Release notes

Maintenance release of the Drupal 7 series. Includes a variety of improvements and bug fixes (no major, non-backwards-compatible new functionality).

No security fixes are included in this release.

Two change records are associated with the 7.51 release:

Except for documentation additions, no changes have been made to the .htaccess, web.config, robots.txt, and default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary.

PHP 7 support:

Just a reminder that as of Drupal 7.50, there are no known PHP 7 issues (see #2656548: Fully support PHP 7.0 in Drupal 7). PHP 7 is officially supported by Drupal 7 and recommended for use where possible.

Known issues:

This release causes drag-and-drop functionality in Drupal to stop working for certain Chrome, Internet Explorer 11 and Edge users on sites which updated to a jQuery version between 1.7 and 1.11.0 (for example as obtained via the jQuery Update module). See the issue for more details. To solve this problem, update to Drupal 7.53. (Switching to a different jQuery version will also fix the problem.)

Major changes since 7.50:

  • The Update module now also checks for updates to a disabled theme that is used as an admin theme.
  • Exceptions thrown in dblog_watchdog() are now caught and ignored.
  • Clarified the warning that appears when modules are missing or have moved.
  • Log messages are now XSS filtered on display.
  • Draggable tables now work on touch screen devices.
  • Added a setting for allowing double underscores in CSS identifiers (https://www.drupal.org/node/2810369).
  • If a user navigates away from a page while an Ajax request is running they will no longer get an error message saying "An Ajax HTTP request terminated abnormally".
  • The system_region_list() API function now takes an optional third parameter which allows region name translations to be skipped when they are not needed (API addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2810365).
