- Committed a slightly modified version of Slavica's table prefix patch.

- Fixed some PHP "notices".

- Eliminated system_init(), the session stuff, and made it possible to
  rebuild the menu.

- Clean URL patch.

- Small improvement.  Patch by Moshe.

- Patch by Jeremy to fix a module loading bug:

    - module.inc:
       + added call to _init for all modules

    - statistics.module:
       + added statistics_init()
       + moved all global actions into statistics_init()

Patch by Natrak:

- Modules and themes now use the same functions to find and administer
  files.
- Modules can now be placed in sub-directories.
- Theme descriptions can no longer be edited. This will be handled by
  Dries' theme_conf patch.
- Update required to keep old modules enabled.

- Committed Marco's block rewrite:

   + Blocks are not longer called if not rendered: major performance
     improvement.
   + Fixed some bugs (preview option was broken, path option was broken).
   + Removed "ascii"-type blocks.
   + Added permission to for "PHP blocks"
   + ...

  NOTES:

   + You'll want to run "update.php":

       ALTER TABLE blocks DROP remove;
       ALTER TABLE blocks DROP name;

   + You'll want to update your custom modules as well as the modules in
     the contrib repository.  Block function should now read:

       function *_block($op = "list", $delta = 0) {
         if ($op == "list") {
           return array of block infos
         }
         else {
           return subject and content of $delta block
         }
       }

- updated database dump.
- removed tables modules, layout and referrer (don't forget to backup!).

  array. Thanks Moshe. (Didn't I commit this already?)

- Reverted module.inc to the old module_invoke() function.

- "module_invoke()" and "module_invoke_all()" can now be called with any
   number of arguments.  Patch by Gerhard.

- fixed comment flat list view missing 1 comment.
- changed update.php around a bit.
    * security check isn't in effect if the db hasn't been updated.
    * instructions re-organized.
    * fixed some minor updates.
- updated database.mysql done by UnConeD.
- changelog update.

- Included modules will now cause parse errors instead of them being supressed.
  Was making debugging really hard.

Committing Changes by Moshe Weitzman:
- admin_user_account(), user_edit(), and user_view() no longer have any
  hard code for authentication modules. instead authentication modules
  implement the _user hook.
- fixed a couple 'help' typos.
- linked the 'REGISTER' text in the login block to the register page.
  this page now advertises DA better if site employs DA.
- admins may now edit everything about a user account (was a feature
  request).
- user #1 may now login immediately, in addition to receiving his
  password via email.

Other changes:
- modules and themes are now enabled/disabled in the administrative /
  settings / modules | themes pages. Requires SQL update and things must
  be enabled before your site returns to normal. TODO: enable all
  functionality. (For now just do UPDATE system SET status = 1;)
- removed $themes from conf.php.
- added a $theme->system() function where theme can specify settings.
  All themes in the Drupal CVS have been updated to use this.
- added _system hook to modules. TODO: update modules to use this.
- changed strange use of sprintf to the usual strtr. The disadvantage of
  sprintf is that it requires translations to keep the string order,
  which may not be possible in all languages.
- an invalid/nonexisting theme in a user profile will now fallback to the
  BaseTheme instead of crashing.

- Applied Natrak's module improvements.

 - attempted to fixed crashes with the custom session handler.

External SMTP library
 - added functionality to have Drupal not use the default PHP mail()
   function. For more info see: http://www.drupal.org/node.php?id=44
   Note: for this to work all modules that send mails should use the
   Drupal function to send mail:
     user_mail($mail, $subject, $message, $header);

Calendar
 - added an archive page which users can use to find archives instead of
   the good old block.

Miscellaneous
 - fixed a "random" offset bug on module.inc that occurred on Windows.

All of this needs more testing, and further suggestions are welcome.

- node.module:

   + Changed node_form() to use good ol' tables instead of div/CSS-tags.

   + Revised the "revision API": I think we have both an easy and powerful
     API now that should make everyone happy.

   + Improved the usability of the rollback functionality a bit.

   + Removed the "view node" link from the "node overview" page in the
     admin section and added a "delete node" link instead.

   + Added a few missing translations; there might be missing more
     translations though.

- book.module:

   + Made the book module use the "revision API" instead of having it poke
     and use the innards and underlying details of the revision system.

- queue.module:

   + Made the queue module use the improved revision number.

- module.inc:
   + Applied Moshe's patch: added more arguments to module_invoke()

- mail-to-sql.pl:
   + Added support for more header fields and for folded fields

Notes:

- no database updates required

- A large batch of updates, amongst them a rewritten node system.  More
  information available on the mailing list.

  easier. Also changed the <? tag to <?php in some cases.

