  58. which allows region name translations to be skipped when they are not needed
  59. (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2810365).
  60. - Numerous performance improvements.
  61. - Numerous bug fixes.
  62. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  63. - Additional automated test coverage.
  64. Drupal 7.50, 2016-07-07
  65. -----------------------
  66. - Added a new "administer fields" permission for trusted users, which is
  67. required in addition to other permissions to use the field UI
  68. (https://www.drupal.org/node/2483307).
  69. - Added clickjacking protection to Drupal core by setting the X-Frame-Options

  71. - Added support for full UTF-8 (emojis, Asian symbols, mathematical symbols) on
  72. MySQL and other database drivers when the site and database are configured to
  73. allow it (https://www.drupal.org/node/2761183).
  74. - Improved performance by avoiding a re-scan of directories when a file is
  75. missing; instead, trigger a PHP warning (minor API change:
  76. https://www.drupal.org/node/2581445).
  77. - Made it possible to use any PHP callable in Ajax form callbacks, form API
  78. form-building functions, and form API wrapper callbacks (API addition:
  79. https://www.drupal.org/node/2761169).
  80. - Fixed that following a password reset link while logged in leaves users unable
  81. to change their password (minor user interface change:
  82. https://www.drupal.org/node/2759023).
  83. - Implemented various fixes for automated test failures on PHP 5.4+ and PHP 7.
  84. Drupal core automated tests now pass in these environments.

  86. - Fixed various bugs with PHP 5.5+ imagerotate(), including when incorrect
  87. color indices are passed in.
  88. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.43 that allowed files uploaded by
  89. anonymous users to be lost after form validation errors, and that also caused
  90. regressions with certain contributed modules.
  91. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.36 which caused the default value
  92. of hidden textarea fields to be ignored.
  93. - Fixed robots.txt to allow search engines to access CSS, JavaScript and image
  94. files.
  95. - Changed wording on the Update Manager settings page to clarify that the
  96. option to check for disabled module updates also applies to uninstalled
  97. modules (administrative-facing translatable string change).
  98. - Changed the help text when editing menu links and configuring URL redirect
  99. actions so that it does not reference "Drupal" or the drupal.org website
  100. (administrative-facing translatable string change).

  102. safe to allow for tokens in the href/src attributes of translated strings.
  103. - Fixed that URL generation only works on port 80 when using domain based
  104. language negotation.
  105. - Made method="get" forms work inside the administrative overlay. The fix adds
  106. a new hidden field to these forms when they appear inside the overlay (minor

  109. menu link form from 128 to 255 characters.
  110. - Removed meaningless post-check=0 and pre-check=0 cache control headers from
  111. Drupal HTTP responses.

  128. large node IDs.
  129. - Added an explicit page callback to the "admin/people/create" menu item in the
  130. User module (minor data structure change). Previously this automatically
  131. inherited the page callback from the parent "admin/people" menu item, which
  132. broke contributed modules that override the "admin/people" page.
  133. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  134. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  135. - Additional automated test coverage.
  136. Drupal 7.44, 2016-06-15

  142. Drupal 7.42, 2016-02-03
  143. -----------------------
  144. - Stopped invoking hook_flush_caches() on every cron run, since some modules
  145. use that hook for expensive operations that are only needed on cache clears.
  146. - Changed the default .htaccess and web.config to block Composer-related files.
  147. - Added static caching to module_load_include() to improve performance.
  148. - Fixed double-encoding bugs in select field widgets provided by the Options
  149. module. The fix deprecates the 'strip_tags' property on option widgets and
  150. replaces it with a new 'strip_tags_and_unescape' property (minor data
  151. structure change).
  152. - Improved MySQL 5.7 support by changing the MySQL database driver to stop
  153. using the ANSI SQL mode alias, which has different meanings for different
  154. MySQL versions.
  155. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.39 which prevented autocomplete
  156. functionality from working on servers that are not configured to
  157. automatically recognize index.php.
  158. - Updated the Archive_Tar PEAR package to the latest 1.4.0 release, to fix bugs
  159. with tar file handling on various operating systems.
  160. - Fixed fatal errors on node preview when a field is displayed in the node
  161. teaser but hidden in the full node view. The fix removes a
  162. field_attach_prepare_view() call from the node_preview() function since it is
  163. redundant with one in the node preview theme layer.
  164. - Improved the description of the "Trimmed" format option on text fields
  165. (translatable string change, and minor UI and data structure change).
  166. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  167. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  168. - Additional automated test coverage.
  169. Drupal 7.41, 2015-10-21
  170. -----------------------
  171. - Fixed security issues (open redirect). See SA-CORE-2015-004.
  172. Drupal 7.40, 2015-10-14
  173. -----------------------
  174. - Made Drupal's code for parsing .info files run much faster and use much less
  175. memory.
  176. - Prevented drupal_http_request() from returning an error when it receives a
  177. 201 through 206 HTTP status code.
  178. - Added support for autoloading traits via the registry on sites running PHP
  179. 5.4 or higher.
  180. - Allowed the user-picture.tpl.php theme template to have HTML classes besides
  181. the default "user-picture" class printed in it (markup change).
  182. - Fixed the URL text filter to convert e-mail addresses with plus signs into
  183. mailto: links.
  184. - Added alternate text to file icons displayed by the File module, to improve
  185. accessibility (string change, and minor API addition to theme_file_icon()).
  186. - Changed one-time login link failure messages to be displayed as errors or
  187. warnings as appropriate, rather than as regular status messages (minor UI
  188. change and data structure change).
  189. - Changed the default settings.php configuration to exclude private files from
  190. the "404_fast_paths" behavior.
  191. - Changed the page that displays filter tips for a particular text format, for
  192. example filter/tips/full_html, to return "page not found" or "access denied"
  193. if the format does not exist or the user does not have access to it. This
  194. change adds a new menu item to the Filter module's hook_menu() entry (minor
  195. data structure change).
  196. - Added a new hook, hook_block_cid_parts_alter(), to allow modules to alter the
  197. cache keys used for caching a particular block.
  198. - Made drupal_set_message() display and return messages when "0" is passed in
  199. as the message to set.
  200. - Fixed non-functional "Files displayed by default" setting on file fields.
  201. - The "worker callback" provided in hook_cron_queue_info() and the "finished"
  202. callback specified during batch processing can now be any PHP callable
  203. instead of just functions.
  204. - Prevented drupal_set_time_limit() from decreasing the time limit in the case
  205. where the PHP maximum execution time is already unlimited.
  206. - Changed the default thousand marker for numeric fields from a space ("1 000")
  207. to nothing ("1000") (minor UI change: https://www.drupal.org/node/1388376).
  208. - Prevented malformed theme .info files (without a "name" key) from causing
  209. exceptions during menu rebuilds. If an .info file without a "name" key is
  210. found in a module or theme directory, Drupal will now use the module or
  211. theme's machine name as the display name instead.
  212. - Made the format column in the {date_format_locale} database table
  213. case-sensitive, to match the equivalent column in the {date_formats} table.
  214. - Fixed a bug in the Statistics module that caused JavaScript files attached to
  215. a node while it is being viewed to be omitted from the page.
  216. - Added an optional 'project:' prefix that can be added to dependencies in a
  217. module's .info file to indicate which project the dependency resides in (API
  218. addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2299747).
  219. - Fixed various bugs that occurred after hooks were invoked early in the Drupal
  220. bootstrap and that caused module_implements() and drupal_alter() to cache an
  221. incomplete set of hook implementations for later use.
  222. - Set the X-Content-Type-Options header to "nosniff" when possible, to prevent
  223. certain web browsers from picking an unsafe MIME type.
  224. - Prevented the database API from executing multiple queries at once on MySQL,
  225. if the site's PHP version is new enough to do so. This is a secondary defense
  226. against SQL injection (API change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2463973).
  227. - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused the upgrade
  228. to fail when there were multiple file records pointing to the same file.
  229. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  230. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  231. - Additional automated test coverage.
  232. Drupal 7.39, 2015-08-19
  233. -----------------------

