Drupal 7.50, 2016-07-07
-----------------------
- Added a new "administer fields" permission for trusted users, which is
required in addition to other permissions to use the field UI
(https://www.drupal.org/node/2483307).
- Added clickjacking protection to Drupal core by setting the X-Frame-Options
header to SAMEORIGIN by default (https://www.drupal.org/node/2735873).
- Added support for full UTF-8 (emojis, Asian symbols, mathematical symbols) on
MySQL and other database drivers when the site and database are configured to
allow it (https://www.drupal.org/node/2761183).
- Improved performance by avoiding a re-scan of directories when a file is
missing; instead, trigger a PHP warning (minor API change:
https://www.drupal.org/node/2581445).
- Made it possible to use any PHP callable in Ajax form callbacks, form API
form-building functions, and form API wrapper callbacks (API addition:
https://www.drupal.org/node/2761169).
- Fixed that following a password reset link while logged in leaves users unable
to change their password (minor user interface change:
https://www.drupal.org/node/2759023).
- Implemented various fixes for automated test failures on PHP 5.4+ and PHP 7.
Drupal core automated tests now pass in these environments.
- Improved support for PHP 7 by fixing various problems.
- Fixed various bugs with PHP 5.5+ imagerotate(), including when incorrect
color indices are passed in.
- Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.43 that allowed files uploaded by
anonymous users to be lost after form validation errors, and that also caused
regressions with certain contributed modules.
- Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.36 which caused the default value
of hidden textarea fields to be ignored.
- Fixed robots.txt to allow search engines to access CSS, JavaScript and image
files.
- Changed wording on the Update Manager settings page to clarify that the
option to check for disabled module updates also applies to uninstalled
modules (administrative-facing translatable string change).
- Changed the help text when editing menu links and configuring URL redirect
actions so that it does not reference "Drupal" or the drupal.org website
(administrative-facing translatable string change).
- Fixed the locale safety check that is used to ensure that translations are
safe to allow for tokens in the href/src attributes of translated strings.
- Fixed that URL generation only works on port 80 when using domain based
language negotation.
- Made method="get" forms work inside the administrative overlay. The fix adds
a new hidden field to these forms when they appear inside the overlay (minor
data structure change).
- Increased maxlength of menu link title input fields in the node form and
menu link form from 128 to 255 characters.
- Removed meaningless post-check=0 and pre-check=0 cache control headers from
Drupal HTTP responses.
- Added a .editorconfig file to auto-configure editors that support it.
- Added --directory option to run-tests.sh for easier test discovery of all
tests within a project.
- Made run-tests.sh exit with a failure code when there are test fails or
problems running the script.
- Fixed that cookies from previous tests are still present when a new test
starts in DrupalWebTestCase.
- Improved performance of queries on the {authmap} database table.
- Fixed handling of missing files and functions inside the registry.
- Fixed Ajax handling for tableselect form elements that use checkboxes.
- Fixed a bug which caused ip_address() to return nothing when the client IP
address and proxy IP address are the same.
- Added a new option to format_xml_elements() to allow for already encoded
values.
- Changed the {history} table's node ID field to be an unsigned integer, to
match the same field in the {node} table and to prevent errors with very
large node IDs.
- Added an explicit page callback to the "admin/people/create" menu item in the
User module (minor data structure change). Previously this automatically
inherited the page callback from the parent "admin/people" menu item, which
broke contributed modules that override the "admin/people" page.
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.44, 2016-06-15
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (privilege escalation). See SA-CORE-2016-002.
Drupal 7.43, 2016-02-24
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2016-001.
Drupal 7.42, 2016-02-03
-----------------------
- Stopped invoking hook_flush_caches() on every cron run, since some modules
use that hook for expensive operations that are only needed on cache clears.
- Changed the default .htaccess and web.config to block Composer-related files.
- Added static caching to module_load_include() to improve performance.
