This week we are celebrating launch of the new rebranded site for Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience. It was one of the best projects in my life. We were very lucky to work with design and dev team from Aten Design Group to implement vision for Knight Initiative and Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute websites.

Modern Drupal Feeds Module First Stable Release

The Feeds module enables importing data into the Drupal framework using either a web interface or APIs. Its pluggable architecture allows data imports from any source and in any format. Feeds is #66 on the list of Drupal modules and is used on over 10% of all Drupal sites.
This release represents over six years of work of a very small team of maintainers. First release of Feeds module for Drupal 8 was on April Fools’ Day 2018 8.x-3.0-alpha1. In the years after, work was done to port most features from the D7 version and as soon as all critical stuff was ported, in 2022 Feeds went into the beta phase and focus went to fixing bugs and optimization, though new features were still added too. In September 2024, after fixing a major bug and adding Drupal 11 support, the first release candidate was released.
And now, in January 2025, we’ll have the first stable release!
