Code freeze in preparation of Drupal 6.0

By dries on

Thanks to all the hard work we've done in the past months, the next version of Drupal will have a lot of great improvements!

  • improved logging functionality
  • support for reverse proxies
  • many language system improvements (support for right to left languages, advanced language detection, support for translating posts to different languages, etc)
  • improved handling of teasers
  • drastic theme system improvements
  • an improved installer
  • support for OpenID
  • and much more

There are also a ton of API improvements that should lead to more and better contributed modules. For a complete overview of the most notable improvements, take a look at the CHANGELOG.txt.

Drupal 6 will be an important factor for Drupal's continued success in 2007 and 2008. Needless to say, I'm really happy with what we accomplished together. Especially with the improved localization (l10n) support and the newly added internationalization (i18n) support, we hope to reach out to a much larger group of people.

In preparation of the Drupal 6.0 release development of Drupal core is frozen as of July 1st. During the initial stage of the code freeze, documentation updates, usability improvements, and performance improvements will still be accepted. New functionality or API changes / additions, on the other hand, will not be unless deemed critical. As of today, the focus is to strengthen the code base's performance, usability, and stability. As we progress, focus will shift towards stability and, near the end of the code freeze, only bug fixes will be allowed, until no release critical bugs are left. As always, everyone is invited to help.

A module that would assign an image to a content type

By doc2@drupalfr.org on

I could not find a module that would display an icon (default or 'user chosen', but not a logo) for a given node type. As a newbie with templates, as many Drupal users, I think this would be a good feature.

It would definately ease managing documents. Indeed, if the node title for a unique content is often similar (ex. mass imported photos and videos of the same event, but which require a node each), an icon displayed just before the node title (or even weighted) would quickly inform on the node type, at least.

Shibboleth SSO

By Andreas Kohlbecker on

We are currently looking for a way to integrate Shibboleth authentication and authorization into Drupal. Searching drupal.org did not turn out any valuable information on this topic. Is there any ongoing development into that direction or is any ready to use module available?
Otherwise we are going to develop such a module. Any recommendation or experience on the development of a Shibboleth authentication module would be highly appreciated.