- Fixed double-encoding bugs in select field widgets provided by the Options
module. The fix deprecates the 'strip_tags' property on option widgets and
replaces it with a new 'strip_tags_and_unescape' property (minor data
structure change).
- Improved MySQL 5.7 support by changing the MySQL database driver to stop
using the ANSI SQL mode alias, which has different meanings for different
MySQL versions.
- Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.39 which prevented autocomplete
functionality from working on servers that are not configured to
automatically recognize index.php.
- Updated the Archive_Tar PEAR package to the latest 1.4.0 release, to fix bugs
with tar file handling on various operating systems.
- Fixed fatal errors on node preview when a field is displayed in the node
teaser but hidden in the full node view. The fix removes a
field_attach_prepare_view() call from the node_preview() function since it is
redundant with one in the node preview theme layer.
- Improved the description of the "Trimmed" format option on text fields
(translatable string change, and minor UI and data structure change).
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.41, 2015-10-21
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (open redirect). See SA-CORE-2015-004.
Drupal 7.40, 2015-10-14
-----------------------
- Made Drupal's code for parsing .info files run much faster and use much less
memory.
- Prevented drupal_http_request() from returning an error when it receives a
201 through 206 HTTP status code.
- Added support for autoloading traits via the registry on sites running PHP
5.4 or higher.
- Allowed the user-picture.tpl.php theme template to have HTML classes besides
the default "user-picture" class printed in it (markup change).
- Fixed the URL text filter to convert e-mail addresses with plus signs into
mailto: links.
- Added alternate text to file icons displayed by the File module, to improve
accessibility (string change, and minor API addition to theme_file_icon()).
- Changed one-time login link failure messages to be displayed as errors or
warnings as appropriate, rather than as regular status messages (minor UI
change and data structure change).
- Changed the default settings.php configuration to exclude private files from
the "404_fast_paths" behavior.
- Changed the page that displays filter tips for a particular text format, for
example filter/tips/full_html, to return "page not found" or "access denied"
if the format does not exist or the user does not have access to it. This
change adds a new menu item to the Filter module's hook_menu() entry (minor
data structure change).
- Added a new hook, hook_block_cid_parts_alter(), to allow modules to alter the
cache keys used for caching a particular block.
- Made drupal_set_message() display and return messages when "0" is passed in
as the message to set.
- Fixed non-functional "Files displayed by default" setting on file fields.
- The "worker callback" provided in hook_cron_queue_info() and the "finished"
callback specified during batch processing can now be any PHP callable
instead of just functions.
- Prevented drupal_set_time_limit() from decreasing the time limit in the case
where the PHP maximum execution time is already unlimited.
- Changed the default thousand marker for numeric fields from a space ("1 000")
to nothing ("1000") (minor UI change: https://www.drupal.org/node/1388376).
- Prevented malformed theme .info files (without a "name" key) from causing
exceptions during menu rebuilds. If an .info file without a "name" key is
found in a module or theme directory, Drupal will now use the module or
theme's machine name as the display name instead.
- Made the format column in the {date_format_locale} database table
case-sensitive, to match the equivalent column in the {date_formats} table.
- Fixed a bug in the Statistics module that caused JavaScript files attached to
a node while it is being viewed to be omitted from the page.
- Added an optional 'project:' prefix that can be added to dependencies in a
module's .info file to indicate which project the dependency resides in (API
addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2299747).
- Fixed various bugs that occurred after hooks were invoked early in the Drupal
bootstrap and that caused module_implements() and drupal_alter() to cache an
incomplete set of hook implementations for later use.
- Set the X-Content-Type-Options header to "nosniff" when possible, to prevent
certain web browsers from picking an unsafe MIME type.
- Prevented the database API from executing multiple queries at once on MySQL,
if the site's PHP version is new enough to do so. This is a secondary defense
against SQL injection (API change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2463973).
- Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused the upgrade
to fail when there were multiple file records pointing to the same file.
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.39, 2015-08-19

-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-002.
Drupal 7.37, 2015-05-07
-----------------------

to become disabled if they were defined by a no-longer-enabled module.
- Removed a confusing description regarding automatic time zone detection from
the user account form (minor UI and data structure change).
- Allowed custom HTML tags with a dash in the name to pass through filter_xss()
when specified in the list of allowed tags.
- Allowed hook_field_schema() implementations to specify indexes for fields
based on a fixed-length column prefix (rather than the entire column), as was
already allowed in hook_schema() implementations.
- Fixed PDO exceptions on PostgreSQL when accessing invalid entity URLs.
- Added a sites/all/libraries folder to the codebase, with instructions for
using it.
- Added a description to the "Administer text formats and filters" permission
on the Permissions page (string change).
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.36, 2015-04-01
-----------------------
- Added a 'file_public_schema' variable which allows modules that define
publicly-accessible streams in hook_stream_wrappers() to bypass file download
access checks when processing managed file upload fields.
- Fixed a bug that caused database query tags not to be added to search-related
database queries under many circumstances, and which prevented the
corresponding hook_query_TAG_alter() implementations from being called.
- Fixed the "for" attribute on managed file upload field labels to improve
accessibility (minor markup change).
- Added a 'javascript_always_use_jquery' variable which can be set to FALSE by
sites that may not need jQuery loaded on all pages, and a 'requires_jquery'
option to drupal_add_js() which modules can set to FALSE when adding
JavaScript files that have no dependency on jQuery (API addition:
https://www.drupal.org/node/2462717).
- Fixed incorrect foreign keys in the User module's role_permission and
users_roles database tables.
- Changed permission descriptions throughout Drupal core to consistently link
to relevant administrative pages, regardless of whether the user viewing the
Permissions page can view the page being linked to (minor UI change).
- Fixed the drupal_add_region_content() function so that it actually adds
content to the page.
- Added an 'image_suppress_itok_output' variable to allow sites already using
the existing 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to also prevent
security tokens from appearing in image derivative URLs.
- Fixed double-escaping of theme names in the Block module administrative
interface (minor string change).
- Added basic support for Xdebug when running automated tests.
- Fixed a bug which caused previewing a node to remove elements from the node
being edited. With this fix, calling node_preview() will no longer modify the
passed-in node object (minor API change).
- Added a user_has_role() function to check whether a user has a particular
role (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2462411).
- Fixed installation failures when an opcode cache is enabled.
- Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused private
files to be inaccessible.
- Fixed a bug in the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade path which caused user
pictures to be lost.
- Fixed missing language code in hook_field_attach_view_alter() when it is
invoked from field_view_field().
- Stopped sending ETag and Last-Modified headers for uncached page requests,
since they break caching for certain Varnish and Nginx configurations.
- Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-4 test classes to be used in
Drupal 7.
- Fixed a fatal error that occurred when using the Comment module's "Unpublish
comment containing keyword(s)" action.
- Changed the "lang" attribute on language links to "xml:lang" so it validates
as XHTML (minor markup change).
- Prevented the form API from allowing arrays to be submitted for various form
elements, such as textfields, textareas, and password fields (API change:
https://www.drupal.org/node/2462723).
- Fixed a bug in the Contact module which caused the global user object to have
the incorrect name and e-mail address during the remainder of the page
request after the contact form is submitted.
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.35, 2015-03-18
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2015-001.
Drupal 7.34, 2014-11-19
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-006.
Drupal 7.33, 2014-11-07
-----------------------
- Began storing the file modification time of each module and theme in the
{system} database table so that contributed modules can use it to identify
recently changed modules and themes (minor data structure change to the
return value of system_get_info() and other related functions).
- Added a "Did you mean?" feature to the run-tests.sh script for running
automated tests from the command line, to help developers who are attempting
to run a particular test class or group.
- Changed the date format used in various HTTP headers output by Drupal core
from RFC 1123 format to RFC 7231 format.
- Added a "block_cache_bypass_node_grants" variable to allow sites which have
node access modules enabled to use the block cache if desired (API addition).
- Made image derivative generation HTTP requests return a 404 error (rather
than a 500 error) when the source image does not exist.
- Fixed a bug which caused user pictures to be removed from the user object
after saving, and resulted in data loss if the user account was subsequently
re-saved.
- Fixed a bug in which field_has_data() did not return TRUE for fields that
only had data in older entity revisions, leading to loss of the field's data
when the field configuration was edited.
- Fixed a bug which caused the Ajax progress throbber to appear misaligned in
many situatons (minor styling change).
- Prevented the Bartik theme from lower-casing the "Permalink" link on
comments, for improved multilingual support (minor UI change).
- Added a "preferred_menu_links" tag to the database query that is used by
menu_link_get_preferred() to find the preferred menu link for a given path,
to make it easier to alter.
- Increased the maximum allowed length of block titles to 255 characters
(database schema change to the {block} table).
- Removed the Field module's field_modules_uninstalled() function, since it did
not do anything when it was invoked.
- Added a "theme_hook_original" variable to templates and theme functions and
an optional sitewide theme debug mode, to provide contextual information in
the page's HTML to theme developers. The theme debug mode is based on the one
used with Twig in Drupal 8 and can be accessed by setting the "theme_debug"
variable to TRUE (API addition).
- Added an entity_view_mode_prepare() API function to allow entity-defining
modules to properly invoke hook_entity_view_mode_alter(), and used it
throughout Drupal core to fix bugs with the invocation of that hook (API
change: https://www.drupal.org/node/2369141).
- Security improvement: Made the database API's orderBy() method sanitize the
sort direction ("ASC" or "DESC") for queries built with db_select(), so that
calling code does not have to.
- Changed the RDF module to consistently output RDF metadata for nodes and
comments near where the node is rendered in the HTML (minor markup and data
structure change).
- Added an HTML class to RDFa metatags throughout Drupal to prevent them from
accidentally affecting the site appearance (minor markup change).
- Fixed a bug in the Unicode requirements check which prevented installing
Drupal on PHP 5.6.
- Fixed a bug which caused drupal_get_bootstrap_phase() to abort the bootstrap
when called early in the page request.
- Renamed the "Search result" view mode to "Search result highlighting input"
to better reflect how it is used (UI change).
- Improved database queries generated by EntityFieldQuery in the case where
delta or language condition groups are used, to reduce the number of INNER
JOINs (this is a minor data structure change affecting code which implements
hook_query_alter() on these queries).
- Removed special-case behavior for file uploads which allowed user #1 to
bypass maximum file size and user quota limits.
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.32, 2014-10-15
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (SQL injection). See SA-CORE-2014-005.
Drupal 7.31, 2014-08-06
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2014-004.
Drupal 7.30, 2014-07-24
-----------------------
- Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.29 that caused files or images
attached to taxonomy terms to be deleted when the taxonomy term was edited
and resaved (and other related bugs with contributed and custom modules).
- Added a warning on the permissions page to recommend restricting access to
the "View site reports" permission to trusted administrators. See
DRUPAL-PSA-2014-002.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.29, 2014-07-16
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-003.
Drupal 7.28, 2014-05-08
-----------------------
- Fixed a regression introduced in Drupal 7.27 that caused JavaScript to break
on older browsers (such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier) when Ajax was
used.
- Increased the timeout used by the Update Manager module when it fetches data
from drupal.org (from 5 seconds to 30 seconds), to work around a problem
which causes incomplete information about security updates to be presented to
site administrators. This fix may lead to a performance slowdown on the
Update Manager administration pages, when installing Drupal distributions,
and (for sites that use the automated cron feature) on occasional page loads
by site visitors.
- Fixed the behavior of the token system's "[node:summary]" token when the body
field does not have a manual summary.
- Changed the behavior of db_query_temporary() so that it works on SELECT
queries even when they have leading comments/whitespace. A side effect of
this fix is that db_query_temporary() will now fail with an error if it is
ever used on non-SELECT queries.
- Added a "node_admin_filter" tag to the database query used to build the list
of nodes on the content administration page, to make it easier to alter.
- Made the cron queue system log any exceptions that are thrown while an item
in the queue is being processed, rather than stopping the entire PHP request.
- Improved screen reader support by adding an aria-live HTML attribute to file
upload fields when there is an error uploading the file (minor markup
change).
- Made the pager on the Tracker module listing pages show the same number of
items as other pagers throughout Drupal core (minor UI change).
- Fixed a bug which caused caches not to be properly cleared when a file entity
was saved or deleted.
- Added several missing countries to the default list returned by
country_get_list() (string change).
- Replaced the term "weight" with "influence" in the content ranking settings
for search, and added help text for administrators (string change).
- Fixed untranslatable text strings in the administrative interface for the
"Crop" effect provided by the Image module (minor string change).
- Fixed a bug in the Taxonomy module update function introduced in Drupal 7.26
that caused memory and CPU problems on sites with very large numbers of
unpublished nodes.
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.27, 2014-04-16
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (information disclosure). See SA-CORE-2014-002.
Drupal 7.26, 2014-01-15
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2014-001.
Drupal 7.25, 2014-01-02
-----------------------
- Fixed a bug in node_save() which prevented the saved node from being updated
in hook_node_insert() and other similar hooks.
- Added a meta tag to install.php to prevent it from being indexed by search
engines even when Drupal is installed in a subfolder (minor markup change).
- Fixed a bug in the database API that caused frequent deadlock errors when
running merge queries on some servers.
- Performance improvement: Prevented block rehashing from writing blocks to the
database on every cache clear and cron run when the blocks have not changed.
This fix results in an extra 'saved' key which is added and set to TRUE for
each block returned by _block_rehash() that actually is saved to the database
(data structure change).
- Added an optional 'skip on cron' parameter to hook_cron_queue_info() to allow
queues to avoid being automatically processed on cron runs (API addition).
- Fixed a bug which caused hook_block_view_MODULE_DELTA_alter() to never be
invoked if the block delta had a hyphen in it. To implement the hook when the
block delta has a hyphen, modules should now replace hyphens with underscores
when constructing the function name for the hook implementation.
- Fixed a bug which caused cached pages to sometimes be sent to the browser
with incorrect compression. The fix adds a new 'page_compressed' key to the
$cache->data array returned by drupal_page_get_cache() (minor data structure
change).
- Fixed broken tests on PHP 5.5.
- Made the File and Image modules more robust when saving entities that have
deleted files attached. The code in file_field_presave() will now remove the
record of the deleted file from the entity before saving (minor data
structure change).
- Standardized menu callback functions throughout Drupal core to return
MENU_NOT_FOUND and MENU_ACCESS_DENIED rather than printing their own "page
not found" or "access denied" pages (minor API change in the return value of
these functions under some circumstances).
- Fixed a bug in which caches were not properly cleared when a node was deleted
via the administrative interface.
- Changed the Bartik theme to render content contained in <pre>, <code> and
similar tags in a larger font size, so it is easier to read.
- Fixed a bug in the Search module that caused exceptions to be thrown during
searches if the server was not configured to represent decimal points as a
period.
- Fixed a regression in the Image module that made image_style_url() not work
when a relative path (rather than a complete file URI) was passed to it.
- Added an optional feature to the Statistics module to allow node views to be
tracked by Ajax requests rather than during the server-side generation of the
page. This allows the node counter to work on sites that use external page
caches (string change and new administrative option:
https://drupal.org/node/2164069).
- Added a link to the drupal.org documentation page for cron to the Cron
settings page (string change).
- Added a 'drupal_anonymous_user_object' variable to allow the anonymous user
object returned by drupal_anonymous_user() to be overridden with a classed
object (API addition).
