1

    
2
Drupal 7.41, 2015-10-21
3
-----------------------
4
- Fixed security issues (open redirect). See SA-CORE-2015-004.
5

    
6
Drupal 7.40, 2015-10-14
7
-----------------------
8
- Made Drupal's code for parsing .info files run much faster and use much less
9
  memory.
10
- Prevented drupal_http_request() from returning an error when it receives a
11
  201 through 206 HTTP status code.
12
- Added support for autoloading traits via the registry on sites running PHP
13
  5.4 or higher.
14
- Allowed the user-picture.tpl.php theme template to have HTML classes besides
15
  the default "user-picture" class printed in it (markup change).
16
- Fixed the URL text filter to convert e-mail addresses with plus signs into
17
  mailto: links.
18
- Added alternate text to file icons displayed by the File module, to improve
19
  accessibility (string change, and minor API addition to theme_file_icon()).
20
- Changed one-time login link failure messages to be displayed as errors or
21
  warnings as appropriate, rather than as regular status messages (minor UI
22
  change and data structure change).
23
- Changed the default settings.php configuration to exclude private files from
24
  the "404_fast_paths" behavior.
25
- Changed the page that displays filter tips for a particular text format, for
26
  example filter/tips/full_html, to return "page not found" or "access denied"
27
  if the format does not exist or the user does not have access to it. This
28
  change adds a new menu item to the Filter module's hook_menu() entry (minor
29
  data structure change).
30
- Added a new hook, hook_block_cid_parts_alter(), to allow modules to alter the
31
  cache keys used for caching a particular block.
32
- Made drupal_set_message() display and return messages when "0" is passed in
33
  as the message to set.
34
- Fixed non-functional "Files displayed by default" setting on file fields.
35
- The "worker callback" provided in hook_cron_queue_info() and the "finished"
36
  callback specified during batch processing can now be any PHP callable
37
  instead of just functions.
38
- Prevented drupal_set_time_limit() from decreasing the time limit in the case
39
  where the PHP maximum execution time is already unlimited.
40
- Changed the default thousand marker for numeric fields from a space ("1 000")
41
  to nothing ("1000") (minor UI change: https://www.drupal.org/node/1388376).
42
- Prevented malformed theme .info files (without a "name" key) from causing
43
  exceptions during menu rebuilds. If an .info file without a "name" key is
44
  found in a module or theme directory, Drupal will now use the module or
45
  theme's machine name as the display name instead.
46
- Made the format column in the {date_format_locale} database table
47
  case-sensitive, to match the equivalent column in the {date_formats} table.
48
- Fixed a bug in the Statistics module that caused JavaScript files attached to
49
  a node while it is being viewed to be omitted from the page.
50
- Added an optional 'project:' prefix that can be added to dependencies in a
51
  module's .info file to indicate which project the dependency resides in (API
52
  addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2299747).
53
- Fixed various bugs that occurred after hooks were invoked early in the Drupal
54
  bootstrap and that caused module_implements() and drupal_alter() to cache an
55
  incomplete set of hook implementations for later use.
56
- Set the X-Content-Type-Options header to "nosniff" when possible, to prevent
57
  certain web browsers from picking an unsafe MIME type.
58
- Prevented the database API from executing multiple queries at once on MySQL,
59
  if the site's PHP version is new enough to do so. This is a secondary defense
60
  against SQL injection (API change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2463973).
61
- Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused the upgrade
62
  to fail when there were multiple file records pointing to the same file.
63
- Numerous small bug fixes.
64
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
65
- Additional automated test coverage.
66

    
67
Drupal 7.39, 2015-08-19
68
-----------------------
69
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-003.
70

    
71
Drupal 7.38, 2015-06-17
72
-----------------------
73
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-002.
74

    
75
Drupal 7.37, 2015-05-07
76
-----------------------
77
- Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.36 which caused certain kinds of content types
78
  to become disabled if they were defined by a no-longer-enabled module.
79
- Removed a confusing description regarding automatic time zone detection from
80
  the user account form (minor UI and data structure change).
81
- Allowed custom HTML tags with a dash in the name to pass through filter_xss()
82
  when specified in the list of allowed tags.
83
- Allowed hook_field_schema() implementations to specify indexes for fields
84
  based on a fixed-length column prefix (rather than the entire column), as was
85
  already allowed in hook_schema() implementations.
86
- Fixed PDO exceptions on PostgreSQL when accessing invalid entity URLs.
87
- Added a sites/all/libraries folder to the codebase, with instructions for
88
  using it.
89
- Added a description to the "Administer text formats and filters" permission
90
  on the Permissions page (string change).
91
- Numerous small bug fixes.
92
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
93
- Additional automated test coverage.
94

