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...

Long time in the making, the Navigation module just replaced Toolbar as the default navigation experience in the upcoming Drupal version. Not only more customisable, the new UI is also faster to use even with deep administration trees. www.drupal.org/project/drup...

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.