- Changed the database API to allow inserts based on a SELECT * query to work
correctly.
- Changed the database schema of the {file_managed} table to allow Drupal to
manage files larger than 4 GB.
- Changed the File module's hook_field_load() implementation to prevent file
entity properties which have the same name as file or image field properties
from overwriting the field properties (minor API change).
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.24, 2013-11-20
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities), see SA-CORE-2013-003.
Drupal 7.23, 2013-08-07
-----------------------
- Fixed a fatal error on PostgreSQL databases when updating the Taxonomy module
from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.
- Fixed the default ordering of CSS files for sites using right-to-left
languages, to consistently place the right-to-left override file immediately
after the CSS it is overriding (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058463).
- Added a drupal_check_memory_limit() API function to allow the memory limit to
be checked consistently (API addition).
- Changed the default web.config file for IIS servers to allow favicon.ico
files which are present in the filesystem to be accessed.
- Fixed inconsistent support for the 'tel' protocol in Drupal's URL filtering
functions.
- Performance improvement: Allowed all hooks to be included in the
module_implements() cache, even those that are only invoked on HTTP POST
requests.
- Made the database system replace truncate queries with delete queries when
inside a transaction, to fix issues with PostgreSQL and other databases.
- Fixed a bug which caused nested contextual links to display improperly.
- Fixed a bug which prevented cached image derivatives from being flushed for
private files and other non-default file schemes.
- Fixed drupal_render() to always return an empty string when there is no
output, rather than sometimes returning NULL (minor API change).
- Added protection to cache_clear_all() to ensure that non-cache tables cannot
be truncated (API addition: a new isValidBin() method has been added to the
default database cache implementation).
- Changed the default .htaccess file to support HTTP authorization in CGI
environments.
- Changed the password reset form to pre-fill the username when requested via a
URL query parameter, and used this in the error message that appears after a
failed login attempt (minor data structure and behavior change).
- Fixed broken support for foreign keys in the field API.
- Fixed "No active batch" error when a user cancels their own account.
- Added a description to the "access content overview" permission on the
permissions page (string change).
- Added a drupal_array_diff_assoc_recursive() function to allow associative
arrays to be compared recursively (API addition).
- Added human-readable labels to image styles, in addition to the existing
machine-readable name (API change: https://drupal.org/node/2058503).
- Moved the drupal_get_hash_salt() function to bootstrap.inc and used it in
additional places in the code, for added security in the case where there is
no hash salt in settings.php.
- Fixed a regression in Drupal 7.22 that caused internal server errors for
sites running on very old Apache 1.x web servers.
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.22, 2013-04-03
-----------------------
- Allowed the drupal_http_request() function to be overridden so that
additional HTTP request capabilities can be added by contributed modules.
- Changed the Simpletest module to allow PSR-0 test classes to be used in
Drupal 7.
- Removed an unnecessary "Content-Disposition" header from private file
downloads; it prevented many private files from being viewed inline in a web
browser.
- Changed various field API functions to allow them to optionally act on a
single field within an entity (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1825844).
- Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal's file transfer functionality from working
on some PHP 5.4 systems.
- Fixed incorrect log message when theme() is called for a theme hook that does
not exist (minor string change).
- Fixed Drupal's token-replacement system to allow spaces in the token value.
- Changed the default behavior after a user creates a node they do not have
access to view. The user will now be redirected to the front page rather than
an access denied page.
- Fixed a bug which prevented empty HTTP headers (such as "0") from being set.
(Minor behavior change: Callers of drupal_add_http_header() must now set
FALSE explicitly to prevent a header from being sent at all; this was already
indicated in the function's documentation.)
- Fixed OpenID errors when more than one module implements hook_openid(). The
behavior is now changed so that if more than one module tries to set the same
parameter, the last module's change takes effect.
