Drupal 8 release day: docs polished & ready!

published on November 19, 2015

Later today, Drupal 8 will be released! At this time, good docs are of course crucial.

As the maintainer and de facto co-maintainer of several Drupal 8 core modules and subsystems, I spent the last several days making sure that the documentation is up-to-date for:

  • the Text Editor module (editor)
  • the CKEditor module (ckeditor)
  • the Quick Edit module (quickedit)
  • the Filter module (filter)
  • the Cache system
  • the Render system (specifically the render caching part)
  • the Asset Library system

The following drupal.org handbook pages have either received minor updates, received complete overhauls or were written from scratch:

Enjoy!

P.S.: if you find anything unclear on those pages, ping me in #drupal-contribute — I want to make sure these docs are as clear and helpful as possible.