    
95
Drupal 7.36, 2015-04-01
96
-----------------------
97
- Added a 'file_public_schema' variable which allows modules that define
98
  publicly-accessible streams in hook_stream_wrappers() to bypass file download
99
  access checks when processing managed file upload fields.
100
- Fixed a bug that caused database query tags not to be added to search-related
101
  database queries under many circumstances, and which prevented the
102
  corresponding hook_query_TAG_alter() implementations from being called.
103
- Fixed the "for" attribute on managed file upload field labels to improve
104
  accessibility (minor markup change).
105
- Added a 'javascript_always_use_jquery' variable which can be set to FALSE by
106
  sites that may not need jQuery loaded on all pages, and a 'requires_jquery'
107
  option to drupal_add_js() which modules can set to FALSE when adding
108
  JavaScript files that have no dependency on jQuery (API addition:
109
  https://www.drupal.org/node/2462717).
110
- Fixed incorrect foreign keys in the User module's role_permission and
111
  users_roles database tables.
112
- Changed permission descriptions throughout Drupal core to consistently link
113
  to relevant administrative pages, regardless of whether the user viewing the
114
  Permissions page can view the page being linked to (minor UI change).
115
- Fixed the drupal_add_region_content() function so that it actually adds
116
  content to the page.
117
- Added an 'image_suppress_itok_output' variable to allow sites already using
118
  the existing 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to also prevent
119
  security tokens from appearing in image derivative URLs.
120
- Fixed double-escaping of theme names in the Block module administrative
121
  interface (minor string change).
122
- Added basic support for Xdebug when running automated tests.
123
- Fixed a bug which caused previewing a node to remove elements from the node
124
  being edited. With this fix, calling node_preview() will no longer modify the
125
  passed-in node object (minor API change).
126
- Added a user_has_role() function to check whether a user has a particular
127
  role (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2462411).
128
- Fixed installation failures when an opcode cache is enabled.
129
- Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused private
130
  files to be inaccessible.
131
- Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused user
132
  pictures to be lost.
133
- Fixed missing language code in hook_field_attach_view_alter() when it is
134
  invoked from field_view_field().
135
- Stopped sending ETag and Last-Modified headers for uncached page requests,
136
  since they break caching for certain Varnish and Nginx configurations.
137
- Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-4 test classes to be used in
138
  Drupal 7.
139
- Fixed a fatal error that occurred when using the Comment module's "Unpublish
140
  comment containing keyword(s)" action.
141
- Changed the "lang" attribute on language links to "xml:lang" so it validates
142
  as XHTML (minor markup change).
143
- Prevented the form API from allowing arrays to be submitted for various form
144
  elements, such as textfields, textareas, and password fields (API change:
145
  https://www.drupal.org/node/2462723).
146
- Fixed a bug in the Contact module which caused the global user object to have
147
  the incorrect name and e-mail address during the remainder of the page
148
  request after the contact form is submitted.
149
- Numerous small bug fixes.
150
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
151
- Additional automated test coverage.
152

    
153
Drupal 7.35, 2015-03-18
154
-----------------------
155
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-001.
156

    
157
Drupal 7.34, 2014-11-19
158
-----------------------
159
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-006.
160

    
161
Drupal 7.33, 2014-11-07
162
-----------------------
163
- Began storing the file modification time of each module and theme in the
164
  {system} database table so that contributed modules can use it to identify
165
  recently changed modules and themes (minor data structure change to the
166
  return value of system_get_info() and other related functions).
167
- Added a "Did you mean?" feature to the run-tests.sh script for running
168
  automated tests from the command line, to help developers who are attempting
169
  to run a particular test class or group.
170
- Changed the date format used in various HTTP headers output by Drupal core
171
  from RFC 1123 format to RFC 7231 format.
172
- Added a "block_cache_bypass_node_grants" variable to allow sites which have
173
  node access modules enabled to use the block cache if desired (API addition).
174
- Made image derivative generation HTTP requests return a 404 error (rather
175
  than a 500 error) when the source image does not exist.
176
- Fixed a bug which caused user pictures to be removed from the user object
177
  after saving, and resulted in data loss if the user account was subsequently
178
  re-saved.
179
- Fixed a bug in which field_has_data() did not return TRUE for fields that
180
  only had data in older entity revisions, leading to loss of the field's data
181
  when the field configuration was edited.
182
- Fixed a bug which caused the Ajax progress throbber to appear misaligned in
183
  many situatons (minor styling change).
184
- Prevented the Bartik theme from lower-casing the "Permalink" link on
185
  comments, for improved multilingual support (minor UI change).
186
- Added a "preferred_menu_links" tag to the database query that is used by
187
  menu_link_get_preferred() to find the preferred menu link for a given path,
188
  to make it easier to alter.
189
- Increased the maximum allowed length of block titles to 255 characters
190
  (database schema change to the {block} table).
191
- Removed the Field module's field_modules_uninstalled() function, since it did
192
  not do anything when it was invoked.
193
- Added a "theme_hook_original" variable to templates and theme functions and
194
  an optional sitewide theme debug mode, to provide contextual information in
195
  the page's HTML to theme developers. The theme debug mode is based on the one
196
  used with Twig in Drupal 8 and can be accessed by setting the "theme_debug"
197
  variable to TRUE (API addition).
198
- Added an entity_view_mode_prepare() API function to allow entity-defining
199
  modules to properly invoke hook_entity_view_mode_alter(), and used it
200
  throughout Drupal core to fix bugs with the invocation of that hook (API
201
  change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2369141).
202
- Security improvement: Made the database API's orderBy() method sanitize the
203
  sort direction ("ASC" or "DESC") for queries built with db_select(), so that
204
  calling code does not have to.
205
- Changed the RDF module to consistently output RDF metadata for nodes and
206
  comments near where the node is rendered in the HTML (minor markup and data
207
  structure change).
208
- Added an HTML class to RDFa metatags throughout Drupal to prevent them from
209
  accidentally affecting the site appearance (minor markup change).
210
- Fixed a bug in the Unicode requirements check which prevented installing
211
  Drupal on PHP 5.6.
212
- Fixed a bug which caused drupal_get_bootstrap_phase() to abort the bootstrap
213
  when called early in the page request.
214
- Renamed the "Search result" view mode to "Search result highlighting input"
215
  to better reflect how it is used (UI change).
216
- Improved database queries generated by EntityFieldQuery in the case where
217
  delta or language condition groups are used, to reduce the number of INNER
218
  JOINs (this is a minor data structure change affecting code which implements
219
  hook_query_alter() on these queries).
220
- Removed special-case behavior for file uploads which allowed user #1 to
221
  bypass maximum file size and user quota limits.
222
- Numerous small bug fixes.
223
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
224
- Additional automated test coverage.
225