- Fixed a serious documentation bug: The $name variable in the
taxonomy-term.tpl.php theme template was incorrectly documented as being
sanitized when in fact it is not.
- Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
duplicate permission names in the User module's database tables.
- Added an empty "datatype" attribute to taxonomy term and username links to
make the RDFa markup upward compatible with RDFa 1.1 (minor markup addition).
- Fixed a bug which caused the denial-of-service protection added in Drupal
7.20 to break certain valid image URLs that had an extra slash in them.
- Fixed a bug with update queries in the SQLite database driver that prevented
Drupal from being installed with SQLite on PHP 5.4.
- Fixed enforced dependencies errors updating to recent versions of Drupal 7 on
certain non-MySQL databases.
- Refactored the Field module's caching behavior to obtain large improvements
in memory usage for sites with many fields and instances (API addition:
http://drupal.org/node/1915646).
- Fixed entity argument not being passed to implementations of
hook_file_download_access_alter(). The fix adds an additional context
parameter that can be passed when calling drupal_alter() for any hook (API
change: http://drupal.org/node/1882722).
- Fixed broken support for translatable comment fields (API change:
http://drupal.org/node/1874724).
- Added an assertThemeOutput() method to Simpletest to allow tests to check
that themed output matches an expected HTML string (API addition).
- Added a link to "Install another module" after a module has been successfully
downloaded via the Update Manager (UI change).
- Added an optional "exclusive" flag to installation profile .info files which
allows Drupal distributions to force a profile to be selected during
installation (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1961012).
- Fixed a bug which caused the database API to not properly close database
connections.
- Added a link to the URL for running cron from outside the site to the Cron
settings page (UI change).
- Fixed a bug which prevented image styles from being reverted on PHP 5.4.
- Made the default .htaccess rules protocol sensitive to improve security for
sites which use HTTPS and redirect between "www" and non-"www" versions of
the page.
- Numerous small bug fixes.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.21, 2013-03-06
-----------------------
- Allowed sites using the 'image_allow_insecure_derivatives' variable to still
have partial protection from the security issues fixed in Drupal 7.20.
Drupal 7.20, 2013-02-20
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (denial of service). See SA-CORE-2013-002.
Drupal 7.19, 2013-01-16
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2013-001.
Drupal 7.18, 2012-12-19
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (multiple vulnerabilities). See SA-CORE-2012-004.
Drupal 7.17, 2012-11-07
-----------------------
- Changed the default value of the '404_fast_html' variable to have a DOCTYPE
declaration.
- Made it possible to use associative arrays for the 'items' variable in
theme_item_list().
- Fixed a bug which prevented required form elements without a title from being
given an "error" class when the form fails validation.
- Prevented duplicate HTML IDs from appearing when two forms are displayed on
the same page and one of them is submitted with invalid data (minor markup
change).
- Fixed a bug which prevented Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrades on sites which had
stale data in the Upload module's database tables.
- Fixed a bug in the States API which prevented certain types of form elements
from being disabled when requested.
- Allowed aggregator feed items with author names longer than 255 characters to
have a truncated version saved to the database (rather than causing a fatal
error).
- Allowed aggregator feed items to have URLs longer than 255 characters
(schema change which results in several columns in the Aggregator module's
database tables changing from VARCHAR to TEXT fields).
- Added hook_taxonomy_term_view() and standardized the process for rendering
taxonomy terms to invoke hook_entity_view() and otherwise make it consistent
with other entities (API change: http://drupal.org/node/1808870).
- Added hook_entity_view_mode_alter() to allow modules to change entity view
modes on display (API addition: http://drupal.org/node/1833086).
- Fixed a bug which made database queries running a "LIKE" query on blob fields
fail on PostgreSQL databases. This caused errors during the Drupal 6 to
Drupal 7 upgrade.
- Changed the hook_menu() entry for Drupal's rss.xml page to prevent extra path
components from being accidentally passed to the page callback function (data
structure change).
