// $Id: CHANGELOG.txt,v 1.370 2010-07-09 00:15:34 webchick Exp $
Drupal 7.0, xxxx-xx-xx (development version)
----------------------
- Database:
* Fully rewritten database layer utilizing PHP 5's PDO abstraction layer.
* Drupal now requires MySQL >= 5.0.15 or PostgreSQL >= 8.3.
* Added query builders for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, and SELECT queries.
* Support for master/slave replication, transactions, multi-insert queries,
and other features.
* Added support for the SQLite database engine.
* Default to InnoDB engine, rather than MyISAM, on MySQL when available.
This offers increased scalability and data integrity.
- Security:
* Protected cron.php -- cron will only run if the proper key is provided.
* Implemented a pluggable password system and much stronger password hashes
that are compatible with the Portable PHP password hashing framework.
* Rate limited login attempts to prevent brute-force password guessing, and
improved the flood control API to allow variable time windows and
identifiers for limiting user access to resources.
* Transformed the "Update status" module into the "Update manager" which
can securely install or update modules and themes via a web interface.
- Usability:
* Added contextual links (a.k.a. local tasks) to page elements, such as
blocks, nodes, or comments, which allows to perform the most common tasks
with a single click only.
* Improved installer requirements check.
* Improved support for integration of WYSIWYG editors.
* Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for input format listings.
* Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for language listing.
* Implemented drag-and-drop positioning for poll options.
* Provided descriptions and human-readable names for user permissions.
* Removed comment controls for users.
* Removed display order settings for comment module. Comment display
order can now be customized using the Views module.
* Removed the 'related terms' feature from taxonomy module since this can
now be achieved with Field API.
* Added additional features to the default install profile, and implemented
a "slimmed down" install profile designed for developers.
* Added a built-in, automated cron run feature, which is triggered by site
visitors.
* Added an administrator role which is assigned all permissions for
installed modules automatically.
* Image toolkits are now provided by modules (rather than requiring a
manual file copy to the includes directory).
* Added an edit tab to taxonomy term pages.
* Redesigned password strength validator.
* Redesigned the add content type screen.
* Highlight duplicate URL aliases.
* Renamed "input formats" to "text formats".
* Moved text format permissions to the main permissions page.
* Added configurable ability for users to cancel their own accounts.
* Added "vertical tabs", a reusable interface component that features
automatic summaries and increases usability.
* Replaced fieldsets on node edit and add pages with vertical tabs.
- Performance:
* Improved performance on uncached page views by loading multiple core
objects in a single database query.
* Improved performance for logged-in users by reducing queries for path
alias lookups.
* Improved support for HTTP proxies (including reverse proxies), allowing
anonymous page views to be served entirely from the proxy.
- Documentation:
* Hook API documentation now included in Drupal core.
- News aggregator:
* Added OPML import functionality for RSS feeds.
* Optionally, RSS feeds may be configured to not automatically generate feed blocks.
- Search:
* Added support for language-aware searches.
- Aggregator:
* Introduced architecture that allows pluggable parsers and processors for
syndicating RSS and Atom feeds.
* Added options to suspend updating specific feeds and never discard feeds
items.
- Testing:
* Added test framework and tests.
- Improved time zone support:
* Drupal now uses PHP's time zone database when rendering dates in local
time. Site-wide and user-configured time zone offsets have been converted
to time zone names, e.g. Africa/Abidjan.
* In some cases the upgrade and install scripts do not choose the preferred
site default time zone. The automatically-selected time zone can be
corrected at admin/config/regional/settings.
* If your site is being upgraded from Drupal 6 and you do not have the
contributed date or event modules installed, user time zone settings will
fallback to the system time zone and will have to be reconfigured by each user.
* User-configured time zones now serve as the default time zone for PHP
date/time functions.
- Filter system:
* Revamped the filter API and text format storage.
* Added support for default text formats to be assigned on a per-role basis.
* Refactored the HTML corrector to take advantage of PHP 5 features.
- User system:
* Added clean API functions for creating, loading, updating, and deleting
user roles and permissions.
* Refactored the "access rules" component of user module: The user module
now provides a simple interface for blocking single IP addresses. The
previous functionality in the user module for restricting certain e-mail
addresses and usernames is now available as a contributed module. Further,
IP address range blocking is no longer supported and should be implemented
at the operating system level.
* Removed per-user themes: Contributed modules with similar functionality
are available.
- OpenID:
* Added support for Gmail and Google Apps for Domain identifiers. Users can
now login with their [email protected] identifier when domain.com is powered
by Google.
* Made the OpenID module more pluggable.
- Added code registry:
* Using the registry, modules declare their includable files via their .info file,
allowing Drupal to lazy-load classes and interfaces as needed.
- Theme system:
* Removed the Bluemarine, Chameleon and Pushbutton themes. These themes live
on as contributed themes (http://drupal.org/project/bluemarine,
http://drupal.org/project/chameleon and http://drupal.org/project/pushbutton).
* Added Stark theme to make analyzing Drupal's default HTML and CSS easier.
* Added Seven theme as the default administration interface theme.
* Variable preprocessing of theme hooks prior to template rendering now goes
through two phases: a 'preprocess' phase and a new 'process' phase. See
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
* Theme hooks implemented as functions (rather than as templates) can now
also have preprocess (and process) functions. See
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme/7 for details.
- File handling:
* Files are now first class Drupal objects with file_load(), file_save(),
and file_validate() functions and corresponding hooks.
* The file_move(), file_copy() and file_delete() functions now operate on
file objects and invoke file hooks so that modules are notified and can
respond to changes.
* For the occasions when only basic file manipulation are needed--such as
uploading a site logo--that don't require the overhead of databases and
hooks, the current unmanaged copy, move and delete operations have been
preserved but renamed to file_unmanaged_*().
* Rewrote file handling to use PHP stream wrappers to enable support for
both public and private files and to support pluggable storage mechanisms
and access to remote resources (e.g. S3 storage or Flickr photos).
* The mime_extension_mapping variable has been removed. Modules that need to
alter the default MIME type extension mappings should implement
hook_file_mimetype_mapping_alter().
* Added the hook_file_url_alter() hook, which makes it possible to serve
files from a CDN.
* Added a field specifically for uploading files, previously provided by
the contributed module FileField.
- Image handling:
* Improved image handling, including better support for add-on image
libraries.
* Added API and interface for creating advanced image thumbnails.
* Inclusion of additional effects such as rotate and desaturate.
* Added a field specifically for uploading images, previously provided by
the contributed module ImageField.
- Added aliased multi-site support:
* Added support for mapping domain names to sites directories.
- Added RDF support:
* Modules can declare RDF namespaces which are serialized in the <html> tag
for RDFa support.
* Modules can specify how their data structure maps to RDF.
* Added support for RDFa export of nodes, comments, terms, users, etc. and
their fields.
- Search engine optimization and web linking:
* Added a rel="canonical" link on node and comment pages to prevent
duplicate content indexing by search engines.
* Added a default rel="shortlink" link on node and comment pages that
advertises a short link as an alternative URL to third-party services.
* Meta information is now alterable by all modules before rendering.
- Field API:
* Custom data fields may be attached to nodes, users, comments and taxonomy
terms.
* Node bodies and teasers are now Field API fields instead of
