  1. Drupal 7.39, 2015-08-19
  2. -----------------------
  3. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-003.
  4. Drupal 7.38, 2015-06-17
  5. -----------------------
  6. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-002.
  7. Drupal 7.37, 2015-05-07
  8. -----------------------
  9. - Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.36 which caused certain kinds of content types
  10. to become disabled if they were defined by a no-longer-enabled module.
  11. - Removed a confusing description regarding automatic time zone detection from
  12. the user account form (minor UI and data structure change).
  13. - Allowed custom HTML tags with a dash in the name to pass through filter_xss()
  14. when specified in the list of allowed tags.
  15. - Allowed hook_field_schema() implementations to specify indexes for fields
  16. based on a fixed-length column prefix (rather than the entire column), as was
  17. already allowed in hook_schema() implementations.
  18. - Fixed PDO exceptions on PostgreSQL when accessing invalid entity URLs.
  19. - Added a sites/all/libraries folder to the codebase, with instructions for
  20. using it.
  21. - Added a description to the "Administer text formats and filters" permission
  22. on the Permissions page (string change).
  23. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  24. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  25. - Additional automated test coverage.
  26. Drupal 7.36, 2015-04-01
  27. -----------------------
  28. - Added a 'file_public_schema' variable which allows modules that define
  29. publicly-accessible streams in hook_stream_wrappers() to bypass file download
  30. access checks when processing managed file upload fields.
  31. - Fixed a bug that caused database query tags not to be added to search-related
  32. database queries under many circumstances, and which prevented the
  33. corresponding hook_query_TAG_alter() implementations from being called.
  34. - Fixed the "for" attribute on managed file upload field labels to improve
  35. accessibility (minor markup change).
  36. - Added a 'javascript_always_use_jquery' variable which can be set to FALSE by
  37. sites that may not need jQuery loaded on all pages, and a 'requires_jquery'
  38. option to drupal_add_js() which modules can set to FALSE when adding
  39. JavaScript files that have no dependency on jQuery (API addition:
  40. https://www.drupal.org/node/2462717).
  41. - Fixed incorrect foreign keys in the User module's role_permission and
  42. users_roles database tables.
  43. - Changed permission descriptions throughout Drupal core to consistently link
  44. to relevant administrative pages, regardless of whether the user viewing the
  45. Permissions page can view the page being linked to (minor UI change).
  46. - Fixed the drupal_add_region_content() function so that it actually adds
  47. content to the page.
  48. - Added an 'image_suppress_itok_output' variable to allow sites already using
  49. the existing 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to also prevent
  50. security tokens from appearing in image derivative URLs.
  51. - Fixed double-escaping of theme names in the Block module administrative
  52. interface (minor string change).
  53. - Added basic support for Xdebug when running automated tests.
  54. - Fixed a bug which caused previewing a node to remove elements from the node
  55. being edited. With this fix, calling node_preview() will no longer modify the
  56. passed-in node object (minor API change).
  57. - Added a user_has_role() function to check whether a user has a particular
  58. role (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2462411).
  59. - Fixed installation failures when an opcode cache is enabled.
  60. - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused private
  61. files to be inaccessible.
  62. - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused user
  63. pictures to be lost.
  64. - Fixed missing language code in hook_field_attach_view_alter() when it is
  65. invoked from field_view_field().
  66. - Stopped sending ETag and Last-Modified headers for uncached page requests,
  67. since they break caching for certain Varnish and Nginx configurations.
  68. - Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-4 test classes to be used in
  69. Drupal 7.
  70. - Fixed a fatal error that occurred when using the Comment module's "Unpublish
  71. comment containing keyword(s)" action.
  72. - Changed the "lang" attribute on language links to "xml:lang" so it validates
  73. as XHTML (minor markup change).
  74. - Prevented the form API from allowing arrays to be submitted for various form
  75. elements, such as textfields, textareas, and password fields (API change:
  76. https://www.drupal.org/node/2462723).
  77. - Fixed a bug in the Contact module which caused the global user object to have
  78. the incorrect name and e-mail address during the remainder of the page
  79. request after the contact form is submitted.
