Jan 20, 2021 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. If you are using Drupal 7, upgrade to Drupal 7.70. Versions of Drupal 8 prior to 8.7 are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. Sites on 8.6 or earlier should update to 8.7.14. The pre-release Drupal versions (8.9 and 9.0) have been updated jQuery to version 3.5.1 as of 8.9.0-beta3 and 9.0.0-beta3.

Fixes and Tweaks
Drupal 7.70 Tutorial
- Text with an @ symbol in it is now only linked like an email address in Drupal 8 sites if it ends in a TLD, like .edu or .com.
- We've added a module that automatically translates quotes in Drupal 8 content into 'smart quotes' as well as addressing some other typograhy issues, like widows.
- When doing incremental enrollment updates (every 5 minutes) the Course Hub had been failing to enroll students/instructors that it had never seen before (and didn't already have accounts set up for), only picking them up the next morning during the full sync. The Hub now tries to import new accounts during incremental enrollment syncs, ensuring that all enrollments get updated within about 5 minutes of entry into Banner.