    
226
Drupal 7.32, 2014-10-15
227
-----------------------
228
- Fixed security issues (SQL injection). See SA-CORE-2014-005.
229

    
230
Drupal 7.31, 2014-08-06
231
-----------------------
232
- Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2014-004.
233

    
234
Drupal 7.30, 2014-07-24
235
-----------------------
236
- Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.29 that caused files or images
237
  attached to taxonomy terms to be deleted when the taxonomy term was edited
238
  and resaved (and other related bugs with contributed and custom modules).
239
- Added a warning on the permissions page to recommend restricting access to
240
  the "View site reports" permission to trusted administrators. See
241
  DRUPAL-PSA-2014-002.
242
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
243
- Additional automated test coverage.
244

    
245
Drupal 7.29, 2014-07-16
246
-----------------------
247
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-003.
248

    
249
Drupal 7.28, 2014-05-08
250
-----------------------
251
- Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.27 that caused JavaScript to break
252
  on older browsers (such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier) when Ajax was
253
  used.
254
- Increased the timeout used by the Update Manager module when it fetches data
255
  from drupal.org (from 5 seconds to 30 seconds), to work around a problem
256
  which causes incomplete information about security updates to be presented to
257
  site administrators. This fix may lead to a performance slowdown on the
258
  Update Manager administration pages, when installing Drupal distributions,
259
  and (for sites that use the automated cron feature) on occasional page loads
260
  by site visitors.
261
- Fixed the behavior of the token system's "[node:summary]" token when the body
262
  field does not have a manual summary.
263
- Changed the behavior of db_query_temporary() so that it works on SELECT
264
  queries even when they have leading comments/whitespace. A side effect of
265
  this fix is that db_query_temporary() will now fail with an error if it is
266
  ever used on non-SELECT queries.
267
- Added a "node_admin_filter" tag to the database query used to build the list
268
  of nodes on the content administration page, to make it easier to alter.
269
- Made the cron queue system log any exceptions that are thrown while an item
270
  in the queue is being processed, rather than stopping the entire PHP request.
271
- Improved screen reader support by adding an aria-live HTML attribute to file
272
  upload fields when there is an error uploading the file (minor markup
273
  change).
274
- Made the pager on the Tracker module listing pages show the same number of
275
  items as other pagers throughout Drupal core (minor UI change).
276
- Fixed a bug which caused caches not to be properly cleared when a file entity
277
  was saved or deleted.
278
- Added several missing countries to the default list returned by
279
  country_get_list() (string change).
280
- Replaced the term "weight" with "influence" in the content ranking settings
281
  for search, and added help text for administrators (string change).
282
- Fixed untranslatable text strings in the administrative interface for the
283
  "Crop" effect provided by the Image module (minor string change).
284
- Fixed a bug in the Taxonomy module update function introduced in Drupal 7.26
285
  that caused memory and CPU problems on sites with very large numbers of
286
  unpublished nodes.
287
- Numerous small bug fixes.
288
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
289
- Additional automated test coverage.
290

    
291
Drupal 7.27, 2014-04-16
292
-----------------------
293
- Fixed security issues (information disclosure). See SA-CORE-2014-002.
294

    
295
Drupal 7.26, 2014-01-15
296
-----------------------
297
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-001.
298

