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 7.17, 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.
Release notes says "no security fix" but it really fixes SA49131:

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.
