Please tell me a single source of information I can access to get the information I need to keep my drupal code working with the core, without being forced to filter out many times that more irrelevant information. If such an in information source exists, I'll gladly use it.
There's a module conversion guide in the drupal handbook, and it's been updated semi-regularly. Once 4.7 hits RC and goes gold, it will be finalized. Part of the difficulty in providing this sort of filtered list is that it is very, very personalized and very, very labor intensive. Should there be an announce list for 'CVS core compatability issues' and one for 'Design changes under consideration' and a separate one for 'discussion stemming from design changes under consideration?' I'm not trying to shoot you down, just attempting to point out that what constitutes 'important information' is terribly hard to weigh, and is very subjective once you pass a certain technical threshold. If you have a full time job and kids and negative free time, and don't want to think about Drupal when it's working... Honestly, stop running the CVS HEAD version. Important security fixes are all you really need to keep up on at that point. --Jeff
