now always passed the correct file URI.

addition: https://www.drupal.org/node/2857751).
– Allowed callers of drupal_http_request() to optionally specify an explicit
Host header.
– Allowed the + character to appear in usernames.
– PHP 7.2: Fixed Archive_Tar incompatibility.
– PHP 7.2: Removed deprecated function each().
– PHP 7.2: Avoid count() calls on uncountable variables.
– PHP 7.2: Removed deprecated create_function() call.
– PHP 7.2: Make sure variables are arrays in theme_links().
– Fixed theme-settings.php not being loaded on cached forms
At core committer discretion important bug fixes might be added prior to release and this post will be updated to inform of further changes.
