Maintenance release of the Drupal 7 series. Includes bug fixes and small API/feature improvements only (no major, non-backwards-compatible new functionality).
No security fixes are included in this release.
No changes have been made to the .htaccess, web.config, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary.
This is a "hotfix" release to address a problem caused by the hotfix in Drupal 7.84
This fix addresses a very specific situation that will not apply to most sites; it is not necessary for sites to update from 7.84 if this situation does not apply.
The 7.84 hotfix caused issues with session cookies when multiple sites share the same www. subdomain but have different base_url's.
For example:
...where those are two sites with separate user sessions and session cookies.
This would typically mean that multiple copies of Drupal are installed in different subdirectories, but it may also apply in other scenarios where the www. subdomain is shared but sessions are not and the sites have different base_url's.
Changes since 7.84:
