Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Notes
General packaging improvements thanks to profiler builder 1.0 being included (and rerun to generate this profile). There are some better defaults out of the box, less variables during installation, a more accurate ordering of projects to speed install (minor). This also skips some redundant steps in setup now thanks to the exclusive flag as well as comes with some performance enhancements turned on by default via entitycache and advanced css/js aggregation.
Monthly release to latest versions of projects, most notably Views and Entity API. This also includes Field Validation (enabled by default) and UUID (included but disabled) modules.
This is being pushed ahead of schedule because of an issue with the Insert module conflicting with 7.20. This is just a minor bug fix for contrib and core as a package.
This provides updates to the following contributed modules. Most are general release updates but a few were for security purposes (specifically Boxes) and updating to the latest modules is highly recommended.
Latest versions of stable modules (Feeds / Feeds Tamper)
Also added Boost and CDN modules to the make file for performance optimization best practices. Fit vids has also been added which is responsive design video treatment. None of these are enabled by default but are highly recommended for production environments after setup.
This is the first release marking a change in scope for Nittany. Now Nittany is intended to be a collection of best practice modules to start started building a site more rapidly. It also comes with a responsive base theme (currently Chamfer), a well configured, accessible text editor, and helps for menu and workflow management. The .make file for this setup is also commented per project to give a clue as to why it was included / what that project does. This is a big step forward for the dedicated members of the Drupal @ PSU Community.
Updated ThemeKey module to current version. Many of these modules should likely not have their exact version specified in the make file - so that the distribution is always on the up to date version.
