As expected, Drupal 9.1 was released on schedule at the closure of 2020. We have already talked about the Drupal 9 release and how it’s a testament to the predictable and reliable nature of the Drupal release cycle. Drupal 9.1 takes a step forward by adding more features and releasing them as predicted.

In this blog, we will be discussing the new improvements and more that will follow. 

Is it worth upgrading?

The Drupal 9.1 stable release was out as expected on Dec 2nd, 2020. We previously advocated that if you are on Drupal 8.9, you needn’t hurry to upgrade to Drupal 9.0 as you would not see many new features. But that’s changed.

Drupal 9.1 adds exciting features and updates along with support for PHP 8 (we have previously written about making Drupal 9 compatible with PHP 8).

It’s also worth upgrading as Drupal 9.1 brings significant changes in the user interface for both sighted users and assistive technology.
