    10 - Made Drupal core pass all automated tests on PHP 7.1.

    11 - Allowed services such as Let's Encrypt to work with Drupal on Apache, by

    12   making Drupal's .htaccess file allow access to the .well-known directory

    13   defined by RFC 5785.

    14 - Made new Drupal sites work correctly on Apache 2.4 when the mod_access_compat

    15   Apache module is disabled.

    17   the URLs will pass HTML5 validation.

    18 - Various additional bug fixes.

    19 - Various API documentation improvements.

    20 - Additional automated test coverage.

    21 

    22 Drupal 7.54, 2017-02-01

    23 -----------------------

    24 - Modules are now able to define theme engines (API addition:

    25   https://www.drupal.org/node/2826480).

    26 - Logging of searches can now be disabled (new option in the administrative

    27   interface).

    28 - Added menu tree render structure to (pre-)process hooks for theme_menu_tree()

    29   (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2827134).

    30 - Added new function for determining whether an HTTPS request is being served

    31   (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2824590).

    39 - Additional automated test coverage.

    40 

    41 Drupal 7.53, 2016-12-07

    42 -----------------------

    43 - Fixed drag and drop support on newer Chrome/IE 11+ versions after 7.51 update

    44   when jQuery is updated to 1.7-1.11.0.

    45 

    46 Drupal 7.52, 2016-11-16

    47 -----------------------

    48 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2016-005.

    49 

    50 Drupal 7.51, 2016-10-05

    51 -----------------------

    52 - The Update module now also checks for updates to a disabled theme that is

    53   used as an admin theme.

    58 - Added a setting for allowing double underscores in CSS identifiers

    59   (https://www.drupal.org/node/2810369).

    60 - If a user navigates away from a page while an Ajax request is running they

    61   will no longer get an error message saying "An Ajax HTTP request terminated

    62   abnormally".

    63 - The system_region_list() API function now takes an optional third parameter

    64   which allows region name translations to be skipped when they are not needed

    65   (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2810365).

    66 - Numerous performance improvements.

    67 - Numerous bug fixes.

    68 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

    69 - Additional automated test coverage.

    70 

    71 Drupal 7.50, 2016-07-07 

    72 -----------------------

    73 - Added a new "administer fields" permission for trusted users, which is

    74   required in addition to other permissions to use the field UI

    75   (https://www.drupal.org/node/2483307).

    76 - Added clickjacking protection to Drupal core by setting the X-Frame-Options

    77   header to SAMEORIGIN by default (https://www.drupal.org/node/2735873).

    78 - Added support for full UTF-8 (emojis, Asian symbols, mathematical symbols) on

    79   MySQL and other database drivers when the site and database are configured to

    80   allow it (https://www.drupal.org/node/2761183).

    81 - Improved performance by avoiding a re-scan of directories when a file is

    82   missing; instead, trigger a PHP warning (minor API change:

    83   https://www.drupal.org/node/2581445).

    84 - Made it possible to use any PHP callable in Ajax form callbacks, form API

    85   form-building functions, and form API wrapper callbacks (API addition:

    86   https://www.drupal.org/node/2761169).

    87 - Fixed that following a password reset link while logged in leaves users unable

    88   to change their password (minor user interface change:

    89   https://www.drupal.org/node/2759023).

    90 - Implemented various fixes for automated test failures on PHP 5.4+ and PHP 7.

    91   Drupal core automated tests now pass in these environments.

    92 - Improved support for PHP 7 by fixing various problems.

    93 - Fixed various bugs with PHP 5.5+ imagerotate(), including when incorrect

    94   color indices are passed in.

    95 - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.43 that allowed files uploaded by

    96   anonymous users to be lost after form validation errors, and that also caused

    97   regressions with certain contributed modules.

    98 - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.36 which caused the default value

    99   of hidden textarea fields to be ignored.

   100 - Fixed robots.txt to allow search engines to access CSS, JavaScript and image

   101   files.

   102 - Changed wording on the Update Manager settings page to clarify that the

   103   option to check for disabled module updates also applies to uninstalled

   104   modules (administrative-facing translatable string change).

   105 - Changed the help text when editing menu links and configuring URL redirect

   106   actions so that it does not reference "Drupal" or the drupal.org website

   107   (administrative-facing translatable string change).

   108 - Fixed the locale safety check that is used to ensure that translations are

   109   safe to allow for tokens in the href/src attributes of translated strings.

   110 - Fixed that URL generation only works on port 80 when using domain based

   111   language negotation.

   112 - Made method="get" forms work inside the administrative overlay. The fix adds

   113   a new hidden field to these forms when they appear inside the overlay (minor

   114   data structure change).

   115 - Increased maxlength of menu link title input fields in the node form and

   116   menu link form from 128 to 255 characters.

   117 - Removed meaningless post-check=0 and pre-check=0 cache control headers from

   118   Drupal HTTP responses.

   119 - Added a .editorconfig file to auto-configure editors that support it.

   120 - Added --directory option to run-tests.sh for easier test discovery of all

   121   tests within a project.

   122 - Made run-tests.sh exit with a failure code when there are test fails or

   123   problems running the script.

   124 - Fixed that cookies from previous tests are still present when a new test

   125   starts in DrupalWebTestCase.

   126 - Improved performance of queries on the {authmap} database table.

   127 - Fixed handling of missing files and functions inside the registry.

   128 - Fixed Ajax handling for tableselect form elements that use checkboxes.

   129 - Fixed a bug which caused ip_address() to return nothing when the client IP

   130   address and proxy IP address are the same.

   131 - Added a new option to format_xml_elements() to allow for already encoded

   132   values.

   133 - Changed the {history} table's node ID field to be an unsigned integer, to

   134   match the same field in the {node} table and to prevent errors with very

   135   large node IDs.

   136 - Added an explicit page callback to the "admin/people/create" menu item in the

   137   User module (minor data structure change). Previously this automatically

   138   inherited the page callback from the parent "admin/people" menu item, which

   139   broke contributed modules that override the "admin/people" page.

   140 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   141 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   142 - Additional automated test coverage.

   143 

   144 Drupal 7.44, 2016-06-15

   145 -----------------------

   146 - Fixed security issues (privilege escalation). See SA-CORE-2016-002.

   147 

   148 Drupal 7.43, 2016-02-24

   149 -----------------------

   150 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2016-001.

   151 

   152 Drupal 7.42, 2016-02-03

   153 -----------------------

   154 - Stopped invoking hook_flush_caches() on every cron run, since some modules

   155   use that hook for expensive operations that are only needed on cache clears.

   156 - Changed the default .htaccess and web.config to block Composer-related files.

   157 - Added static caching to module_load_include() to improve performance.

   158 - Fixed double-encoding bugs in select field widgets provided by the Options

   159   module. The fix deprecates the 'strip_tags' property on option widgets and

   160   replaces it with a new 'strip_tags_and_unescape' property (minor data

   161   structure change).

   162 - Improved MySQL 5.7 support by changing the MySQL database driver to stop

   163   using the ANSI SQL mode alias, which has different meanings for different

   164   MySQL versions.

   165 - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.39 which prevented autocomplete

   166   functionality from working on servers that are not configured to

   167   automatically recognize index.php.

   168 - Updated the Archive_Tar PEAR package to the latest 1.4.0 release, to fix bugs

   169   with tar file handling on various operating systems.

   170 - Fixed fatal errors on node preview when a field is displayed in the node

   171   teaser but hidden in the full node view. The fix removes a

   172   field_attach_prepare_view() call from the node_preview() function since it is

   173   redundant with one in the node preview theme layer.

   174 - Improved the description of the "Trimmed" format option on text fields

   175   (translatable string change, and minor UI and data structure change).

   176 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   177 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   178 - Additional automated test coverage.

   179 

   180 Drupal 7.41, 2015-10-21

   181 -----------------------

   182 - Fixed security issues (open redirect). See SA-CORE-2015-004.

   183 

   184 Drupal 7.40, 2015-10-14

   185 -----------------------

   186 - Made Drupal's code for parsing .info files run much faster and use much less

   187   memory.

   188 - Prevented drupal_http_request() from returning an error when it receives a

   189   201 through 206 HTTP status code.

   190 - Added support for autoloading traits via the registry on sites running PHP

   191   5.4 or higher.

   192 - Allowed the user-picture.tpl.php theme template to have HTML classes besides

   193   the default "user-picture" class printed in it (markup change).

   194 - Fixed the URL text filter to convert e-mail addresses with plus signs into

   195   mailto: links.

   196 - Added alternate text to file icons displayed by the File module, to improve

   197   accessibility (string change, and minor API addition to theme_file_icon()).

   198 - Changed one-time login link failure messages to be displayed as errors or

   199   warnings as appropriate, rather than as regular status messages (minor UI

   200   change and data structure change).

   201 - Changed the default settings.php configuration to exclude private files from

   202   the "404_fast_paths" behavior.

   203 - Changed the page that displays filter tips for a particular text format, for

   204   example filter/tips/full_html, to return "page not found" or "access denied"

   205   if the format does not exist or the user does not have access to it. This

   206   change adds a new menu item to the Filter module's hook_menu() entry (minor

   207   data structure change).

   208 - Added a new hook, hook_block_cid_parts_alter(), to allow modules to alter the

   209   cache keys used for caching a particular block.

   210 - Made drupal_set_message() display and return messages when "0" is passed in

   211   as the message to set.

   212 - Fixed non-functional "Files displayed by default" setting on file fields.

   213 - The "worker callback" provided in hook_cron_queue_info() and the "finished"

   214   callback specified during batch processing can now be any PHP callable

   215   instead of just functions.

   216 - Prevented drupal_set_time_limit() from decreasing the time limit in the case

   217   where the PHP maximum execution time is already unlimited.

   218 - Changed the default thousand marker for numeric fields from a space ("1 000")

   219   to nothing ("1000") (minor UI change: https://www.drupal.org/node/1388376).

   220 - Prevented malformed theme .info files (without a "name" key) from causing

   221   exceptions during menu rebuilds. If an .info file without a "name" key is

   222   found in a module or theme directory, Drupal will now use the module or

   223   theme's machine name as the display name instead.

   224 - Made the format column in the {date_format_locale} database table

   225   case-sensitive, to match the equivalent column in the {date_formats} table.

   226 - Fixed a bug in the Statistics module that caused JavaScript files attached to

   227   a node while it is being viewed to be omitted from the page.

   228 - Added an optional 'project:' prefix that can be added to dependencies in a

   229   module's .info file to indicate which project the dependency resides in (API

   230   addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2299747).

