Drupal 7.28, 2014-05-08

-----------------------

- Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.27 that caused JavaScript to break

  on older browsers (such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier) when Ajax was

  used.

- Increased the timeout used by the Update Manager module when it fetches data

  from drupal.org (from 5 seconds to 30 seconds), to work around a problem

  which causes incomplete information about security updates to be presented to

  site administrators. This fix may lead to a performance slowdown on the

  Update Manager administration pages, when installing Drupal distributions,

  and (for sites that use the automated cron feature) on occasional page loads

  by site visitors.

- Fixed the behavior of the token system's "[node:summary]" token when the body

  field does not have a manual summary.

- Changed the behavior of db_query_temporary() so that it works on SELECT

  queries even when they have leading comments/whitespace. A side effect of

  this fix is that db_query_temporary() will now fail with an error if it is

  ever used on non-SELECT queries.

- Added a "node_admin_filter" tag to the database query used to build the list

  of nodes on the content administration page, to make it easier to alter.

- Made the cron queue system log any exceptions that are thrown while an item

  in the queue is being processed, rather than stopping the entire PHP request.

- Improved screen reader support by adding an aria-live HTML attribute to file

  upload fields when there is an error uploading the file (minor markup

  change).

- Made the pager on the Tracker module listing pages show the same number of

  items as other pagers throughout Drupal core (minor UI change).

- Fixed a bug which caused caches not to be properly cleared when a file entity

  was saved or deleted.

- Added several missing countries to the default list returned by

  country_get_list() (string change).

- Replaced the term "weight" with "influence" in the content ranking settings

  for search, and added help text for administrators (string change).

- Fixed untranslatable text strings in the administrative interface for the

  "Crop" effect provided by the Image module (minor string change).

- Fixed a bug in the Taxonomy module update function introduced in Drupal 7.26

  that caused memory and CPU problems on sites with very large numbers of

  unpublished nodes.

- Numerous small bug fixes.

- Numerous API documentation improvements.

- Additional automated test coverage.
