drupal 7.90

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.

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.

A change has been made to the .htaccess file that Drupal generates to prevent PHP execution in files directories. See the Change Record for more details of how to ensure your site's .htaccess files are up-to-date.

This release includes improved support for PHP 8.1 (and other recent PHP releases), but there may still be problems not revealed by Drupal core's test suite, especially on sites with contrib (and custom) modules. Please test, and report any problems in the appropriate issue queue.

This release also includes some major performance improvements for PostgreSQL. Special thanks to poker10 for providing several backports that make a significant difference.

As always, many thanks to everyone that contributed to this release of Drupal 7.

Major changes in 7.90:

• Editing a comment in D7 no longer changes the creation date
• D7 adds a "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff" header to cached page responses
• D7's Field API now supports entity ids that are strings (the entity system already did)
• D7 no longer accepts trailing dots in entity_ids which may affect some URLs
• CSRF token added to admin/reports/status/run-cron in Drupal 7
• Added PHP 8 support to .htaccess files in Drupal 7
