drupal 7.97

Maintenance release of the Drupal 7 series. Includes bug fixes and small API/feature improvements only (no major, non-backwards-compatible new functionality).

No security fixes are included in this release.

No changes have been made to the .htaccess, web.config, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary.

This is a "hotfix" release to address a PHP 5.x regression caused by SA-CORE-2023-005.

Changes since 7.96:

• #3355216 by poker10: Fix PHP 5.x regression caused by ::class constant
