What's Coming in Drupal 7?
Drupal 7 comes with a large number of changes, both superficial and deep into the core. Some highlights:
- CCK-like fields in core
- A reworked user interface to update Drupal to today's exacting visual standards, and to make the open source web CMS easier to use
- New themes plus the ability to theme strictly in CSS
- A rewritten, object-oriented database API
- Extensible file handling
- Native image handling in core
- An integrated module testing framework
- Semantic web support
- Modules such as ping, throttle, and blog removed from core
- Improved multi-cultural support

LearnByTheDrop.com has released a Drupal 7 alpha preview video. It begins with the installation process, then introduces changes such as the new admin bar, walks through the menus and looks a bit more at features such as:
- Dashboard customization
- Vertical tabs
- Block layout
- Themes
- User management
- Modules in general
- Image handling
- The new update manager
- The config menu
- Reports
- The built-in help
- Adding new content
While it's a fairly shallow look at the changes, if you don't have time to install and set up a Drupal 7 instance yourself, this video is worth a look. Expect to see more on the site over the weeks to come.