  80. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  81. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  82. - Additional automated test coverage.
  83. Drupal 7.35, 2015-03-18
  84. ----------------------
  85. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-001.
  86. Drupal 7.34, 2014-11-19
  87. ----------------------
  88. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-006.
  89. Drupal 7.33, 2014-11-07
  90. -----------------------
  91. - Began storing the file modification time of each module and theme in the
  92. {system} database table so that contributed modules can use it to identify
  93. recently changed modules and themes (minor data structure change to the
  94. return value of system_get_info() and other related functions).
  95. - Added a "Did you mean?" feature to the run-tests.sh script for running
  96. automated tests from the command line, to help developers who are attempting
  97. to run a particular test class or group.
  98. - Changed the date format used in various HTTP headers output by Drupal core
  99. from RFC 1123 format to RFC 7231 format.
  100. - Added a "block_cache_bypass_node_grants" variable to allow sites which have
  101. node access modules enabled to use the block cache if desired (API addition).
  102. - Made image derivative generation HTTP requests return a 404 error (rather
  103. than a 500 error) when the source image does not exist.
  104. - Fixed a bug which caused user pictures to be removed from the user object
  105. after saving, and resulted in data loss if the user account was subsequently
  106. re-saved.
  107. - Fixed a bug in which field_has_data() did not return TRUE for fields that
  108. only had data in older entity revisions, leading to loss of the field's data
  109. when the field configuration was edited.
  110. - Fixed a bug which caused the Ajax progress throbber to appear misaligned in
  111. many situatons (minor styling change).
  112. - Prevented the Bartik theme from lower-casing the "Permalink" link on
  113. comments, for improved multilingual support (minor UI change).
  114. - Added a "preferred_menu_links" tag to the database query that is used by
  115. menu_link_get_preferred() to find the preferred menu link for a given path,
  116. to make it easier to alter.
  117. - Increased the maximum allowed length of block titles to 255 characters
  118. (database schema change to the {block} table).
  119. - Removed the Field module's field_modules_uninstalled() function, since it did
  120. not do anything when it was invoked.
  121. - Added a "theme_hook_original" variable to templates and theme functions and
  122. an optional sitewide theme debug mode, to provide contextual information in
  123. the page's HTML to theme developers. The theme debug mode is based on the one
  124. used with Twig in Drupal 8 and can be accessed by setting the "theme_debug"
  125. variable to TRUE (API addition).
  126. - Added an entity_view_mode_prepare() API function to allow entity-defining
  127. modules to properly invoke hook_entity_view_mode_alter(), and used it
  128. throughout Drupal core to fix bugs with the invocation of that hook (API
  129. change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2369141).
  130. - Security improvement: Made the database API's orderBy() method sanitize the
  131. sort direction ("ASC" or "DESC") for queries built with db_select(), so that
  132. calling code does not have to.
  133. - Changed the RDF module to consistently output RDF metadata for nodes and
  134. comments near where the node is rendered in the HTML (minor markup and data
  135. structure change).
  136. - Added an HTML class to RDFa metatags throughout Drupal to prevent them from
  137. accidentally affecting the site appearance (minor markup change).
  138. - Fixed a bug in the Unicode requirements check which prevented installing
  139. Drupal on PHP 5.6.
  140. - Fixed a bug which caused drupal_get_bootstrap_phase() to abort the bootstrap
  141. when called early in the page request.
  142. - Renamed the "Search result" view mode to "Search result highlighting input"
  143. to better reflect how it is used (UI change).
  144. - Improved database queries generated by EntityFieldQuery in the case where
  145. delta or language condition groups are used, to reduce the number of INNER
  146. JOINs (this is a minor data structure change affecting code which implements
  147. hook_query_alter() on these queries).
  148. - Removed special-case behavior for file uploads which allowed user #1 to
  149. bypass maximum file size and user quota limits.
  150. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  151. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  152. - Additional automated test coverage.
  153. Drupal 7.32, 2014-10-15
  154. ----------------------
  155. - Fixed security issues (SQL injection). See SA-CORE-2014-005.
  156. Drupal 7.31, 2014-08-06
  157. ----------------------
  158. - Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2014-004.