  241. to become disabled if they were defined by a no-longer-enabled module.
  242. - Removed a confusing description regarding automatic time zone detection from
  243. the user account form (minor UI and data structure change).
  244. - Allowed custom HTML tags with a dash in the name to pass through filter_xss()
  245. when specified in the list of allowed tags.
  246. - Allowed hook_field_schema() implementations to specify indexes for fields
  247. based on a fixed-length column prefix (rather than the entire column), as was
  248. already allowed in hook_schema() implementations.
  249. - Fixed PDO exceptions on PostgreSQL when accessing invalid entity URLs.
  250. - Added a sites/all/libraries folder to the codebase, with instructions for
  251. using it.
  252. - Added a description to the "Administer text formats and filters" permission
  253. on the Permissions page (string change).
  254. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  255. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  256. - Additional automated test coverage.
  257. Drupal 7.36, 2015-04-01
  258. -----------------------
  259. - Added a 'file_public_schema' variable which allows modules that define
  260. publicly-accessible streams in hook_stream_wrappers() to bypass file download
  261. access checks when processing managed file upload fields.
  262. - Fixed a bug that caused database query tags not to be added to search-related
  263. database queries under many circumstances, and which prevented the
  264. corresponding hook_query_TAG_alter() implementations from being called.
  265. - Fixed the "for" attribute on managed file upload field labels to improve
  266. accessibility (minor markup change).
  267. - Added a 'javascript_always_use_jquery' variable which can be set to FALSE by
  268. sites that may not need jQuery loaded on all pages, and a 'requires_jquery'
  269. option to drupal_add_js() which modules can set to FALSE when adding
  270. JavaScript files that have no dependency on jQuery (API addition:
  271. https://www.drupal.org/node/2462717).
  272. - Fixed incorrect foreign keys in the User module's role_permission and
  273. users_roles database tables.
  274. - Changed permission descriptions throughout Drupal core to consistently link
  275. to relevant administrative pages, regardless of whether the user viewing the
  276. Permissions page can view the page being linked to (minor UI change).
  277. - Fixed the drupal_add_region_content() function so that it actually adds
  278. content to the page.
  279. - Added an 'image_suppress_itok_output' variable to allow sites already using
  280. the existing 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to also prevent
  281. security tokens from appearing in image derivative URLs.
  282. - Fixed double-escaping of theme names in the Block module administrative
  283. interface (minor string change).
  284. - Added basic support for Xdebug when running automated tests.
  285. - Fixed a bug which caused previewing a node to remove elements from the node
  286. being edited. With this fix, calling node_preview() will no longer modify the
  287. passed-in node object (minor API change).
  288. - Added a user_has_role() function to check whether a user has a particular
  289. role (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2462411).
  290. - Fixed installation failures when an opcode cache is enabled.
  291. - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused private
  292. files to be inaccessible.

  294. pictures to be lost.
  295. - Fixed missing language code in hook_field_attach_view_alter() when it is
  296. invoked from field_view_field().
  297. - Stopped sending ETag and Last-Modified headers for uncached page requests,
  298. since they break caching for certain Varnish and Nginx configurations.
  299. - Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-4 test classes to be used in
  300. Drupal 7.
  301. - Fixed a fatal error that occurred when using the Comment module's "Unpublish
  302. comment containing keyword(s)" action.
  303. - Changed the "lang" attribute on language links to "xml:lang" so it validates
  304. as XHTML (minor markup change).
  305. - Prevented the form API from allowing arrays to be submitted for various form
  306. elements, such as textfields, textareas, and password fields (API change:
  307. https://www.drupal.org/node/2462723).
  308. - Fixed a bug in the Contact module which caused the global user object to have
  309. the incorrect name and e-mail address during the remainder of the page
  310. request after the contact form is submitted.
  311. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  312. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  313. - Additional automated test coverage.
  314. Drupal 7.35, 2015-03-18

