Drupal 10.2 added the symfony/mailer component as a composer dependency and a new experimental core mailer module is in the works. This talk will give an overview on the current state and the next steps.

At VDAB we built a visual regression testing workflow on top of BackstopJS. This open source tool lets you compare screenshots over time of (parts of) your website or application so you can maintain, update and deploy your code ensuring the visual integrity remains unchanged.
In this talk I will show you how you can set up your own BackstopJS testing workflow with examples and some different approaches. But also how we at VDAB use it on a daily basis, and all the cool features we build into our workflow.
