Drupal 7.17 released
Update: Drupal 7.18 is now available.
Drupal 7.17, a maintenance release with numerous bug fixes (no security fixes) is now available for download. See the Drupal 7.17 release notes for a full listing.
Upgrading your existing Drupal 7 sites is strongly recommended. There are no major new features in this release. For more information about the Drupal 7.x release series, consult the Drupal 7.0 release announcement.
Security information
We have a security announcement mailing list and a history of all security advisories, as well as an RSS feed with the most recent security advisories. We strongly advise Drupal administrators to sign up for the list.
Drupal 7 includes the built-in Update Manager module, which informs you about important updates to your modules and themes.
There are no security fixes in this release of Drupal core.
Bug reports
Drupal 7.x is being maintained, so given enough bug fixes (not just bug reports), more maintenance releases will be made available, according to our monthly release cycle.
Changelog
Drupal 7.17 is a bug fix only release. The full list of changes between the 7.16 and 7.17 releases can be found by reading the 7.17 release notes. A complete list of all bug fixes in the stable 7.x branch can be found in the git commit log.
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
- #1836082: Drupal 7.17 breaks some form redirects (including views exposed filters): This affects sites which use a "Reset" button on exposed filters in the Views module. The button will not work correctly and will lead to a browser redirect loop unless the fix mentioned in that issue is applied.
