Drupal 7 is a major update to the popular content management system. It has a host of new improvements, such as:

  • Web-based theme and module updates
  • Security improvements, like better resistance to brute-force password guessing
  • Improved database layer, including transaction and SQLite support
  • Better performance on uncached pages and for logged-in users

Perhaps the biggest change, however, is Drupal’s revamped administrative interface, which features a simplified overlay with a handy shortcut bar to make common actions readily available (click to enlarge):
