Een kleine twee weken geleden alweer is de tweede zogenaamde maintenace release van Drupal 6.0 uitgebracht. Drupal is een dynamisch in php geschreven systeem waarmee gebruikers content kunnen beheren, organiseren en uitgeven. Het bevat veel features die terug zijn te vinden in bijvoorbeeld content management systemen, blogs, collaboratiesites en forums. Een uitgebreide beschrijving van alle mogelijkheden is op deze pagina te vinden. In deze release zijn geen nieuwe mogelijkheden toegevoegd, deze worden bewaard voor versie 7.0, wel zijn er enkele bugfixes doorgevoerd en is een beveiligingslek gedicht. Meer informatie hierover is in de release notes te vinden:

- fix wording on when node access rebuild button is displayed in node_configure()
- l() attributes were not properly specified in theme.inc's theme_username()
- PHP.net documents we should use CRLF in mail headers, so do that
- fix notice level error in xmlrpc.inc
- actually use 'administer content types' permission for node type editing instead of 'administer nodes'
- theme_link() did not mark frontpage links active properly
- missing t() in system_clear_cache_submit()
- (performance) block regions should only be populated when called for, not in all cases (fixes performance expectation on 403/404 pages)
- (performance) temporary cache table entries were not flushed, causing cache_menu and cache_form to grow big
- (performance) use two level cache in menus, instead of storing very large amounts of data multiple times
- missing status check on nodes in search indexing counter
- we should keep using LF in mail headers, without CR, CRLF causes problems
- two missing t() calls in update.module
