In April 2023, I wondered if we'd see a 7.100 release of Drupal.
I just noticed that we did.
It was released on the 6th of March.
From the release notes:
Maintenance release of the Drupal 7 series. Includes bug fixes and small API/feature improvements only (no major, non-backwards-compatible new functionality). Unusually, this release does include a new core module.
This is also the first Drupal release to be affected by the Year 2000 problem, a.k.a. the Y2K problem, or the Millennium Bug:
Note that this is the first Drupal 7 release with 3 digits. If you receive a report that your version of Drupal is over a decade out of date, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem.
According to the usage figures on Drupal.org, there are at least 316,843 active Drupal 7 websites and, with only 243 days left until D7 is end-of-life, hopefully most of them will be upgrading to Drupal 10 (or 11) soon.
If you're stuck on Drupal 7, I can help! Reply to this email and let's start a conversation.
