Change the download link in CHANGELOG.txt for Drupal 9

It seems like the URL would be something that follows the pattern https://www.drupal.org/8/download, and I'm wondering if the reason https://www.drupal.org/9/download doesn't work yet is because 9 is still at RC status.

The behavior on the page you mentioned sends me to the same page as clicking on "Get the release candidate" https://www.drupal.org/about/9

Agree with @sykesjs, the URL will have the same pattern and will be active once Drupal 9 is released. Here is the patch for the same.

There should be interdiff file attached, when there are more than 1 path on issue.

I think we should wait for this patch as the link in patch is givin 404 right now.

Assigning this to myself

Patch applies correctly changes the core's changelog file.

the link takes us to the download page which does not gives 404 and user can go to reading release notes from link "read release notes".

This looks fine. Changing this to RTBC

So this one is a bit odd but the current link https://www.drupal.org/8/download goes to https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/9.0.1 so going to the correct place but https://www.drupal.org/download takes you quite far away from that. I'm not sure this change is correct. I think there are two bugs here...

• https://www.drupal.org/8/download should take you to the 8.9.1 release notes
• And we need https://www.drupal.org/9/download setup to take people to 9.0.x

@drumm pointed out we can use https://www.drupal.org/latest-release

Here is the patch doing the ask in #11.

/latest-release matches the latest release exactly, and it does point/redirect to the latest release page -- currently https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/9.0.1. It's good to go!

FWIW, /8/download also is not actually Drupal-8-specific; it redirects to 9.0.1. So this is mostly a cosmetic change. But worth making if only to avoid confusing people. :)

I do not think we need a /9/download nor really see any value in making /8/download redirect to 8.9 only; our IA should be evergreen. (We've done a lot of work on various d.o resources to this end already.)

Committed to the 9.1.x, 9.0.x, and 8.9.x (because we also don't want to confuse people in Drupal 8 expecting a Drupal 8 release and getting a Drupal 9 one). Thanks!