  319. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-006.
  320. Drupal 7.33, 2014-11-07
  321. -----------------------
  322. - Began storing the file modification time of each module and theme in the
  323. {system} database table so that contributed modules can use it to identify
  324. recently changed modules and themes (minor data structure change to the
  325. return value of system_get_info() and other related functions).
  326. - Added a "Did you mean?" feature to the run-tests.sh script for running
  327. automated tests from the command line, to help developers who are attempting
  328. to run a particular test class or group.
  329. - Changed the date format used in various HTTP headers output by Drupal core
  330. from RFC 1123 format to RFC 7231 format.
  331. - Added a "block_cache_bypass_node_grants" variable to allow sites which have
  332. node access modules enabled to use the block cache if desired (API addition).
  333. - Made image derivative generation HTTP requests return a 404 error (rather
  334. than a 500 error) when the source image does not exist.
  335. - Fixed a bug which caused user pictures to be removed from the user object
  336. after saving, and resulted in data loss if the user account was subsequently
  337. re-saved.
  338. - Fixed a bug in which field_has_data() did not return TRUE for fields that
  339. only had data in older entity revisions, leading to loss of the field's data
  340. when the field configuration was edited.
  341. - Fixed a bug which caused the Ajax progress throbber to appear misaligned in
  342. many situatons (minor styling change).
  343. - Prevented the Bartik theme from lower-casing the "Permalink" link on
  344. comments, for improved multilingual support (minor UI change).
  345. - Added a "preferred_menu_links" tag to the database query that is used by
  346. menu_link_get_preferred() to find the preferred menu link for a given path,
  347. to make it easier to alter.
  348. - Increased the maximum allowed length of block titles to 255 characters
  349. (database schema change to the {block} table).
  350. - Removed the Field module's field_modules_uninstalled() function, since it did
  351. not do anything when it was invoked.
  352. - Added a "theme_hook_original" variable to templates and theme functions and
  353. an optional sitewide theme debug mode, to provide contextual information in
  354. the page's HTML to theme developers. The theme debug mode is based on the one
  355. used with Twig in Drupal 8 and can be accessed by setting the "theme_debug"
  356. variable to TRUE (API addition).
  357. - Added an entity_view_mode_prepare() API function to allow entity-defining
  358. modules to properly invoke hook_entity_view_mode_alter(), and used it
  359. throughout Drupal core to fix bugs with the invocation of that hook (API
  360. change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2369141).
  361. - Security improvement: Made the database API's orderBy() method sanitize the
  362. sort direction ("ASC" or "DESC") for queries built with db_select(), so that
  363. calling code does not have to.
  364. - Changed the RDF module to consistently output RDF metadata for nodes and
  365. comments near where the node is rendered in the HTML (minor markup and data
  366. structure change).
  367. - Added an HTML class to RDFa metatags throughout Drupal to prevent them from
  368. accidentally affecting the site appearance (minor markup change).
  369. - Fixed a bug in the Unicode requirements check which prevented installing
  370. Drupal on PHP 5.6.
  371. - Fixed a bug which caused drupal_get_bootstrap_phase() to abort the bootstrap
  372. when called early in the page request.
  373. - Renamed the "Search result" view mode to "Search result highlighting input"
  374. to better reflect how it is used (UI change).
  375. - Improved database queries generated by EntityFieldQuery in the case where
  376. delta or language condition groups are used, to reduce the number of INNER
  377. JOINs (this is a minor data structure change affecting code which implements
  378. hook_query_alter() on these queries).
  379. - Removed special-case behavior for file uploads which allowed user #1 to
  380. bypass maximum file size and user quota limits.
  381. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  382. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  383. - Additional automated test coverage.

