4.5.0 "Break In (For Strings, Flutes, and Celesta)"

Docker users rejoice! Drupal VM is now on Docker Hub, and you can even use Drupal VM to 'bake your own customized image' and share it with your team. See the new Docker documentation for more details.

Breaking Changes

• The default nodejs_version is now set to 6.x; if you need to stay on 0.12 or some other version, be sure to set the version explicitly in your own config.yml.

New/changed variables in default.config.yml

• Changed variables:
  • nodejs_version: "6.x" (was 0.12)

  • Reconfigurable template for Nginx hosts:
