1

    
2
Drupal 7.26, 2014-01-15
3
----------------------
4
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-001.
5

    
6
Drupal 7.25, 2014-01-02
7
-----------------------
8
- Fixed a bug in node_save() which prevented the saved node from being updated
9
  in hook_node_insert() and other similar hooks.
10
- Added a meta tag to install.php to prevent it from being indexed by search
11
  engines even when Drupal is installed in a subfolder (minor markup change).
12
- Fixed a bug in the database API that caused frequent deadlock errors when
13
  running merge queries on some servers.
14
- Performance improvement: Prevented block rehashing from writing blocks to the
15
  database on every cache clear and cron run when the blocks have not changed.
16
  This fix results in an extra 'saved' key which is added and set to TRUE for
17
  each block returned by _block_rehash() that actually is saved to the database
18
  (data structure change).
19
- Added an optional 'skip on cron' parameter to hook_cron_queue_info() to allow
20
  queues to avoid being automatically processed on cron runs (API addition).
21
- Fixed a bug which caused hook_block_view_MODULE_DELTA_alter() to never be
22
  invoked if the block delta had a hyphen in it. To implement the hook when the
23
  block delta has a hyphen, modules should now replace hyphens with underscores
24
  when constructing the function name for the hook implementation.
25
- Fixed a bug which caused cached pages to sometimes be sent to the browser
26
  with incorrect compression. The fix adds a new 'page_compressed' key to the
27
  $cache->data array returned by drupal_page_get_cache() (minor data structure
28
  change).
29
- Fixed broken tests on PHP 5.5.
30
- Made the File and Image modules more robust when saving entities that have
31
  deleted files attached. The code in file_field_presave() will now remove the
32
  record of the deleted file from the entity before saving (minor data
33
  structure change).
34
- Standardized menu callback functions throughout Drupal core to return
35
  MENU_NOT_FOUND and MENU_ACCESS_DENIED rather than printing their own "page
36
  not found" or "access denied" pages (minor API change in the return value of
37
  these functions under some circumstances).
38
- Fixed a bug in which caches were not properly cleared when a node was deleted
39
  via the administrative interface.
40
- Changed the Bartik theme to render content contained in <pre>, <code> and
41
  similar tags in a larger font size, so it is easier to read.
42
- Fixed a bug in the Search module that caused exceptions to be thrown during
43
  searches if the server was not configured to represent decimal points as a
44
  period.
45
- Fixed a regression in the Image module that made image_style_url() not work
46
  when a relative path (rather than a complete file URI) was passed to it.
47
- Added an optional feature to the Statistics module to allow node views to be
48
  tracked by Ajax requests rather than during the server-side generation of the
49
  page. This allows the node counter to work on sites that use external page
50
  caches (string change and new administrative option:
51
  https://drupal.org/node/2164069).
52
- Added a link to the drupal.org documentation page for cron to the Cron
53
  settings page (string change).
54
- Added a 'drupal_anonymous_user_object' variable to allow the anonymous user
55
  object returned by drupal_anonymous_user() to be overridden with a classed
56
  object (API addition).
57
- Changed the database API to allow inserts based on a SELECT * query to work
58
  correctly.
59
- Changed the database schema of the {file_managed} table to allow Drupal to
60
  manage files larger than 4 GB.
61
- Changed the File module's hook_field_load() implementation to prevent file
62
  entity properties which have the same name as file or image field properties
63
  from overwriting the field properties (minor API change).
64
- Numerous small bug fixes.
65
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
66
- Additional automated test coverage.
67

    
68
Drupal 7.24, 2013-11-20
69
----------------------
70
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities), see SA-CORE-2013-003.
71

    
72
Drupal 7.23, 2013-08-07
73
-----------------------
74
- Fixed a fatal error on PostgreSQL databases when updating the Taxonomy module
75
  from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.
76
- Fixed the default ordering of CSS files for sites using right-to-left
77
  languages, to consistently place the right-to-left override file immediately
78
  after the CSS it is overriding (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058463).
79
- Added a drupal_check_memory_limit() API function to allow the memory limit to
80
  be checked consistently (API addition).
81
- Changed the default web.config file for IIS servers to allow favicon.ico
82
  files which are present in the filesystem to be accessed.
83
- Fixed inconsistent support for the 'tel' protocol in Drupal's URL filtering
84
  functions.
85
- Performance improvement: Allowed all hooks to be included in the
86
  module_implements() cache, even those that are only invoked on HTTP POST
87
  requests.
88
- Made the database system replace truncate queries with delete queries when
89
  inside a transaction, to fix issues with PostgreSQL and other databases.
90
- Fixed a bug which caused nested contextual links to display improperly.
91
- Fixed a bug which prevented cached image derivatives from being flushed for
92
  private files and other non-default file schemes.
93
- Fixed drupal_render() to always return an empty string when there is no
94
  output, rather than sometimes returning NULL (minor API change).
95
- Added protection to cache_clear_all() to ensure that non-cache tables cannot
96
  be truncated (API addition: a new isValidBin() method has been added to the
97
  default database cache implementation).
98
- Changed the default .htaccess file to support HTTP authorization in CGI
99
  environments.
100
- Changed the password reset form to pre-fill the username when requested via a
101
  URL query parameter, and used this in the error message that appears after a
102
  failed login attempt (minor data structure and behavior change).
103
- Fixed broken support for foreign keys in the field API.
104
- Fixed "No active batch" error when a user cancels their own account.
105
- Added a description to the "access content overview" permission on the
106
  permissions page (string change).
107
- Added a drupal_array_diff_assoc_recursive() function to allow associative
108
  arrays to be compared recursively (API addition).
109
- Added human-readable labels to image styles, in addition to the existing
110
  machine-readable name (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058503).
111
- Moved the drupal_get_hash_salt() function to bootstrap.inc and used it in
112
  additional places in the code, for added security in the case where there is
113
  no hash salt in settings.php.
114
- Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.22 that caused internal server errors for
115
  sites running on very old Apache 1.x web servers.
116
- Numerous small bug fixes.
117
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
118
- Additional automated test coverage.
119