    
299
Drupal 7.25, 2014-01-02
300
-----------------------
301
- Fixed a bug in node_save() which prevented the saved node from being updated
302
  in hook_node_insert() and other similar hooks.
303
- Added a meta tag to install.php to prevent it from being indexed by search
304
  engines even when Drupal is installed in a subfolder (minor markup change).
305
- Fixed a bug in the database API that caused frequent deadlock errors when
306
  running merge queries on some servers.
307
- Performance improvement: Prevented block rehashing from writing blocks to the
308
  database on every cache clear and cron run when the blocks have not changed.
309
  This fix results in an extra 'saved' key which is added and set to TRUE for
310
  each block returned by _block_rehash() that actually is saved to the database
311
  (data structure change).
312
- Added an optional 'skip on cron' parameter to hook_cron_queue_info() to allow
313
  queues to avoid being automatically processed on cron runs (API addition).
314
- Fixed a bug which caused hook_block_view_MODULE_DELTA_alter() to never be
315
  invoked if the block delta had a hyphen in it. To implement the hook when the
316
  block delta has a hyphen, modules should now replace hyphens with underscores
317
  when constructing the function name for the hook implementation.
318
- Fixed a bug which caused cached pages to sometimes be sent to the browser
319
  with incorrect compression. The fix adds a new 'page_compressed' key to the
320
  $cache->data array returned by drupal_page_get_cache() (minor data structure
321
  change).
322
- Fixed broken tests on PHP 5.5.
323
- Made the File and Image modules more robust when saving entities that have
324
  deleted files attached. The code in file_field_presave() will now remove the
325
  record of the deleted file from the entity before saving (minor data
326
  structure change).
327
- Standardized menu callback functions throughout Drupal core to return
328
  MENU_NOT_FOUND and MENU_ACCESS_DENIED rather than printing their own "page
329
  not found" or "access denied" pages (minor API change in the return value of
330
  these functions under some circumstances).
331
- Fixed a bug in which caches were not properly cleared when a node was deleted
332
  via the administrative interface.
333
- Changed the Bartik theme to render content contained in <pre>, <code> and
334
  similar tags in a larger font size, so it is easier to read.
335
- Fixed a bug in the Search module that caused exceptions to be thrown during
336
  searches if the server was not configured to represent decimal points as a
337
  period.
338
- Fixed a regression in the Image module that made image_style_url() not work
339
  when a relative path (rather than a complete file URI) was passed to it.
340
- Added an optional feature to the Statistics module to allow node views to be
341
  tracked by Ajax requests rather than during the server-side generation of the
342
  page. This allows the node counter to work on sites that use external page
343
  caches (string change and new administrative option:
344
  https://drupal.org/node/2164069).
345
- Added a link to the drupal.org documentation page for cron to the Cron
346
  settings page (string change).
347
- Added a 'drupal_anonymous_user_object' variable to allow the anonymous user
348
  object returned by drupal_anonymous_user() to be overridden with a classed
349
  object (API addition).
350
- Changed the database API to allow inserts based on a SELECT * query to work
351
  correctly.
352
- Changed the database schema of the {file_managed} table to allow Drupal to
353
  manage files larger than 4 GB.
354
- Changed the File module's hook_field_load() implementation to prevent file
355
  entity properties which have the same name as file or image field properties
356
  from overwriting the field properties (minor API change).
357
- Numerous small bug fixes.
358
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
359
- Additional automated test coverage.
360

    
361
Drupal 7.24, 2013-11-20
362
-----------------------
363
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities), see SA-CORE-2013-003.
364

    
365
Drupal 7.23, 2013-08-07
366
-----------------------
367
- Fixed a fatal error on PostgreSQL databases when updating the Taxonomy module
368
  from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.
369
- Fixed the default ordering of CSS files for sites using right-to-left
370
  languages, to consistently place the right-to-left override file immediately
371
  after the CSS it is overriding (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058463).
372
- Added a drupal_check_memory_limit() API function to allow the memory limit to
373
  be checked consistently (API addition).
374
- Changed the default web.config file for IIS servers to allow favicon.ico
375
  files which are present in the filesystem to be accessed.
376
- Fixed inconsistent support for the 'tel' protocol in Drupal's URL filtering
377
  functions.
378
- Performance improvement: Allowed all hooks to be included in the
379
  module_implements() cache, even those that are only invoked on HTTP POST
380
  requests.
381
- Made the database system replace truncate queries with delete queries when
382
  inside a transaction, to fix issues with PostgreSQL and other databases.
383
- Fixed a bug which caused nested contextual links to display improperly.
384
- Fixed a bug which prevented cached image derivatives from being flushed for
385
  private files and other non-default file schemes.
386
- Fixed drupal_render() to always return an empty string when there is no
387
  output, rather than sometimes returning NULL (minor API change).
388
- Added protection to cache_clear_all() to ensure that non-cache tables cannot
389
  be truncated (API addition: a new isValidBin() method has been added to the
390

- Changed the default .htaccess file to support HTTP authorization in CGI
392
  environments.
393

396
- Fixed broken support for foreign keys in the field API.
397
- Fixed "No active batch" error when a user cancels their own account.

403
  machine-readable name (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058503).
404

413
Drupal 7.22, 2013-04-03
414
-----------------------
415
- Allowed the drupal_http_request() function to be overridden so that
416
  additional HTTP request capabilities can be added by contributed modules.
417
- Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-0 test classes to be used in
418
  Drupal 7.
419
- Removed an unnecessary "Content-Disposition" header from private file
420
  downloads; it prevented many private files from being viewed inline in a web
421
  browser.
422
- Changed various field API functions to allow them to optionally act on a
423
  single field within an entity (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1825844).
424
- Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal's file transfer functionality from working
425
  on some PHP 5.4 systems.
426
- Fixed incorrect log message when theme() is called for a theme hook that does
427
  not exist (minor string change).
428
- Fixed Drupal's token-replacement system to allow spaces in the token value.
429
- Changed the default behavior after a user creates a node they do not have
430
  access to view. The user will now be redirected to the front page rather than
431
  an access denied page.
432
- Fixed a bug which prevented empty HTTP headers (such as "0") from being set.
433
  (Minor behavior change: Callers of drupal_add_http_header() must now set
434
  FALSE explicitly to prevent a header from being sent at all; this was already
435
  indicated in the function's documentation.)
436
- Fixed OpenID errors when more than one module implements hook_openid(). The
437
  behavior is now changed so that if more than one module tries to set the same
438
  parameter, the last module's change takes effect.
439
- Fixed a serious documentation bug: The $name variable in the
440
  taxonomy-term.tpl.php theme template was incorrectly documented as being
441
  sanitized when in fact it is not.
442
- Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
443
  duplicate permission names in the User module's database tables.
444
- Added an empty "datatype" attribute to taxonomy term and username links to
445
  make the RDFa markup upward compatible with RDFa 1.1 (minor markup addition).
446
- Fixed a bug which caused the denial-of-service protection added in Drupal
447
  7.20 to break certain valid image URLs that had an extra slash in them.
448
- Fixed a bug with update queries in the SQLite database driver that prevented
449
  Drupal from being installed with SQLite on PHP 5.4.
450
- Fixed enforced dependencies errors updating to recent versions of Drupal 7 on
451
  certain non-MySQL databases.
452
- Refactored the Field module's caching behavior to obtain large improvements
453
  in memory usage for sites with many fields and instances (API addition:
454
  http://drupal.org/node/1915646).
455
- Fixed entity argument not being passed to implementations of
456
  hook_file_download_access_alter(). The fix adds an additional context
457
  parameter that can be passed when calling drupal_alter() for any hook (API
458
  change: http://drupal.org/node/1882722).
459
- Fixed broken support for translatable comment fields (API change:
460
  http://drupal.org/node/1874724).
461
- Added an assertThemeOutput() method to Simpletest to allow tests to check
462
  that themed output matches an expected HTML string (API addition).
463
- Added a link to "Install another module" after a module has been successfully
464
  downloaded via the Update Manager (UI change).
465
- Added an optional "exclusive" flag to installation profile .info files which
466
  allows Drupal distributions to force a profile to be selected during
467
  installation (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1961012).
468
- Fixed a bug which caused the database API to not properly close database
469
  connections.
470
- Added a link to the URL for running cron from outside the site to the Cron
471
  settings page (UI change).
472
- Fixed a bug which prevented image styles from being reverted on PHP 5.4.
473
- Made the default .htaccess rules protocol sensitive to improve security for
474
  sites which use HTTPS and redirect between "www" and non-"www" versions of
475
  the page.
476
- Numerous small bug fixes.
477
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
478
- Additional automated test coverage.
479

