Drupal 8.x

drupal 8.9.7

php : 

drupal@wpdemo:/var/www/html$ php -v

i was trying to upgrade drupal from 8.9.7 to 8.9.8 so i ran 

composer outdated "drupal/*"

 which gave me the following error 

Is there a Views PDF alternative for Drupal 8 ? My current task require the features View_PDF states.

I installed Drupal 8.9.6 but also 8.9.7 and found a big problem.
Example:
Create a block
Place the block in the region of your choice.
In the block settings, select the visibility for the Administrator role only.
Go to the Home or any page.
If you are logged in as user 1, you will not see the block.
Warning I have simulated this by downloading the versions I mentioned above. (I haven't updated the core to this version.)
I did some research and I believe this anomaly is related to this question.

How to enable option to duplicate a content under /admin/content page

Basically under /admin/content in the content listing section there are options for edit , translate and delete.

I want to introduce an option -duplicate to duplicate any content with ease.

How to do it?

Suggestions are welcome

I'm using a Varbase Hero content type on my front-page.

Out of the box, it allows for setting the hero image, title, brief, more-link just fine.

But depending on the particular image, it would be cool to tweak the text overlay shadow color to be in the same pallet of the image.  Maybe set a color-field in the content fields and somehow use the twig to fetch the color and override the shadow color.

I'll play around with it more but has anyone ever tried to use dynamic coloring based on the content values?

Does Drupal 8 support having PostgreSQL13 as the backend on Linux? Are there any special php - or other - requirements when (hopefully) using this version of PostgreSQL?

Thank you.
