Software update: Drupal 6.25

The developers behind Drupal have released an update for versions 6.2. Drupal is a user-friendly and powerful content management platform written in PHP, with which, for example, websites can be created. Since version 7.0, there is a redesigned interface that should be simpler and more intuitive and additional fields can be added to content, users, terms and more, such as URLs, images and lists of options. An automatic test has also been added to the framework to detect bugs in the code. Finally, the database layer has been completely rewritten, which solves many of the database layer limitations in Drupal 6. Updates are offered separately. Versions 6.25 is a so-called maintenance release that should fix some problems.
