drupal 9.4.9

This is a patch (bugfix) release of Drupal 9 and is ready for use on production sites. Learn more about Drupal 9.

This is the final normal bugfix release of Drupal 9.4.x. It will receive security coverage until June 2023. Plan to upgrade to Drupal 9.5 or 10.0 soon to continue receiving bug fixes and new features.

If you are upgrading from Drupal 8, read upgrading a Drupal 8 site to Drupal 9, 9.0.0 release notes, and the 9.4.0 release notes before upgrading to this release.

Important update information

• CKEditor 5 has been updated to version 35.3.2.

• Drupal 9.4.9 has fixed an issue that could prevent some sites, especially those on Drupal 8.8 or lower with invalid configuration entities, updating to newer versions. If your site is on Drupal 8.8.x, you should consider updating directly to Drupal 9.4.9 so that you're able to run the fixed version of the update. Sites on versions lower than Drupal 8.8 must update to Drupal 8.8 first, and can then update directly to Drupal 9.4 from there. If you are on Drupal 8.9, you can continue to update directly to Drupal 9.4.