  390. Drupal 7.30, 2014-07-24
  391. -----------------------
  392. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.29 that caused files or images
  393. attached to taxonomy terms to be deleted when the taxonomy term was edited
  394. and resaved (and other related bugs with contributed and custom modules).
  395. - Added a warning on the permissions page to recommend restricting access to
  396. the "View site reports" permission to trusted administrators. See
  397. DRUPAL-PSA-2014-002.
  398. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  399. - Additional automated test coverage.
  400. Drupal 7.29, 2014-07-16
  401. -----------------------
  402. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-003.
  403. Drupal 7.28, 2014-05-08
  404. -----------------------
  405. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.27 that caused JavaScript to break
  406. on older browsers (such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier) when Ajax was
  407. used.
  408. - Increased the timeout used by the Update Manager module when it fetches data
  409. from drupal.org (from 5 seconds to 30 seconds), to work around a problem
  410. which causes incomplete information about security updates to be presented to
  411. site administrators. This fix may lead to a performance slowdown on the
  412. Update Manager administration pages, when installing Drupal distributions,
  413. and (for sites that use the automated cron feature) on occasional page loads
  414. by site visitors.
  415. - Fixed the behavior of the token system's "[node:summary]" token when the body
  416. field does not have a manual summary.
  417. - Changed the behavior of db_query_temporary() so that it works on SELECT
  418. queries even when they have leading comments/whitespace. A side effect of
  419. this fix is that db_query_temporary() will now fail with an error if it is
  420. ever used on non-SELECT queries.
  421. - Added a "node_admin_filter" tag to the database query used to build the list
  422. of nodes on the content administration page, to make it easier to alter.
  423. - Made the cron queue system log any exceptions that are thrown while an item
  424. in the queue is being processed, rather than stopping the entire PHP request.
  425. - Improved screen reader support by adding an aria-live HTML attribute to file
  426. upload fields when there is an error uploading the file (minor markup
  427. change).
  428. - Made the pager on the Tracker module listing pages show the same number of
  429. items as other pagers throughout Drupal core (minor UI change).
  430. - Fixed a bug which caused caches not to be properly cleared when a file entity
  431. was saved or deleted.
  432. - Added several missing countries to the default list returned by
  433. country_get_list() (string change).
  434. - Replaced the term "weight" with "influence" in the content ranking settings
  435. for search, and added help text for administrators (string change).
  436. - Fixed untranslatable text strings in the administrative interface for the
  437. "Crop" effect provided by the Image module (minor string change).
  438. - Fixed a bug in the Taxonomy module update function introduced in Drupal 7.26
  439. that caused memory and CPU problems on sites with very large numbers of
  440. unpublished nodes.
  441. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  442. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  443. - Additional automated test coverage.
  444. Drupal 7.27, 2014-04-16
  445. -----------------------
  446. - Fixed security issues (information disclosure). See SA-CORE-2014-002.
  447. Drupal 7.26, 2014-01-15
  448. -----------------------
  449. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-001.
  450. Drupal 7.25, 2014-01-02
  451. -----------------------
  452. - Fixed a bug in node_save() which prevented the saved node from being updated
  453. in hook_node_insert() and other similar hooks.
  454. - Added a meta tag to install.php to prevent it from being indexed by search
  455. engines even when Drupal is installed in a subfolder (minor markup change).
  456. - Fixed a bug in the database API that caused frequent deadlock errors when
  457. running merge queries on some servers.
  458. - Performance improvement: Prevented block rehashing from writing blocks to the
  459. database on every cache clear and cron run when the blocks have not changed.
  460. This fix results in an extra 'saved' key which is added and set to TRUE for
  461. each block returned by _block_rehash() that actually is saved to the database
  462. (data structure change).
  463. - Added an optional 'skip on cron' parameter to hook_cron_queue_info() to allow
  464. queues to avoid being automatically processed on cron runs (API addition).
  465. - Fixed a bug which caused hook_block_view_MODULE_DELTA_alter() to never be
  466. invoked if the block delta had a hyphen in it. To implement the hook when the
  467. block delta has a hyphen, modules should now replace hyphens with underscores
  468. when constructing the function name for the hook implementation.
  469. - Fixed a bug which caused cached pages to sometimes be sent to the browser
  470. with incorrect compression. The fix adds a new 'page_compressed' key to the
  471. $cache->data array returned by drupal_page_get_cache() (minor data structure
  472. change).
  473. - Fixed broken tests on PHP 5.5.
  474. - Made the File and Image modules more robust when saving entities that have
  475. deleted files attached. The code in file_field_presave() will now remove the
  476. record of the deleted file from the entity before saving (minor data
  477. structure change).
  478. - Standardized menu callback functions throughout Drupal core to return
  479. MENU_NOT_FOUND and MENU_ACCESS_DENIED rather than printing their own "page
  480. not found" or "access denied" pages (minor API change in the return value of
  481. these functions under some circumstances).
  482. - Fixed a bug in which caches were not properly cleared when a node was deleted
  483. via the administrative interface.
  484. - Changed the Bartik theme to render content contained in <pre>, <code> and
  485. similar tags in a larger font size, so it is easier to read.
  486. - Fixed a bug in the Search module that caused exceptions to be thrown during
  487. searches if the server was not configured to represent decimal points as a
  488. period.
  489. - Fixed a regression in the Image module that made image_style_url() not work
  490. when a relative path (rather than a complete file URI) was passed to it.
  491. - Added an optional feature to the Statistics module to allow node views to be
  492. tracked by Ajax requests rather than during the server-side generation of the
  493. page. This allows the node counter to work on sites that use external page
  494. caches (string change and new administrative option:
  495. https://drupal.org/node/2164069).
  496. - Added a link to the drupal.org documentation page for cron to the Cron
  497. settings page (string change).
  498. - Added a 'drupal_anonymous_user_object' variable to allow the anonymous user
  499. object returned by drupal_anonymous_user() to be overridden with a classed
  500. object (API addition).
  501. - Changed the database API to allow inserts based on a SELECT * query to work
  502. correctly.
  503. - Changed the database schema of the {file_managed} table to allow Drupal to
  504. manage files larger than 4 GB.
  505. - Changed the File module's hook_field_load() implementation to prevent file
  506. entity properties which have the same name as file or image field properties
  507. from overwriting the field properties (minor API change).
  508. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  509. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  510. - Additional automated test coverage.
  511. Drupal 7.24, 2013-11-20
  512. -----------------------
  513. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities), see SA-CORE-2013-003.
  514. Drupal 7.23, 2013-08-07
  515. -----------------------