- Removed a non-standard "name" attribute from Drupal's default Content-Type
header for file downloads.
- Fixed the theme settings form to properly clean up submitted values in
$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
multi-valued form fields (minor string change).
- Added support for 'weight' in hook_field_widget_info() to allow modules to
control the order in which widgets are displayed in the Field UI.
- Updated various tables in the OpenID and Book modules to use the default
"empty table" text pattern (string change).
- Added proxy server support to drupal_http_request().
- Added "lang" attributes to language links, to better support screen readers.
- Fixed double occurrence of a "ul" HTML tag on secondary local tasks in the
Seven theme (markup change).
- Fixed bugs which caused taxonomy vocabulary and shortcut set titles to be
double-escaped. The fix replaces the taxonomy vocabulary overview page and
"Edit shortcuts" menu items' title callback entries in hook_menu() with new
functions that do not escape HTML characters (data structure change).
- Modified the Update manager module to allow drupal.org to collect usage
statistics for individual modules and themes, rather than only for entire
projects.
- Modified the node listing database query on Drupal's default front page to
add table aliases for better query altering (this is a data structure change
affecting code which implements hook_query_alter() on this query).
- Improved the translatability of the "Field type(s) in use" message on the
modules page (admin-facing string change).
- Fixed a regression which caused a "call to undefined function
drupal_find_base_themes()" fatal error under rare circumstances.
- Numerous API documentation improvements.
- Additional automated test coverage.
Drupal 7.16, 2012-10-17
-----------------------
- Fixed security issues (Arbitrary PHP code execution and information
disclosure). See SA-CORE-2012-003.
Drupal 7.15, 2012-08-01
-----------------------
- Introduced a 'user_password_reset_timeout' variable to allow the 24-hour
expiration for user password reset links to be adjusted (API addition).
- Fixed database errors due to ambiguous column names that occurred when
EntityFieldQuery was used in certain situations.
- Changed the drupal_array_get_nested_value() function to return a reference
(API addition).
- Changed the System module's hook_block_info() implementation to assign the
"Main page content" and "System help" blocks to appropriate regions by
default and prevent error messages on the block administration page (data
structure change).
- Fixed regression: Non-node entities couldn't be accessed with
EntityFieldQuery.
- Fixed regression: Optional radio buttons with an empty, non-NULL default
value led to an illegal choice error when none were selected.
- Reorganized the testing framework to split setUp() into specific sub-methods
and fix several regressions in the process.
- Fixed bug which made it impossible to search for strings that have not been
translated into a particular language.
- Renamed the "Field" column on the Manage Fields screen to "Field type", since
the former was confusing and inaccurate (UI change).
- Performance improvement: Removed needless call to system_rebuild_module_data()
in field_sync_field_status(), greatly speeding up bulk module enable/disable.
- Fixed bug which prevented notifications from being sent when core, module, and
theme updates are available.
- Fixed bug which prevented sub-themes from inheriting the default values of
theme settings defined by the base theme.
- Fixed bug which prevented the jQuery UI Datepicker from being localized.
- Made Ajax alert dialogs respect error reporting settings.
- Fixed bug which prevented image styles from being deleted on PHP 5.4.
- Fixed bug: Language detection by domain only worked on port 80.
- Fixed regression: The first plural index on a page was not calculated
correctly.
- Introduced generic entity language support. Entities may now declare their
language property in hook_entity_info(), and modules working with entities
may access the language using entity_language() (API change:
http://drupal.org/node/1626346).
- Added EntityFieldQuery support for taxonomy bundles.
- Fixed issue where field form structure was incomplete if field_access()
returned FALSE. Instead of being incomplete, the form structure now has
#access set to FALSE and field form validation is skipped (data structure
change: http://drupal.org/node/1663020).
- Fixed data loss issue due to field_has_data() returning inconsistent results.
The fix adds an optional DANGEROUS_ACCESS_CHECK_OPT_OUT tag to entity field
