We would like to inform you about a significant milestone in the Drupal community that may impact your website. As of 30 November 2023, Drupal 9 has reached its End of Life (EOL). This means that Drupal 9 will no longer receive official support or updates from the Drupal community.
What Does Drupal 9 EOL Mean for You?
Security Updates: Drupal 9 will no longer receive security updates. This leaves your website vulnerable to potential security risks and threats.
Bug Fixes and Enhancements: Any issues or bugs that may arise in Drupal 9 will not be addressed by the community, and no new features or enhancements will be developed.
End of Support on Corporate Pipelines: From 16 November 2023 CI will actively block Drupal 9 deliveries, a manual bypass is still possible on-demand with the business approval of a DIGIT.B1.004 official. From 1 December 2023, no deployment will be possible at all. From same date no Drupal 9 site can be considered as critical.
Hosting: Drupal 9 sites hosting will be discontinued latest on 1 June 2024 (date might be anticipated in case of discovery of security vulnerabilities due to the lack of proper security fixes) with access to any remaining Drupal 9 sites restricted and allowed exclusively from EC network for final decommissioning procedure.
What Should You Do Next?
To ensure the continued security and functionality of your website, we strongly recommend to upgrade to Drupal 10 as soon as possible.
