There are no security fixes in this release of Drupal core; however, sites which were unable to upgrade to Drupal 7.20 (or upgraded but made modifications to disable the security fixes included within it) should upgrade to Drupal 7.21 to obtain additional security protection. See the Drupal 7.21 release notes for further information.

Predictions for 2013

Drupal News - Sat, 2013-01-05 16:31

Ever since node 4877 in 2003 we have a “prediction” post up on Drupal.org, where Drupal coders and users can share their vision on what will happen the year ahead with their beloved tool. Ever? Well, we skipped 2012, so we can not look back to the predictions you made last year on this site.

But that should not stop you from making some predictions for 2013. And you are welcome to do so in the comments below. Will parts of Drupal end up in another CMS or framework? Will "WSCCI first” be the slogan or will the consolidation in the CMS landscape and the trend to leave our small island make new bridges towards other PHP projects or even make a new Pangaea, beyond PHP and the web? Will Drupal be the answer in Jeopardy on the question “what is the best CMS?”. Time will tell.

Or you.. In the comments below
