Maintenance release of the Drupal 7 series. Includes bug fixes and small API/feature improvements only (no major, non-backwards-compatible new functionality).

No security fixes are included in this release.

• - The default form cache expiration of 6 hours is now configurable (API
  addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2857751).
