Panopoly 1.14 released for SA-CORE-2014-006 (and Radix Layouts!)

Hi Everyone!

You may have heard about a moderately critical security vulnerability for Drupal core, that was fixed in Drupal 7.34 (released yesterday). You can learn more in the security advisory:

Drupal Core - Moderately Critical - Multiple Vulnerabilities - SA-CORE-2014-006

Beyond the Drupal core update, this also includes a number of minor bug fixes, and one big change: switching to Radix Layouts, rather than providing custom layouts in Panopoly Theme!

Unlike most Panopoly releases, this one may require some additional action on your part after the upgrade - so see the release notes for special instructions!

Why switch to Radix Layouts?

This is something we've been trying to do for around two years! It took lots of effort by many people, including a final push at the Panopoly sprint at BADCamp, to get this finally merged.

There are several advantages to this switch:

• Panopoly Theme provides more than just cool Panels layouts, and the extra stuff it provides is mostly Panopoly-specific. Radix Layouts provides just Panels layouts, with equivalent versions of all the Panopoly layouts, so we'd prefer to support the more reusable alternative that people can use on non-Panopoly sites too!
• Radix Layouts uses the Bootstrap 3 grid system (although, it can work in non-Bootstrap 3 themes just fine). Panopoly Theme used custom CSS - no grid system at all! Having this grid system available in Panopoly means you can use it to create your custom layouts too, which is much easier to use than custom CSS.
• Radix Layouts are compatible with the Radix theme (our old layouts weren't), which is one of the most commonly used base themes with Panopoly. This is also a first step to including the Radix theme in Panopoly (also a long time in the making).
• This removes TONS of code from Panopoly-specific modules, which means less code for us to maintain :-)

Remember: you have to update the WHOLE profile - not just the individual panopoly_* modules! Otherwise, you'll be missing important module updates/patches, and it isn't guarenteed to work.

For full instructions on how to upgrade, please see the new Upgrading Panopoly guide! (We invite you to help us improve it as well.)