  159. Drupal 7.30, 2014-07-24
  160. -----------------------
  161. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.29 that caused files or images
  162. attached to taxonomy terms to be deleted when the taxonomy term was edited
  163. and resaved (and other related bugs with contributed and custom modules).
  164. - Added a warning on the permissions page to recommend restricting access to
  165. the "View site reports" permission to trusted administrators. See
  166. DRUPAL-PSA-2014-002.
  167. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  168. - Additional automated test coverage.
  169. Drupal 7.29, 2014-07-16
  170. ----------------------
  171. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-003.
  172. Drupal 7.28, 2014-05-08
  173. -----------------------
  174. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.27 that caused JavaScript to break
  175. on older browsers (such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier) when Ajax was
  176. used.
  177. - Increased the timeout used by the Update Manager module when it fetches data
  178. from drupal.org (from 5 seconds to 30 seconds), to work around a problem
  179. which causes incomplete information about security updates to be presented to
  180. site administrators. This fix may lead to a performance slowdown on the
  181. Update Manager administration pages, when installing Drupal distributions,
  182. and (for sites that use the automated cron feature) on occasional page loads
  183. by site visitors.
  184. - Fixed the behavior of the token system's "[node:summary]" token when the body
  185. field does not have a manual summary.
  186. - Changed the behavior of db_query_temporary() so that it works on SELECT
  187. queries even when they have leading comments/whitespace. A side effect of
  188. this fix is that db_query_temporary() will now fail with an error if it is
  189. ever used on non-SELECT queries.
  190. - Added a "node_admin_filter" tag to the database query used to build the list
  191. of nodes on the content administration page, to make it easier to alter.
  192. - Made the cron queue system log any exceptions that are thrown while an item
  193. in the queue is being processed, rather than stopping the entire PHP request.
  194. - Improved screen reader support by adding an aria-live HTML attribute to file
  195. upload fields when there is an error uploading the file (minor markup
  196. change).
  197. - Made the pager on the Tracker module listing pages show the same number of
  198. items as other pagers throughout Drupal core (minor UI change).
  199. - Fixed a bug which caused caches not to be properly cleared when a file entity
  200. was saved or deleted.
  201. - Added several missing countries to the default list returned by
  202. country_get_list() (string change).
  203. - Replaced the term "weight" with "influence" in the content ranking settings
  204. for search, and added help text for administrators (string change).
  205. - Fixed untranslatable text strings in the administrative interface for the
  206. "Crop" effect provided by the Image module (minor string change).
  207. - Fixed a bug in the Taxonomy module update function introduced in Drupal 7.26
  208. that caused memory and CPU problems on sites with very large numbers of
  209. unpublished nodes.
  210. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  211. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  212. - Additional automated test coverage.
  213. Drupal 7.27, 2014-04-16
  214. ----------------------
  215. - Fixed security issues (information disclosure). See SA-CORE-2014-002.
  216. Drupal 7.26, 2014-01-15
  217. ----------------------
  218. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-001.
  219. Drupal 7.25, 2014-01-02
  220. -----------------------
  221. - Fixed a bug in node_save() which prevented the saved node from being updated
  222. in hook_node_insert() and other similar hooks.
  223. - Added a meta tag to install.php to prevent it from being indexed by search
  224. engines even when Drupal is installed in a subfolder (minor markup change).
  225. - Fixed a bug in the database API that caused frequent deadlock errors when
  226. running merge queries on some servers.
  227. - Performance improvement: Prevented block rehashing from writing blocks to the
  228. database on every cache clear and cron run when the blocks have not changed.
  229. This fix results in an extra 'saved' key which is added and set to TRUE for
  230. each block returned by _block_rehash() that actually is saved to the database
  231. (data structure change).
  232. - Added an optional 'skip on cron' parameter to hook_cron_queue_info() to allow
  233. queues to avoid being automatically processed on cron runs (API addition).
  234. - Fixed a bug which caused hook_block_view_MODULE_DELTA_alter() to never be
  235. invoked if the block delta had a hyphen in it. To implement the hook when the
  236. block delta has a hyphen, modules should now replace hyphens with underscores
  237. when constructing the function name for the hook implementation.
  238. - Fixed a bug which caused cached pages to sometimes be sent to the browser
  239. with incorrect compression. The fix adds a new 'page_compressed' key to the
  240. $cache->data array returned by drupal_page_get_cache() (minor data structure
  241. change).
  242. - Fixed broken tests on PHP 5.5.
  243. - Made the File and Image modules more robust when saving entities that have
  244. deleted files attached. The code in file_field_presave() will now remove the
  245. record of the deleted file from the entity before saving (minor data
  246. structure change).
  247. - Standardized menu callback functions throughout Drupal core to return
  248. MENU_NOT_FOUND and MENU_ACCESS_DENIED rather than printing their own "page
  249. not found" or "access denied" pages (minor API change in the return value of
  250. these functions under some circumstances).
  251. - Fixed a bug in which caches were not properly cleared when a node was deleted
  252. via the administrative interface.
  253. - Changed the Bartik theme to render content contained in <pre>, <code> and
  254. similar tags in a larger font size, so it is easier to read.
  255. - Fixed a bug in the Search module that caused exceptions to be thrown during
  256. searches if the server was not configured to represent decimal points as a
  257. period.
  258. - Fixed a regression in the Image module that made image_style_url() not work
  259. when a relative path (rather than a complete file URI) was passed to it.
  260. - Added an optional feature to the Statistics module to allow node views to be
  261. tracked by Ajax requests rather than during the server-side generation of the
  262. page. This allows the node counter to work on sites that use external page
  263. caches (string change and new administrative option:
  264. https://drupal.org/node/2164069).
  265. - Added a link to the drupal.org documentation page for cron to the Cron
  266. settings page (string change).
  267. - Added a 'drupal_anonymous_user_object' variable to allow the anonymous user
  268. object returned by drupal_anonymous_user() to be overridden with a classed
  269. object (API addition).
  270. - Changed the database API to allow inserts based on a SELECT * query to work
  271. correctly.
  272. - Changed the database schema of the {file_managed} table to allow Drupal to
  273. manage files larger than 4 GB.
  274. - Changed the File module's hook_field_load() implementation to prevent file
  275. entity properties which have the same name as file or image field properties
  276. from overwriting the field properties (minor API change).
  277. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  278. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  279. - Additional automated test coverage.
  280. Drupal 7.24, 2013-11-20
  281. ----------------------
  282. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities), see SA-CORE-2013-003.
  283. Drupal 7.23, 2013-08-07
  284. -----------------------
  285. - Fixed a fatal error on PostgreSQL databases when updating the Taxonomy module
  286. from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.
  287. - Fixed the default ordering of CSS files for sites using right-to-left
  288. languages, to consistently place the right-to-left override file immediately
  289. after the CSS it is overriding (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058463).
  290. - Added a drupal_check_memory_limit() API function to allow the memory limit to
  291. be checked consistently (API addition).
  292. - Changed the default web.config file for IIS servers to allow favicon.ico
  293. files which are present in the filesystem to be accessed.
  294. - Fixed inconsistent support for the 'tel' protocol in Drupal's URL filtering
  295. functions.
  296. - Performance improvement: Allowed all hooks to be included in the
  297. module_implements() cache, even those that are only invoked on HTTP POST
  298. requests.
  299. - Made the database system replace truncate queries with delete queries when
  300. inside a transaction, to fix issues with PostgreSQL and other databases.
  301. - Fixed a bug which caused nested contextual links to display improperly.
  302. - Fixed a bug which prevented cached image derivatives from being flushed for
  303. private files and other non-default file schemes.
  304. - Fixed drupal_render() to always return an empty string when there is no
  305. output, rather than sometimes returning NULL (minor API change).
  306. - Added protection to cache_clear_all() to ensure that non-cache tables cannot
  307. be truncated (API addition: a new isValidBin() method has been added to the
  308. default database cache implementation).
  309. - Changed the default .htaccess file to support HTTP authorization in CGI
  310. environments.
  311. - Changed the password reset form to pre-fill the username when requested via a
  312. URL query parameter, and used this in the error message that appears after a
  313. failed login attempt (minor data structure and behavior change).
