- added initial locale support as discussed on the mailing list

- fixed one bug that only showed when up using 4.00 and not with 4.0.4
- added extra checking

I know, I know, it is getting nasty lately but I have another large commit after nothing but code.

This time I redid the "category"-stuff.  Categories - from now on called sections - are now maintained from the admin pages, can have their own post, dump and timout thresholds as discussed earlier (some weeks ago).  By tomorrow evening users will be able to enable or disable section as well - i.e. to customize the content of drop.org.

- fixed some bugs in the new comment/discussion code and added a few
  enhancements

- 2 more bugfixes

- 3 small bugfixes

- updated/improved discussion engine: it needs additional fine-tuning
  though but I think this is stable enough for public consumption and
  real-life testing.
   ==> a first big step towards a flexible comment engine.

IMPORTANT:
  - Required theme updatins:

    UnConeD: check your $theme->controls() as I added a very, very
             dummy implementation

  - Required database updates:

    alter table users modify mode tinyint(1) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
    alter table comments change sid lid int(6) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;
    alter table comments add link varchar(16) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
    update comments set link = 'story';

- by default, keep the watchdog for one week rather then two weeks
  (http://drop.org/admin.php?op=watchdog is gets way to lengthy)

- Harry Zink reported that 'administrate' is not entirely correct English
  so I renamed "administrate xxx" to "administer xxx".

- rewrote the block placement stuff and updated the themes.
  IMPORTANT: you have to drop 2 tables "blocks" and "layout"
             and you have to recreate them again with those
             in database/database.mysql
- integrated the documentation written by UnConeD

- created 2 new functions; check_textfield() and check_textarea() and
  integrated them were appropriate.  It works better and the code is
  more readable then it used to be:
    (see http://drop.org/discussion.php?id=44&pid=0#0)

- story authors can no longer moderate their own stories
    (requested by Natrak)

- fix inie-winnie small detail in theme marvin

- removed redundant file: a left-over from previous optimizations

- fixed 2 small bugs in account.php
- drastically improved administration section

A batch of patches:

  - configuration:
    + renamed $db_name to $db_user
    + renamed $db_base to $db_name
  - fixed small diary glitch
  - fixed initial-comment-score problem
  - fixed comment rating bug: improved the API and updated the
    themes
  - removed some tabs from Steven ;)
  - fixed backend warnings and improved robustness
    I'm not happy yet with the headline grabber - it generates
    too many SQL errors.
  - some small cosmetic changes in comment.module
  - fixed minor glitch in format_interval()

- fixed small flaw that showed up with PHP 4.0.0-rcxx but not with PHP 4.0.4

- the diary module is truly modular now
- the faq has been spell checked

A batch of preparations for release candidate 2:

 - expanded documentation
   (written by Jeroen)
 - fixed bug in includes/module.inc
 - fixed bug in modules/backend.class
 - renamed some of the SQL tables (!)
 - started making the diary.module truly modular (not finished yet)
 - renamed "admin_blocks" to "boxes"
 - added new functionality to "boxes": apart from PHP boxes, you
   can now create ASCII boxes as well as HTML boxes for those who
   are not confident with PHP.
   (requested by stalor)
 - added drupal-site module to keep track of known drupal sites
 - added small Perl script to generate encrypted CVS passwords

- fixed bug in hostname.conf

- prepared hostname.conf for public release

- fixed PHP4.0.4 problem in discussion.php.
- some improvements to account.php and theme.inc.
- updated the documentation (again, again and again)
- added INSTALL file
- removed redundant files

- Fixed bug in account.php.
- Updated the documentation (again): I spent most of the day writing
  documentation which might well be considered plain boring.

- here a bunch of changes to make "drupal" (for now) work with PHP 4.0.4
- tidied up some of the code and mainly working on the documentation

- small improvement

Surprise, surprise.  After nothing but code, a large batch of changes:
 - removed droplets
 - added (optional) admin_blocks module
 - added (optional) affiliate module
 - added (optional) about module (only placeholder, under construction)
 - fixed some tiny bugs (e.g. quote bug in search.php)
 - partionally rewrote some modules to be big, bad and better
 - partionally rewrote some modules to be more uniform
 - added GNU GPL license to CVS

Also:
 - installed PHP 4.0.4 on my localhost and now working
   towards PHP 4.0.4 compatibility.
 - I think I'll baptize the engine "drupal".  If you have a
   better idea, try convincing me ASAP.

Todo:
 - more testing (also with PHP 4.0.4)
 - make "project"-module: download, info, blah blah
 - complete documentation

- some improvements and code polishing
- added a few extra blocks to choose from

- small glitch

Yet another large batch of updates:

 - I rearranged some of the code and clean-up some of the mess.

 - Added "blocks" which can be user defined/controlled: check
   to see.  The positioning of blocks is rather basic for the
   moment, so I'm all open for input on that.

- intermediate commit: see previous commit

- intermediate commit: some bugfixes, changes and some drastic
  changes to block and module support

- improved web interface of cron module.

- improved web interface of account module.

- added simple permission system with both administrators
  and regular users. It can be made more fine-grained but
  it will do for now.

- various small enhancements to the other modules, but
  nothing big.

- a few more updates

- small fixes/updates

Again, a large batch of updates - I'm twisting things around here:

 1. improved .htaccess to be more "secure": to keep prying
    eyes out

 2. rewrote the administration section from scratch using a
    modular approach

 3. improved the information gathered by error.php - we can
    now (hopefully) track what bots are crawling us.

 4. fixed a bug in submit.php, fixed a bug in theme zaphod,
    fixed a bug in theme marvin.

 5. rewrote cron from scratch - it now interfaces with
    modules as it should have been from the beginning.
    Very cool if you ask me - it can use UNIX/Linux
    crontabs.

 6. updated widget.inc to be module aware - needs more
    work though - maybe this afternoon?

 7. updated most modules: small bugfixes, improvements, and
    even the documentation

 8. removed diary.php and made it a module - you can now
    run a drop.org site without a diary system if someone
    would prefer so

 9. updated all themes to use the new modules where
    appropriate

 10. added a robots.txt because the error message in the
     watchdog become annoying.

 11. added the new configuration system (mutliple vhosts
     on the same source tree) - use hostname.conf instead
     of config.inc

 12. removed calendar.inc and made it a module

 13. added format_interval() to functions.inc (UnConeD)

 14. whatever I forgot ...

- large batch of updates

- large batch of updated files featuring various changes: big, small and
  new stuff!
