drupal 7.71

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.

This is the first release to fully support PHP 7.4. Please test and report any bugs in the issue queue.

No changes have been made to the .htaccess, web.config, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary.

Major changes since 7.68:

• Fix for jQuery Form bug in Chromium-based browsers
• Fully support PHP 7.4
