Msg to Drupal Development & Support Team

By green monkey on

I would like to thank everyone that works on and or supports Drupal. And I do mean everyone, even those that answer help questions in the Forum (which for me is a big help.) Congrads and special thanks for the newest Drupal child 4.6. I can't imagine the scope of work or hours that you guys put into Drupal, but I can surely see it the final product.

My programming skills are very basic and it usually takes me a long time to figure out why something is not working the way it should, which generally means a trip to the forum.

Technorati_tag Drupal module

By flevour on

I made an announcement in my blog about the upcoming release of Technorati tag module. You can read more and see it live in the linked blog entry. It basically creates a series of link to Tehnorati Tag Directory from a list of space separated words.
Any feedback will be really appreciated!

Five new themes courtesy of GoodBasic.com

By adrian on

The folks over at Good Basic have been doing a fine job of converting some of the brilliant templates available for various other CMS packages into Drupal templates. I have just committed, tagged for 4.6 release and created projects for the following new themes : Leaf, rdc*, Gespaa, Green Marinée and Blix.

UPDATE: I have uploaded screenshots of several of the contributed themes, including these five new ones, to the new Drupal.org theme gallery.

Drupal 4.6.0 released

By Steven on

After six months of development, the Drupal team is proud to announce the Drupal 4.6.0 release! Thanks to those who contributed to this release, either by contributing code, testing the release candidate, providing support or writing documentation.

The key changes since Drupal 4.5 include:

  • PHP5 support.
  • Better search usability, improved results and relevancy.
  • Personal contact forms for registered users.
  • Improved multi-site support to run multiple Drupal sites from a single code base.
  • Extensible RSS 2.0 syndication support for enclosures (e.g. podcasts) and categories.
  • Ping Ping-O-Matic, to ping all major ping services.
  • Usability improvements for permissions, block configuration, statistics tracking, logs, forum configuration, content administration, etc.

For a complete list, please consult the CHANGELOG. In addition to all of the above, we made significant improvements under the hood in terms of performance and better APIs. Contributed themes and modules have already begun to take advantage of these.