  314. - Fixed broken support for foreign keys in the field API.
  315. - Fixed "No active batch" error when a user cancels their own account.
  316. - Added a description to the "access content overview" permission on the
  317. permissions page (string change).
  318. - Added a drupal_array_diff_assoc_recursive() function to allow associative
  319. arrays to be compared recursively (API addition).
  320. - Added human-readable labels to image styles, in addition to the existing
  321. machine-readable name (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058503).
  322. - Moved the drupal_get_hash_salt() function to bootstrap.inc and used it in
  323. additional places in the code, for added security in the case where there is
  324. no hash salt in settings.php.
  325. - Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.22 that caused internal server errors for
  326. sites running on very old Apache 1.x web servers.
  327. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  328. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  329. - Additional automated test coverage.
  330. Drupal 7.22, 2013-04-03
  331. -----------------------
  332. - Allowed the drupal_http_request() function to be overridden so that
  333. additional HTTP request capabilities can be added by contributed modules.
  334. - Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-0 test classes to be used in
  335. Drupal 7.
  336. - Removed an unnecessary "Content-Disposition" header from private file
  337. downloads; it prevented many private files from being viewed inline in a web
  338. browser.
  339. - Changed various field API functions to allow them to optionally act on a
  340. single field within an entity (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1825844).
  341. - Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal's file transfer functionality from working
  342. on some PHP 5.4 systems.
  343. - Fixed incorrect log message when theme() is called for a theme hook that does
  344. not exist (minor string change).
  345. - Fixed Drupal's token-replacement system to allow spaces in the token value.
  346. - Changed the default behavior after a user creates a node they do not have
  347. access to view. The user will now be redirected to the front page rather than
  348. an access denied page.
  349. - Fixed a bug which prevented empty HTTP headers (such as "0") from being set.
  350. (Minor behavior change: Callers of drupal_add_http_header() must now set
  351. FALSE explicitly to prevent a header from being sent at all; this was already
  352. indicated in the function's documentation.)
  353. - Fixed OpenID errors when more than one module implements hook_openid(). The
  354. behavior is now changed so that if more than one module tries to set the same
  355. parameter, the last module's change takes effect.
  356. - Fixed a serious documentation bug: The $name variable in the
  357. taxonomy-term.tpl.php theme template was incorrectly documented as being
  358. sanitized when in fact it is not.
  359. - Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
  360. duplicate permission names in the User module's database tables.
  361. - Added an empty "datatype" attribute to taxonomy term and username links to
  362. make the RDFa markup upward compatible with RDFa 1.1 (minor markup addition).
  363. - Fixed a bug which caused the denial-of-service protection added in Drupal
  364. 7.20 to break certain valid image URLs that had an extra slash in them.
  365. - Fixed a bug with update queries in the SQLite database driver that prevented
  366. Drupal from being installed with SQLite on PHP 5.4.
  367. - Fixed enforced dependencies errors updating to recent versions of Drupal 7 on
  368. certain non-MySQL databases.
  369. - Refactored the Field module's caching behavior to obtain large improvements
  370. in memory usage for sites with many fields and instances (API addition:
  371. http://drupal.org/node/1915646).
  372. - Fixed entity argument not being passed to implementations of
  373. hook_file_download_access_alter(). The fix adds an additional context
  374. parameter that can be passed when calling drupal_alter() for any hook (API
  375. change: http://drupal.org/node/1882722).
  376. - Fixed broken support for translatable comment fields (API change:
  377. http://drupal.org/node/1874724).
  378. - Added an assertThemeOutput() method to Simpletest to allow tests to check
  379. that themed output matches an expected HTML string (API addition).
  380. - Added a link to "Install another module" after a module has been successfully
  381. downloaded via the Update Manager (UI change).
  382. - Added an optional "exclusive" flag to installation profile .info files which
  383. allows Drupal distributions to force a profile to be selected during
  384. installation (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1961012).
  385. - Fixed a bug which caused the database API to not properly close database
  386. connections.
  387. - Added a link to the URL for running cron from outside the site to the Cron
  388. settings page (UI change).
