There is a new release of 1.1.0-ISR Acquia Drupal. This release incorporates not only security updates and bug fixes, but adds several new features.

* Drupal updated to 6.8.
* Acquia Drupal can be downloaded in ZIP format.
* Google Analytics updated to 6.x-1.3
* Imagefield updated to 6.x-3.x-dev
* Image API updated to 6.x-1.x-dev
* Voting API updated to 6.x-1.0-RC2
* Acquia Marina theme updated to 6.x-1.3
* Added Link 6.x-2.5. http://drupal.org/project/link

Right after the 6.7 and 5.13 comes new minor release, removing an incompatibility with versions of PHP before 5.2 released in the earlier versions. Can't say that i don't like "release early, release often" open source principle, but this is really early and really often.

Drupal 6.7 and Drupal 5.13, maintenance releases fixing problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as critical security vulnerabilities, are now available for download. Read more to find out about security vulnerabilities found there.

Imagine situation when you are trying to make tinymce speak your language. It seems to be easy (Drupal 6, Tinymce 3.2.1):
1. Get language pack from http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/download_i18n.php.
2. Unpack it to modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce.
3. Change settings in admin/settings/tinymce to your language.

For those of you who can read and speak russian. First Belarus barcamp format conference called "ByCamp 2008" will start at 20-21 of December. There is no finished presentations list (barcamp style, you know) but we have already one Drupal related presentation about Drupal site optimization. Keep going, ByCamp!

I discovered today a funny poster on drupal.org.ukfrom user greenman. Looks like he was visited by the Elder One :)

As you may know, system function node_load statically caches nodes while called. For example if you look at at node with nid = 1000, system call node_load(array('nid' => 1000)). There is a database query and results are cached in node_load. So, when you call node_load twice for one node, all data comes from cache created on the first node_load run.

Very pleasant and professional theme (just html for now) created by Mark Boulton. By writing of this post there are 9 iterations of redesigning current drupal.org theme. Every iteration has some changes, you can see what's going on here.

It is always very interesting to see such a good and solid Drupal site!