   231 - Fixed various bugs that occurred after hooks were invoked early in the Drupal

   232   bootstrap and that caused module_implements() and drupal_alter() to cache an

   233   incomplete set of hook implementations for later use.

   234 - Set the X-Content-Type-Options header to "nosniff" when possible, to prevent

   235   certain web browsers from picking an unsafe MIME type.

   236 - Prevented the database API from executing multiple queries at once on MySQL,

   237   if the site's PHP version is new enough to do so. This is a secondary defense

   238   against SQL injection (API change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2463973).

   239 - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused the upgrade

   240   to fail when there were multiple file records pointing to the same file.

   241 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   242 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   243 - Additional automated test coverage.

   244 

   245 Drupal 7.39, 2015-08-19

   246 -----------------------

   247 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-003.

   248 

   249 Drupal 7.38, 2015-06-17

   250 -----------------------

   251 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-002.

   252 

   253 Drupal 7.37, 2015-05-07

   254 -----------------------

   255 - Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.36 which caused certain kinds of content types

   256   to become disabled if they were defined by a no-longer-enabled module.

   257 - Removed a confusing description regarding automatic time zone detection from

   258   the user account form (minor UI and data structure change).

   259 - Allowed custom HTML tags with a dash in the name to pass through filter_xss()

   260   when specified in the list of allowed tags.

   261 - Allowed hook_field_schema() implementations to specify indexes for fields

   262   based on a fixed-length column prefix (rather than the entire column), as was

   263   already allowed in hook_schema() implementations.

   264 - Fixed PDO exceptions on PostgreSQL when accessing invalid entity URLs.

   265 - Added a sites/all/libraries folder to the codebase, with instructions for

   266   using it.

   267 - Added a description to the "Administer text formats and filters" permission

   268   on the Permissions page (string change).

   269 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   270 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   271 - Additional automated test coverage.

   272 

   273 Drupal 7.36, 2015-04-01

   274 -----------------------

   275 - Added a 'file_public_schema' variable which allows modules that define

   276   publicly-accessible streams in hook_stream_wrappers() to bypass file download

   277   access checks when processing managed file upload fields.

   278 - Fixed a bug that caused database query tags not to be added to search-related

   279   database queries under many circumstances, and which prevented the

   280   corresponding hook_query_TAG_alter() implementations from being called.

   281 - Fixed the "for" attribute on managed file upload field labels to improve

   282   accessibility (minor markup change).

   283 - Added a 'javascript_always_use_jquery' variable which can be set to FALSE by

   284   sites that may not need jQuery loaded on all pages, and a 'requires_jquery'

   285   option to drupal_add_js() which modules can set to FALSE when adding

   286   JavaScript files that have no dependency on jQuery (API addition:

   287   https://www.drupal.org/node/2462717).

   288 - Fixed incorrect foreign keys in the User module's role_permission and

   289   users_roles database tables.

   290 - Changed permission descriptions throughout Drupal core to consistently link

   291   to relevant administrative pages, regardless of whether the user viewing the

   292   Permissions page can view the page being linked to (minor UI change).

   293 - Fixed the drupal_add_region_content() function so that it actually adds

   294   content to the page.

   295 - Added an 'image_suppress_itok_output' variable to allow sites already using

   296   the existing 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to also prevent

   297   security tokens from appearing in image derivative URLs.

   298 - Fixed double-escaping of theme names in the Block module administrative

   299   interface (minor string change).

   300 - Added basic support for Xdebug when running automated tests.

   301 - Fixed a bug which caused previewing a node to remove elements from the node

   302   being edited. With this fix, calling node_preview() will no longer modify the

   303   passed-in node object (minor API change).

   304 - Added a user_has_role() function to check whether a user has a particular

   305   role (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2462411).

   306 - Fixed installation failures when an opcode cache is enabled.

   307 - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused private

   308   files to be inaccessible.

   309 - Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused user

   310   pictures to be lost.

   311 - Fixed missing language code in hook_field_attach_view_alter() when it is

   312   invoked from field_view_field().

   313 - Stopped sending ETag and Last-Modified headers for uncached page requests,

   314   since they break caching for certain Varnish and Nginx configurations.

   315 - Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-4 test classes to be used in

   316   Drupal 7.

   317 - Fixed a fatal error that occurred when using the Comment module's "Unpublish

   318   comment containing keyword(s)" action.

   319 - Changed the "lang" attribute on language links to "xml:lang" so it validates

   320   as XHTML (minor markup change).

   321 - Prevented the form API from allowing arrays to be submitted for various form

   322   elements, such as textfields, textareas, and password fields (API change:

   323   https://www.drupal.org/node/2462723).

   324 - Fixed a bug in the Contact module which caused the global user object to have

   325   the incorrect name and e-mail address during the remainder of the page

   326   request after the contact form is submitted.

   327 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   328 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   329 - Additional automated test coverage.

   330 

   331 Drupal 7.35, 2015-03-18

   332 -----------------------

   333 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-001.

   334 

   335 Drupal 7.34, 2014-11-19

   336 -----------------------

   337 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-006.

   338 

   339 Drupal 7.33, 2014-11-07

   340 -----------------------

   341 - Began storing the file modification time of each module and theme in the

   342   {system} database table so that contributed modules can use it to identify

   343   recently changed modules and themes (minor data structure change to the

   344   return value of system_get_info() and other related functions).

