6.0.0 "Rectifier"

Drupal VM 6 drops support for some older OS distributions, to increase stability under the latest versions of Ubuntu, CentOS, and Debian, and to finally drop all support for the now-unsupported Python 2.

The Drupal VM Docker container image is now based on Debian 10 Buster, though the default Drupal VM box when running as a VirtualBox VM is still based on Ubuntu 18.04.

The default PHP version is now PHP 7.4, which works great with all the latest versions of Drupal 7, 8, and 9.

5.2.0 "The Game Has Changed"

This release defaults to Python 3 for all Ansible-related tasks, which means some older OSes require a new variable to be overridden to work correctly. For most users, no change is required, however. The release also updates the order in which Postgresql updates

Breaking Changes

• #2025: Ansible's Python interpreter now defaults to python3 (was using default which was python).

• #2025: Minimum required Vagrant version is now 2.2.0.

New/changed variables in default.config.yml