  516. - Fixed a fatal error on PostgreSQL databases when updating the Taxonomy module
  517. from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.
  518. - Fixed the default ordering of CSS files for sites using right-to-left
  519. languages, to consistently place the right-to-left override file immediately
  520. after the CSS it is overriding (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058463).
  521. - Added a drupal_check_memory_limit() API function to allow the memory limit to
  522. be checked consistently (API addition).
  523. - Changed the default web.config file for IIS servers to allow favicon.ico
  524. files which are present in the filesystem to be accessed.
  525. - Fixed inconsistent support for the 'tel' protocol in Drupal's URL filtering
  526. functions.
  527. - Performance improvement: Allowed all hooks to be included in the
  528. module_implements() cache, even those that are only invoked on HTTP POST
  529. requests.
  530. - Made the database system replace truncate queries with delete queries when
  531. inside a transaction, to fix issues with PostgreSQL and other databases.
  532. - Fixed a bug which caused nested contextual links to display improperly.
  533. - Fixed a bug which prevented cached image derivatives from being flushed for
  534. private files and other non-default file schemes.
  535. - Fixed drupal_render() to always return an empty string when there is no
  536. output, rather than sometimes returning NULL (minor API change).
  537. - Added protection to cache_clear_all() to ensure that non-cache tables cannot
  538. be truncated (API addition: a new isValidBin() method has been added to the
  539. default database cache implementation).
  540. - Changed the default .htaccess file to support HTTP authorization in CGI
  541. environments.
  542. - Changed the password reset form to pre-fill the username when requested via a
  543. URL query parameter, and used this in the error message that appears after a
  544. failed login attempt (minor data structure and behavior change).
  545. - Fixed broken support for foreign keys in the field API.
  546. - Fixed "No active batch" error when a user cancels their own account.
  547. - Added a description to the "access content overview" permission on the
  548. permissions page (string change).
  549. - Added a drupal_array_diff_assoc_recursive() function to allow associative
  550. arrays to be compared recursively (API addition).
  551. - Added human-readable labels to image styles, in addition to the existing
  552. machine-readable name (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058503).
  553. - Moved the drupal_get_hash_salt() function to bootstrap.inc and used it in
  554. additional places in the code, for added security in the case where there is
  555. no hash salt in settings.php.
  556. - Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.22 that caused internal server errors for
  557. sites running on very old Apache 1.x web servers.
  558. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  559. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  560. - Additional automated test coverage.
  561. Drupal 7.22, 2013-04-03
  562. -----------------------
  563. - Allowed the drupal_http_request() function to be overridden so that
  564. additional HTTP request capabilities can be added by contributed modules.
  565. - Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-0 test classes to be used in
  566. Drupal 7.
  567. - Removed an unnecessary "Content-Disposition" header from private file
  568. downloads; it prevented many private files from being viewed inline in a web
  569. browser.
  570. - Changed various field API functions to allow them to optionally act on a
  571. single field within an entity (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1825844).
  572. - Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal's file transfer functionality from working
  573. on some PHP 5.4 systems.
  574. - Fixed incorrect log message when theme() is called for a theme hook that does
  575. not exist (minor string change).
  576. - Fixed Drupal's token-replacement system to allow spaces in the token value.
  577. - Changed the default behavior after a user creates a node they do not have
  578. access to view. The user will now be redirected to the front page rather than
  579. an access denied page.
  580. - Fixed a bug which prevented empty HTTP headers (such as "0") from being set.
  581. (Minor behavior change: Callers of drupal_add_http_header() must now set
  582. FALSE explicitly to prevent a header from being sent at all; this was already
  583. indicated in the function's documentation.)
  584. - Fixed OpenID errors when more than one module implements hook_openid(). The
  585. behavior is now changed so that if more than one module tries to set the same
  586. parameter, the last module's change takes effect.
  587. - Fixed a serious documentation bug: The $name variable in the
  588. taxonomy-term.tpl.php theme template was incorrectly documented as being
  589. sanitized when in fact it is not.
  590. - Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
  591. duplicate permission names in the User module's database tables.
  592. - Added an empty "datatype" attribute to taxonomy term and username links to
  593. make the RDFa markup upward compatible with RDFa 1.1 (minor markup addition).
  594. - Fixed a bug which caused the denial-of-service protection added in Drupal
  595. 7.20 to break certain valid image URLs that had an extra slash in them.
  596. - Fixed a bug with update queries in the SQLite database driver that prevented
  597. Drupal from being installed with SQLite on PHP 5.4.
  598. - Fixed enforced dependencies errors updating to recent versions of Drupal 7 on
  599. certain non-MySQL databases.
  600. - Refactored the Field module's caching behavior to obtain large improvements
  601. in memory usage for sites with many fields and instances (API addition:
  602. http://drupal.org/node/1915646).
  603. - Fixed entity argument not being passed to implementations of
  604. hook_file_download_access_alter(). The fix adds an additional context
  605. parameter that can be passed when calling drupal_alter() for any hook (API
  606. change: http://drupal.org/node/1882722).
  607. - Fixed broken support for translatable comment fields (API change:
  608. http://drupal.org/node/1874724).
  609. - Added an assertThemeOutput() method to Simpletest to allow tests to check
  610. that themed output matches an expected HTML string (API addition).
  611. - Added a link to "Install another module" after a module has been successfully
  612. downloaded via the Update Manager (UI change).
  613. - Added an optional "exclusive" flag to installation profile .info files which
  614. allows Drupal distributions to force a profile to be selected during
  615. installation (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1961012).
  616. - Fixed a bug which caused the database API to not properly close database
  617. connections.
  618. - Added a link to the URL for running cron from outside the site to the Cron
  619. settings page (UI change).
  620. - Fixed a bug which prevented image styles from being reverted on PHP 5.4.
  621. - Made the default .htaccess rules protocol sensitive to improve security for
  622. sites which use HTTPS and redirect between "www" and non-"www" versions of
  623. the page.
  624. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  625. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  626. - Additional automated test coverage.
  627. Drupal 7.21, 2013-03-06
  628. -----------------------
  629. - Allowed sites using the 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to still
  630. have partial protection from the security issues fixed in Drupal 7.20.
  631. Drupal 7.20, 2013-02-20
  632. -----------------------
  633. - Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2013-002.
  634. Drupal 7.19, 2013-01-16
  635. -----------------------
  636. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2013-001.

