*We try to notify this list when API changes are made in Drupal 7, so contrib and custom developers have a chance to fix their code before they have the pain of figuring out why it's broken.
(issue <http://drupal.org/node/364470#comment-3782022>) **Theming the "Submitted by" text for nodes and comments*:Previously in D7, the "Submitted by…" text for node and comment tpls was created with a t() function that resided directly in the node.tpl.php and comment.tpl.php. With this API change, the node's $name and $date variables are joined together inside template_preprocess_node() and printed as a $submitted variable in the node.tpl.php. The comment's $author and $created variables are now joined together inside template_preprocess_comment() and printed as a $submitted variable in the comment.tpl.php.* (issue <http://drupal.org/node/599706#comment-3781978>) **theme_menu_local_tasks() can now be changed with preprocess functions, allowing alteration of primary and secondary tabs. *Previously, theme_menu_local_tasks() took no $variables, so preprocess functions on it were impossible. Modules can now alter the primary and secondary tabs using preprocess or process functions. Themes that overrode the old definition of theme_menu_local_tasks() will need to update their theme declaration to mirror the changes to the default implementation in includes/menu.inc.* (issue <http://drupal.org/node/651240#comment-3769352>) **Modules can now react to a change in an entity. *The entity controllers resetCache() signature has been changed. * *Thanks, -Randy -- Randy Fay Drupal Module and Site Development [email protected] +1 970.462.7450