    
120
Drupal 7.22, 2013-04-03
121
-----------------------
122
- Allowed the drupal_http_request() function to be overridden so that
123
  additional HTTP request capabilities can be added by contributed modules.
124
- Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-0 test classes to be used in
125
  Drupal 7.
126
- Removed an unnecessary "Content-Disposition" header from private file
127
  downloads; it prevented many private files from being viewed inline in a web
128
  browser.
129
- Changed various field API functions to allow them to optionally act on a
130
  single field within an entity (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1825844).
131
- Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal's file transfer functionality from working
132
  on some PHP 5.4 systems.
133
- Fixed incorrect log message when theme() is called for a theme hook that does
134
  not exist (minor string change).
135
- Fixed Drupal's token-replacement system to allow spaces in the token value.
136
- Changed the default behavior after a user creates a node they do not have
137
  access to view. The user will now be redirected to the front page rather than
138
  an access denied page.
139
- Fixed a bug which prevented empty HTTP headers (such as "0") from being set.
140
  (Minor behavior change: Callers of drupal_add_http_header() must now set
141
  FALSE explicitly to prevent a header from being sent at all; this was already
142
  indicated in the function's documentation.)
143
- Fixed OpenID errors when more than one module implements hook_openid(). The
144
  behavior is now changed so that if more than one module tries to set the same
145
  parameter, the last module's change takes effect.
146
- Fixed a serious documentation bug: The $name variable in the
147
  taxonomy-term.tpl.php theme template was incorrectly documented as being
148
  sanitized when in fact it is not.
149
- Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
150
  duplicate permission names in the User module's database tables.
151
- Added an empty "datatype" attribute to taxonomy term and username links to
152
  make the RDFa markup upward compatible with RDFa 1.1 (minor markup addition).
153
- Fixed a bug which caused the denial-of-service protection added in Drupal
154
  7.20 to break certain valid image URLs that had an extra slash in them.
155
- Fixed a bug with update queries in the SQLite database driver that prevented
156
  Drupal from being installed with SQLite on PHP 5.4.
157
- Fixed enforced dependencies errors updating to recent versions of Drupal 7 on
158
  certain non-MySQL databases.
159
- Refactored the Field module's caching behavior to obtain large improvements
160
  in memory usage for sites with many fields and instances (API addition:
161
  http://drupal.org/node/1915646).
162
- Fixed entity argument not being passed to implementations of
163
  hook_file_download_access_alter(). The fix adds an additional context
164
  parameter that can be passed when calling drupal_alter() for any hook (API
165
  change: http://drupal.org/node/1882722).
166
- Fixed broken support for translatable comment fields (API change:
167
  http://drupal.org/node/1874724).
168
- Added an assertThemeOutput() method to Simpletest to allow tests to check
169
  that themed output matches an expected HTML string (API addition).
170
- Added a link to "Install another module" after a module has been successfully
171
  downloaded via the Update Manager (UI change).
172
- Added an optional "exclusive" flag to installation profile .info files which
173
  allows Drupal distributions to force a profile to be selected during
174
  installation (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1961012).
175
- Fixed a bug which caused the database API to not properly close database
176
  connections.
177
- Added a link to the URL for running cron from outside the site to the Cron
178
  settings page (UI change).
179
- Fixed a bug which prevented image styles from being reverted on PHP 5.4.
180
- Made the default .htaccess rules protocol sensitive to improve security for
181
  sites which use HTTPS and redirect between "www" and non-"www" versions of
182
  the page.
183
- Numerous small bug fixes.
184
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
185
- Additional automated test coverage.
186

    
187
Drupal 7.21, 2013-03-06
188
-----------------------
189
- Allowed sites using the 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to still
190
  have partial protection from the security issues fixed in Drupal 7.20.
191

    
192
Drupal 7.20, 2013-02-20
193
-----------------------
194
- Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2013-002.
195

    
196
Drupal 7.19, 2013-01-16
197
-----------------------
198
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2013-001.
199

    
200
Drupal 7.18, 2012-12-19
201
-----------------------
202
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2012-004.
203

