Drupal 9 is end of life as of November 1st, 2023
Drupal 9 relies on several other software projects, including Symfony, CKEditor, and Twig. With Symfony 4's end of life, CKEditor 4's end of life, and Twig 2's end of life all coming up soon, Drupal 9 went end of life on November 1st, 2023. There will be no further releases of Drupal 9.
Two changes for Drupal contributed projects will occur before the end of January 2024. One is that the automated testing platform DrupalCI support for Drupal 9 will stop. The other is that release branches of contributed projects that only support Drupal 9 will be marked unsupported.
- The
9.0.xbranch works well with Drupal ~9 - Number of modules were deprecated in Drupal ~10
- The Drupal 10 core has other more needed patches
- In some cases modules have custom config, code, logic for Drupal ~10, which differ from Drupal ~9

9.1.xbranch with latest changes from the9.0.xbranch. - Change