   345 - Added a "Did you mean?" feature to the run-tests.sh script for running

   346   automated tests from the command line, to help developers who are attempting

   347   to run a particular test class or group.

   348 - Changed the date format used in various HTTP headers output by Drupal core

   349   from RFC 1123 format to RFC 7231 format.

   350 - Added a "block_cache_bypass_node_grants" variable to allow sites which have

   351   node access modules enabled to use the block cache if desired (API addition).

   352 - Made image derivative generation HTTP requests return a 404 error (rather

   353   than a 500 error) when the source image does not exist.

   354 - Fixed a bug which caused user pictures to be removed from the user object

   355   after saving, and resulted in data loss if the user account was subsequently

   356   re-saved.

   357 - Fixed a bug in which field_has_data() did not return TRUE for fields that

   358   only had data in older entity revisions, leading to loss of the field's data

   359   when the field configuration was edited.

   360 - Fixed a bug which caused the Ajax progress throbber to appear misaligned in

   361   many situatons (minor styling change).

   362 - Prevented the Bartik theme from lower-casing the "Permalink" link on

   363   comments, for improved multilingual support (minor UI change).

   364 - Added a "preferred_menu_links" tag to the database query that is used by

   365   menu_link_get_preferred() to find the preferred menu link for a given path,

   366   to make it easier to alter.

   367 - Increased the maximum allowed length of block titles to 255 characters

   368   (database schema change to the {block} table).

   369 - Removed the Field module's field_modules_uninstalled() function, since it did

   370   not do anything when it was invoked.

   371 - Added a "theme_hook_original" variable to templates and theme functions and

   372   an optional sitewide theme debug mode, to provide contextual information in

   373   the page's HTML to theme developers. The theme debug mode is based on the one

   374   used with Twig in Drupal 8 and can be accessed by setting the "theme_debug"

   375   variable to TRUE (API addition).

   376 - Added an entity_view_mode_prepare() API function to allow entity-defining

   377   modules to properly invoke hook_entity_view_mode_alter(), and used it

   378   throughout Drupal core to fix bugs with the invocation of that hook (API

   379   change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2369141).

   380 - Security improvement: Made the database API's orderBy() method sanitize the

   381   sort direction ("ASC" or "DESC") for queries built with db_select(), so that

   382   calling code does not have to.

   383 - Changed the RDF module to consistently output RDF metadata for nodes and

   384   comments near where the node is rendered in the HTML (minor markup and data

   385   structure change).

   386 - Added an HTML class to RDFa metatags throughout Drupal to prevent them from

   387   accidentally affecting the site appearance (minor markup change).

   388 - Fixed a bug in the Unicode requirements check which prevented installing

   389   Drupal on PHP 5.6.

   390 - Fixed a bug which caused drupal_get_bootstrap_phase() to abort the bootstrap

   391   when called early in the page request.

   392 - Renamed the "Search result" view mode to "Search result highlighting input"

   393   to better reflect how it is used (UI change).

   394 - Improved database queries generated by EntityFieldQuery in the case where

   395   delta or language condition groups are used, to reduce the number of INNER

   396   JOINs (this is a minor data structure change affecting code which implements

   397   hook_query_alter() on these queries).

   398 - Removed special-case behavior for file uploads which allowed user #1 to

   399   bypass maximum file size and user quota limits.

   400 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   401 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   402 - Additional automated test coverage.

   403 

   404 Drupal 7.32, 2014-10-15

   405 -----------------------

   406 - Fixed security issues (SQL injection). See SA-CORE-2014-005.

   407 

   408 Drupal 7.31, 2014-08-06

   409 -----------------------

   410 - Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2014-004.

   411 

   412 Drupal 7.30, 2014-07-24

   413 -----------------------

   414 - Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.29 that caused files or images

   415   attached to taxonomy terms to be deleted when the taxonomy term was edited

   416   and resaved (and other related bugs with contributed and custom modules).

   417 - Added a warning on the permissions page to recommend restricting access to

   418   the "View site reports" permission to trusted administrators. See

   419   DRUPAL-PSA-2014-002.

   420 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   421 - Additional automated test coverage.

   422 

   423 Drupal 7.29, 2014-07-16

   424 -----------------------

   425 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-003.

   426 

   427 Drupal 7.28, 2014-05-08

   428 -----------------------

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

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

   431   used.

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

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

   434   which causes incomplete information about security updates to be presented to

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

   436   Update Manager administration pages, when installing Drupal distributions,

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

   438   by site visitors.

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

   440   field does not have a manual summary.

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

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

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

   444   ever used on non-SELECT queries.

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

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

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

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

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

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

   451   change).

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

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

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

   455   was saved or deleted.

   456 - Added several missing countries to the default list returned by

   457   country_get_list() (string change).

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

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

   460 - Fixed untranslatable text strings in the administrative interface for the

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

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

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

   464   unpublished nodes.

   465 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   466 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   467 - Additional automated test coverage.

   468 

   469 Drupal 7.27, 2014-04-16

   470 -----------------------

   471 - Fixed security issues (information disclosure). See SA-CORE-2014-002.

   472 

   473 Drupal 7.26, 2014-01-15

   474 -----------------------

   475 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-001.

