Drupal 7.17, xxxx-xx-xx (development version)
-----------------------
- Fixed the theme settings form to properly clean up submitted values in
$form_state['values'] when the form is submitted (data structure change).
- Updated various admin tables to use the default "empty table" text UX
pattern.
- Added proxy server support to drupal_http_request().
- Added "lang" attributes to language links, to better support screen readers.
- Fixed double occurrence of a "ul" HTML tag on secondary local tasks in the
Seven theme (markup change).
- Fixed a bug which caused shortcut set titles to be double-escaped. The fix
replaces the "Edit shortcuts" menu item's title callback entry in hook_menu()
with a new function that does not escape HTML characters (data structure
change).
- Modified the Update manager module to allow drupal.org to collect usage
statistics for individual modules and themes, rather than only for entire
projects.
- Fixed a regression which caused a "call to undefined function
drupal_find_base_themes()" fatal error under rare circumstances.
- Added hook_entity_view_mode_alter() to allow modules to change entity view
modes on display.
Drupal 7.16, 2012-10-17
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (Arbitrary PHP code execution and information
disclosure). See SA-CORE-2012-003.
Drupal 7.15, 2012-08-01
-----------------------
- Introduced a 'user_password_reset_timeout' variable to allow the 24-hour
expiration for user password reset links to be adjusted (API addition).
- Fixed database errors due to ambiguous column names that occurred when
EntityFieldQuery was used in certain situations.
- Changed the drupal_array_get_nested_value() function to return a reference
(API addition).
- Changed the System module's hook_block_info() implementation to assign the
"Main page content" and "System help" blocks to appropriate regions by
default and prevent error messages on the block administration page (data
structure change).
- Fixed regression: Non-node entities couldn't be accessed with
EntityFieldQuery.
- Fixed regression: Optional radio buttons with an empty, non-NULL default
value led to an illegal choice error when none were selected.
- Reorganized the testing framework to split setUp() into specific sub-methods
and fix several regressions in the process.
- Fixed bug which made it impossible to search for strings that have not been
translated into a particular language.
- Renamed the "Field" column on the Manage Fields screen to "Field type", since
the former was confusing and inaccurate (UI change).
- Performance improvement: Removed needless call to system_rebuild_module_data()
in field_sync_field_status(), greatly speeding up bulk module enable/disable.
- Fixed bug which prevented notifications from being sent when core, module, and
theme updates are available.
- Fixed bug which prevented sub-themes from inheriting the default values of
theme settings defined by the base theme.
- Fixed bug which prevented the jQuery UI Datepicker from being localized.
- Made Ajax alert dialogs respect error reporting settings.
- Fixed bug which prevented image styles from being deleted on PHP 5.4.
- Fixed bug: Language detection by domain only worked on port 80.
- Fixed regression: The first plural index on a page was not calculated
correctly.
- Introduced generic entity language support. Entities may now declare their
language property in hook_entity_info(), and modules working with entities
may access the language using entity_language() (API change:
http://drupal.org/node/1626346).
- Added EntityFieldQuery support for taxonomy bundles.
- Fixed issue where field form structure was incomplete if field_access()
returned FALSE. Instead of being incomplete, the form structure now has
#access set to FALSE and field form validation is skipped (data structure
change: http://drupal.org/node/1663020).
- Fixed data loss issue due to field_has_data() returning inconsistent results.
The fix adds an optional DANGEROUS_ACCESS_CHECK_OPT_OUT tag to entity field
queries which field storage engines can respond to (API addition:
http://drupal.org/node/1597378).
- Fixed notice: Undefined index: default_image in image_field_prepare_view()
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.14 2012-05-02
----------------------
- Fixed "integrity constraint" fatal errors when rebuilding registry.
- Fixed custom logo and favicon functionality referencing incorrect paths.
- Fixed DB Case Sensitivity: Allow BINARY attribute in MySQL.
- Split field_bundle_settings out per bundle.
- Improve UX for machine names for fields (UI change).
- Fixed User pictures are not removed properly.
- Fixed HTTPS sessions not working in all cases.
- Fixed Regression: Required radios throw illegal choice error when none
selected.
- Fixed allow autocompletion requests to include slashes.
- Eliminate $user->cache and {session}.cache in favor of
$_SESSION['cache_expiration'][$bin] (Performance).
- Fixed focus jumps to tab when pressing enter on a form element within tab.
- Fixed race condition in locale() - duplicates in {locales_source}.
- Fixed Missing "Default image" per field instance.
- Quit clobbering people's work when they click the filter tips link
- Form API #states: Fix conditionals to allow OR and XOR constructions.
- Fixed Focus jumps to tab when pressing enter on a form element within tab.
(Accessibility)
- Improved performance of node_access queries.
- Fixed Fieldsets inside vertical tabs have no title and can't be collapsed.
- Reduce size of cache_menu table (Performance).
- Fixed unnecessary aggregation of CSS/JS (Performance).
- Fixed taxonomy_autocomplete() produces SQL error for nonexistent field.
- Fixed HTML filter is not run first by default, despite default weight.
- Fixed Overlay does not work with prefixed URL paths.
- Better debug info for field errors (string change).
- Fixed Data corruption in comment IDs (results in broken threading on
PostgreSQL).
- Fixed machine name not editable if every character is replaced.
- Fixed user picture not appearing in comment preview (Markup change).
- Added optional vid argument for taxonomy_get_term_by_name().
- Fixed Invalid Unicode code range in PREG_CLASS_UNICODE_WORD_BOUNDARY fails
with PCRE 8.30.
- Fixed {trigger_assignments()}.hook has only 32 characters, is too short.
- Numerous fixes to run-tests.sh.
- Fixed Tests in profiles/[name]/modules cannot be run and cannot use a
different profile for running tests.
- Numerous JavaScript performance fixes.
- Numerous documentation fixes.
- Fixed All pager links have an 'active' CSS class.
- Numerous upgrade path fixes; notably:
- system_update_7061() fails on inserting files with same name but different
case.
- system_update_7061() converts filepaths too aggressively.
- Trigger upgrade path: Node triggers removed when upgrading to 7-x from 6.25.
Drupal 7.13 2012-05-02
----------------------
- Fixed security issues (Multiple vulnerabilities), see SA-CORE-2012-002.
Drupal 7.12, 2012-02-01
----------------------
- Fixed bug preventing custom menus from receiving an active trail.
- Fixed hook_field_delete() no longer invoked during field_purge_data().
- Fixed bug causing entity info cache to not be cleared with the rest of caches.
- Fixed file_unmanaged_copy() fails with Drupal 7.7+ and safe_mode() or
open_basedir().
- Fixed Nested transactions throw exceptions when they got out of scope.

non-Windows systems.
- Fixed bug with DrupalCacheArray property visibility preventing others from
extending it (API change: http://drupal.org/node/1422264).

Drupal 7.0, 2011-01-05
----------------------
- Database:
* Fully rewritten database layer utilizing PHP 5's PDO abstraction layer.
* Drupal now requires MySQL >= 5.0.15 or PostgreSQL >= 8.3.
* Added query builders for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, and SELECT queries.
* Support for master/slave replication, transactions, multi-insert queries,
and other features.
* Added support for the SQLite database engine.
* Default to InnoDB engine, rather than MyISAM, on MySQL when available.
This offers increased scalability and data integrity.
- Security:
* Protected cron.php -- cron will only run if the proper key is provided.
* Implemented a pluggable password system and much stronger password hashes
that are compatible with the Portable PHP password hashing framework.
* Rate limited login attempts to prevent brute-force password guessing, and
improved the flood control API to allow variable time windows and
identifiers for limiting user access to resources.
* Transformed the "Update status" module into the "Update manager" which
can securely install or update modules and themes via a web interface.
- Usability:
* Added contextual links (a.k.a. local tasks) to page elements, such as
blocks, nodes, or comments, which allows to perform the most common tasks
with a single click only.
