 for more such issues.
