Why are we upgrading from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9?
The time has finally come to upgrade the Open Y Core from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9. You may be asking why we are moving forward with this upgrade and what does it bring you? The highlights are: cleaner code base, deals with technical debt, more usable, accessible, inclusive, flexible, and scalable than the previous version, and brings more stability to your site.
