Download Drupal 8.9.20 / 9.1.14 / 9.2.9

Updates have been released for Drupal versions 8.9, 9.1 and 9.2. Drupal is a PHP-written, user-friendly and powerful content management platform, with which, for example, websites can be created. It’s simple enough for a novice user, but powerful enough to build a more complex website as well. The program includes a content management platform and a development framework. The updates contain a fix for five security vulnerabilities.
