Description: 
-------- DRUPAL 9 IS END OF LIFE AS OF NOVEMBER 1ST, 2023
--------------------

Drupal 9 relies on several other software projects, including Symfony,
CKEditor, and Twig. With Symfony 4's end of life, CKEditor 4's end of life,
and Twig 2's end of life all coming up soon, Drupal 9 went end of life on
November 1st, 2023. There will be no further releases of Drupal 9.

Two changes for Drupal contributed projects will occur before the end of
January 2024. One is that the automated testing platform DrupalCI support for
Drupal 9 will stop. The other is that release branches of contributed
projects that only support Drupal 9 will be marked unsupported (see the
tracking issue for details [1]).

Thanks to everyone who helped create and maintain Drupal 9.

-------- IT IS TIME TO UPDATE TO  DRUPAL 10 COMPATIBLE RELEASES
--------------

Check the documentation on updating a site to Drupal 10 [2].

If a contributed project is not yet compatible with Drupal 10, now is a good
time to update it. Check for existing Drupal 10 compatibility issues relevant
for your projects.

If your project is already compatible with Drupal 10 but does not yet have a
stable release, please tag a release, once you are confident in your
project's stability. Where possible, tag a minor release supporting both
Drupal 9 and 10 to ensure users have a smooth upgrade path.