* Improved installer requirements check.
* Improved support for integration of WYSIWYG editors.
* Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for input format listings.
* Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for language listing.
* Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for poll options.
* Provided descriptions and human-readable names for user permissions.
* Removed comment controls for users.
* Removed display order settings for comment module. Comment display
order can now be customized using the Views module.
* Removed the 'related terms' feature from taxonomy module since this can
now be achieved with Field API.
* Added additional features to the default installation profile, and
implemented a "slimmed down" profile designed for developers.
* Added a built-in, automated cron run feature, which is triggered by site
visitors.
* Added an administrator role which is assigned all permissions for
installed modules automatically.
* Image toolkits are now provided by modules (rather than requiring a
manual file copy to the includes directory).
* Added an edit tab to taxonomy term pages.
* Redesigned password strength validator.
* Redesigned the add content type screen.
* Highlight duplicate URL aliases.
* Renamed "input formats" to "text formats".
* Moved text format permissions to the main permissions page.
* Added configurable ability for users to cancel their own accounts.
* Added "vertical tabs", a reusable interface component that features
automatic summaries and increases usability.
* Replaced fieldsets on node edit and add pages with vertical tabs.
- Performance:
* Improved performance on uncached page views by loading multiple core
objects in a single database query.
* Improved performance for logged-in users by reducing queries for path
alias lookups.
* Improved support for HTTP proxies (including reverse proxies), allowing
anonymous page views to be served entirely from the proxy.
- Documentation:
* Hook API documentation now included in Drupal core.
- News aggregator:
* Added OPML import functionality for RSS feeds.
* Optionally, RSS feeds may be configured to not automatically generate feed blocks.
- Search:
* Added support for language-aware searches.
- Aggregator:
* Introduced architecture that allows pluggable parsers and processors for
syndicating RSS and Atom feeds.
* Added options to suspend updating specific feeds and never discard feeds
items.
- Testing:
* Added test framework and tests.
- Improved time zone support:
* Drupal now uses PHP's time zone database when rendering dates in local
time. Site-wide and user-configured time zone offsets have been converted
to time zone names, e.g. Africa/Abidjan.
* In some cases the upgrade and install scripts do not choose the preferred
site default time zone. The automatically-selected time zone can be
corrected at admin/config/regional/settings.
* If your site is being upgraded from Drupal 6 and you do not have the
contributed date or event modules installed, user time zone settings will
fallback to the system time zone and will have to be reconfigured by each user.
* User-configured time zones now serve as the default time zone for PHP
date/time functions.
- Filter system:
* Revamped the filter API and text format storage.
* Added support for default text formats to be assigned on a per-role basis.
* Refactored the HTML corrector to take advantage of PHP 5 features.
- User system:
* Added clean API functions for creating, loading, updating, and deleting
user roles and permissions.
* Refactored the "access rules" component of user module: The user module
now provides a simple interface for blocking single IP addresses. The
previous functionality in the user module for restricting certain e-mail
addresses and usernames is now available as a contributed module. Further,
IP address range blocking is no longer supported and should be implemented
at the operating system level.
* Removed per-user themes: Contributed modules with similar functionality
are available.
- OpenID:
* Added support for Gmail and Google Apps for Domain identifiers. Users can
now login with their [email protected] identifier when example.com is powered
by Google.
* Made the OpenID module more pluggable.
- Added code registry:
* Using the registry, modules declare their includable files via their .info file,
allowing Drupal to lazy-load classes and interfaces as needed.
- Theme system:
* Removed the Bluemarine, Chameleon and Pushbutton themes. These themes live
on as contributed themes (http://drupal.org/project/bluemarine,
http://drupal.org/project/chameleon and http://drupal.org/project/pushbutton).
* Added Stark theme to make analyzing Drupal's default HTML and CSS easier.
* Added Seven as the default administration theme.