   476 

   477 Drupal 7.25, 2014-01-02

   478 -----------------------

   479 - Fixed a bug in node_save() which prevented the saved node from being updated

   480   in hook_node_insert() and other similar hooks.

   481 - Added a meta tag to install.php to prevent it from being indexed by search

   482   engines even when Drupal is installed in a subfolder (minor markup change).

   483 - Fixed a bug in the database API that caused frequent deadlock errors when

   484   running merge queries on some servers.

   485 - Performance improvement: Prevented block rehashing from writing blocks to the

   486   database on every cache clear and cron run when the blocks have not changed.

   487   This fix results in an extra 'saved' key which is added and set to TRUE for

   488   each block returned by _block_rehash() that actually is saved to the database

   489   (data structure change).

   490 - Added an optional 'skip on cron' parameter to hook_cron_queue_info() to allow

   491   queues to avoid being automatically processed on cron runs (API addition).

   492 - Fixed a bug which caused hook_block_view_MODULE_DELTA_alter() to never be

   493   invoked if the block delta had a hyphen in it. To implement the hook when the

   494   block delta has a hyphen, modules should now replace hyphens with underscores

   495   when constructing the function name for the hook implementation.

   496 - Fixed a bug which caused cached pages to sometimes be sent to the browser

   497   with incorrect compression. The fix adds a new 'page_compressed' key to the

   498   $cache->data array returned by drupal_page_get_cache() (minor data structure

   499   change).

   500 - Fixed broken tests on PHP 5.5.

   501 - Made the File and Image modules more robust when saving entities that have

   502   deleted files attached. The code in file_field_presave() will now remove the

   503   record of the deleted file from the entity before saving (minor data

   504   structure change).

   505 - Standardized menu callback functions throughout Drupal core to return

   506   MENU_NOT_FOUND and MENU_ACCESS_DENIED rather than printing their own "page

   507   not found" or "access denied" pages (minor API change in the return value of

   508   these functions under some circumstances).

   509 - Fixed a bug in which caches were not properly cleared when a node was deleted

   510   via the administrative interface.

   511 - Changed the Bartik theme to render content contained in <pre>, <code> and

   512   similar tags in a larger font size, so it is easier to read.

   513 - Fixed a bug in the Search module that caused exceptions to be thrown during

   514   searches if the server was not configured to represent decimal points as a

   515   period.

   516 - Fixed a regression in the Image module that made image_style_url() not work

   517   when a relative path (rather than a complete file URI) was passed to it.

   518 - Added an optional feature to the Statistics module to allow node views to be

   519   tracked by Ajax requests rather than during the server-side generation of the

   520   page. This allows the node counter to work on sites that use external page

   521   caches (string change and new administrative option:

   522   https://drupal.org/node/2164069).

   523 - Added a link to the drupal.org documentation page for cron to the Cron

   524   settings page (string change).

   525 - Added a 'drupal_anonymous_user_object' variable to allow the anonymous user

   526   object returned by drupal_anonymous_user() to be overridden with a classed

   527   object (API addition).

   528 - Changed the database API to allow inserts based on a SELECT * query to work

   529   correctly.

   530 - Changed the database schema of the {file_managed} table to allow Drupal to

   531   manage files larger than 4 GB.

   532 - Changed the File module's hook_field_load() implementation to prevent file

   533   entity properties which have the same name as file or image field properties

   534   from overwriting the field properties (minor API change).

   535 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   536 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   537 - Additional automated test coverage.

   538 

   539 Drupal 7.24, 2013-11-20

   540 -----------------------

   541 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities), see SA-CORE-2013-003.

   542 

   543 Drupal 7.23, 2013-08-07

   544 -----------------------

   545 - Fixed a fatal error on PostgreSQL databases when updating the Taxonomy module

   546   from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.

   547 - Fixed the default ordering of CSS files for sites using right-to-left

   548   languages, to consistently place the right-to-left override file immediately

   549   after the CSS it is overriding (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058463).

   550 - Added a drupal_check_memory_limit() API function to allow the memory limit to

   551   be checked consistently (API addition).

   552 - Changed the default web.config file for IIS servers to allow favicon.ico

   553   files which are present in the filesystem to be accessed.

   554 - Fixed inconsistent support for the 'tel' protocol in Drupal's URL filtering

   555   functions.

   556 - Performance improvement: Allowed all hooks to be included in the

   557   module_implements() cache, even those that are only invoked on HTTP POST

   558   requests.

   559 - Made the database system replace truncate queries with delete queries when

   560   inside a transaction, to fix issues with PostgreSQL and other databases.

   561 - Fixed a bug which caused nested contextual links to display improperly.

   562 - Fixed a bug which prevented cached image derivatives from being flushed for

   563   private files and other non-default file schemes.

   564 - Fixed drupal_render() to always return an empty string when there is no

   565   output, rather than sometimes returning NULL (minor API change).

   566 - Added protection to cache_clear_all() to ensure that non-cache tables cannot

   567   be truncated (API addition: a new isValidBin() method has been added to the

   568   default database cache implementation).

   569 - Changed the default .htaccess file to support HTTP authorization in CGI

   570   environments.

   571 - Changed the password reset form to pre-fill the username when requested via a

   572   URL query parameter, and used this in the error message that appears after a

   573   failed login attempt (minor data structure and behavior change).

