Almost Daily Drupal, versions 6 and 7

These are just a few major highlights of things we gained in Drupal 6, and what we will gain in Drupal 7.

Improvements in Drupal 6:

• Native draggable sortable fields, such as upload field and cck fields, including images.
• Views 2, not available for Drupal 5, brings multiple displays per view, straightforward theming, and powerful relationships.
• Menu groupings (not the one single giant long menu page). Menu item sorting by drag and drop.
• A much improved theming system

Improvements in Drupal 7

• Dashboard (a customizable control panel providing high-level access to content and configuration)
• Fields in core, on everything (nodes, users, taxonomy)
• Image handling in core
• Admin theme called "Seven" in core
• Toolbar and customizable shortcut bar
• Overlays, lightbox-style modals for editing and configuring
• Edit links on everything: menus, blocks, content.
• #d7cx: a coordinated movement to have many contributed modules ready for use when Drupal 7 is released.