* Variable preprocessing of theme hooks prior to template rendering now goes
through two phases: a 'preprocess' phase and a new 'process' phase. See
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
* Theme hooks implemented as functions (rather than as templates) can now
also have preprocess (and process) functions. See
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
* Added Bartik as the default theme.
- File handling:
* Files are now first class Drupal objects with file_load(), file_save(),
and file_validate() functions and corresponding hooks.
* The file_move(), file_copy() and file_delete() functions now operate on
file objects and invoke file hooks so that modules are notified and can
respond to changes.
* For the occasions when only basic file manipulation are needed--such as
uploading a site logo--that don't require the overhead of databases and
hooks, the current unmanaged copy, move and delete operations have been
preserved but renamed to file_unmanaged_*().
* Rewrote file handling to use PHP stream wrappers to enable support for
both public and private files and to support pluggable storage mechanisms
and access to remote resources (e.g. S3 storage or Flickr photos).
* The mime_extension_mapping variable has been removed. Modules that need to
alter the default MIME type extension mappings should implement
hook_file_mimetype_mapping_alter().
* Added the hook_file_url_alter() hook, which makes it possible to serve
files from a CDN.
* Added a field specifically for uploading files, previously provided by
the contributed module FileField.
- Image handling:
* Improved image handling, including better support for add-on image
libraries.
* Added API and interface for creating advanced image thumbnails.
* Inclusion of additional effects such as rotate and desaturate.
* Added a field specifically for uploading images, previously provided by
the contributed module ImageField.
- Added aliased multi-site support:
* Added support for mapping domain names to sites directories.
- Added RDF support:
* Modules can declare RDF namespaces which are serialized in the <html> tag
for RDFa support.
* Modules can specify how their data structure maps to RDF.
* Added support for RDFa export of nodes, comments, terms, users, etc. and
their fields.
- Search engine optimization and web linking:
* Added a rel="canonical" link on node and comment pages to prevent
duplicate content indexing by search engines.
* Added a default rel="shortlink" link on node and comment pages that
advertises a short link as an alternative URL to third-party services.
* Meta information is now alterable by all modules before rendering.
- Field API:
* Custom data fields may be attached to nodes, users, comments and taxonomy
terms.
* Node bodies and teasers are now Field API fields instead of
being a hard-coded property of node objects.
* In addition, any other object type may register with Field API
and allow custom data fields to be attached to itself.
* Provides most of the features of the former Content Construction
Kit (CCK) module.
* Taxonomy terms are now Field API fields that can be added to any fieldable
object.
- Installer:
* Refactored the installer into an API that allows Drupal to be installed
via a command line script.
- Page organization
* Made the help text area a full featured region with blocks.
* Site mission is replaced with the highlighted content block region and
separate RSS feed description settings.
* The footer message setting was removed in favor of custom blocks.
* Made the main page content a block which can be moved and ordered
with other blocks in the same region.
* Blocks can now return structured arrays for later rendering just
like page callbacks.
- Translation system
* The translation system now supports message context (msgctxt).
* Added support for translatable fields to Field API.
- JavaScript changes
* Upgraded the core JavaScript library to jQuery version 1.4.4.
* Upgraded the jQuery Forms library to 2.52.
* Added jQuery UI 1.8.7, which allows improvements to Drupal's user
experience.
- Better module version support
* Modules now can specify which version of another module they depend on.
- Removed modules from core
* The following modules have been removed from core, because contributed
modules with similar functionality are available:
* Blog API module
* Ping module
* Throttle module
- Improved node access control system.
* All modules may now influence the access to a node at runtime, not just
the module that defined a node.
* Users may now be allowed to bypass node access restrictions without giving
them complete access to the site.
* Access control affects both published and unpublished nodes.
* Numerous other improvements to the node access system.
- Actions system
* Simplified definitions of actions and triggers.
* Removed dependency on the combination of hooks and operations. Triggers
now directly map to module hooks.
- Task handling
* Added a queue API to process many or long-running tasks.
* Added queue API support to cron API.
* Added a locking framework to coordinate long-running operations across
requests.