  389. - Fixed a bug which prevented image styles from being reverted on PHP 5.4.
  390. - Made the default .htaccess rules protocol sensitive to improve security for
  391. sites which use HTTPS and redirect between "www" and non-"www" versions of
  392. the page.
  393. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  394. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  395. - Additional automated test coverage.
  396. Drupal 7.21, 2013-03-06
  397. -----------------------
  398. - Allowed sites using the 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to still
  399. have partial protection from the security issues fixed in Drupal 7.20.
  400. Drupal 7.20, 2013-02-20
  401. -----------------------
  402. - Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2013-002.
  403. Drupal 7.19, 2013-01-16
  404. -----------------------
  405. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2013-001.
  406. Drupal 7.18, 2012-12-19
  407. -----------------------
  408. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2012-004.
  409. Drupal 7.17, 2012-11-07
  410. -----------------------
  411. - Changed the default value of the '404_fast_html' variable to have a DOCTYPE
  412. declaration.
  413. - Made it possible to use associative arrays for the 'items' variable in
  414. theme_item_list().
  415. - Fixed a bug which prevented required form elements without a title from being
  416. given an "error" class when the form fails validation.
  417. - Prevented duplicate HTML IDs from appearing when two forms are displayed on
  418. the same page and one of them is submitted with invalid data (minor markup
  419. change).
  420. - Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
  421. stale data in the Upload module's database tables.
  422. - Fixed a bug in the States API which prevented certain types of form elements
  423. from being disabled when requested.
  424. - Allowed aggregator feed items with author names longer than 255 characters to
  425. have a truncated version saved to the database (rather than causing a fatal
  426. error).
  427. - Allowed aggregator feed items to have URLs longer than 255 characters
  428. (schema change which results in several columns in the Aggregator module's
  429. database tables changing from VARCHAR to TEXT fields).
  430. - Added hook_taxonomy_term_view() and standardized the process for rendering
  431. taxonomy terms to invoke hook_entity_view() and otherwise make it consistent
  432. with other entities (API change: http://drupal.org/node/1808870).
  433. - Added hook_entity_view_mode_alter() to allow modules to change entity view
  434. modes on display (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1833086).
  435. - Fixed a bug which made database queries running a "LIKE" query on blob fields
  436. fail on PostgreSQL databases. This caused errors during the Drupal 6 to
  437. Drupal 7 upgrade.
  438. - Changed the hook_menu() entry for Drupal's rss.xml page to prevent extra path
  439. components from being accidentally passed to the page callback function (data
  440. structure change).

  736. Drupal 7.0, 2011-01-05
  737. ----------------------
  738. - Database:
  739. * Fully rewritten database layer utilizing PHP 5's PDO abstraction layer.
  740. * Drupal now requires MySQL >= 5.0.15 or PostgreSQL >= 8.3.
  741. * Added query builders for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, and SELECT queries.
  742. * Support for master/slave replication, transactions, multi-insert queries,
  743. and other features.

  746. This offers increased scalability and data integrity.
  747. - Security:
  748. * Protected cron.php -- cron will only run if the proper key is provided.
  749. * Implemented a pluggable password system and much stronger password hashes
  750. that are compatible with the Portable PHP password hashing framework.
  751. * Rate limited login attempts to prevent brute-force password guessing, and
  752. improved the flood control API to allow variable time windows and
  753. identifiers for limiting user access to resources.
  754. * Transformed the "Update status" module into the "Update manager" which
  755. can securely install or update modules and themes via a web interface.
  756. - Usability:
  757. * Added contextual links (a.k.a. local tasks) to page elements, such as
  758. blocks, nodes, or comments, which allows to perform the most common tasks
  759. with a single click only.
  760. * Improved installer requirements check.
  761. * Improved support for integration of WYSIWYG editors.
  762. * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for input format listings.

  767. * Removed display order settings for comment module. Comment display
  768. order can now be customized using the Views module.
  769. * Removed the 'related terms' feature from taxonomy module since this can
  770. now be achieved with Field API.
  771. * Added additional features to the default installation profile, and
  772. implemented a "slimmed down" profile designed for developers.
  773. * Added a built-in, automated cron run feature, which is triggered by site
  774. visitors.
  775. * Added an administrator role which is assigned all permissions for
  776. installed modules automatically.
  777. * Image toolkits are now provided by modules (rather than requiring a
  778. manual file copy to the includes directory).

  787. automatic summaries and increases usability.
  788. * Replaced fieldsets on node edit and add pages with vertical tabs.
  789. - Performance:
  790. * Improved performance on uncached page views by loading multiple core
  791. objects in a single database query.
  792. * Improved performance for logged-in users by reducing queries for path
  793. alias lookups.
  794. * Improved support for HTTP proxies (including reverse proxies), allowing
  795. anonymous page views to be served entirely from the proxy.
  796. - Documentation:
  797. * Hook API documentation now included in Drupal core.
  798. - News aggregator:
  799. * Added OPML import functionality for RSS feeds.

  807. items.
  808. - Testing:
  809. * Added test framework and tests.
  810. - Improved time zone support:
  811. * Drupal now uses PHP's time zone database when rendering dates in local
  812. time. Site-wide and user-configured time zone offsets have been converted
  813. to time zone names, e.g. Africa/Abidjan.
  814. * In some cases the upgrade and install scripts do not choose the preferred
  815. site default time zone. The automatically-selected time zone can be
  816. corrected at admin/config/regional/settings.
  817. * If your site is being upgraded from Drupal 6 and you do not have the
  818. contributed date or event modules installed, user time zone settings will
  819. fallback to the system time zone and will have to be reconfigured by each user.
  820. * User-configured time zones now serve as the default time zone for PHP
  821. date/time functions.
  822. - Filter system:
  823. * Revamped the filter API and text format storage.
  824. * Added support for default text formats to be assigned on a per-role basis.
  825. * Refactored the HTML corrector to take advantage of PHP 5 features.
  826. - User system:
  827. * Added clean API functions for creating, loading, updating, and deleting
  828. user roles and permissions.
  829. * Refactored the "access rules" component of user module: The user module
  830. now provides a simple interface for blocking single IP addresses. The
  831. previous functionality in the user module for restricting certain e-mail
  832. addresses and usernames is now available as a contributed module. Further,
  833. IP address range blocking is no longer supported and should be implemented
  834. at the operating system level.
  835. * Removed per-user themes: Contributed modules with similar functionality
  836. are available.
  837. - OpenID:
  838. * Added support for Gmail and Google Apps for Domain identifiers. Users can
  839. now login with their user@example.com identifier when example.com is powered
  840. by Google.
  841. * Made the OpenID module more pluggable.
  842. - Added code registry:
  843. * Using the registry, modules declare their includable files via their .info file,
  844. allowing Drupal to lazy-load classes and interfaces as needed.
  845. - Theme system:
  846. * Removed the Bluemarine, Chameleon and Pushbutton themes. These themes live
  847. on as contributed themes (http://drupal.org/project/bluemarine,
  848. http://drupal.org/project/chameleon and http://drupal.org/project/pushbutton).
  849. * Added Stark theme to make analyzing Drupal's default HTML and CSS easier.
  850. * Added Seven as the default administration theme.
  851. * Variable preprocessing of theme hooks prior to template rendering now goes
  852. through two phases: a 'preprocess' phase and a new 'process' phase. See
  853. http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
  854. * Theme hooks implemented as functions (rather than as templates) can now
  855. also have preprocess (and process) functions. See
  856. http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
  857. * Added Bartik as the default theme.
  858. - File handling:
  859. * Files are now first class Drupal objects with file_load(), file_save(),
  860. and file_validate() functions and corresponding hooks.
  861. * The file_move(), file_copy() and file_delete() functions now operate on
  862. file objects and invoke file hooks so that modules are notified and can
  863. respond to changes.
  864. * For the occasions when only basic file manipulation are needed--such as
  865. uploading a site logo--that don't require the overhead of databases and
  866. hooks, the current unmanaged copy, move and delete operations have been
  867. preserved but renamed to file_unmanaged_*().
