To get the whole picture of which modules on your website need an update, it’s very helpful to analyze the site using tools like the Drupal Check CLI tool. Still, if you really need some contributed module and you see it’s not Drupal 9 compatible and has not been maintained for a while, you can update it yourself or hire developers to do it. In many cases, the contributed D8 modules do not require a lot of rewriting from their maintainers, just a few lines of deprecated code replaced. ![]() There is also a D9 Deprecation Status page by Acquia that shows the progress of contributed modules in this area. Updating the contributed modules and themesĬontributed modules are to be updated by their maintainers, and you will need to install their updated versions while checking on the module’s page if it is ready for Drupal 9.įor most of the popular modules, there will be no problem with D9 readiness. It is recommended to update the core using the Composer dependency manager. These releases introduce API compatibility, bug fixes, database optimization, and more, for D9 readiness. It all begins with updating your D8 core to version 8.8 or 8.9. Here are the key steps in getting a D8 website ready for D9: 1. The new default front-end theme named Olivero is outstanding for its high level of accessibility (WCAG AA conformance), modern design, support for the latest core functionality, and much more.As of Drupal 9.1, we see the official and full compatibility with the new PHP 8. ![]() The use of the latest PHP improves website performance, adds security, and makes the work of development and support teams more efficient.CKEditor 4.1 (with future plans for CKEditor 5).Symfony 4.4 (with future plans for Symfony 5 and even 6 that is yet to be released).Modern versions of third-party components inside D9 are bound to make websites faster, D9 supports:.D9 is backwards compatible with the latest release of D8 and the efforts needed for an upgrade are really minor. They are nothing to compare with tedious D7 to D8 upgrades that used to take almost the time of a rebuild from scratch. Still, there are several improvements we can see in it right now: D9.0 is almost the same as D8.9 released on the same day but with dependencies updated and deprecations removed.ĭevelopers are working on ambitious enhancements for D9 throughout its development to make it more user-friendly, more open to other digital channels, more accessible, etc. On the contrary, D9 is built on D8’s codebase. It is not a rebuild of the core as was the case with Drupal 8. In D9, we do not expect ground-breaking changes from the start. One and a half years ago, only one-third of the top 50 modules were ready for it and today their share is 90%! This means that more websites that are using the most popular add-on community-created modules can upgrade to Drupal 9 in a hassle-free way. This presentation says that contributed modules are also getting more prepared for D9. For comparison, it took three months to reach the same milestone for D7 to D8 upgrades. According to this information, it only took one month to jump from 0 to 60,000 websites on D9. Dries Buytaert summed up his keynote speech at DrupalCon North America 2021 in his State of Drupal presentation of April 2021. The latest statistics show the record-breaking popularity of D9.

Today, we will review how to prepare and how to actually perform your Drupal 8 to Drupal 9 upgrade. The key part of the Drupal 9 upgrade is getting your website ready based on a number of requirements. Now that it has almost been a year after the release, there is a growing number of websites that have already made this easiest upgrade in history. Finally, the ninth version of the CMS was released in June, 2020. Several years ago we were all happy to discover the great news about the upcoming Drupal 9 that promised to be super easy to upgrade to.
