<i>We try to notify this list when <span>API</span> changes
are made in Drupal 7, so
contrib and custom developers have a chance to fix their code before
they have the pain of figuring out why it's broken.<br><br>(<a href="http://drupal.org/node/364470#comment-3782022">issue</a>) </i><b>Theming the "Submitted by" text for nodes and comments</b>:Previously in D7, the "Submitted by…" text for node and comment tpls
was created with a t() function that resided directly in the
node.tpl.php and comment.tpl.php. With this API change, the node's $name
and $date variables are joined together inside
template_preprocess_node() and printed as a $submitted variable in the
node.tpl.php. The comment's $author and $created variables are now
joined together inside template_preprocess_comment() and printed as a
$submitted variable in the comment.tpl.php.<i><br><br>(<a href="http://drupal.org/node/599706#comment-3781978">issue</a>) </i><b>theme_menu_local_tasks() can now be changed with preprocess functions, allowing alteration of primary and secondary tabs. </b>Previously, theme_menu_local_tasks() took no $variables, so
preprocess functions on it were impossible. Modules can now alter the
primary and secondary tabs using preprocess or process functions. Themes that overrode the old definition of theme_menu_local_tasks()
will need to update their theme declaration to mirror the changes to the
default implementation in includes/menu.inc.<i><br><br>(<a href="http://drupal.org/node/651240#comment-3769352">issue</a>) </i><b>Modules can now react to a change in an entity. </b>The entity controllers resetCache() signature has been changed.<br>
