Hot on the heels of beta 2, we are happy to announce the release of Display Builder 1.0.0-beta3! This new release focuses on stability, with a solid round of bug fixes, but also ships meaningful new features.

A big thank you to the 11 contributors who made this release possible: Juc1, a.dmitriiev, christian.wiedemann, florenttorregrosa, g4mbini, grimreaper, mogtofu33, pdureau, rodrigoaguilera, and yannickoo.

New features (beta 3)

  • Import Initial Config from Block Layout (#3547979): Display Builder can now bootstrap its configuration by importing existing block layout settings, making it much easier to onboard sites that already have a block-based setup.
  • Groups in Pattern Presets Library (#3534217): The Pattern presets library now supports grouping, making it easier to organise and browse your presets as your design system grows.
  • Entity View: Handle Block Content (#3548498): Block content entities are now properly handled in the entity view display, extending the range of content types Display Builder can manage out of the box.
  • Migration from Layout Builder – Content Overrides (#3542859): This is a major milestone: Display Builder can now migrate content overrides from Layout Builder. Teams looking to move away from Layout Builder now have a clearer upgrade path.

Bug fixes (beta 3)

  • Unexpected Properties in ComponentSource Data (#3574548): Fixed a bug where unexpected properties in component source data could cause errors during rendering.
  • Empty Renderables in Regions Prevent Layout Rendering (#3573805): Regions containing empty renderables no longer block the entire layout from rendering.
  • Instance::moveToSlot() Error with Non-SDC Ancestors (#3574921): Fixed an error thrown by moveToSlot() when an ancestor component is not a Single Directory Component (SDC).
  • JSON API Compatibility, Part 2 (#3575913): Further improvements to JSON API compatibility, following the initial fix shipped in beta 2.
  • Instances Recreated on Load (#3576464): Fixed a regression where component instances were incorrectly re-created every time the builder loaded, potentially causing data loss and unexpected behaviour.

Under the hood (beta 3)

  • UI Styles is Now a Soft Dependency (#3529495): UI Styles is no longer a hard requirement, giving more flexibility to projects that do not use it.
  • Core Patch Removed (#3572086): A previously required core patch has been merged into Drupal 11.3, so it has been dropped from the module.
  • DisplayBuildableInterface Moved to a New Plugin Type (#3549266): An internal refactor that improves the architecture of the plugin system.
  • Dependency Injection Improvements (#3563264): Applied AutowireTrait and updated constructor signatures across the codebase for cleaner, more modern dependency injection.
