drupal 9.5.0-rc2

This is a release candidate for the next minor version (feature release) of Drupal 9. Release candidates are not supported for production sites, but they are intended for widespread testing in preparation for the upcoming stable release. More information on release candidates.

This minor release provides new improvements and functionality without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. Note that 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 and 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-rc3 release notes.