- Removed a node's link ID (lid) as discussed on the mailing list.  See
  'updates/3.00-to.x.xx.mysql' for the required MySQL updates.

- Renamed some "author" fields to "uid" fields for sake of consistency.

- Fixed the coding style of some PHP files.

- Fixed the moderation queue (fairly untested though).

- Re-introduced the temporary SQL table in _node_get().

- Added a missing 'auto_increment' to 'updates/3.00-to-x.xx.mysql'.

- PEAR-ification of Drupal by claw: you can now host Drupal on a wide
  range of databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and others.

  For additional information and an 'how to upgrade', check the mails
  sent to the mailing list.

- Fixed bug reported by Remco.

- Various updates, mostly related to our RDF/RSS backend.

- theme system:
    + added $theme->images()

- blog.module:
    + improved user-friendliness and rewrote most of the output routines
    + made quoted text /italic/ by default
    + integrated discussion system like it should
    + ...

- marvin.theme:
    + small visual improvements

- common.inc:
   + Made '$na' translatable on popular demand.

- node.module:
   + replaced a confusing configuration description, as suggested by
     Remco.

- statistics.module:
   + Added a 'most recent referers'-table sorted by timestamp.

- drupal.module:
   + Small update of the links.

Extremely large commit:

- Fixed tiny quote problem in account.php.

- Fixed tiny bug in comment.inc.

- Fixed tiny bug in comment.module.

- Fixed tiny bug in meta.module.

- Simplified user_access() API.

- Rewrote link system: still needs fine-tuning and testing so don't
  upgrade if you are running a production site. ;)

  Updated all modules and themes to reflect this change.  All other
  themes and modules need updating too!

- Removed a few lines of dead code.

- Redid settings.module and even renamed it to conf.module.
    * Settings are now grouped in basic categories like "system
      settings", "module settings" and "filters".
  * Added new settings to make Drupal easier to configure and
  to make some aspects like the watchdog scale better.

- Renamed includes/settings.php to includes/conf.php.

- Added filter support to conf.module and introduced filter hooks so
  modules can implement and export new filters.  Example filters are
  an HTML filter (implemented), a profanity filter, an url converter,
  ASCII smileys to images filter and so on ...

- Reworked the check_* functions: user contributed content/input is
  only verified and filtered once in its lifespan.

NOTES

- Altough this is a large commit, no database changes are required.

CHANGES:

- Rewrote the cron system.  Removed cron.module and moved all cron
  related options to settings.module.  Cron was a confusing thing:
  it has been made simpler both in terms of code and configuration.

   + You had to rehash your modules to make the cron show up in
     the list.  This is no longer required.

   + You couldn't tell what cron "watchdog" or cron "story" were
     up to.  Instead, we now display a clear description message
     for every cron involved.

   + The user interface of setting.module - and the admin section
     in general, looks a bit ackward but I couldn't care less and
     don't want to see this improve at the time being.

- Improved setting.module:
   + Now uses variable_set().
   + Added some help and documentaition on how to setup cron.

- Improved ./export.

- Updated CHANGELOG.


TODO:

- I'm now going to look into UnConeD's question with regard to
  check_output() and $theme->node(), as well as the filter and
  macro stuff.  I'll probably be fine-tuning setting.module a
  bit more on my way.

On Windows machines (not sure about *nix boxes) it's not always pre-sorted by the filesystem. It has no effect code-wise, but it will cause all module-lists in Drupal to be sorted alphabetically (e.g. the links in admin.php).

- Uhm.  Rewrote the module system: less code clutter, less run-time
  overhead, and a lot better (simpler) module API.  I had to edit a
  LOT of files to get this refactored but I'm sure it was worth the
  effort.

  For module writers / maintainers:

  None of the hooks changed, so 95% of the old modules should still
  work.  You can remove some code instead as "$module = array(...)"
  just became obsolete.  Also - and let's thank God for this - the
  global variable "$repository" has been eliminated to avoid modules
  relying on, and poking in drupal's internal data structures.  Take
  a look at include/module.inc to investigate the details/changes.

- Improved design of the content modules "story", "book" and "node"
  (to aid smooth integration of permisions + moderate.module).  I'm
  still working on the permissions but I got side tracked for which
  I "Oops!".

- Fixed an error in module_rehash_blocks() that didn't handle '-symbols.
- Removed some module depencies. Drupal will now run (sorta) even if there
  are no modules installed.
- Changed theme_link() to check if certain modules are installed before
  offering a link to them.

Todo
- Check all SQL queries to make sure they are addslashes'ed correctly.
- Check the effects of changing the PHP magic_quotes setting.
- Make the theme_link() function to be customizable either via the admin
  page and/or in the module itself.

- Addition: added a new function "module_hook($module, $hook)" to check
  wether a module implements a certain hook or not.