    
480
Drupal 7.21, 2013-03-06
481

483
  have partial protection from the security issues fixed in Drupal 7.20.
484

    
485

500
  declaration.

504
  given an "error" class when the form fails validation.
505
- Prevented duplicate HTML IDs from appearing when two forms are displayed on
506
  the same page and one of them is submitted with invalid data (minor markup
507
  change).
508
- Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
509
  stale data in the Upload module's database tables.
510
- Fixed a bug in the States API which prevented certain types of form elements
511
  from being disabled when requested.
512
- Allowed aggregator feed items with author names longer than 255 characters to
513
  have a truncated version saved to the database (rather than causing a fatal
514
  error).
515
- Allowed aggregator feed items to have URLs longer than 255 characters
516
  (schema change which results in several columns in the Aggregator module's
517
  database tables changing from VARCHAR to TEXT fields).
518
- Added hook_taxonomy_term_view() and standardized the process for rendering
519
  taxonomy terms to invoke hook_entity_view() and otherwise make it consistent
520
  with other entities (API change: http://drupal.org/node/1808870).
521
- Added hook_entity_view_mode_alter() to allow modules to change entity view
522
  modes on display (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1833086).
523

524
  fail on PostgreSQL databases. This caused errors during the Drupal 6 to
525
  Drupal 7 upgrade.
526
- Changed the hook_menu() entry for Drupal's rss.xml page to prevent extra path
527
  components from being accidentally passed to the page callback function (data

  structure change).
529
- Removed a non-standard "name" attribute from Drupal's default Content-Type
530
  header for file downloads.

- Fixed the theme settings form to properly clean up submitted values in
532
  $form_state['values'] when the form is submitted (data structure change).

- Fixed an inconsistency by removing the colon from the end of the label on
534
  multi-valued form fields (minor string change).

- Added support for 'weight' in hook_field_widget_info() to allow modules to
536
  control the order in which widgets are displayed in the Field UI.
537
- Updated various tables in the OpenID and Book modules to use the default
538
  "empty table" text pattern (string change).

541
- Fixed double occurrence of a "ul" HTML tag on secondary local tasks in the
542
  Seven theme (markup change).
543
- Fixed bugs which caused taxonomy vocabulary and shortcut set titles to be
544
  double-escaped. The fix replaces the taxonomy vocabulary overview page and
545
  "Edit shortcuts" menu items' title callback entries in hook_menu() with new
546
  functions that do not escape HTML characters (data structure change).
547
- Modified the Update manager module to allow drupal.org to collect usage
548
  statistics for individual modules and themes, rather than only for entire
549
  projects.
550
- Modified the node listing database query on Drupal's default front page to
551
  add table aliases for better query altering (this is a data structure change
552
  affecting code which implements hook_query_alter() on this query).
553
- Improved the translatability of the "Field type(s) in use" message on the
554
  modules page (admin-facing string change).
555
- Fixed a regression which caused a "call to undefined function
556
  drupal_find_base_themes()" fatal error under rare circumstances.
557
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
558
- Additional automated test coverage.
559

