As always, this bugfix release contains all bugfixes of the latest 4.9 version and, as in the previous versions too, it fixes various warnings related to PHP 8. In addition, bugs in the routing (interaction of prefixes with the index alias) have been fixed and the contao:migrate command now aborts if an error occurs when creating the backup. Furthermore, the metadata in the file management now validates that the license information contains a valid URL and existing migrations have been improved and additional unnecessary log entries have been removed.
