"In total, the Drupal community worked on 4,195 different Drupal.org projects this year"

That said, 9 to 10 likely not going to change as much as 8 to 9 due to less time

Will still provide Drupal 7 (core) migrations to
Drupal 10

Drupal 10 is built in Drupal 9

Drupal 10 readiness initiative is about the "platform" itself
#3118143

PHP 8 support

Released in 9.1.0

Updated Drupal Core and worked heavily with dependencies to make PHP 8 compatible releases available.

Composer 2

Backported to even to 8.9.x

Core composer plugins updated to be Composer 2 compatible.

Actual PHP requirement planned to be raised in Drupal 10 to at least PHP 8.0. #3118147

"Composer 1 is now more or less EOL" so we will likely need to remove support.

Symfony 5

Theoretic support in Drupal 9.1.0

Symfony 5.2 recently released, various broken things found. Needs to continue as time goes on. #3161889

Symfony 6

Release date in November 2021.

Two Drupal core committers are on Symfony security team now and can make releases of non-LTS versions.

Drupal 10 will depend on Symfony 5.4 at least.
x.4 are the LTS releases.

Possibly update to Symfony 6[.1] if feasible to get more runway for Drupal 10.

jQuery UI

Many components removed in Drupal 9.0.0 already

Dialog, Autocomplete, Dropbutton, etc. are still being worked on.
#3067261

jQuery

Not changed in Drupal 9.


jQuery.once (close!), Ajax handling, event handling to be done.
#3052002

Ideally the remaining jQuery UI components will all be removed for Drupal 10.0.

Ideally removed from Drupal 10, although there are more dependencies.

Backbone.js

Not changed in Drupal 9.

Used for tour, toolbar, quickedit, editor configuration. Prototyped replacement for contextual links with vanilla JS and Vue. #3145958

jQuery Joyride

Not changed in Drupal 9.

Used for tours. Prototyped update to Shepherd.js (based on Popper.js that we already include).
#3051766

Backbone.js will likely be replaced with another solution in Drupal 10.

jQuery Joyride will likely be removed in Drupal 10 entirely.

CKEditor 5

No change yet in Drupal 9.

Optional support planned to be included in Drupal 9.3 latest. #2966864
#ckeditor5

Drupal 10 planned to include CKEditor 5, CKEditor 4 moved
to a contributed project.

  1. Object model
  2. Plugin system
  3. Configuration
  4. Migration

Starterkit theme

No change yet in Drupal 9.

Changes the paradigm of theming and responsibility of Drupal themers. #2659890

Drupal 10 will hopefully include a Starterkit theme and tools.

Starterkit theme

New: Copy & customize for your site

Current: runtime inheritance

Removing features

Some removed in Drupal 9.

Way to deprecating modules #3135100
Remove aggregator #1136482
Possibly more #3158669

Drupal API changes

Much happened in Drupal 9

These are not per say part of the Drupal 10 initiative, they are not a requirement to release Drupal 10.

Drupal 10 may remove more single purpose modules.

How long do we have?

Backwards compatible changes up to Drupal 9.3.0.
 

Alpha deadline October 25, 2021
