UT Drupal Kit 2.16 Release

ITS is happy to announce the immediate availability of UT Drupal Kit 2.16, the latest maintenance release for our University distribution of the Drupal web content management system.

The 2.16 release includes multiple updates to Drupal core, one contrib module update, and a minor accessibility improvement in the Social Sharing custom module.

DRUPAL CORE UPDATES

The 2.16 release incorporates three versions of Drupal core that have been released since the last UTDK release in December 2018.

Version 7.62 was a security-only release, followed on the same day by version 7.63 to fix a regression introduced in that release. Version 7.64 is a maintenance release that did not introduce any major or compatibility-breaking changes.
