Drupal 7 Release!

Drupal 7 is to be released on January the 5th 2011. A version of this site has been set up using the latest version of Drupal (7). The differences in look are mainly down to the use of the standard drupal 7 theme (Bartik). Also, additional modules (comments etc) have been turned on for testing purposes. Drupal 7 offers many improvements over version 6, mainly in the incorporation of some key modules within the core program and also many improvements to the user interface and performance. Complicated sites that make use of a lot of third party modules will probably be better staying with D6 at least until D7 is fully matured and the required modules have been updated to work with D7.
