Important update information
The Quick Edit integration for Layout Builder is now provided by the Quick Edit module. This has been backported to 9.4.2 to retain as much parity as possible with the contributed version of Quick Edit.
Composer 2.2.0 introduced a new security feature that requires Composer projects to authorize plugins. This change means that Composer commands to install and update Drupal projects will fail unless either the required plugins are authorized in the project configuration or the user manually replies "
y" to a prompt to authorize the plugin. The prompt can break continuous integration and deployment workflows, so it is recommended that projects authorize core's required plugins (and projects using development dependencies should authorize development plugins).This release configures
drupal/recommended-projectto authorize core's required and development plugins by default. Existing projects may also need to update their configuration to authorize these plugins. For more information, review Composer 2.2+ authorized plugins.
