Brief description:

Have you been wanting to use Workspaces, Single Directory
Components, Recipes, or the new admin menu in your Drupal
site? The new Drupal 10.3 release is better for using all of
these and more.



Module name/project name:

Drupal 10.3



Brief history

How old: It was tagged on Jun 20 by catch of Tag1 and
Third & Grove



Features and usage

In this new minor version, Workspaces is now declared
stable, and Single Directory Components are now fully
integrated into core, instead of being in an experimental
module.

Drupal 10.3 also includes the new Access Policy API that
was funded as part of the Pitchburgh process kicked off at
DrupalCon Pittsburgh

The “super user” access policy that automatically grants
user 1 every permission can now be turned off in services.yml

Also, Recipes and the new Navigation menu are available
as experimental features

The Actions UI, Book, and Statistics modules are
deprecated, and contrib projects are available

Install profiles can now be uninstalled, and new sites
can be installed without any profile at all

10.3 also includes a revision UI for taxonomy terms, and
they can also be used with content moderation

All core-provided image styles now include WebP
conversion

The state service now uses a cache collector for
performance, which requires opt in within settings.php for
existing sites

There are other performance improvements, including: POST
requests are now render cacheable, duplicate queries during
logins are avoided, and big pipe requests now avoid reading
session from the database multiple times

With 10.3 developer can also make use of a new AJAX
command to open a URL in a dialog, and a new
DraggableListBuilderTrait, among a host of other changes

Of course, there are some additional deprecations, so the
Project Update Bot has already been busy creating new MRs