    
204
Drupal 7.17, 2012-11-07
205
-----------------------
206
- Changed the default value of the '404_fast_html' variable to have a DOCTYPE
207
  declaration.
208
- Made it possible to use associative arrays for the 'items' variable in
209
  theme_item_list().
210
- Fixed a bug which prevented required form elements without a title from being
211
  given an "error" class when the form fails validation.
212
- Prevented duplicate HTML IDs from appearing when two forms are displayed on
213
  the same page and one of them is submitted with invalid data (minor markup
214
  change).
215
- Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
216
  stale data in the Upload module's database tables.
217
- Fixed a bug in the States API which prevented certain types of form elements
218
  from being disabled when requested.
219
- Allowed aggregator feed items with author names longer than 255 characters to
220
  have a truncated version saved to the database (rather than causing a fatal
221
  error).
222
- Allowed aggregator feed items to have URLs longer than 255 characters
223
  (schema change which results in several columns in the Aggregator module's
224
  database tables changing from VARCHAR to TEXT fields).
225
- Added hook_taxonomy_term_view() and standardized the process for rendering
226
  taxonomy terms to invoke hook_entity_view() and otherwise make it consistent
227
  with other entities (API change: http://drupal.org/node/1808870).
228
- Added hook_entity_view_mode_alter() to allow modules to change entity view
229
  modes on display (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1833086).
230
- Fixed a bug which made database queries running a "LIKE" query on blob fields
231
  fail on PostgreSQL databases. This caused errors during the Drupal 6 to
232
  Drupal 7 upgrade.
233
- Changed the hook_menu() entry for Drupal's rss.xml page to prevent extra path
234
  components from being accidentally passed to the page callback function (data
235
  structure change).
236
- Removed a non-standard "name" attribute from Drupal's default Content-Type
237
  header for file downloads.
238
- Fixed the theme settings form to properly clean up submitted values in
239
  $form_state['values'] when the form is submitted (data structure change).
240
- Fixed an inconsistency by removing the colon from the end of the label on
241
  multi-valued form fields (minor string change).
242
- Added support for 'weight' in hook_field_widget_info() to allow modules to
243
  control the order in which widgets are displayed in the Field UI.
244
- Updated various tables in the OpenID and Book modules to use the default
245
  "empty table" text pattern (string change).
246
- Added proxy server support to drupal_http_request().
247
- Added "lang" attributes to language links, to better support screen readers.
248
- Fixed double occurrence of a "ul" HTML tag on secondary local tasks in the
249
  Seven theme (markup change).
250
- Fixed bugs which caused taxonomy vocabulary and shortcut set titles to be
251
  double-escaped. The fix replaces the taxonomy vocabulary overview page and
252
  "Edit shortcuts" menu items' title callback entries in hook_menu() with new
253
  functions that do not escape HTML characters (data structure change).
254
- Modified the Update manager module to allow drupal.org to collect usage
255
  statistics for individual modules and themes, rather than only for entire
256
  projects.
257
- Modified the node listing database query on Drupal's default front page to
258
  add table aliases for better query altering (this is a data structure change
259
  affecting code which implements hook_query_alter() on this query).
260
- Improved the translatability of the "Field type(s) in use" message on the
261
  modules page (admin-facing string change).
262
- Fixed a regression which caused a "call to undefined function
263
  drupal_find_base_themes()" fatal error under rare circumstances.
264
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
265
- Additional automated test coverage.
266

    
267
Drupal 7.16, 2012-10-17
268
-----------------------
269
- Fixed security issues (Arbitrary PHP code execution and information
270
  disclosure). See SA-CORE-2012-003.
271

    
272
Drupal 7.15, 2012-08-01
273
-----------------------
274
- Introduced a 'user_password_reset_timeout' variable to allow the 24-hour
275
  expiration for user password reset links to be adjusted (API addition).
276
- Fixed database errors due to ambiguous column names that occurred when
277
  EntityFieldQuery was used in certain situations.
278
- Changed the drupal_array_get_nested_value() function to return a reference
279
  (API addition).
280
- Changed the System module's hook_block_info() implementation to assign the
281
  "Main page content" and "System help" blocks to appropriate regions by
282
  default and prevent error messages on the block administration page (data
283
  structure change).
284
- Fixed regression: Non-node entities couldn't be accessed with
285
  EntityFieldQuery.
286
- Fixed regression: Optional radio buttons with an empty, non-NULL default
287
  value led to an illegal choice error when none were selected.
288
- Reorganized the testing framework to split setUp() into specific sub-methods
289
  and fix several regressions in the process.
290
- Fixed bug which made it impossible to search for strings that have not been
291
  translated into a particular language.
292
- Renamed the "Field" column on the Manage Fields screen to "Field type", since
293
  the former was confusing and inaccurate (UI change).
294
- Performance improvement: Removed needless call to system_rebuild_module_data()
295
  in field_sync_field_status(), greatly speeding up bulk module enable/disable.
296
- Fixed bug which prevented notifications from being sent when core, module, and
297
  theme updates are available.
298
- Fixed bug which prevented sub-themes from inheriting the default values of
299
  theme settings defined by the base theme.
300
- Fixed bug which prevented the jQuery UI Datepicker from being localized.
301
- Made Ajax alert dialogs respect error reporting settings.
302
- Fixed bug which prevented image styles from being deleted on PHP 5.4.
303
- Fixed bug: Language detection by domain only worked on port 80.
304
- Fixed regression: The first plural index on a page was not calculated
305
  correctly.
306
- Introduced generic entity language support. Entities may now declare their
307
  language property in hook_entity_info(), and modules working with entities
308
  may access the language using entity_language() (API change:
309
  http://drupal.org/node/1626346).
310
- Added EntityFieldQuery support for taxonomy bundles.
311
- Fixed issue where field form structure was incomplete if field_access()
312
  returned FALSE. Instead of being incomplete, the form structure now has
313
  #access set to FALSE and field form validation is skipped (data structure
314
  change: http://drupal.org/node/1663020).
315
- Fixed data loss issue due to field_has_data() returning inconsistent results.
316
  The fix adds an optional DANGEROUS_ACCESS_CHECK_OPT_OUT tag to entity field
317
  queries which field storage engines can respond to (API addition:
318
  http://drupal.org/node/1597378).
319
- Fixed notice: Undefined index: default_image in image_field_prepare_view()
320
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
321
- Additional automated test coverage.
322

