Acquia recommends that as part of this release you upgrade your Drupal 7 websites to use version 7.x-1.52 of the [Site Factory Connector module](https://www.drupal.org/project/acsf).

*   Change Cache tables are no longer copied when [duplicating a website](/site-factory/manage/website/duplicate).
*   Change Drupal 7 website management tasks now execute Drush commands with Drush 8.
*   Change Websites using path-based domains will return `404 Site Not Found` when the path fragment of the domain is duplicated.
*   Change Symbolic links configured for path-based domains, but not configured for the current website, now return `404 Site Not Found`.
*   Change The `$host` variable is no longer set, and should not be used in Site Factory custom [hook](/site-factory/extend/hooks) scripts.
*   Fix Drush commands occasionally failed to execute on websites with path-based domains.
*   Fix The `acsf-init` command failed with errors in Windows-based development environments.
*   Fix Drush executed code intended for non-Site Factory websites in `sites/default/settings.php`.