   574 - Fixed broken support for foreign keys in the field API.

   575 - Fixed "No active batch" error when a user cancels their own account.

   576 - Added a description to the "access content overview" permission on the

   577   permissions page (string change).

   578 - Added a drupal_array_diff_assoc_recursive() function to allow associative

   579   arrays to be compared recursively (API addition).

   580 - Added human-readable labels to image styles, in addition to the existing

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

   582 - Moved the drupal_get_hash_salt() function to bootstrap.inc and used it in

   583   additional places in the code, for added security in the case where there is

   584   no hash salt in settings.php.

   585 - Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.22 that caused internal server errors for

   586   sites running on very old Apache 1.x web servers.

   587 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   588 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   589 - Additional automated test coverage.

   590 

   591 Drupal 7.22, 2013-04-03

   592 -----------------------

   593 - Allowed the drupal_http_request() function to be overridden so that

   594   additional HTTP request capabilities can be added by contributed modules.

   595 - Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-0 test classes to be used in

   596   Drupal 7.

   597 - Removed an unnecessary "Content-Disposition" header from private file

   598   downloads; it prevented many private files from being viewed inline in a web

   599   browser.

   600 - Changed various field API functions to allow them to optionally act on a

   601   single field within an entity (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1825844).

   602 - Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal's file transfer functionality from working

   603   on some PHP 5.4 systems.

   604 - Fixed incorrect log message when theme() is called for a theme hook that does

   605   not exist (minor string change).

   606 - Fixed Drupal's token-replacement system to allow spaces in the token value.

   607 - Changed the default behavior after a user creates a node they do not have

   608   access to view. The user will now be redirected to the front page rather than

   609   an access denied page.

   610 - Fixed a bug which prevented empty HTTP headers (such as "0") from being set.

   611   (Minor behavior change: Callers of drupal_add_http_header() must now set

   612   FALSE explicitly to prevent a header from being sent at all; this was already

   613   indicated in the function's documentation.)

   614 - Fixed OpenID errors when more than one module implements hook_openid(). The

   615   behavior is now changed so that if more than one module tries to set the same

   616   parameter, the last module's change takes effect.

   617 - Fixed a serious documentation bug: The $name variable in the

   618   taxonomy-term.tpl.php theme template was incorrectly documented as being

   619   sanitized when in fact it is not.

   620 - Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had

   621   duplicate permission names in the User module's database tables.

   622 - Added an empty "datatype" attribute to taxonomy term and username links to

   623   make the RDFa markup upward compatible with RDFa 1.1 (minor markup addition).

   624 - Fixed a bug which caused the denial-of-service protection added in Drupal

   625   7.20 to break certain valid image URLs that had an extra slash in them.

   626 - Fixed a bug with update queries in the SQLite database driver that prevented

   627   Drupal from being installed with SQLite on PHP 5.4.

   628 - Fixed enforced dependencies errors updating to recent versions of Drupal 7 on

   629   certain non-MySQL databases.

   630 - Refactored the Field module's caching behavior to obtain large improvements

   631   in memory usage for sites with many fields and instances (API addition:

   632   http://drupal.org/node/1915646).

   633 - Fixed entity argument not being passed to implementations of

   634   hook_file_download_access_alter(). The fix adds an additional context

   635   parameter that can be passed when calling drupal_alter() for any hook (API

   636   change: http://drupal.org/node/1882722).

   637 - Fixed broken support for translatable comment fields (API change:

   638   http://drupal.org/node/1874724).

   639 - Added an assertThemeOutput() method to Simpletest to allow tests to check

   640   that themed output matches an expected HTML string (API addition).

   641 - Added a link to "Install another module" after a module has been successfully

   642   downloaded via the Update Manager (UI change).

   643 - Added an optional "exclusive" flag to installation profile .info files which

   644   allows Drupal distributions to force a profile to be selected during

   645   installation (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1961012).

   646 - Fixed a bug which caused the database API to not properly close database

   647   connections.

   648 - Added a link to the URL for running cron from outside the site to the Cron

   649   settings page (UI change).

   650 - Fixed a bug which prevented image styles from being reverted on PHP 5.4.

   651 - Made the default .htaccess rules protocol sensitive to improve security for

   652   sites which use HTTPS and redirect between "www" and non-"www" versions of

   653   the page.

   654 - Numerous small bug fixes.

   655 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   656 - Additional automated test coverage.

   657 

   658 Drupal 7.21, 2013-03-06

   659 -----------------------

   660 - Allowed sites using the 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to still

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

   662 

   663 Drupal 7.20, 2013-02-20

   664 -----------------------

   665 - Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2013-002.

   666 

   667 Drupal 7.19, 2013-01-16

   668 -----------------------

   669 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2013-001.

   670 

   671 Drupal 7.18, 2012-12-19

   672 -----------------------

   673 - Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2012-004.

   674 

   675 Drupal 7.17, 2012-11-07

   676 -----------------------

   677 - Changed the default value of the '404_fast_html' variable to have a DOCTYPE

   678   declaration.

   679 - Made it possible to use associative arrays for the 'items' variable in

   680   theme_item_list().

   681 - Fixed a bug which prevented required form elements without a title from being

   682   given an "error" class when the form fails validation.

   683 - Prevented duplicate HTML IDs from appearing when two forms are displayed on

   684   the same page and one of them is submitted with invalid data (minor markup

   685   change).