  641. -----------------------
  642. - Changed the default value of the '404_fast_html' variable to have a DOCTYPE
  643. declaration.
  644. - Made it possible to use associative arrays for the 'items' variable in
  645. theme_item_list().
  646. - Fixed a bug which prevented required form elements without a title from being
  647. given an "error" class when the form fails validation.
  648. - Prevented duplicate HTML IDs from appearing when two forms are displayed on
  649. the same page and one of them is submitted with invalid data (minor markup
  650. change).
  651. - Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
  652. stale data in the Upload module's database tables.
  653. - Fixed a bug in the States API which prevented certain types of form elements
  654. from being disabled when requested.
  655. - Allowed aggregator feed items with author names longer than 255 characters to
  656. have a truncated version saved to the database (rather than causing a fatal
  657. error).
  658. - Allowed aggregator feed items to have URLs longer than 255 characters
  659. (schema change which results in several columns in the Aggregator module's
  660. database tables changing from VARCHAR to TEXT fields).
  661. - Added hook_taxonomy_term_view() and standardized the process for rendering
  662. taxonomy terms to invoke hook_entity_view() and otherwise make it consistent
  663. with other entities (API change: http://drupal.org/node/1808870).
  664. - Added hook_entity_view_mode_alter() to allow modules to change entity view
  665. modes on display (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1833086).
  666. - Fixed a bug which made database queries running a "LIKE" query on blob fields
  667. fail on PostgreSQL databases. This caused errors during the Drupal 6 to
  668. Drupal 7 upgrade.
  669. - Changed the hook_menu() entry for Drupal's rss.xml page to prevent extra path
  670. components from being accidentally passed to the page callback function (data
  671. structure change).
  672. - Removed a non-standard "name" attribute from Drupal's default Content-Type
  673. header for file downloads.
  674. - Fixed the theme settings form to properly clean up submitted values in
  675. $form_state['values'] when the form is submitted (data structure change).
  676. - Fixed an inconsistency by removing the colon from the end of the label on
  677. multi-valued form fields (minor string change).
  678. - Added support for 'weight' in hook_field_widget_info() to allow modules to
  679. control the order in which widgets are displayed in the Field UI.
  680. - Updated various tables in the OpenID and Book modules to use the default
  681. "empty table" text pattern (string change).
  682. - Added proxy server support to drupal_http_request().
  683. - Added "lang" attributes to language links, to better support screen readers.
  684. - Fixed double occurrence of a "ul" HTML tag on secondary local tasks in the
  685. Seven theme (markup change).
  686. - Fixed bugs which caused taxonomy vocabulary and shortcut set titles to be
  687. double-escaped. The fix replaces the taxonomy vocabulary overview page and
  688. "Edit shortcuts" menu items' title callback entries in hook_menu() with new
  689. functions that do not escape HTML characters (data structure change).
  690. - Modified the Update manager module to allow drupal.org to collect usage
  691. statistics for individual modules and themes, rather than only for entire
  692. projects.
  693. - Modified the node listing database query on Drupal's default front page to
  694. add table aliases for better query altering (this is a data structure change
  695. affecting code which implements hook_query_alter() on this query).
  696. - Improved the translatability of the "Field type(s) in use" message on the
  697. modules page (admin-facing string change).
  698. - Fixed a regression which caused a "call to undefined function
  699. drupal_find_base_themes()" fatal error under rare circumstances.
  700. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  701. - Additional automated test coverage.
  702. Drupal 7.16, 2012-10-17
  703. -----------------------
  704. - Fixed security issues (Arbitrary PHP code execution and information
  705. disclosure). See SA-CORE-2012-003.
  706. Drupal 7.15, 2012-08-01
  707. -----------------------
  708. - Introduced a 'user_password_reset_timeout' variable to allow the 24-hour
  709. expiration for user password reset links to be adjusted (API addition).
  710. - Fixed database errors due to ambiguous column names that occurred when
  711. EntityFieldQuery was used in certain situations.
  712. - Changed the drupal_array_get_nested_value() function to return a reference
  713. (API addition).
  714. - Changed the System module's hook_block_info() implementation to assign the
  715. "Main page content" and "System help" blocks to appropriate regions by
  716. default and prevent error messages on the block administration page (data
  717. structure change).
  718. - Fixed regression: Non-node entities couldn't be accessed with
  719. EntityFieldQuery.
  720. - Fixed regression: Optional radio buttons with an empty, non-NULL default
  721. value led to an illegal choice error when none were selected.
  722. - Reorganized the testing framework to split setUp() into specific sub-methods
  723. and fix several regressions in the process.
  724. - Fixed bug which made it impossible to search for strings that have not been
  725. translated into a particular language.
  726. - Renamed the "Field" column on the Manage Fields screen to "Field type", since
  727. the former was confusing and inaccurate (UI change).
  728. - Performance improvement: Removed needless call to system_rebuild_module_data()
  729. in field_sync_field_status(), greatly speeding up bulk module enable/disable.
  730. - Fixed bug which prevented notifications from being sent when core, module, and
  731. theme updates are available.
  732. - Fixed bug which prevented sub-themes from inheriting the default values of
  733. theme settings defined by the base theme.
  734. - Fixed bug which prevented the jQuery UI Datepicker from being localized.
  735. - Made Ajax alert dialogs respect error reporting settings.
  736. - Fixed bug which prevented image styles from being deleted on PHP 5.4.
  737. - Fixed bug: Language detection by domain only worked on port 80.
  738. - Fixed regression: The first plural index on a page was not calculated
  739. correctly.
  740. - Introduced generic entity language support. Entities may now declare their
  741. language property in hook_entity_info(), and modules working with entities
  742. may access the language using entity_language() (API change:
  743. http://drupal.org/node/1626346).
  744. - Added EntityFieldQuery support for taxonomy bundles.
  745. - Fixed issue where field form structure was incomplete if field_access()
  746. returned FALSE. Instead of being incomplete, the form structure now has
  747. #access set to FALSE and field form validation is skipped (data structure
  748. change: http://drupal.org/node/1663020).
  749. - Fixed data loss issue due to field_has_data() returning inconsistent results.
  750. The fix adds an optional DANGEROUS_ACCESS_CHECK_OPT_OUT tag to entity field
  751. queries which field storage engines can respond to (API addition:
  752. http://drupal.org/node/1597378).
  753. - Fixed notice: Undefined index: default_image in image_field_prepare_view()
  754. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  755. - Additional automated test coverage.
  756. Drupal 7.14, 2012-05-02
  757. -----------------------
  758. - Fixed "integrity constraint" fatal errors when rebuilding registry.
  759. - Fixed custom logo and favicon functionality referencing incorrect paths.
  760. - Fixed DB Case Sensitivity: Allow BINARY attribute in MySQL.
  761. - Split field_bundle_settings out per bundle.
  762. - Improve UX for machine names for fields (UI change).
  763. - Fixed User pictures are not removed properly.
  764. - Fixed HTTPS sessions not working in all cases.
  765. - Fixed Regression: Required radios throw illegal choice error when none
  766. selected.
  767. - Fixed allow autocompletion requests to include slashes.
  768. - Eliminate $user->cache and {session}.cache in favor of
  769. $_SESSION['cache_expiration'][$bin] (Performance).
  770. - Fixed focus jumps to tab when pressing enter on a form element within tab.
  771. - Fixed race condition in locale() - duplicates in {locales_source}.
  772. - Fixed Missing "Default image" per field instance.
  773. - Quit clobbering people's work when they click the filter tips link
  774. - Form API #states: Fix conditionals to allow OR and XOR constructions.
  775. - Fixed Focus jumps to tab when pressing enter on a form element within tab.
  776. (Accessibility)
  777. - Improved performance of node_access queries.
  778. - Fixed Fieldsets inside vertical tabs have no title and can't be collapsed.
  779. - Reduce size of cache_menu table (Performance).
  780. - Fixed unnecessary aggregation of CSS/JS (Performance).
  781. - Fixed taxonomy_autocomplete() produces SQL error for nonexistent field.
  782. - Fixed HTML filter is not run first by default, despite default weight.
  783. - Fixed Overlay does not work with prefixed URL paths.
  784. - Better debug info for field errors (string change).

