Pantheon release notes

More crawlers can now access platform domains, like test-example.pantheonsite.io, to support pre-release SEO testing. Details: https://github.com/pantheon-systems/documentation/pull/3827

WordPress 4.9.6 has been pushed to all site dashboards.

PHP 5.5 and 5.3 have reached end-of-life (EOL), and PHP 5.6 and 7.0 will reach EOL in December 2018 so upgrade to PHP 7.1 or 7.2 as soon as possible.

PHP has been upgraded to 5.6.36, 7.0.30, 7.1.17 and 7.2.5 platform-wide.

The platform-wide build of PHP 7.2 now supports connecting to an external Microsoft SQL server via sqlsrv functions. Your CMS should use Pantheon's default database, but this unlocks use cases that require connecting to an external MS SQL server.

Use the filemount configuration to modify the default location of Pantheon's cloud-based filesystem. For details, see Pantheon YAML Configuration Files.

The new Terminus Site Clone plugin makes it easier than ever to duplicate sites on Pantheon. For details, see Migrate Sites to Pantheon FAQs.
