drupal 9.5.0-beta2

This is a beta release for the final scheduled minor version of Drupal 9. Betas are good testing targets for developers and site builders who are comfortable reporting (and where possible, fixing) their own bugs. Beta releases are not recommended for non-technical users, nor for production websites. More information on beta releases.

This minor release provides new improvements without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. There may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules that require updates to contributed and custom modules and themes per Drupal core's backwards compatibility and experimental module policies.

Drupal 9.5 is the final minor release of the 9.x series. It will be supported until November 2023. It also provides the same public API as Drupal 10.0 aside from deprecated code. For more information on the upcoming Drupal 10 release, read the Drupal 10.0.0-beta1 release notes.

This release contains fixes for SA-CORE-2022-016.

For most changes since 9.4.x, see the Drupal 9.5.0-beta1 release notes.