  967. Drupal 7.0, 2011-01-05
  968. ----------------------
  969. - Database:
  970. * Fully rewritten database layer utilizing PHP 5's PDO abstraction layer.
  971. * Drupal now requires MySQL >= 5.0.15 or PostgreSQL >= 8.3.
  972. * Added query builders for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, and SELECT queries.
  973. * Support for master/slave replication, transactions, multi-insert queries,

  983. improved the flood control API to allow variable time windows and
  984. identifiers for limiting user access to resources.
  985. * Transformed the "Update status" module into the "Update manager" which
  986. can securely install or update modules and themes via a web interface.
  987. - Usability:
  988. * Added contextual links (a.k.a. local tasks) to page elements, such as
  989. blocks, nodes, or comments, which allows to perform the most common tasks
  990. with a single click only.

  998. * Removed display order settings for comment module. Comment display
  999. order can now be customized using the Views module.
  1000. * Removed the 'related terms' feature from taxonomy module since this can
  1001. now be achieved with Field API.
  1002. * Added additional features to the default installation profile, and
  1003. implemented a "slimmed down" profile designed for developers.
  1004. * Added a built-in, automated cron run feature, which is triggered by site
  1005. visitors.
  1006. * Added an administrator role which is assigned all permissions for
  1007. installed modules automatically.
  1008. * Image toolkits are now provided by modules (rather than requiring a

  1018. automatic summaries and increases usability.
  1019. * Replaced fieldsets on node edit and add pages with vertical tabs.
  1020. - Performance:
  1021. * Improved performance on uncached page views by loading multiple core
  1022. objects in a single database query.
  1023. * Improved performance for logged-in users by reducing queries for path
  1024. alias lookups.
  1025. * Improved support for HTTP proxies (including reverse proxies), allowing
  1026. anonymous page views to be served entirely from the proxy.
  1027. - Documentation:
  1028. * Hook API documentation now included in Drupal core.
  1029. - News aggregator:
  1030. * Added OPML import functionality for RSS feeds.
  1031. * Optionally, RSS feeds may be configured to not automatically generate feed blocks.
  1032. - Search:
  1033. * Added support for language-aware searches.
  1034. - Aggregator:
  1035. * Introduced architecture that allows pluggable parsers and processors for
  1036. syndicating RSS and Atom feeds.
  1037. * Added options to suspend updating specific feeds and never discard feeds
  1038. items.
  1039. - Testing:
  1040. * Added test framework and tests.
  1041. - Improved time zone support:
  1042. * Drupal now uses PHP's time zone database when rendering dates in local
  1043. time. Site-wide and user-configured time zone offsets have been converted
  1044. to time zone names, e.g. Africa/Abidjan.
  1045. * In some cases the upgrade and install scripts do not choose the preferred
  1046. site default time zone. The automatically-selected time zone can be
  1047. corrected at admin/config/regional/settings.
  1048. * If your site is being upgraded from Drupal 6 and you do not have the
  1049. contributed date or event modules installed, user time zone settings will
  1050. fallback to the system time zone and will have to be reconfigured by each user.
  1051. * User-configured time zones now serve as the default time zone for PHP
  1052. date/time functions.
  1053. - Filter system:
  1054. * Revamped the filter API and text format storage.
  1055. * Added support for default text formats to be assigned on a per-role basis.
  1056. * Refactored the HTML corrector to take advantage of PHP 5 features.
  1057. - User system:
  1058. * Added clean API functions for creating, loading, updating, and deleting
  1059. user roles and permissions.
  1060. * Refactored the "access rules" component of user module: The user module
  1061. now provides a simple interface for blocking single IP addresses. The
  1062. previous functionality in the user module for restricting certain e-mail
  1063. addresses and usernames is now available as a contributed module. Further,
  1064. IP address range blocking is no longer supported and should be implemented
  1065. at the operating system level.
  1066. * Removed per-user themes: Contributed modules with similar functionality
  1067. are available.
  1068. - OpenID:
  1069. * Added support for Gmail and Google Apps for Domain identifiers. Users can
  1070. now login with their user@example.com identifier when example.com is powered
  1071. by Google.
  1072. * Made the OpenID module more pluggable.
  1073. - Added code registry:
  1074. * Using the registry, modules declare their includable files via their .info file,
  1075. allowing Drupal to lazy-load classes and interfaces as needed.
  1076. - Theme system:
  1077. * Removed the Bluemarine, Chameleon and Pushbutton themes. These themes live
  1078. on as contributed themes (http://drupal.org/project/bluemarine,
  1079. http://drupal.org/project/chameleon and http://drupal.org/project/pushbutton).
  1080. * Added Stark theme to make analyzing Drupal's default HTML and CSS easier.
  1081. * Added Seven as the default administration theme.
  1082. * Variable preprocessing of theme hooks prior to template rendering now goes
  1083. through two phases: a 'preprocess' phase and a new 'process' phase. See
  1084. http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
  1085. * Theme hooks implemented as functions (rather than as templates) can now
  1086. also have preprocess (and process) functions. See
  1087. http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
  1088. * Added Bartik as the default theme.
  1089. - File handling:
  1090. * Files are now first class Drupal objects with file_load(), file_save(),
  1091. and file_validate() functions and corresponding hooks.
  1092. * The file_move(), file_copy() and file_delete() functions now operate on
  1093. file objects and invoke file hooks so that modules are notified and can
  1094. respond to changes.
  1095. * For the occasions when only basic file manipulation are needed--such as
  1096. uploading a site logo--that don't require the overhead of databases and
  1097. hooks, the current unmanaged copy, move and delete operations have been
  1098. preserved but renamed to file_unmanaged_*().
  1099. * Rewrote file handling to use PHP stream wrappers to enable support for
  1100. both public and private files and to support pluggable storage mechanisms
  1101. and access to remote resources (e.g. S3 storage or Flickr photos).
  1102. * The mime_extension_mapping variable has been removed. Modules that need to
  1103. alter the default MIME type extension mappings should implement
  1104. hook_file_mimetype_mapping_alter().
  1105. * Added the hook_file_url_alter() hook, which makes it possible to serve
  1106. files from a CDN.
  1107. * Added a field specifically for uploading files, previously provided by
  1108. the contributed module FileField.
  1109. - Image handling:
  1110. * Improved image handling, including better support for add-on image
  1111. libraries.
  1112. * Added API and interface for creating advanced image thumbnails.
  1113. * Inclusion of additional effects such as rotate and desaturate.
  1114. * Added a field specifically for uploading images, previously provided by
  1115. the contributed module ImageField.
  1116. - Added aliased multi-site support:
  1117. * Added support for mapping domain names to sites directories.
  1118. - Added RDF support:
  1119. * Modules can declare RDF namespaces which are serialized in the <html> tag
  1120. for RDFa support.
  1121. * Modules can specify how their data structure maps to RDF.
  1122. * Added support for RDFa export of nodes, comments, terms, users, etc. and
  1123. their fields.
  1124. - Search engine optimization and web linking:
  1125. * Added a rel="canonical" link on node and comment pages to prevent
  1126. duplicate content indexing by search engines.
  1127. * Added a default rel="shortlink" link on node and comment pages that
  1128. advertises a short link as an alternative URL to third-party services.
  1129. * Meta information is now alterable by all modules before rendering.
  1130. - Field API:
  1131. * Custom data fields may be attached to nodes, users, comments and taxonomy
  1132. terms.
  1133. * Node bodies and teasers are now Field API fields instead of
  1134. being a hard-coded property of node objects.
  1135. * In addition, any other object type may register with Field API
  1136. and allow custom data fields to be attached to itself.
  1137. * Provides most of the features of the former Content Construction
  1138. Kit (CCK) module.
  1139. * Taxonomy terms are now Field API fields that can be added to any fieldable
  1140. object.
  1141. - Installer:
  1142. * Refactored the installer into an API that allows Drupal to be installed
  1143. via a command line script.
  1144. - Page organization
  1145. * Made the help text area a full featured region with blocks.
  1146. * Site mission is replaced with the highlighted content block region and
  1147. separate RSS feed description settings.
  1148. * The footer message setting was removed in favor of custom blocks.
  1149. * Made the main page content a block which can be moved and ordered
  1150. with other blocks in the same region.
  1151. * Blocks can now return structured arrays for later rendering just
  1152. like page callbacks.
  1153. - Translation system
  1154. * The translation system now supports message context (msgctxt).
  1155. * Added support for translatable fields to Field API.
  1156. - JavaScript changes
  1157. * Upgraded the core JavaScript library to jQuery version 1.4.4.
  1158. * Upgraded the jQuery Forms library to 2.52.
  1159. * Added jQuery UI 1.8.7, which allows improvements to Drupal's user
  1160. experience.
  1161. - Better module version support
  1162. * Modules now can specify which version of another module they depend on.
  1163. - Removed modules from core
  1164. * The following modules have been removed from core, because contributed
  1165. modules with similar functionality are available:
  1166. * Blog API module
  1167. * Ping module
  1168. * Throttle module
  1169. - Improved node access control system.
  1170. * All modules may now influence the access to a node at runtime, not just
  1171. the module that defined a node.
  1172. * Users may now be allowed to bypass node access restrictions without giving
  1173. them complete access to the site.
  1174. * Access control affects both published and unpublished nodes.
  1175. * Numerous other improvements to the node access system.
  1176. - Actions system
  1177. * Simplified definitions of actions and triggers.
  1178. * Removed dependency on the combination of hooks and operations. Triggers
  1179. now directly map to module hooks.
  1180. - Task handling
  1181. * Added a queue API to process many or long-running tasks.
  1182. * Added queue API support to cron API.
  1183. * Added a locking framework to coordinate long-running operations across
  1184. requests.