    
560
Drupal 7.16, 2012-10-17

563
  disclosure). See SA-CORE-2012-003.
564

    
565
Drupal 7.15, 2012-08-01
566

567
- Introduced a 'user_password_reset_timeout' variable to allow the 24-hour
568
  expiration for user password reset links to be adjusted (API addition).
569
- Fixed database errors due to ambiguous column names that occurred when
570
  EntityFieldQuery was used in certain situations.
571
- Changed the drupal_array_get_nested_value() function to return a reference
572
  (API addition).
573
- Changed the System module's hook_block_info() implementation to assign the
574
  "Main page content" and "System help" blocks to appropriate regions by
575
  default and prevent error messages on the block administration page (data
576
  structure change).
577
- Fixed regression: Non-node entities couldn't be accessed with
578
  EntityFieldQuery.
579
- Fixed regression: Optional radio buttons with an empty, non-NULL default
580
  value led to an illegal choice error when none were selected.
581
- Reorganized the testing framework to split setUp() into specific sub-methods
582
  and fix several regressions in the process.
583
- Fixed bug which made it impossible to search for strings that have not been
584
  translated into a particular language.
585
- Renamed the "Field" column on the Manage Fields screen to "Field type", since
586
  the former was confusing and inaccurate (UI change).
587
- Performance improvement: Removed needless call to system_rebuild_module_data()
588
  in field_sync_field_status(), greatly speeding up bulk module enable/disable.
589
- Fixed bug which prevented notifications from being sent when core, module, and
590

  language property in hook_entity_info(), and modules working with entities
601
  may access the language using entity_language() (API change:
602
  http://drupal.org/node/1626346).
603
- Added EntityFieldQuery support for taxonomy bundles.
604
- Fixed issue where field form structure was incomplete if field_access()
605
  returned FALSE. Instead of being incomplete, the form structure now has
606
  #access set to FALSE and field form validation is skipped (data structure
607
  change: http://drupal.org/node/1663020).
608
- Fixed data loss issue due to field_has_data() returning inconsistent results.
609
  The fix adds an optional DANGEROUS_ACCESS_CHECK_OPT_OUT tag to entity field
610
  queries which field storage engines can respond to (API addition:
611
  http://drupal.org/node/1597378).
612

