drupal 7.54

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.

Three change records are associated with the 7.54 release:

• Modules can now define theme engines
• Drupal 7 adds menu tree render structure to (pre-)process hooks for theme_menu_tree()
• New drupal_is_https() API function added

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.
