Drupal 7 released |
|
|
Drupal has announced the general availability of Drupal 7, the latest version of the open source content management platform that powers websites and applications. Drupal is itself powered by over half a million people located across 200 countries and speaking over 180 languages. Almost a thousand members of the Drupal community are direct contributors to Drupal 7 core, and thousands more develop contributed modules.  Drupal 7's development program used a combination of contracted professional guidance and community-sourced feedback for its user experience enhancements that provide easier administration, update management, accessibility, and content creation. The new version sports an improved new user interface, accessibility improvements, better image handling capabilities, support for rich content metadata, security features, scalability and database interoperability enhancements, a suite of 30,000 automated tests to ensure stability, and more. The popular content management platform was recently used by the Dutch government for a project that required 100% compliance with the World Wide Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0). Other notable websites that use the CMS are WhiteHouse.gov and a number of the top music artist’s sites of Warner Media Group. Drupal version 7 is already in production use by sites such as Examiner.com, which is among the top 100 in the United States, and witnessed a 19% traffic jump with over 22.4 million unique monthly visitors within a month of relaunching in Drupal 7.