  2054. ------------------------
  2055. - Major overhaul of the entire underlying design:
  2056. * Everything is based on nodes: nodes are a conceptual "black box" to couple and manage different types of content and that promotes reusing existing code, thus reducing the complexity and size of Drupal as well as improving long-term stability.
  2057. - Rewrote submission/moderation queue and renamed it to queue.module.
  2058. - Removed FAQ and documentation module and merged them into a "book module".

  2066. * Supports unlimited amount of nested topics. Topics can be nested to create a multi-level hierarchy.
  2067. - Rewrote configuration file resolving:
  2068. * Drupal tries to locate a configuration file that matches your domain name or uses conf.php if the former failed. Note also that the configuration files got renamed from .conf to .php for security's sake on mal-configured Drupal sites.
  2069. - Added caching support which makes Drupal extremely scalable.
  2070. - Added access.module:
  2071. * Allows you to set up 'roles' (groups) and to bind a set of permissions to each group.

  2091. - Removed module.module as it was no longer needed.
  2092. - Various updates:
  2093. * Added "auto-post new submissions" feature versus "moderate new submissions".
  2094. * Introduced links/Drupal tags: [[link]]
  2095. * Added preview functionality when submitting new content (such as a story) from the administration pages.
  2096. * Made the administration section only show those links a user has access to.
  2097. * Made all modules use specific form_* functions to guarantee a rock-solid forms and more consistent layout.
  2098. * Improved scheduler:
  2099. + Content can be scheduled to be 'posted', 'queued' and 'hidden'.

  2115. Drupal 2.0.0, 2001-03-15
  2116. ------------------------
  2117. - Rewrote the comment/discussion code:
  2118. * Comment navigation should be less confusing now.
  2119. * Additional/alternative display and order methods have been added.
  2120. * Modules can be extended with a "comment system": modules can embed the existing comment system without having to write their own, duplicate comment system.
  2121. - Added sections and section manager:
  2122. * Story sections can be maintained from the administration pages.
  2123. * 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.
  2124. - Multiple vhosts + multiple directories:
  2125. * You can set up multiple Drupal sites on top of the same physical source tree either by using vhosts or sub-directories.
  2126. - Added "user ratings" similar to SlashCode's Karma or Scoop's Mojo:
  2127. * All rating logic is packed into a module to ease experimenting with different rating heuristics/algorithms.
  2128. - Added "search infrastructure":
  2129. * Improved search page and integrated search functionality in the administration pages.
  2130. - Added translation / localization / internationalization support:
  2131. * Because many people would love to see their website showing a lot less of English, and far more of their own language, Drupal provides a framework to set up a multi-lingual website or to overwrite the default English text in English.
  2132. - Added fine-grained user permission (or group) system:
  2133. * 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.
  2134. - Added FAQ module
  2135. - Changed the "open submission queue" into a (optional) module.
  2136. - Various updates:
