  1. Drupal 7.43, 2016-02-24
  2. -----------------------
  3. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2016-001.
  4. Drupal 7.42, 2016-02-03
  5. -----------------------
  6. - Stopped invoking hook_flush_caches() on every cron run, since some modules
  7. use that hook for expensive operations that are only needed on cache clears.
  8. - Changed the default .htaccess and web.config to block Composer-related files.
  9. - Added static caching to module_load_include() to improve performance.
  10. - Fixed double-encoding bugs in select field widgets provided by the Options
  11. module. The fix deprecates the 'strip_tags' property on option widgets and
  12. replaces it with a new 'strip_tags_and_unescape' property (minor data
  13. structure change).
  14. - Improved MySQL 5.7 support by changing the MySQL database driver to stop
  15. using the ANSI SQL mode alias, which has different meanings for different
  16. MySQL versions.
  17. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.39 which prevented autocomplete
  18. functionality from working on servers that are not configured to
  19. automatically recognize index.php.
  20. - Updated the Archive_Tar PEAR package to the latest 1.4.0 release, to fix bugs
  21. with tar file handling on various operating systems.
  22. - Fixed fatal errors on node preview when a field is displayed in the node
  23. teaser but hidden in the full node view. The fix removes a
  24. field_attach_prepare_view() call from the node_preview() function since it is
  25. redundant with one in the node preview theme layer.
  26. - Improved the description of the "Trimmed" format option on text fields
  27. (translatable string change, and minor UI and data structure change).
  28. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  29. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  30. - Additional automated test coverage.
  31. Drupal 7.41, 2015-10-21
  32. -----------------------
  33. - Fixed security issues (open redirect). See SA-CORE-2015-004.
  34. Drupal 7.40, 2015-10-14
  35. -----------------------
  36. - Made Drupal's code for parsing .info files run much faster and use much less
  37. memory.
  38. - Prevented drupal_http_request() from returning an error when it receives a
  39. 201 through 206 HTTP status code.
  40. - Added support for autoloading traits via the registry on sites running PHP
  41. 5.4 or higher.
  42. - Allowed the user-picture.tpl.php theme template to have HTML classes besides
  43. the default "user-picture" class printed in it (markup change).
  44. - Fixed the URL text filter to convert e-mail addresses with plus signs into
  45. mailto: links.
  46. - Added alternate text to file icons displayed by the File module, to improve
  47. accessibility (string change, and minor API addition to theme_file_icon()).
  48. - Changed one-time login link failure messages to be displayed as errors or
  49. warnings as appropriate, rather than as regular status messages (minor UI
  50. change and data structure change).
  51. - Changed the default settings.php configuration to exclude private files from
  52. the "404_fast_paths" behavior.
  53. - Changed the page that displays filter tips for a particular text format, for
  54. example filter/tips/full_html, to return "page not found" or "access denied"
  55. if the format does not exist or the user does not have access to it. This
  56. change adds a new menu item to the Filter module's hook_menu() entry (minor
  57. data structure change).
  58. - Added a new hook, hook_block_cid_parts_alter(), to allow modules to alter the
  59. cache keys used for caching a particular block.
  60. - Made drupal_set_message() display and return messages when "0" is passed in
  61. as the message to set.
  62. - Fixed non-functional "Files displayed by default" setting on file fields.
  63. - The "worker callback" provided in hook_cron_queue_info() and the "finished"
  64. callback specified during batch processing can now be any PHP callable
  65. instead of just functions.
  66. - Prevented drupal_set_time_limit() from decreasing the time limit in the case
  67. where the PHP maximum execution time is already unlimited.
  68. - Changed the default thousand marker for numeric fields from a space ("1 000")
  69. to nothing ("1000") (minor UI change: https://www.drupal.org/node/1388376).
  70. - Prevented malformed theme .info files (without a "name" key) from causing
  71. exceptions during menu rebuilds. If an .info file without a "name" key is
  72. found in a module or theme directory, Drupal will now use the module or
  73. theme's machine name as the display name instead.
  74. - Made the format column in the {date_format_locale} database table
  75. case-sensitive, to match the equivalent column in the {date_formats} table.
  76. - Fixed a bug in the Statistics module that caused JavaScript files attached to
  77. a node while it is being viewed to be omitted from the page.
  78. - Added an optional 'project:' prefix that can be added to dependencies in a
  79. module's .info file to indicate which project the dependency resides in (API
  80. addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2299747).
  81. - Fixed various bugs that occurred after hooks were invoked early in the Drupal
  82. bootstrap and that caused module_implements() and drupal_alter() to cache an
  83. incomplete set of hook implementations for later use.
  84. - Set the X-Content-Type-Options header to "nosniff" when possible, to prevent
  85. certain web browsers from picking an unsafe MIME type.
  86. - Prevented the database API from executing multiple queries at once on MySQL,
  87. if the site's PHP version is new enough to do so. This is a secondary defense
  88. against SQL injection (API change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2463973).
  89. - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused the upgrade
  90. to fail when there were multiple file records pointing to the same file.
  91. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  92. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  93. - Additional automated test coverage.
  94. Drupal 7.39, 2015-08-19
  95. -----------------------
  96. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-003.
  97. Drupal 7.38, 2015-06-17
  98. -----------------------
  99. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-002.
  100. Drupal 7.37, 2015-05-07
  101. -----------------------
  102. - Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.36 which caused certain kinds of content types
  103. to become disabled if they were defined by a no-longer-enabled module.
  104. - Removed a confusing description regarding automatic time zone detection from
  105. the user account form (minor UI and data structure change).
  106. - Allowed custom HTML tags with a dash in the name to pass through filter_xss()
  107. when specified in the list of allowed tags.
  108. - Allowed hook_field_schema() implementations to specify indexes for fields
  109. based on a fixed-length column prefix (rather than the entire column), as was
  110. already allowed in hook_schema() implementations.
  111. - Fixed PDO exceptions on PostgreSQL when accessing invalid entity URLs.
  112. - Added a sites/all/libraries folder to the codebase, with instructions for
  113. using it.
  114. - Added a description to the "Administer text formats and filters" permission
  115. on the Permissions page (string change).
  116. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  117. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  118. - Additional automated test coverage.
  119. Drupal 7.36, 2015-04-01
  120. -----------------------
  121. - Added a 'file_public_schema' variable which allows modules that define
  122. publicly-accessible streams in hook_stream_wrappers() to bypass file download
  123. access checks when processing managed file upload fields.
  124. - Fixed a bug that caused database query tags not to be added to search-related
  125. database queries under many circumstances, and which prevented the
  126. corresponding hook_query_TAG_alter() implementations from being called.
  127. - Fixed the "for" attribute on managed file upload field labels to improve
  128. accessibility (minor markup change).
  129. - Added a 'javascript_always_use_jquery' variable which can be set to FALSE by
  130. sites that may not need jQuery loaded on all pages, and a 'requires_jquery'
  131. option to drupal_add_js() which modules can set to FALSE when adding
  132. JavaScript files that have no dependency on jQuery (API addition:
  133. https://www.drupal.org/node/2462717).
  134. - Fixed incorrect foreign keys in the User module's role_permission and
  135. users_roles database tables.
  136. - Changed permission descriptions throughout Drupal core to consistently link
  137. to relevant administrative pages, regardless of whether the user viewing the
  138. Permissions page can view the page being linked to (minor UI change).
  139. - Fixed the drupal_add_region_content() function so that it actually adds
  140. content to the page.
  141. - Added an 'image_suppress_itok_output' variable to allow sites already using
  142. the existing 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to also prevent
  143. security tokens from appearing in image derivative URLs.
  144. - Fixed double-escaping of theme names in the Block module administrative
  145. interface (minor string change).
  146. - Added basic support for Xdebug when running automated tests.
  147. - Fixed a bug which caused previewing a node to remove elements from the node
  148. being edited. With this fix, calling node_preview() will no longer modify the
  149. passed-in node object (minor API change).
  150. - Added a user_has_role() function to check whether a user has a particular
  151. role (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2462411).
  152. - Fixed installation failures when an opcode cache is enabled.
  153. - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused private
  154. files to be inaccessible.
  155. - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused user
  156. pictures to be lost.
  157. - Fixed missing language code in hook_field_attach_view_alter() when it is
  158. invoked from field_view_field().
  159. - Stopped sending ETag and Last-Modified headers for uncached page requests,
  160. since they break caching for certain Varnish and Nginx configurations.
  161. - Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-4 test classes to be used in
  162. Drupal 7.
  163. - Fixed a fatal error that occurred when using the Comment module's "Unpublish
  164. comment containing keyword(s)" action.
  165. - Changed the "lang" attribute on language links to "xml:lang" so it validates
  166. as XHTML (minor markup change).
  167. - Prevented the form API from allowing arrays to be submitted for various form
  168. elements, such as textfields, textareas, and password fields (API change:
  169. https://www.drupal.org/node/2462723).
  170. - Fixed a bug in the Contact module which caused the global user object to have
  171. the incorrect name and e-mail address during the remainder of the page
  172. request after the contact form is submitted.
  173. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  174. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  175. - Additional automated test coverage.
  176. Drupal 7.35, 2015-03-18
  177. -----------------------
  178. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-001.
  179. Drupal 7.34, 2014-11-19
  180. -----------------------
  181. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-006.
  182. Drupal 7.33, 2014-11-07
  183. -----------------------
  184. - Began storing the file modification time of each module and theme in the
  185. {system} database table so that contributed modules can use it to identify
  186. recently changed modules and themes (minor data structure change to the
  187. return value of system_get_info() and other related functions).
  188. - Added a "Did you mean?" feature to the run-tests.sh script for running
  189. automated tests from the command line, to help developers who are attempting
  190. to run a particular test class or group.
  191. - Changed the date format used in various HTTP headers output by Drupal core
  192. from RFC 1123 format to RFC 7231 format.
  193. - Added a "block_cache_bypass_node_grants" variable to allow sites which have
  194. node access modules enabled to use the block cache if desired (API addition).
  195. - Made image derivative generation HTTP requests return a 404 error (rather
  196. than a 500 error) when the source image does not exist.
  197. - Fixed a bug which caused user pictures to be removed from the user object
  198. after saving, and resulted in data loss if the user account was subsequently
  199. re-saved.
  200. - Fixed a bug in which field_has_data() did not return TRUE for fields that
  201. only had data in older entity revisions, leading to loss of the field's data
  202. when the field configuration was edited.
  203. - Fixed a bug which caused the Ajax progress throbber to appear misaligned in
  204. many situatons (minor styling change).
  205. - Prevented the Bartik theme from lower-casing the "Permalink" link on
  206. comments, for improved multilingual support (minor UI change).
  207. - Added a "preferred_menu_links" tag to the database query that is used by
  208. menu_link_get_preferred() to find the preferred menu link for a given path,
  209. to make it easier to alter.
  210. - Increased the maximum allowed length of block titles to 255 characters
  211. (database schema change to the {block} table).
  212. - Removed the Field module's field_modules_uninstalled() function, since it did
  213. not do anything when it was invoked.
  214. - Added a "theme_hook_original" variable to templates and theme functions and
  215. an optional sitewide theme debug mode, to provide contextual information in
  216. the page's HTML to theme developers. The theme debug mode is based on the one
  217. used with Twig in Drupal 8 and can be accessed by setting the "theme_debug"
  218. variable to TRUE (API addition).
  219. - Added an entity_view_mode_prepare() API function to allow entity-defining
  220. modules to properly invoke hook_entity_view_mode_alter(), and used it
  221. throughout Drupal core to fix bugs with the invocation of that hook (API
  222. change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2369141).
  223. - Security improvement: Made the database API's orderBy() method sanitize the
  224. sort direction ("ASC" or "DESC") for queries built with db_select(), so that
  225. calling code does not have to.
  226. - Changed the RDF module to consistently output RDF metadata for nodes and
  227. comments near where the node is rendered in the HTML (minor markup and data
  228. structure change).
  229. - Added an HTML class to RDFa metatags throughout Drupal to prevent them from
  230. accidentally affecting the site appearance (minor markup change).
  231. - Fixed a bug in the Unicode requirements check which prevented installing
  232. Drupal on PHP 5.6.
  233. - Fixed a bug which caused drupal_get_bootstrap_phase() to abort the bootstrap
  234. when called early in the page request.
  235. - Renamed the "Search result" view mode to "Search result highlighting input"
  236. to better reflect how it is used (UI change).
  237. - Improved database queries generated by EntityFieldQuery in the case where
  238. delta or language condition groups are used, to reduce the number of INNER
  239. JOINs (this is a minor data structure change affecting code which implements
  240. hook_query_alter() on these queries).
  241. - Removed special-case behavior for file uploads which allowed user #1 to
  242. bypass maximum file size and user quota limits.
  243. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  244. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  245. - Additional automated test coverage.
  246. Drupal 7.32, 2014-10-15
  247. -----------------------
  248. - Fixed security issues (SQL injection). See SA-CORE-2014-005.
  249. Drupal 7.31, 2014-08-06
  250. -----------------------
  251. - Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2014-004.
  252. Drupal 7.30, 2014-07-24
  253. -----------------------
  254. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.29 that caused files or images
  255. attached to taxonomy terms to be deleted when the taxonomy term was edited
  256. and resaved (and other related bugs with contributed and custom modules).
  257. - Added a warning on the permissions page to recommend restricting access to
  258. the "View site reports" permission to trusted administrators. See
  259. DRUPAL-PSA-2014-002.
  260. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  261. - Additional automated test coverage.
  262. Drupal 7.29, 2014-07-16
  263. -----------------------
  264. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-003.
  265. Drupal 7.28, 2014-05-08
  266. -----------------------
  267. - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.27 that caused JavaScript to break
  268. on older browsers (such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier) when Ajax was
  269. used.
  270. - Increased the timeout used by the Update Manager module when it fetches data
  271. from drupal.org (from 5 seconds to 30 seconds), to work around a problem
  272. which causes incomplete information about security updates to be presented to
  273. site administrators. This fix may lead to a performance slowdown on the
  274. Update Manager administration pages, when installing Drupal distributions,
  275. and (for sites that use the automated cron feature) on occasional page loads
  276. by site visitors.
  277. - Fixed the behavior of the token system's "[node:summary]" token when the body
  278. field does not have a manual summary.
  279. - Changed the behavior of db_query_temporary() so that it works on SELECT
  280. queries even when they have leading comments/whitespace. A side effect of
  281. this fix is that db_query_temporary() will now fail with an error if it is
  282. ever used on non-SELECT queries.
  283. - Added a "node_admin_filter" tag to the database query used to build the list
  284. of nodes on the content administration page, to make it easier to alter.
  285. - Made the cron queue system log any exceptions that are thrown while an item
  286. in the queue is being processed, rather than stopping the entire PHP request.
  287. - Improved screen reader support by adding an aria-live HTML attribute to file
  288. upload fields when there is an error uploading the file (minor markup
  289. change).
  290. - Made the pager on the Tracker module listing pages show the same number of
  291. items as other pagers throughout Drupal core (minor UI change).
  292. - Fixed a bug which caused caches not to be properly cleared when a file entity
  293. was saved or deleted.
  294. - Added several missing countries to the default list returned by
  295. country_get_list() (string change).
  296. - Replaced the term "weight" with "influence" in the content ranking settings
  297. for search, and added help text for administrators (string change).
  298. - Fixed untranslatable text strings in the administrative interface for the
  299. "Crop" effect provided by the Image module (minor string change).
  300. - Fixed a bug in the Taxonomy module update function introduced in Drupal 7.26
  301. that caused memory and CPU problems on sites with very large numbers of
  302. unpublished nodes.
  303. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  304. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  305. - Additional automated test coverage.
  306. Drupal 7.27, 2014-04-16
  307. -----------------------
  308. - Fixed security issues (information disclosure). See SA-CORE-2014-002.
  309. Drupal 7.26, 2014-01-15
  310. -----------------------
  311. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-001.
  312. Drupal 7.25, 2014-01-02
  313. -----------------------
  314. - Fixed a bug in node_save() which prevented the saved node from being updated
  315. in hook_node_insert() and other similar hooks.
  316. - Added a meta tag to install.php to prevent it from being indexed by search
  317. engines even when Drupal is installed in a subfolder (minor markup change).
  318. - Fixed a bug in the database API that caused frequent deadlock errors when
  319. running merge queries on some servers.
  320. - Performance improvement: Prevented block rehashing from writing blocks to the
  321. database on every cache clear and cron run when the blocks have not changed.
  322. This fix results in an extra 'saved' key which is added and set to TRUE for
  323. each block returned by _block_rehash() that actually is saved to the database
  324. (data structure change).
  325. - Added an optional 'skip on cron' parameter to hook_cron_queue_info() to allow
  326. queues to avoid being automatically processed on cron runs (API addition).
  327. - Fixed a bug which caused hook_block_view_MODULE_DELTA_alter() to never be
  328. invoked if the block delta had a hyphen in it. To implement the hook when the
  329. block delta has a hyphen, modules should now replace hyphens with underscores
  330. when constructing the function name for the hook implementation.
  331. - Fixed a bug which caused cached pages to sometimes be sent to the browser
  332. with incorrect compression. The fix adds a new 'page_compressed' key to the
  333. $cache->data array returned by drupal_page_get_cache() (minor data structure
  334. change).
  335. - Fixed broken tests on PHP 5.5.
  336. - Made the File and Image modules more robust when saving entities that have
  337. deleted files attached. The code in file_field_presave() will now remove the
  338. record of the deleted file from the entity before saving (minor data
  339. structure change).
  340. - Standardized menu callback functions throughout Drupal core to return
  341. MENU_NOT_FOUND and MENU_ACCESS_DENIED rather than printing their own "page
  342. not found" or "access denied" pages (minor API change in the return value of
  343. these functions under some circumstances).
  344. - Fixed a bug in which caches were not properly cleared when a node was deleted
  345. via the administrative interface.
  346. - Changed the Bartik theme to render content contained in <pre>, <code> and
  347. similar tags in a larger font size, so it is easier to read.
  348. - Fixed a bug in the Search module that caused exceptions to be thrown during
  349. searches if the server was not configured to represent decimal points as a
  350. period.
  351. - Fixed a regression in the Image module that made image_style_url() not work
  352. when a relative path (rather than a complete file URI) was passed to it.
  353. - Added an optional feature to the Statistics module to allow node views to be
  354. tracked by Ajax requests rather than during the server-side generation of the
  355. page. This allows the node counter to work on sites that use external page
  356. caches (string change and new administrative option:
  357. https://drupal.org/node/2164069).
  358. - Added a link to the drupal.org documentation page for cron to the Cron
  359. settings page (string change).
  360. - Added a 'drupal_anonymous_user_object' variable to allow the anonymous user
  361. object returned by drupal_anonymous_user() to be overridden with a classed
  362. object (API addition).
  363. - Changed the database API to allow inserts based on a SELECT * query to work
  364. correctly.
  365. - Changed the database schema of the {file_managed} table to allow Drupal to
  366. manage files larger than 4 GB.
  367. - Changed the File module's hook_field_load() implementation to prevent file
  368. entity properties which have the same name as file or image field properties
  369. from overwriting the field properties (minor API change).
  370. - Numerous small bug fixes.
  371. - Numerous API documentation improvements.
  372. - Additional automated test coverage.
  373. Drupal 7.24, 2013-11-20
  374. -----------------------
  375. - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities), see SA-CORE-2013-003.
  376. Drupal 7.23, 2013-08-07
  377. -----------------------
  378. - Fixed a fatal error on PostgreSQL databases when updating the Taxonomy module
  379. from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.
  380. - Fixed the default ordering of CSS files for sites using right-to-left
  381. languages, to consistently place the right-to-left override file immediately
  382. after the CSS it is overriding (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058463).
  383. - Added a drupal_check_memory_limit() API function to allow the memory limit to
  384. be checked consistently (API addition).
  385. - Changed the default web.config file for IIS servers to allow favicon.ico
  386. files which are present in the filesystem to be accessed.
  387. - Fixed inconsistent support for the 'tel' protocol in Drupal's URL filtering
  388. functions.
  389. - Performance improvement: Allowed all hooks to be included in the
  390. module_implements() cache, even those that are only invoked on HTTP POST
  391. requests.
  392. - Made the database system replace truncate queries with delete queries when
  393. inside a transaction, to fix issues with PostgreSQL and other databases.
  394. - Fixed a bug which caused nested contextual links to display improperly.
  395. - Fixed a bug which prevented cached image derivatives from being flushed for
  396. private files and other non-default file schemes.
  397. - Fixed drupal_render() to always return an empty string when there is no
  398. output, rather than sometimes returning NULL (minor API change).
  399. - Added protection to cache_clear_all() to ensure that non-cache tables cannot
  400. be truncated (API addition: a new isValidBin() method has been added to the
  401. default database cache implementation).
  402. - Changed the default .htaccess file to support HTTP authorization in CGI
  403. environments.
  404. - Changed the password reset form to pre-fill the username when requested via a
  405. URL query parameter, and used this in the error message that appears after a
  406. failed login attempt (minor data structure and behavior change).
  407. - Fixed broken support for foreign keys in the field API.
  408. - Fixed "No active batch" error when a user cancels their own account.
  409. - Added a description to the "access content overview" permission on the
  410. permissions page (string change).
  411. - Added a drupal_array_diff_assoc_recursive() function to allow associative
  412. arrays to be compared recursively (API addition).
  413. - Added human-readable labels to image styles, in addition to the existing
  414. machine-readable name (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058503).
  415. - Moved the drupal_get_hash_salt() function to bootstrap.inc and used it in
  416. additional places in the code, for added security in the case where there is
  417. no hash salt in settings.php.
  418. - Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.22 that caused internal server errors for
  419. sites running on very old Apache 1.x web servers.

  446. - Fixed OpenID errors when more than one module implements hook_openid(). The
  447. behavior is now changed so that if more than one module tries to set the same
  448. parameter, the last module's change takes effect.

  453. duplicate permission names in the User module's database tables.
  454. - Added an empty "datatype" attribute to taxonomy term and username links to
  455. make the RDFa markup upward compatible with RDFa 1.1 (minor markup addition).

  468. change: http://drupal.org/node/1882722).
  469. - Fixed broken support for translatable comment fields (API change:
  470. http://drupal.org/node/1874724).

  521. (schema change which results in several columns in the Aggregator module's
  522. database tables changing from VARCHAR to TEXT fields).

  830. ----------------------
  831. - Database:
  832. * Fully rewritten database layer utilizing PHP 5's PDO abstraction layer.
  833. * Drupal now requires MySQL >= 5.0.15 or PostgreSQL >= 8.3.
  834. * Added query builders for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, and SELECT queries.
  835. * Support for master/slave replication, transactions, multi-insert queries,
  836. and other features.
  837. * Added support for the SQLite database engine.
  838. * Default to InnoDB engine, rather than MyISAM, on MySQL when available.
  839. This offers increased scalability and data integrity.
  840. - Security:
  841. * Protected cron.php -- cron will only run if the proper key is provided.
  842. * Implemented a pluggable password system and much stronger password hashes
  843. that are compatible with the Portable PHP password hashing framework.
  844. * Rate limited login attempts to prevent brute-force password guessing, and
  845. improved the flood control API to allow variable time windows and
  846. identifiers for limiting user access to resources.
  847. * Transformed the "Update status" module into the "Update manager" which
  848. can securely install or update modules and themes via a web interface.
  849. - Usability:
  850. * Added contextual links (a.k.a. local tasks) to page elements, such as
  851. blocks, nodes, or comments, which allows to perform the most common tasks
  852. with a single click only.
  853. * Improved installer requirements check.
  854. * Improved support for integration of WYSIWYG editors.
  855. * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for input format listings.
  856. * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for language listing.
  857. * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for poll options.
  858. * Provided descriptions and human-readable names for user permissions.
  859. * Removed comment controls for users.
  860. * Removed display order settings for comment module. Comment display
  861. order can now be customized using the Views module.
  862. * Removed the 'related terms' feature from taxonomy module since this can
  863. now be achieved with Field API.
  864. * Added additional features to the default installation profile, and
  865. implemented a "slimmed down" profile designed for developers.
  866. * Added a built-in, automated cron run feature, which is triggered by site
  867. visitors.
  868. * Added an administrator role which is assigned all permissions for
  869. installed modules automatically.
  870. * Image toolkits are now provided by modules (rather than requiring a
  871. manual file copy to the includes directory).
  872. * Added an edit tab to taxonomy term pages.
  873. * Redesigned password strength validator.
  874. * Redesigned the add content type screen.
  875. * Highlight duplicate URL aliases.
  876. * Renamed "input formats" to "text formats".
  877. * Moved text format permissions to the main permissions page.
  878. * Added configurable ability for users to cancel their own accounts.
  879. * Added "vertical tabs", a reusable interface component that features
  880. automatic summaries and increases usability.
  881. * Replaced fieldsets on node edit and add pages with vertical tabs.
  882. - Performance:
  883. * Improved performance on uncached page views by loading multiple core
  884. objects in a single database query.
  885. * Improved performance for logged-in users by reducing queries for path
  886. alias lookups.
  887. * Improved support for HTTP proxies (including reverse proxies), allowing
  888. anonymous page views to be served entirely from the proxy.
  889. - Documentation:
  890. * Hook API documentation now included in Drupal core.
  891. - News aggregator:
  892. * Added OPML import functionality for RSS feeds.
  893. * Optionally, RSS feeds may be configured to not automatically generate feed blocks.
  894. - Search:
  895. * Added support for language-aware searches.
  896. - Aggregator:
  897. * Introduced architecture that allows pluggable parsers and processors for
  898. syndicating RSS and Atom feeds.
  899. * Added options to suspend updating specific feeds and never discard feeds
  900. items.
  901. - Testing:
  902. * Added test framework and tests.
  903. - Improved time zone support:
  904. * Drupal now uses PHP's time zone database when rendering dates in local
  905. time. Site-wide and user-configured time zone offsets have been converted
  906. to time zone names, e.g. Africa/Abidjan.
  907. * In some cases the upgrade and install scripts do not choose the preferred
  908. site default time zone. The automatically-selected time zone can be
  909. corrected at admin/config/regional/settings.
  910. * If your site is being upgraded from Drupal 6 and you do not have the
  911. contributed date or event modules installed, user time zone settings will
  912. fallback to the system time zone and will have to be reconfigured by each user.
  913. * User-configured time zones now serve as the default time zone for PHP
  914. date/time functions.
  915. - Filter system:
  916. * Revamped the filter API and text format storage.
  917. * Added support for default text formats to be assigned on a per-role basis.
  918. * Refactored the HTML corrector to take advantage of PHP 5 features.
  919. - User system:
  920. * Added clean API functions for creating, loading, updating, and deleting
  921. user roles and permissions.
  922. * Refactored the "access rules" component of user module: The user module
  923. now provides a simple interface for blocking single IP addresses. The
  924. previous functionality in the user module for restricting certain e-mail
  925. addresses and usernames is now available as a contributed module. Further,
  926. IP address range blocking is no longer supported and should be implemented
  927. at the operating system level.
  928. * Removed per-user themes: Contributed modules with similar functionality
  929. are available.
  930. - OpenID:
  931. * Added support for Gmail and Google Apps for Domain identifiers. Users can
  932. now login with their user@example.com identifier when example.com is powered
  933. by Google.
  934. * Made the OpenID module more pluggable.
  935. - Added code registry:
  936. * Using the registry, modules declare their includable files via their .info file,
  937. allowing Drupal to lazy-load classes and interfaces as needed.
  938. - Theme system:
  939. * Removed the Bluemarine, Chameleon and Pushbutton themes. These themes live
  940. on as contributed themes (http://drupal.org/project/bluemarine,
  941. http://drupal.org/project/chameleon and http://drupal.org/project/pushbutton).
  942. * Added Stark theme to make analyzing Drupal's default HTML and CSS easier.
  943. * Added Seven as the default administration theme.
  944. * Variable preprocessing of theme hooks prior to template rendering now goes
  945. through two phases: a 'preprocess' phase and a new 'process' phase. See
  946. http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
  947. * Theme hooks implemented as functions (rather than as templates) can now
  948. also have preprocess (and process) functions. See
  949. http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
  950. * Added Bartik as the default theme.
  951. - File handling:
  952. * Files are now first class Drupal objects with file_load(), file_save(),
  953. and file_validate() functions and corresponding hooks.
  954. * The file_move(), file_copy() and file_delete() functions now operate on
  955. file objects and invoke file hooks so that modules are notified and can
  956. respond to changes.
  957. * For the occasions when only basic file manipulation are needed--such as
  958. uploading a site logo--that don't require the overhead of databases and
  959. hooks, the current unmanaged copy, move and delete operations have been
  960. preserved but renamed to file_unmanaged_*().
  961. * Rewrote file handling to use PHP stream wrappers to enable support for
  962. both public and private files and to support pluggable storage mechanisms
  963. and access to remote resources (e.g. S3 storage or Flickr photos).
  964. * The mime_extension_mapping variable has been removed. Modules that need to
  965. alter the default MIME type extension mappings should implement
  966. hook_file_mimetype_mapping_alter().
  967. * Added the hook_file_url_alter() hook, which makes it possible to serve
  968. files from a CDN.
  969. * Added a field specifically for uploading files, previously provided by
  970. the contributed module FileField.
  971. - Image handling:
  972. * Improved image handling, including better support for add-on image
  973. libraries.
  974. * Added API and interface for creating advanced image thumbnails.
  975. * Inclusion of additional effects such as rotate and desaturate.
  976. * Added a field specifically for uploading images, previously provided by
  977. the contributed module ImageField.
  978. - Added aliased multi-site support:
  979. * Added support for mapping domain names to sites directories.
  980. - Added RDF support:
  981. * Modules can declare RDF namespaces which are serialized in the <html> tag
  982. for RDFa support.
  983. * Modules can specify how their data structure maps to RDF.
  984. * Added support for RDFa export of nodes, comments, terms, users, etc. and
  985. their fields.
  986. - Search engine optimization and web linking:
  987. * Added a rel="canonical" link on node and comment pages to prevent
  988. duplicate content indexing by search engines.
  989. * Added a default rel="shortlink" link on node and comment pages that
  990. advertises a short link as an alternative URL to third-party services.
  991. * Meta information is now alterable by all modules before rendering.
  992. - Field API:
  993. * Custom data fields may be attached to nodes, users, comments and taxonomy
  994. terms.
  995. * Node bodies and teasers are now Field API fields instead of
  996. being a hard-coded property of node objects.
  997. * In addition, any other object type may register with Field API
  998. and allow custom data fields to be attached to itself.
  999. * Provides most of the features of the former Content Construction
  1000. Kit (CCK) module.
  1001. * Taxonomy terms are now Field API fields that can be added to any fieldable
  1002. object.
  1003. - Installer:
  1004. * Refactored the installer into an API that allows Drupal to be installed
  1005. via a command line script.
  1006. - Page organization
  1007. * Made the help text area a full featured region with blocks.
  1008. * Site mission is replaced with the highlighted content block region and
  1009. separate RSS feed description settings.
  1010. * The footer message setting was removed in favor of custom blocks.
  1011. * Made the main page content a block which can be moved and ordered
  1012. with other blocks in the same region.
  1013. * Blocks can now return structured arrays for later rendering just
  1014. like page callbacks.
  1015. - Translation system
  1016. * The translation system now supports message context (msgctxt).
  1017. * Added support for translatable fields to Field API.
  1018. - JavaScript changes
  1019. * Upgraded the core JavaScript library to jQuery version 1.4.4.
  1020. * Upgraded the jQuery Forms library to 2.52.
  1021. * Added jQuery UI 1.8.7, which allows improvements to Drupal's user
  1022. experience.
  1023. - Better module version support
  1024. * Modules now can specify which version of another module they depend on.
  1025. - Removed modules from core
  1026. * The following modules have been removed from core, because contributed
  1027. modules with similar functionality are available:
  1028. * Blog API module
  1029. * Ping module
  1030. * Throttle module
  1031. - Improved node access control system.
  1032. * All modules may now influence the access to a node at runtime, not just
  1033. the module that defined a node.
  1034. * Users may now be allowed to bypass node access restrictions without giving
  1035. them complete access to the site.
  1036. * Access control affects both published and unpublished nodes.
  1037. * Numerous other improvements to the node access system.
  1038. - Actions system
  1039. * Simplified definitions of actions and triggers.
  1040. * Removed dependency on the combination of hooks and operations. Triggers
  1041. now directly map to module hooks.
  1042. - Task handling
  1043. * Added a queue API to process many or long-running tasks.
  1044. * Added queue API support to cron API.
  1045. * Added a locking framework to coordinate long-running operations across
  1046. requests.

  1984. * Story sections can be maintained from the administration pages.
  1985. * 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.

  1987. * You can set up multiple Drupal sites on top of the same physical source tree either by using vhosts or sub-directories.

  1994. - Added fine-grained user permission (or group) system:
  1995. * 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.
