Email template for alerting all project maintainers of upcoming beta

Send to maintainers of projects with releases compatible with Drupal 9.0.0 or later

Double check compatibility regexp:

SELECT DISTINCT pcc.core_version_requirement, pcc.core_version_requirement REGEXP '([~^]9|9\.x)' compatible FROM project_composer_component pcc WHERE pcc.core_version_requirement LIKE '%9%' ORDER BY compatible;

Get current D9 project maintainers:

SET group_concat_max_len = 1000000; SELECT u.mail, u.name, group_concat(DISTINCT n.title SEPARATOR ', ') projects FROM node n INNER JOIN project_maintainer pm ON pm.nid = n.nid INNER JOIN users u ON u.uid = pm.uid AND u.status = 1 INNER JOIN field_data_field_release_project fdf_rp ON fdf_rp.field_release_project_target_id = n.nid INNER JOIN project_composer_component pcc ON pcc.release_nid = fdf_rp.entity_id AND pcc.core_version_requirement REGEXP '([~^]9|9\.x)' WHERE n.status = 1 AND n.nid != 3060 GROUP BY u.uid ORDER BY NULL;

Drupal 9.1.0 is scheduled to be released on December 2, 2020. In preparation we have released Drupal 9.1.0-rc3 for testing.

Minor releases provide backwards compatibility for public APIs, but include updates to third-party libraries and internal API changes according to our allowed changes policy. Also see the change records for 9.1.x.

Now is the time to test if your modules, themes, and distributions are compatible with Drupal 9.1.0's changes, and update them for 9.1.0 if necessary. If you find compatibility issues with Drupal 9.1.0-rc3 that will prevent your project from working with Drupal 9.1.0, please submit core bug reports tagged with the "Contributed project blocker" issue tag. (You can use the "Contributed project soft blocker" tag for any issues that you can work around.) Be sure to check the change records for any updates you may need to make to your project.

While you are updating your projects, note that Drupal.org recently made issue forks and merge requests available for all projects. Almost 900 merge requests have been opened already on Drupal.org, and almost 400 have already been merged. Check out the demo video to learn how it works, or read the documentation.

Security updates for Drupal 8.8.x will no longer be made available once 9.1.0 is released on December 2, 2020. Drupal 8.9.x will receive bugfix support until early 2021 and security fixes until November, 2021. 

Drupal 9.0.x's normal bugfix support ends on December 2nd, 2020. However, Drupal 9.0.x security releases are provided until the release of Drupal 9.2.0 on June 2, 2021. Starting December 2nd, site owners should upgrade sites and modules to 9.1 to continue receiving both bug and security fixes.

Your testing is very valuable in contributing to making Drupal 9.1.0 stable for all!

Thanks!

The Drupal core release managers