  868. * Rewrote file handling to use PHP stream wrappers to enable support for
  869. both public and private files and to support pluggable storage mechanisms
  870. and access to remote resources (e.g. S3 storage or Flickr photos).
  871. * The mime_extension_mapping variable has been removed. Modules that need to
  872. alter the default MIME type extension mappings should implement
  873. hook_file_mimetype_mapping_alter().
  874. * Added the hook_file_url_alter() hook, which makes it possible to serve
  875. files from a CDN.
  876. * Added a field specifically for uploading files, previously provided by

  888. * Modules can declare RDF namespaces which are serialized in the <html> tag
  889. for RDFa support.
  890. * Modules can specify how their data structure maps to RDF.
  891. * Added support for RDFa export of nodes, comments, terms, users, etc. and
  892. their fields.
  893. - Search engine optimization and web linking:
  894. * Added a rel="canonical" link on node and comment pages to prevent
  895. duplicate content indexing by search engines.
  896. * Added a default rel="shortlink" link on node and comment pages that
  897. advertises a short link as an alternative URL to third-party services.
  898. * Meta information is now alterable by all modules before rendering.
  899. - Field API:
  900. * Custom data fields may be attached to nodes, users, comments and taxonomy
  901. terms.
  902. * Node bodies and teasers are now Field API fields instead of
  903. being a hard-coded property of node objects.
  904. * In addition, any other object type may register with Field API
  905. and allow custom data fields to be attached to itself.
  906. * Provides most of the features of the former Content Construction
  907. Kit (CCK) module.
  908. * Taxonomy terms are now Field API fields that can be added to any fieldable
  909. object.
  910. - Installer:
  911. * Refactored the installer into an API that allows Drupal to be installed
  912. via a command line script.
  913. - Page organization
  914. * Made the help text area a full featured region with blocks.
  915. * Site mission is replaced with the highlighted content block region and
  916. separate RSS feed description settings.
  917. * The footer message setting was removed in favor of custom blocks.
  918. * Made the main page content a block which can be moved and ordered
  919. with other blocks in the same region.
  920. * Blocks can now return structured arrays for later rendering just
  921. like page callbacks.
  922. - Translation system
  923. * The translation system now supports message context (msgctxt).
  924. * Added support for translatable fields to Field API.
  925. - JavaScript changes
  926. * Upgraded the core JavaScript library to jQuery version 1.4.4.
  927. * Upgraded the jQuery Forms library to 2.52.
  928. * Added jQuery UI 1.8.7, which allows improvements to Drupal's user
  929. experience.
  930. - Better module version support
  931. * Modules now can specify which version of another module they depend on.
  932. - Removed modules from core
  933. * The following modules have been removed from core, because contributed
  934. modules with similar functionality are available:
  935. * Blog API module
  936. * Ping module
  937. * Throttle module
  938. - Improved node access control system.
  939. * All modules may now influence the access to a node at runtime, not just
  940. the module that defined a node.
  941. * Users may now be allowed to bypass node access restrictions without giving
  942. them complete access to the site.
  943. * Access control affects both published and unpublished nodes.
  944. * Numerous other improvements to the node access system.
  945. - Actions system
  946. * Simplified definitions of actions and triggers.
  947. * Removed dependency on the combination of hooks and operations. Triggers
  948. now directly map to module hooks.
  949. - Task handling
  950. * Added a queue API to process many or long-running tasks.
  951. * Added queue API support to cron API.
  952. * Added a locking framework to coordinate long-running operations across
  953. requests.

  1891. * Story sections can be maintained from the administration pages.
  1892. * Story sections make the open submission more adaptive in that you can set individual post, dump and expiration thresholds for each section according to the story type and urgency level: stories in certain sections do not "expire" and might stay interesting and active as time passes by, whereas news-related stories are only considered "hot" over a short period of time.

  1894. * You can set up multiple Drupal sites on top of the same physical source tree either by using vhosts or sub-directories.

  1901. - Added fine-grained user permission (or group) system:
  1902. * Users can be granted access to specific administration sections. Example: a FAQ maintainer can be given access to maintain the FAQ and translators can be given access to the translation pages.
