It became more user-friendly, flexible and powerful, with a more intuitive interface and better module management capabilities. And above all these it also got recognized as an ECMS (Enterprise Content Management System). Drupal 8 is under development with beta versions being released; the release date of stable version has not been announced yet. Drupal 8 is expected to provide over 200 new features and improvements. Special Focus has been put on in making Drupal Core’s accessibility better, which makes it possible to fix accessibility issues at the source, passing on the improvements by default to themes and modules being used. www.semaphore-software.com

TabManager will restrict tabbing to inessential elements to provide users, a functional workflow. CKEditor has also been added to simplify HTML editing.
