Download Drupal 7.0 RC 3

The developers behind Drupal have released the third and most likely final release candidate of version 7.0. Drupal is a development package written in PHP that allows users to manage, organize and publish content. It contains many features that can be found in, for example, content management systems, weblogs and forums. In version 7.0 we find, among other things, a renewed interface, which should be simpler and more intuitive. Furthermore, additional fields can now be added to content, users, terms and more, such as URLs, images and lists of options. an automatic test has also been added to the framework to detect bugs in the code. Finally, the database layer has been completely rewritten, which solves many limitations of the database layer in Drupal 6.

Drupal 7.0 RC 3 Released

We are proud to present to you the third (and likely final) release candidate of Drupal 7.0. Big news since last time!

so. It’s officially GO time for final testing! Something to keep you busy over the holidays. 🙂

Since the last release candidate two weeks ago, we have fixed numerous bugs, improved the AJAX framework, field UI etc. Also alternate database systems have seen serious improvement thanks to http://ci.drupal.org/. PostgreSQL 9.0 now installs without errors, and we have 100% tests passing on SQLite! And files[] is no longer required in .info files for each file! Only if the file in question registers a class or interface. $cruft–;
