Download Drupal 7.17

Version 7.17 of Drupal has been released. Drupal is a user-friendly and powerful content management platform written in PHP, with which, for example, websites can be created. Since version 7.0, there is a redesigned interface, which is said to be simpler and more intuitive. Additional fields, users, terms, URLs, images, lists of options and more can be added to content. 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 of the database layer limitations in Drupal 6. Version 7.17 is a bugfix release and does not add any new functionality.

Update notes

see the 7.17 release notes for details on important changes in this release.

In addition, Drupal 7.17 makes a change to the Update Manager module to allow Drupal.org to collect usage statistics for individual modules and themes, rather than only for entire projects. The usage statistics will remain anonymous. (For more information on how usage statistics are collected from your site, see the online handbook entry for the Update Manager module.)

Known issues
