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 7.31, 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 7.28, 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 7.26, 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 7.25, 2014-01-02
-----------------------
- Fixed a bug in node_save() which prevented the saved node from being updated

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).
- 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 7.17, 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).

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.
Release notes
Maintenance and security release of the Drupal 7 series.
This release fixes security vulnerabilities. Sites are urged to upgrade
immediately after reading the security announcement:
SA-CORE-2012-003 - Drupal core - Arbitrary PHP code execution and
Information disclosure
No other fixes are included.
Release notes says "no security fix" but it really fixes SA49131:
<http://secunia.com/advisories/49131/>.
Release notes
Maintenance release of the Drupal 7 series. Includes bugfixes and small
API/feature improvements only (no major new functionality); significant new
features are only being added to the forthcoming Drupal 8.0 release.
No security fixes are included in this release.
Besides documentation fixes, no changes have been made to the .htaccess,
robots.txt or settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions
of those files is not necessary. Known issues:
#1708722: Call to undefined function drupal_find_base_themes() in
drupal-7.15/includes/module.inc on line 184: Under rare circumstances
which are still under investigation (most likely, sites with a sub-theme
enabled and a module enabled that calls certain code early in Drupal's
page request), upgrading to Drupal 7.15 may lead to a fatal error. A
patch to fix this is available.
