UT Drupal Kit 2.19.3 Release

ITS has posted a patch-level release of the UT Drupal Kit in order to address issues in text formatting behavior that resulted from a change in the previous patch release (see UT Drupal Kit 2.19.2 Release).

The 2.19.3 release includes a new custom input filter that must be installed, enabled, and manually configured as part of the “Filtered HTML” and “Filtered HTML for Blocks” text formats on all existing sites in order to address this issue. The full description of the issue, recommended configuration change, and a root cause analysis are described in a special release notes article on the UT Drupal Kit wiki.

Please read this article carefully, and feel free to email drupal-kit-support@utlists.utexas.edu to open a support ticket if you have any questions before proceeding with the configuration change.

HOW TO UPDATE THE UT DRUPAL KIT

Complete instructions and download links for updating a UT Drupal Kit site are available on the documentation wiki. Pantheon site dashboards that use the UT Drupal Kit distribution should see the upstream updates available now; see the Pantheon documentation for more information on applying upstream updates.

Please review the changelog thoroughly, and always make backups of your code, files, and database before proceeding with an update!