   686 - Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had

   687   stale data in the Upload module's database tables.

   688 - Fixed a bug in the States API which prevented certain types of form elements

   689   from being disabled when requested.

   690 - Allowed aggregator feed items with author names longer than 255 characters to

   691   have a truncated version saved to the database (rather than causing a fatal

   692   error).

   693 - Allowed aggregator feed items to have URLs longer than 255 characters

   694   (schema change which results in several columns in the Aggregator module's

   695   database tables changing from VARCHAR to TEXT fields).

   696 - Added hook_taxonomy_term_view() and standardized the process for rendering

   697   taxonomy terms to invoke hook_entity_view() and otherwise make it consistent

   698   with other entities (API change: http://drupal.org/node/1808870).

   699 - Added hook_entity_view_mode_alter() to allow modules to change entity view

   700   modes on display (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1833086).

   701 - Fixed a bug which made database queries running a "LIKE" query on blob fields

   702   fail on PostgreSQL databases. This caused errors during the Drupal 6 to

   703   Drupal 7 upgrade.

   704 - Changed the hook_menu() entry for Drupal's rss.xml page to prevent extra path

   705   components from being accidentally passed to the page callback function (data

   706   structure change).

   707 - Removed a non-standard "name" attribute from Drupal's default Content-Type

   708   header for file downloads.

   709 - Fixed the theme settings form to properly clean up submitted values in

   710   $form_state['values'] when the form is submitted (data structure change).

   711 - Fixed an inconsistency by removing the colon from the end of the label on

   712   multi-valued form fields (minor string change).

   713 - Added support for 'weight' in hook_field_widget_info() to allow modules to

   714   control the order in which widgets are displayed in the Field UI.

   715 - Updated various tables in the OpenID and Book modules to use the default

   716   "empty table" text pattern (string change).

   717 - Added proxy server support to drupal_http_request().

   718 - Added "lang" attributes to language links, to better support screen readers.

   719 - Fixed double occurrence of a "ul" HTML tag on secondary local tasks in the

   720   Seven theme (markup change).

   721 - Fixed bugs which caused taxonomy vocabulary and shortcut set titles to be

   722   double-escaped. The fix replaces the taxonomy vocabulary overview page and

   723   "Edit shortcuts" menu items' title callback entries in hook_menu() with new

   724   functions that do not escape HTML characters (data structure change).

   725 - Modified the Update manager module to allow drupal.org to collect usage

   726   statistics for individual modules and themes, rather than only for entire

   727   projects.

   728 - Modified the node listing database query on Drupal's default front page to

   729   add table aliases for better query altering (this is a data structure change

   730   affecting code which implements hook_query_alter() on this query).

   731 - Improved the translatability of the "Field type(s) in use" message on the

   732   modules page (admin-facing string change).

   733 - Fixed a regression which caused a "call to undefined function

   734   drupal_find_base_themes()" fatal error under rare circumstances.

   735 - Numerous API documentation improvements.

   736 - Additional automated test coverage.

   737 

   738 Drupal 7.16, 2012-10-17

   739 -----------------------

   740 - Fixed security issues (Arbitrary PHP code execution and information

   741   disclosure). See SA-CORE-2012-003.

   742 

   743 Drupal 7.15, 2012-08-01

   744 -----------------------

   745 - Introduced a 'user_password_reset_timeout' variable to allow the 24-hour

   746   expiration for user password reset links to be adjusted (API addition).

   747 - Fixed database errors due to ambiguous column names that occurred when

   748   EntityFieldQuery was used in certain situations.

   749 - Changed the drupal_array_get_nested_value() function to return a reference

   750   (API addition).

   751 - Changed the System module's hook_block_info() implementation to assign the

   752   "Main page content" and "System help" blocks to appropriate regions by

   753   default and prevent error messages on the block administration page (data

   754   structure change).

   755 - Fixed regression: Non-node entities couldn't be accessed with

   756   EntityFieldQuery.

   757 - Fixed regression: Optional radio buttons with an empty, non-NULL default

   758   value led to an illegal choice error when none were selected.

   759 - Reorganized the testing framework to split setUp() into specific sub-methods

   760   and fix several regressions in the process.

   761 - Fixed bug which made it impossible to search for strings that have not been

   762   translated into a particular language.

   763 - Renamed the "Field" column on the Manage Fields screen to "Field type", since

   764   the former was confusing and inaccurate (UI change).

  1019 Drupal 7.0, 2011-01-05 

  1020 ----------------------

  1021 - Database:

  1022     * Fully rewritten database layer utilizing PHP 5's PDO abstraction layer.

  1023     * Drupal now requires MySQL >= 5.0.15 or PostgreSQL >= 8.3.

  1024     * Added query builders for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, and SELECT queries.

  1025     * Support for master/slave replication, transactions, multi-insert queries,

  1026       and other features.

  1027     * Added support for the SQLite database engine.

  1028     * Default to InnoDB engine, rather than MyISAM, on MySQL when available.

  1029       This offers increased scalability and data integrity.

  1030 - Security:

  1031     * Protected cron.php -- cron will only run if the proper key is provided.

  1032     * Implemented a pluggable password system and much stronger password hashes

  1033       that are compatible with the Portable PHP password hashing framework.