841
Drupal 7.0, 2011-01-05 
842
----------------------
843
- Database:
844
    * Fully rewritten database layer utilizing PHP 5's PDO abstraction layer.
845
    * Drupal now requires MySQL >= 5.0.15 or PostgreSQL >= 8.3.
846
    * Added query builders for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, and SELECT queries.
847
    * Support for master/slave replication, transactions, multi-insert queries,
848
      and other features.
849
    * Added support for the SQLite database engine.
850
    * Default to InnoDB engine, rather than MyISAM, on MySQL when available.
851
      This offers increased scalability and data integrity.
852
- Security:
853
    * Protected cron.php -- cron will only run if the proper key is provided.
854
    * Implemented a pluggable password system and much stronger password hashes
855
      that are compatible with the Portable PHP password hashing framework.
856
    * Rate limited login attempts to prevent brute-force password guessing, and
857
      improved the flood control API to allow variable time windows and
858
      identifiers for limiting user access to resources.
859
    * Transformed the "Update status" module into the "Update manager" which
860
      can securely install or update modules and themes via a web interface.
861
- Usability:
862
    * Added contextual links (a.k.a. local tasks) to page elements, such as
863
      blocks, nodes, or comments, which allows to perform the most common tasks
864
      with a single click only.
865
    * Improved installer requirements check.
866
    * Improved support for integration of WYSIWYG editors.
867
    * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for input format listings.
868
    * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for language listing.
869
    * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for poll options.
870
    * Provided descriptions and human-readable names for user permissions.
871
    * Removed comment controls for users.
872
    * Removed display order settings for comment module. Comment display
873
      order can now be customized using the Views module.
874
    * Removed the 'related terms' feature from taxonomy module since this can
875
      now be achieved with Field API.
876
    * Added additional features to the default installation profile, and
877
      implemented a "slimmed down" profile designed for developers.
878
    * Added a built-in, automated cron run feature, which is triggered by site
879
      visitors.
880
    * Added an administrator role which is assigned all permissions for
881
      installed modules automatically.
882
    * Image toolkits are now provided by modules (rather than requiring a
883
      manual file copy to the includes directory).
884
    * Added an edit tab to taxonomy term pages.
885
    * Redesigned password strength validator.
886
    * Redesigned the add content type screen.
887
    * Highlight duplicate URL aliases.
888
    * Renamed "input formats" to "text formats".
889
    * Moved text format permissions to the main permissions page.
890
    * Added configurable ability for users to cancel their own accounts.
891
    * Added "vertical tabs", a reusable interface component that features
892
      automatic summaries and increases usability.
893
    * Replaced fieldsets on node edit and add pages with vertical tabs.
894
- Performance:
895
    * Improved performance on uncached page views by loading multiple core
896
      objects in a single database query.
897
    * Improved performance for logged-in users by reducing queries for path
898
      alias lookups.
899
    * Improved support for HTTP proxies (including reverse proxies), allowing
900
      anonymous page views to be served entirely from the proxy.
901
- Documentation:
902
    * Hook API documentation now included in Drupal core.
903
- News aggregator:
904
    * Added OPML import functionality for RSS feeds.
905
    * Optionally, RSS feeds may be configured to not automatically generate feed blocks.
906
- Search:
907
    * Added support for language-aware searches.
908
- Aggregator:
909
    * Introduced architecture that allows pluggable parsers and processors for
910
      syndicating RSS and Atom feeds.
911
    * Added options to suspend updating specific feeds and never discard feeds
912
      items.
913
- Testing:
914
    * Added test framework and tests.
915
- Improved time zone support:
916
    * Drupal now uses PHP's time zone database when rendering dates in local
917
      time. Site-wide and user-configured time zone offsets have been converted
918
      to time zone names, e.g. Africa/Abidjan.
919
    * In some cases the upgrade and install scripts do not choose the preferred
920
      site default time zone. The automatically-selected time zone can be
921
      corrected at admin/config/regional/settings.
922
    * If your site is being upgraded from Drupal 6 and you do not have the
923
      contributed date or event modules installed, user time zone settings will
924
      fallback to the system time zone and will have to be reconfigured by each user.
925
    * User-configured time zones now serve as the default time zone for PHP
926
      date/time functions.
927
- Filter system:
928
    * Revamped the filter API and text format storage.
929
    * Added support for default text formats to be assigned on a per-role basis.
930
    * Refactored the HTML corrector to take advantage of PHP 5 features.
931
- User system:
932
    * Added clean API functions for creating, loading, updating, and deleting
933
      user roles and permissions.
934
    * Refactored the "access rules" component of user module: The user module
935
      now provides a simple interface for blocking single IP addresses. The
936
      previous functionality in the user module for restricting certain e-mail
937
      addresses and usernames is now available as a contributed module. Further,
938
      IP address range blocking is no longer supported and should be implemented
939
      at the operating system level.
940
    * Removed per-user themes: Contributed modules with similar functionality
941
      are available.
942
- OpenID:
943
    * Added support for Gmail and Google Apps for Domain identifiers. Users can
944
      now login with their user@example.com identifier when example.com is powered
945
      by Google.
946
    * Made the OpenID module more pluggable.
947
- Added code registry:
948
    * Using the registry, modules declare their includable files via their .info file,
949
      allowing Drupal to lazy-load classes and interfaces as needed.
950
- Theme system:
951
    * Removed the Bluemarine, Chameleon and Pushbutton themes. These themes live
952
      on as contributed themes (http://drupal.org/project/bluemarine,
953
      http://drupal.org/project/chameleon and http://drupal.org/project/pushbutton).
954
    * Added Stark theme to make analyzing Drupal's default HTML and CSS easier.
955
    * Added Seven as the default administration theme.
956
    * Variable preprocessing of theme hooks prior to template rendering now goes
957
      through two phases: a 'preprocess' phase and a new 'process' phase. See
958
      http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
959
    * Theme hooks implemented as functions (rather than as templates) can now
960
      also have preprocess (and process) functions. See
961
      http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
962
    * Added Bartik as the default theme.
963
- File handling:
964
    * Files are now first class Drupal objects with file_load(), file_save(),
965
      and file_validate() functions and corresponding hooks.
966
    * The file_move(), file_copy() and file_delete() functions now operate on
967
      file objects and invoke file hooks so that modules are notified and can
968
      respond to changes.
969
    * For the occasions when only basic file manipulation are needed--such as
970
      uploading a site logo--that don't require the overhead of databases and
971
      hooks, the current unmanaged copy, move and delete operations have been
972
      preserved but renamed to file_unmanaged_*().
973
    * Rewrote file handling to use PHP stream wrappers to enable support for
974
      both public and private files and to support pluggable storage mechanisms
975
      and access to remote resources (e.g. S3 storage or Flickr photos).
976
    * The mime_extension_mapping variable has been removed. Modules that need to
977
      alter the default MIME type extension mappings should implement
978
      hook_file_mimetype_mapping_alter().
979
    * Added the hook_file_url_alter() hook, which makes it possible to serve
980
      files from a CDN.
981
    * Added a field specifically for uploading files, previously provided by
982
      the contributed module FileField.
983
- Image handling:
984
    * Improved image handling, including better support for add-on image
985
      libraries.
986
    * Added API and interface for creating advanced image thumbnails.
987
    * Inclusion of additional effects such as rotate and desaturate.
988
    * Added a field specifically for uploading images, previously provided by
989
      the contributed module ImageField.
990
- Added aliased multi-site support:
991
    * Added support for mapping domain names to sites directories.
992
- Added RDF support:
993
    * Modules can declare RDF namespaces which are serialized in the <html> tag
994
      for RDFa support.
995
    * Modules can specify how their data structure maps to RDF.
996
    * Added support for RDFa export of nodes, comments, terms, users, etc. and
997
      their fields.
998
- Search engine optimization and web linking:
999
    * Added a rel="canonical" link on node and comment pages to prevent
1000
      duplicate content indexing by search engines.
1001
    * Added a default rel="shortlink" link on node and comment pages that
1002
      advertises a short link as an alternative URL to third-party services.
1003
    * Meta information is now alterable by all modules before rendering.
1004
- Field API:
1005
    * Custom data fields may be attached to nodes, users, comments and taxonomy
1006
      terms.
1007
    * Node bodies and teasers are now Field API fields instead of
1008
      being a hard-coded property of node objects.
1009
    * In addition, any other object type may register with Field API
1010
      and allow custom data fields to be attached to itself.
1011
    * Provides most of the features of the former Content Construction
1012
      Kit (CCK) module.
1013
    * Taxonomy terms are now Field API fields that can be added to any fieldable
1014
      object.
1015
- Installer:
1016
    * Refactored the installer into an API that allows Drupal to be installed
1017
      via a command line script.
1018
- Page organization
1019
    * Made the help text area a full featured region with blocks.
1020
    * Site mission is replaced with the highlighted content block region and
1021
      separate RSS feed description settings.
1022
    * The footer message setting was removed in favor of custom blocks.
1023
    * Made the main page content a block which can be moved and ordered
1024
      with other blocks in the same region.
1025
    * Blocks can now return structured arrays for later rendering just
1026
      like page callbacks.
1027
- Translation system
1028
    * The translation system now supports message context (msgctxt).
1029
    * Added support for translatable fields to Field API.
1030
- JavaScript changes
1031
    * Upgraded the core JavaScript library to jQuery version 1.4.4.
1032
    * Upgraded the jQuery Forms library to 2.52.
1033
    * Added jQuery UI 1.8.7, which allows improvements to Drupal's user
1034
      experience.
1035
- Better module version support
1036
    * Modules now can specify which version of another module they depend on.
1037
- Removed modules from core
1038
    * The following modules have been removed from core, because contributed
1039
      modules with similar functionality are available:
1040
      * Blog API module
1041
      * Ping module
1042
      * Throttle module
1043
- Improved node access control system.
1044
    * All modules may now influence the access to a node at runtime, not just
1045
      the module that defined a node.
1046
    * Users may now be allowed to bypass node access restrictions without giving
1047
      them complete access to the site.
1048
    * Access control affects both published and unpublished nodes.
1049
    * Numerous other improvements to the node access system.
1050
- Actions system
1051
    * Simplified definitions of actions and triggers.
1052
    * Removed dependency on the combination of hooks and operations. Triggers
1053
      now directly map to module hooks.
1054
- Task handling
1055
    * Added a queue API to process many or long-running tasks.
1056
    * Added queue API support to cron API.
1057

