drupal 11.4.2

This is a patch (bugfix) release of Drupal 11 and is ready for use on production sites. Learn more about the latest version of Drupal.

Drupal 11.4.x will receive security coverage until June 2027.

This release fixes two regressions in the update path from 11.3.x or 10.6.x to 11.4.x.

• When running composer update, Drupal's scaffolding command would fail to create the newly required autoload_runtime.php in some cases, requiring running composer install in addition. This issue should now be resolved.
• Sites with search and/or help modules installed would in some cases run into a fatal error during updates to enable the new search_node and search_help modules, these updates should now run smoothly.

Known issues

• 11.4.0 introduced an unintentional incompatibility with certain route definitions, this is being worked on in #3608776: Regression: Route discovery isn't fully compatible with Symfony routes

Several other other bugfixes and compatibility improvements are also included, see the full list below.
