drupal 10.0.0-beta2

This is a beta release for the next major version of Drupal. Drupal 10 beta releases are intended for site owners and module or theme authors to test compatibility and upgrade paths for Drupal 10.0. Beta releases are not intended for production.

Refer to Preparing your site to upgrade to a newer major version for tools you can use to check the Drupal 10 compatibility of modules, themes, and sites. For more information on 10.0.x development, see #3118143: [meta] Release Drupal 10 on December 14... or 15... 2022.

The 10.0.x branch also includes all the latest commits that will be backported to 9.5.x and earlier branches. 10.0.x will be nearly identical to 9.5.x except that:

1. Deprecated code will be removed, including entire deprecated modules.
2. Dependencies will be updated to new major versions as appropriate.

For all other changes, refer to the 9.5.x branch and the release notes for Drupal 10.0.0-beta1

Important update information

Sites should update to the latest release of 9.4 prior to updating to Drupal 10

Drupal sites running 9.3.x or earlier versions must first update to 9.4.0 or later prior to updating to Drupal 10, because all core updates added prior to 9.4.0 have been removed.
To ensure CKEditor data is upgraded to CKEditor 5 correctly, sites using CKEditor should update to Drupal 9.4.4 or higher prior to updating. In general, sites should update to the most recent release of their current major branch before updating to the next major release.

Changes since Drupal 10.0.0-beta1

• This release contains fixes for SA-CORE-2022-016
• Drupal 10 requires Composer version 2.3.6 or higher to support Automatic Updates and PHP 8.2. Core developers must update to at least Composer 2.3.6 to work on Drupal core, and site owners may also receive a warning or error about older Composer versions in the future.
• The following coding standards checks have been enabled in core:

  Drupal.Array.Array.ArrayClosingIndentation
  Drupal.Array.Array.ArrayIndentation
  Drupal.Commenting.FunctionComment.MissingReturnType

• Tests will now fail on JavaScript errors. Previously, any JavaScript error that occurs that did not interfere with the functionality of the test was ignored. Now those errors are surfaced to the test runner. See the change record for details.