  1034     * Rate limited login attempts to prevent brute-force password guessing, and

  1035       improved the flood control API to allow variable time windows and

  1036       identifiers for limiting user access to resources.

  1037     * Transformed the "Update status" module into the "Update manager" which

  1038       can securely install or update modules and themes via a web interface.

  1039 - Usability:

  1040     * Added contextual links (a.k.a. local tasks) to page elements, such as

  1041       blocks, nodes, or comments, which allows to perform the most common tasks

  1042       with a single click only.

  1043     * Improved installer requirements check.

  1044     * Improved support for integration of WYSIWYG editors.

  1045     * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for input format listings.

  1046     * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for language listing.

  1047     * Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for poll options.

  1048     * Provided descriptions and human-readable names for user permissions.

  1049     * Removed comment controls for users.

  1050     * Removed display order settings for comment module. Comment display

  1051       order can now be customized using the Views module.

  1052     * Removed the 'related terms' feature from taxonomy module since this can

  1053       now be achieved with Field API.

  1054     * Added additional features to the default installation profile, and

  1055       implemented a "slimmed down" profile designed for developers.

  1056     * Added a built-in, automated cron run feature, which is triggered by site

  1057       visitors.

  1058     * Added an administrator role which is assigned all permissions for

  1059       installed modules automatically.

  1060     * Image toolkits are now provided by modules (rather than requiring a

  1061       manual file copy to the includes directory).

  1062     * Added an edit tab to taxonomy term pages.

  1063     * Redesigned password strength validator.

  1064     * Redesigned the add content type screen.

  1065     * Highlight duplicate URL aliases.

  1066     * Renamed "input formats" to "text formats".

  1067     * Moved text format permissions to the main permissions page.

  1068     * Added configurable ability for users to cancel their own accounts.

  1069     * Added "vertical tabs", a reusable interface component that features

  1070       automatic summaries and increases usability.

  1071     * Replaced fieldsets on node edit and add pages with vertical tabs.

  1072 - Performance:

  1073     * Improved performance on uncached page views by loading multiple core

  1074       objects in a single database query.

  1075     * Improved performance for logged-in users by reducing queries for path

  1076       alias lookups.

  1077     * Improved support for HTTP proxies (including reverse proxies), allowing

  1078       anonymous page views to be served entirely from the proxy.

  1079 - Documentation:

  1080     * Hook API documentation now included in Drupal core.

  1081 - News aggregator:

  1082     * Added OPML import functionality for RSS feeds.

  1083     * Optionally, RSS feeds may be configured to not automatically generate feed blocks.

  1084 - Search:

  1085     * Added support for language-aware searches.

  1086 - Aggregator:

  1087     * Introduced architecture that allows pluggable parsers and processors for

  1088       syndicating RSS and Atom feeds.

  1089     * Added options to suspend updating specific feeds and never discard feeds

  1090       items.

  1091 - Testing:

  1092     * Added test framework and tests.

  1093 - Improved time zone support:

  1094     * Drupal now uses PHP's time zone database when rendering dates in local

  1095       time. Site-wide and user-configured time zone offsets have been converted

  1096       to time zone names, e.g. Africa/Abidjan.

  1097     * In some cases the upgrade and install scripts do not choose the preferred

  1098       site default time zone. The automatically-selected time zone can be

  1099       corrected at admin/config/regional/settings.

  1100     * If your site is being upgraded from Drupal 6 and you do not have the

  1101       contributed date or event modules installed, user time zone settings will

  1102       fallback to the system time zone and will have to be reconfigured by each user.

  1103     * User-configured time zones now serve as the default time zone for PHP

  1104       date/time functions.

  1105 - Filter system:

  1106     * Revamped the filter API and text format storage.

  1107     * Added support for default text formats to be assigned on a per-role basis.

  1108     * Refactored the HTML corrector to take advantage of PHP 5 features.

  1109 - User system:

  1110     * Added clean API functions for creating, loading, updating, and deleting

  1111       user roles and permissions.

  1112     * Refactored the "access rules" component of user module: The user module

  1113       now provides a simple interface for blocking single IP addresses. The

  1114       previous functionality in the user module for restricting certain e-mail

  1115       addresses and usernames is now available as a contributed module. Further,

  1116       IP address range blocking is no longer supported and should be implemented

  1117       at the operating system level.

  1118     * Removed per-user themes: Contributed modules with similar functionality

  1119       are available.

  1120 - OpenID:

  1121     * Added support for Gmail and Google Apps for Domain identifiers. Users can

  1122       now login with their user@example.com identifier when example.com is powered

  1123       by Google.

  1124     * Made the OpenID module more pluggable.

  1125 - Added code registry:

  1126     * Using the registry, modules declare their includable files via their .info file,

  1127       allowing Drupal to lazy-load classes and interfaces as needed.

  1128 - Theme system:

  1129     * Removed the Bluemarine, Chameleon and Pushbutton themes. These themes live

  1130       on as contributed themes (http://drupal.org/project/bluemarine,

  1131       http://drupal.org/project/chameleon and http://drupal.org/project/pushbutton).

  1132     * Added Stark theme to make analyzing Drupal's default HTML and CSS easier.

  1133     * Added Seven as the default administration theme.

  1134     * Variable preprocessing of theme hooks prior to template rendering now goes

  1135       through two phases: a 'preprocess' phase and a new 'process' phase. See