    
323

324
----------------------
325
- Fixed "integrity constraint" fatal errors when rebuilding registry.

333
  selected.
334
- Fixed allow autocompletion requests to include slashes.
335
- Eliminate $user->cache and {session}.cache in favor of
336
  $_SESSION['cache_expiration'][$bin] (Performance).
337
- Fixed focus jumps to tab when pressing enter on a form element within tab.
338
- Fixed race condition in locale() - duplicates in {locales_source}.
339
- Fixed Missing "Default image" per field instance.
340
- Quit clobbering people's work when they click the filter tips link
341
- Form API #states: Fix conditionals to allow OR and XOR constructions.
342
- Fixed Focus jumps to tab when pressing enter on a form element within tab.
343
  (Accessibility)
344
- Improved performance of node_access queries.
345
- Fixed Fieldsets inside vertical tabs have no title and can't be collapsed.
346
- Reduce size of cache_menu table (Performance).
347
- Fixed unnecessary aggregation of CSS/JS (Performance).
348
- Fixed taxonomy_autocomplete() produces SQL error for nonexistent field.
349
- Fixed HTML filter is not run first by default, despite default weight.
350
- Fixed Overlay does not work with prefixed URL paths.
351
- Better debug info for field errors (string change).
352
- Fixed Data corruption in comment IDs (results in broken threading on
353
  PostgreSQL).
354
- Fixed machine name not editable if every character is replaced.
355
- Fixed user picture not appearing in comment preview (Markup change).
356
- Added optional vid argument for taxonomy_get_term_by_name().
357
- Fixed Invalid Unicode code range in PREG_CLASS_UNICODE_WORD_BOUNDARY fails
358
  with PCRE 8.30.
359
- Fixed {trigger_assignments()}.hook has only 32 characters, is too short.
360

361
- Fixed Tests in profiles/[name]/modules cannot be run and cannot use a
362
  different profile for running tests.
363
- Numerous JavaScript performance fixes.
364
- Numerous documentation fixes.
365
- Fixed All pager links have an 'active' CSS class.
366

368
    case.
369
  - system_update_7061() converts filepaths too aggressively.
370
  - Trigger upgrade path: Node triggers removed when upgrading to 7-x from 6.25.
371

