--- layout: post title: state of the drupal created: 1092336049 permalink: blog/walkah/state-of-the-drupal tags: - drupal --- so, while i was away a *lot* happened with everyone's favourite <a href="http://www.drupal.org/">content management system</a>. it looks like version 4.5 is going to really be awesome! some of the really cool stuff that happened while i was away: <ul> <li>node access : allows modules to restrict access to individual nodes</li> <li>new locale.module : allows import/export of gettext .po files to greatly simplify translation (hear that <a href="http://www.terminus1525.ca/">terminus</a> folks?)</li> <li>plus, some work towards allowing multiple sites to run off a single drupal code base</li> </ul> read more about what's coming in 4.5 <a href="http://drupal.org/node/view/9652">here</a>. plus, drupal.org just got it's <a href="http://drupal.org/node/view/10000">10,000th node</a>!! i've got some things i'd like to sneak into 4.5 as well, so i'll get back to working on those now :)
