Release notes
This is a patch (bugfix) release of Drupal 8 and is ready for use on production sites. Learn more about Drupal 8.
Drupal 8.9 is the final minor release of the 8.x series. It is a long-term support (LTS) version, and will receive security coverage until November 2021. It provides the same public API as Drupal 9.0 aside from deprecated code and dependency changes. (Learn more about Drupal 9.)
If you are upgrading to this release from 8.8.x, read the Drupal 8.9.0 release notes before you upgrade.
Important update information
This release provides hotfixes for two issues:
-
Yesterday, Symfony issued a security advisory for their
symfony/http-client
component, which is not used by Drupal. The Symfony release also updated some compatibility code in thesymfony/http-kernel
component.Although Drupal is not affected by this vulnerability, some site owners reported automated security scanners flagging the
http-kernel
update as a security update, breaking continuous integration builds, etc. For simplicity, this release updates Drupal's metapackages to use the latest release ofsymfony/http-kernel
(version 3.4.44). -
A regression in Drupal 9.0.4 and 8.9.4 caused Paragraphs modal dialogs to not be displayed correctly due to a CSS change in core. The issue that introduced this change has been reverted (#3070375: Hidden buttons in off-canvas dialog are not being hidden) so Paragraphs should again work as expected.