547

    
548
Drupal 7.0, 2011-01-05 
549
----------------------
550
- Database:
551
    * Fully rewritten database layer utilizing PHP 5's PDO abstraction layer.
552
    * Drupal now requires MySQL >= 5.0.15 or PostgreSQL >= 8.3.
553
    * Added query builders for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, and SELECT queries.
554
    * Support for master/slave replication, transactions, multi-insert queries,
555
      and other features.
556
    * Added support for the SQLite database engine.
557
    * Default to InnoDB engine, rather than MyISAM, on MySQL when available.
558
      This offers increased scalability and data integrity.
559
- Security:
560
    * Protected cron.php -- cron will only run if the proper key is provided.
561
    * Implemented a pluggable password system and much stronger password hashes
562
      that are compatible with the Portable PHP password hashing framework.
563
    * Rate limited login attempts to prevent brute-force password guessing, and
564
      improved the flood control API to allow variable time windows and
565
      identifiers for limiting user access to resources.
566
    * Transformed the "Update status" module into the "Update manager" which
567
      can securely install or update modules and themes via a web interface.
568
- Usability:
569
    * Added contextual links (a.k.a. local tasks) to page elements, such as
570
      blocks, nodes, or comments, which allows to perform the most common tasks
571
      with a single click only.
572
    * Improved installer requirements check.
573
    * Improved support for integration of WYSIWYG editors.
574
    * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for input format listings.
575
    * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for language listing.
576
    * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for poll options.
577
    * Provided descriptions and human-readable names for user permissions.
578
    * Removed comment controls for users.
579
    * Removed display order settings for comment module. Comment display
580
      order can now be customized using the Views module.
581
    * Removed the 'related terms' feature from taxonomy module since this can
582
      now be achieved with Field API.
583
    * Added additional features to the default installation profile, and
584
      implemented a "slimmed down" profile designed for developers.
585
    * Added a built-in, automated cron run feature, which is triggered by site
586
      visitors.
587
    * Added an administrator role which is assigned all permissions for
588
      installed modules automatically.
589
    * Image toolkits are now provided by modules (rather than requiring a
590
      manual file copy to the includes directory).
591
    * Added an edit tab to taxonomy term pages.
592
    * Redesigned password strength validator.
593
    * Redesigned the add content type screen.
594
    * Highlight duplicate URL aliases.
595
    * Renamed "input formats" to "text formats".
596
    * Moved text format permissions to the main permissions page.
597
    * Added configurable ability for users to cancel their own accounts.
598
    * Added "vertical tabs", a reusable interface component that features
599
      automatic summaries and increases usability.
600
    * Replaced fieldsets on node edit and add pages with vertical tabs.
601
- Performance:
602
    * Improved performance on uncached page views by loading multiple core
603
      objects in a single database query.
604
    * Improved performance for logged-in users by reducing queries for path
605
      alias lookups.
606
    * Improved support for HTTP proxies (including reverse proxies), allowing
607
      anonymous page views to be served entirely from the proxy.
608
- Documentation:
609
    * Hook API documentation now included in Drupal core.
610
- News aggregator:
611
    * Added OPML import functionality for RSS feeds.
612
    * Optionally, RSS feeds may be configured to not automatically generate feed blocks.
613
- Search:
614
    * Added support for language-aware searches.
615
- Aggregator:
616
    * Introduced architecture that allows pluggable parsers and processors for
617
      syndicating RSS and Atom feeds.
618
    * Added options to suspend updating specific feeds and never discard feeds
619
      items.
620
- Testing:
621
    * Added test framework and tests.
622
- Improved time zone support:
623
    * Drupal now uses PHP's time zone database when rendering dates in local
624
      time. Site-wide and user-configured time zone offsets have been converted
625
      to time zone names, e.g. Africa/Abidjan.
626
    * In some cases the upgrade and install scripts do not choose the preferred
627
      site default time zone. The automatically-selected time zone can be
628
      corrected at admin/config/regional/settings.
629
    * If your site is being upgraded from Drupal 6 and you do not have the
630
      contributed date or event modules installed, user time zone settings will
631
      fallback to the system time zone and will have to be reconfigured by each user.
632
    * User-configured time zones now serve as the default time zone for PHP
633
      date/time functions.
634
- Filter system:
635
    * Revamped the filter API and text format storage.
636
    * Added support for default text formats to be assigned on a per-role basis.
637
    * Refactored the HTML corrector to take advantage of PHP 5 features.
638
- User system:
639
    * Added clean API functions for creating, loading, updating, and deleting
640
      user roles and permissions.
641
    * Refactored the "access rules" component of user module: The user module
642
      now provides a simple interface for blocking single IP addresses. The
643
      previous functionality in the user module for restricting certain e-mail
644
      addresses and usernames is now available as a contributed module. Further,
645
      IP address range blocking is no longer supported and should be implemented
646
      at the operating system level.
647
    * Removed per-user themes: Contributed modules with similar functionality
648
      are available.
649
- OpenID:
650
    * Added support for Gmail and Google Apps for Domain identifiers. Users can
651
      now login with their user@example.com identifier when example.com is powered
652
      by Google.
653
    * Made the OpenID module more pluggable.
654
- Added code registry:
655
