IMPORANT - IMPORTANT - :)
=========================

Wulp.  I did a major upgrade by (a) breaking a lot of stuff and (b) by
re-doing those things in a much better way.  I redesigned the stories
and submissions SQL tables, the way they work and the way they co-
operate together.

In addition, I changed the way parameters are passed to
$theme->abstract() and $theme->article().  Instead of passing a
sh!tload of parameters that only cluttered the code and required too
much pre-processing on the engine-side, we now pass a singly object
$story.  $story has more variables then the paramaters we used to pass,
so it allows for better theming (if you feel like it).

I'm not finished yet but I decided to upload my changes so you can
start patching and updating your themes: PLEASE update your themes
ASAP!  I don't plan making heavy changes like this again, so don't
get intimiated. ;)  You mainly have to update article() and abstract()
as well as a minor update of footer():

article(), abstract():
----------------------
 - use the $story object - see my theme!
 - the morelink can now be themed.  Currently you can use the function
   morelink_bytes() in function.inc to `render' the old morelink.  The
   idea is to make a morelink_words() or morelink_lines() sooner or
   later because "188 bytes in body" is not half as clear as "52 words
   in body".  Clearly, "52 words" is much more informative. ;-)

footer():
---------
 - in the article-part, you need to update the displayRelatedLinks():
   instead of passing it $sid, you need to pass it $story (after you
   globaled $story).

Everything should display correct on the following pages:
 - main page
 - article page (follow a `read more | xxx bytes in bdoy | x comments' link)
 - submission queue
Check if they work with your theme: they should as they work fine for
me (theme `Dries') ...  If you got stuck, just look at my theme or ask
for a hand on the list!


Hopefully you can update your themes asap.  Thanks in advance.
