There is a new Thunder release: With it, we drastically improve the sitemap generation, simplify the image upload a bit and are finally ready for PHP 8!

Thunder is one of Drupal’s most downloaded distributions — and after four years, we summed up the ups and downs in this journey at DrupalCon Europe 2020. Watch the recording of the session by Julia Pradel and Daniel Bosen here.

DrupalCon Europe was a digital event this year, but it was still an experience - with all the fun stuff. Our biggest highlight was of course the session on “4 years of Thunder: Why Hubert Burda Media went for open source”. Our colleague Michael Lenahan from Burda Home experienced four intense days and took diligent notes - read his recap here.

In the publishing industry, editors regularly create image galleries where the photos come from the same source. On the Burda sites elle.de and harpersbazaar.de, for example, these are the big fashion shows. For the editors, it used to be a hassle to properly label each individual image and add the copyright notices. We now have a solution for this: Bulk Editing.

We are so excited: Less than two weeks until DrupalCon Europe 2020: an open-source, community-driven event that gathers more than 1,500 of the top digital minds using Drupal for collaboration, knowledge sharing, friendship, and moving the project forward. And of course, the Thunder Core Team will be there! Don't miss our session about four years of Thunder at Hubert Burda Media.
