What's New in Drupal 7.24
This is a security release only fixing two issues:
- This release contains a small change to the form API. It will have no effect on standard form API usage, but could affect code which does highly custom form processing; in particular, any code which calls functions like drupal_process_form() or drupal_validate_form() to process a form directly should be aware that when the form is validated, validation will now stop immediately in the case where the form's cross-site request forgery (CSRF) token fails validation. Previously all subsequent validation handlers would still be executed in this case.
- There is a new drupal_random_key() API function. Its usage is recommended for any code that needs to obtain a permanent, randomly-generated string which is safe to insert in HTML pages and URLs.
