+'@backstage/backend-common': patch
+---
+
+Added a `Context` type for the backend, that can propagate an abort signal, a
+deadline, and contextual values through the call stack. The main entrypoint is
+the `Contexts` utility class that provides a root context creator and commonly
+used decorators.
+
+These are marked as `@alpha` for now, and are therefore only accessible via
+`@backstage/backend-common/alpha`.
