Last night we upgraded all 200+ sites on the hosted service from Drupal 5.6 to 5.7. The notes for the upgrade are the same as for when we released the new tag for VPS customers.

The last four releases of the Bryght Basic install profile for the open source Drupal content management system have been security releases. Not this time, for today's release—the new tag is 2008-01-29 (there's no 's' this time)—only contains bug fixes. Drupal 5.7 adds no features, but fixes a problem with the HTML filter that would not allow administrators to add or remove tags. There are 3 other issues fixed, which you can read about at the Drupal.org release notes page. We've updated our documentation on how to update to the latest tagged release. Even though there are no database updates for this release since Drupal 5.6, for VPS customers now's a good time to backup your database(s) just in case.

We will post a new story once Drupal 5.7 is made available to hosted service customers.

As usual, we included the Watchdog backport patch, and submitted a Drupal 5.7 compatible patch for those who want to do it on their own.

The error for Google Analytics in the status log still persists; the fix is still to configure the module in Administer » Settings » Google Analytics or by disabling the module.
