It’s hard to believe we’re only ten days away from Drupalcon Paris and Drupal 7 code freeze. As of September 1st, the development focus will shift from new features and APIs to bug fixes and polish that will ultimately result in a stable release. While it may seem like Drupal 6 was just released, this has actually been the longest development cycle in the project’s history. This time has allowed core developers to make many monumental changes.