    * Using the registry, modules declare their includable files via their .info file,
656
      allowing Drupal to lazy-load classes and interfaces as needed.
657
- Theme system:
658
    * Removed the Bluemarine, Chameleon and Pushbutton themes. These themes live
659
      on as contributed themes (http://drupal.org/project/bluemarine,
660
      http://drupal.org/project/chameleon and http://drupal.org/project/pushbutton).
661
    * Added Stark theme to make analyzing Drupal's default HTML and CSS easier.
662
    * Added Seven as the default administration theme.
663
    * Variable preprocessing of theme hooks prior to template rendering now goes
664
      through two phases: a 'preprocess' phase and a new 'process' phase. See
665
      http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
666
    * Theme hooks implemented as functions (rather than as templates) can now
667
      also have preprocess (and process) functions. See
668
      http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
669
    * Added Bartik as the default theme.
670
- File handling:
671
    * Files are now first class Drupal objects with file_load(), file_save(),
672
      and file_validate() functions and corresponding hooks.
673
    * The file_move(), file_copy() and file_delete() functions now operate on
674
      file objects and invoke file hooks so that modules are notified and can
675
      respond to changes.
676
    * For the occasions when only basic file manipulation are needed--such as
677
      uploading a site logo--that don't require the overhead of databases and
678
      hooks, the current unmanaged copy, move and delete operations have been
679
      preserved but renamed to file_unmanaged_*().
680
    * Rewrote file handling to use PHP stream wrappers to enable support for
681
      both public and private files and to support pluggable storage mechanisms
682
      and access to remote resources (e.g. S3 storage or Flickr photos).
683
    * The mime_extension_mapping variable has been removed. Modules that need to
684
      alter the default MIME type extension mappings should implement
685
      hook_file_mimetype_mapping_alter().
686
    * Added the hook_file_url_alter() hook, which makes it possible to serve
687
      files from a CDN.
688
    * Added a field specifically for uploading files, previously provided by
689
      the contributed module FileField.
690
- Image handling:
691
    * Improved image handling, including better support for add-on image
692
      libraries.
693
    * Added API and interface for creating advanced image thumbnails.
694
    * Inclusion of additional effects such as rotate and desaturate.
695
    * Added a field specifically for uploading images, previously provided by
696
      the contributed module ImageField.
697
- Added aliased multi-site support:
698
    * Added support for mapping domain names to sites directories.
699
- Added RDF support:
700
    * Modules can declare RDF namespaces which are serialized in the <html> tag
701
      for RDFa support.
702
    * Modules can specify how their data structure maps to RDF.
703
    * Added support for RDFa export of nodes, comments, terms, users, etc. and
704
      their fields.
705
- Search engine optimization and web linking:
706
    * Added a rel="canonical" link on node and comment pages to prevent
707
      duplicate content indexing by search engines.
708
    * Added a default rel="shortlink" link on node and comment pages that
709
      advertises a short link as an alternative URL to third-party services.
710
    * Meta information is now alterable by all modules before rendering.
711
- Field API:
712
    * Custom data fields may be attached to nodes, users, comments and taxonomy
713
      terms.
714
    * Node bodies and teasers are now Field API fields instead of
715
      being a hard-coded property of node objects.
716
    * In addition, any other object type may register with Field API
717
      and allow custom data fields to be attached to itself.
718
    * Provides most of the features of the former Content Construction
719
      Kit (CCK) module.
720
    * Taxonomy terms are now Field API fields that can be added to any fieldable
721
      object.
722
- Installer:
723
    * Refactored the installer into an API that allows Drupal to be installed
724
      via a command line script.
725
- Page organization
726
    * Made the help text area a full featured region with blocks.
727
    * Site mission is replaced with the highlighted content block region and
728
      separate RSS feed description settings.
729
    * The footer message setting was removed in favor of custom blocks.
730
    * Made the main page content a block which can be moved and ordered
731
      with other blocks in the same region.
732
    * Blocks can now return structured arrays for later rendering just
733
      like page callbacks.
734
- Translation system
735
    * The translation system now supports message context (msgctxt).
736
    * Added support for translatable fields to Field API.
737
- JavaScript changes
738
    * Upgraded the core JavaScript library to jQuery version 1.4.4.
739
    * Upgraded the jQuery Forms library to 2.52.
740
    * Added jQuery UI 1.8.7, which allows improvements to Drupal's user
741
      experience.
742
- Better module version support
743
    * Modules now can specify which version of another module they depend on.
744
- Removed modules from core
745
    * The following modules have been removed from core, because contributed
746
      modules with similar functionality are available:
747
      * Blog API module
748
      * Ping module
749
      * Throttle module
750
- Improved node access control system.
751
    * All modules may now influence the access to a node at runtime, not just
752
      the module that defined a node.
753
    * Users may now be allowed to bypass node access restrictions without giving
754
      them complete access to the site.
755
    * Access control affects both published and unpublished nodes.
756
    * Numerous other improvements to the node access system.
757
- Actions system
758
    * Simplified definitions of actions and triggers.
759
    * Removed dependency on the combination of hooks and operations. Triggers
760
      now directly map to module hooks.
761
- Task handling
762
    * Added a queue API to process many or long-running tasks.
763
    * Added queue API support to cron API.
764
    * Added a locking framework to coordinate long-running operations across
765
      requests.