1058
      requests.

2020
Drupal 3.0.0, 2001-09-15
2021
------------------------
2022
- Major overhaul of the entire underlying design:
2023
    * 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.
2024
- Rewrote submission/moderation queue and renamed it to queue.module.
2025
- Removed FAQ and documentation module and merged them into a "book module".
2026
- Removed ban module and integrated it into account.module as "access control":
2027
    * Access control is based on much more powerful regular expressions (regex) now rather than on MySQL pattern matching.
2028
- Rewrote watchdog and submission throttle:
2029
    * Improved watchdog messages and added watchdog filter.
2030
- Rewrote headline code and renamed it to import.module and export.module:
2031
    * Added various improvements, including a better parser, bundles and better control over individual feeds.
2032
- Rewrote section code and renamed it to meta.module:
2033
    * Supports unlimited amount of nested topics. Topics can be nested to create a multi-level hierarchy.
2034
- Rewrote configuration file resolving:
2035
    * 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.
2036
- Added caching support which makes Drupal extremely scalable.
2037
- Added access.module:
2038
    * Allows you to set up 'roles' (groups) and to bind a set of permissions to each group.
2039
- Added blog.module.
2040
- Added poll.module.
2041
- Added system.module:

    * Added support for custom "filters".
2044
- Added statistics.module
2045
- Added moderate.module:
2046
    * Allows to assign users editorial/moderator rights to certain nodes or topics.
2047
- Added page.module:
2048
    * Allows creation of static (and dynamic) pages through the administration interface.
2049
- Added help.module:
2050
    * Groups all available module documentation on a single page.
2051
- Added forum.module:
2052
    * Added an integrated forum.
2053

2054
    * Allows to display and mail CVS log messages as daily digests.
2055
- Added book.module:
2056
    * Allows collaborative handbook writing: primary used for Drupal documentation.
2057
- Removed cron.module and integrated it into conf.module.
2058
- Removed module.module as it was no longer needed.
2059
- Various updates:
2060
    * Added "auto-post new submissions" feature versus "moderate new submissions".
2061
    * Introduced links/Drupal tags: [[link]]
2062
    * Added preview functionality when submitting new content (such as a story) from the administration pages.
2063
    * Made the administration section only show those links a user has access to.
2064
    * Made all modules use specific form_* functions to guarantee a rock-solid forms and more consistent layout.
2065

2066

2083
Drupal 2.0.0, 2001-03-15
2084
------------------------
2085
- Rewrote the comment/discussion code:
2086
    * Comment navigation should be less confusing now.
2087
    * Additional/alternative display and order methods have been added.
2088
    * Modules can be extended with a "comment system": modules can embed the existing comment system without having to write their own, duplicate comment system.
2089
- Added sections and section manager:
2090
    * Story sections can be maintained from the administration pages.
2091
    * 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.
2092
- Multiple vhosts + multiple directories:
2093
    * You can set up multiple Drupal sites on top of the same physical source tree either by using vhosts or sub-directories.
2094
- Added "user ratings" similar to SlashCode's Karma or Scoop's Mojo:
2095
    * All rating logic is packed into a module to ease experimenting with different rating heuristics/algorithms.
2096
- Added "search infrastructure":
2097
    * Improved search page and integrated search functionality in the administration pages.
2098
- Added translation / localization / internationalization support:
2099
    * 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.
2100
- Added fine-grained user permission (or group) system:
2101
    * 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.
2102
- Added FAQ module
2103
- Changed the "open submission queue" into a (optional) module.
2104
- Various updates:
2105
    * Improved account module:
2106
        + User accounts can be deleted.
2107
        + Added fine-grained permission support.
2108
    * Improved block module
2109
    * Improved diary module:
2110
        + Diary entries can be deleted
2111
    * Improved headline module:
2112
        + Improved parser to support more "generic" RDF/RSS/XML backend.
2113
    * Improved module module
2114
    * Improved watchdog module
2115
    * Improved database abstraction layer
2116
    * Improved themes:
2117
        + W3C validation on a best effort basis
2118
        + Added theme "example" (alias "Stone Age")
2119
    * Added new scripts to directory "scripts"
2120
    * Added directory "misc"
2121
