A new version of Drupal is only a command away

Now Drupal 10.3 has been released, and websites need to be updated to 10.3 before Drupal 11, it's time to start updating your Drupal 10 websites.

Luckily, with Composer, upgrading is one simple command.

There's no need to download .tar.gz or .zip files or update version numbers in a Drush Make file any more.

If you want to update everything, a simple composer update will do.

If you want to only update Drupal core, then you'll need to run something like composer update drupal/core or composer update drupal/core-*, or something slightly different if you're using a distribution like Commerce Kickstart or LocalGov Drupal.

I think adopting Composer was one of the best decisions the Drupal project made - not only to include third-party code, such as Symfony components, but it also makes applications so much easier to update.