1727
Drupal 3.0.0, 2001-09-15
1728
------------------------
1729
- Major overhaul of the entire underlying design:
1730
    * 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.
1731
- Rewrote submission/moderation queue and renamed it to queue.module.
1732
- Removed FAQ and documentation module and merged them into a "book module".
1733

1735
- Rewrote watchdog and submission throttle:
1736
    * Improved watchdog messages and added watchdog filter.
1737

1740
    * Supports unlimited amount of nested topics. Topics can be nested to create a multi-level hierarchy.
1741
- Rewrote configuration file resolving:

    * 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.
1743
- Added caching support which makes Drupal extremely scalable.
1744
- Added access.module:
1745

1746
- Added blog.module.
1747
- Added poll.module.
1748
- Added system.module:

1769
    * Added preview functionality when submitting new content (such as a story) from the administration pages.
1770
    * Made the administration section only show those links a user has access to.
1771
    * Made all modules use specific form_* functions to guarantee a rock-solid forms and more consistent layout.

1773

1790
Drupal 2.0.0, 2001-03-15
1791
------------------------
1792
- Rewrote the comment/discussion code:
1793
    * Comment navigation should be less confusing now.
1794
    * Additional/alternative display and order methods have been added.
1795
    * Modules can be extended with a "comment system": modules can embed the existing comment system without having to write their own, duplicate comment system.
1796
- Added sections and section manager:
1797
    * Story sections can be maintained from the administration pages.
1798
    * 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.
1799
- Multiple vhosts + multiple directories:
1800
    * You can set up multiple Drupal sites on top of the same physical source tree either by using vhosts or sub-directories.
1801
- Added "user ratings" similar to SlashCode's Karma or Scoop's Mojo:
1802
    * All rating logic is packed into a module to ease experimenting with different rating heuristics/algorithms.
1803
- Added "search infrastructure":
1804
    * Improved search page and integrated search functionality in the administration pages.
1805
- Added translation / localization / internationalization support:
1806
    * 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.
1807
- Added fine-grained user permission (or group) system:
1808
    * 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.
1809
- Added FAQ module
1810
- Changed the "open submission queue" into a (optional) module.
1811

    * Improved watchdog module
1822
