Last updated: 13th May 2026
Released: 13th May 2026
When you upgrade your website to the latest version of Acquia Site Studio, database updates are applied. This prevents the database from rolling back to the previous version.
Acquia recommends that you apply updates in your development environment and back up your website, including the database, before you upgrade Acquia Site Studio.
When you update PHP annotations to PHP attributes in the codebase, they align with modern PHP standards and make the code easier to read and maintain. The main bulk of these changes is internal, with the exception of CustomElement. CustomElement uses a PHP attribute to define metadata instead of docblock annotations. You can still use the annotation until support is removed in a future release. Acquia recommends that you update custom elements to use the new PHP attribute syntax to ensure compatibility with future versions of Site Studio.
Modern PHP attributes make the code easier to read and maintain. The update provides backward compatibility with existing annotations until support is removed in a future release.
Ensure that you update custom elements in the codebase to use the PHP attribute syntax to ensure compatibility with future versions of Site Studio. The annotation syntax functions currently, but you must transition to the attribute syntax.
