- Made the code generated by include/common.inc XHTML 1.0 compliant: all
  forms should now be XHTML compliant. Just trying to get used to XHTML:
  :).

- Fixed bug in moderation queue.

- Added the poll-related SQL tables.

- Removed a few lines of dead code.

- Fixed find-n-replace type in export.module.
  (Reported by Kristjan.)

- Removed reference to backend.class.

- Renamed syndication.module to import.module.

- Removed headline.module: it became obsolete.

- Removed backend.class: it became obsolete.

- Added export.module.

  For now, you can use:
    1. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rss
    2. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rdf

- Renamed export to export.php.

  For now, you can use:
    1. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rss
    2. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rdf

  Renaming this file has main 3 advantages:
    1. We no longer rely on .htaccess for being able to export.
    2. It is more conform with the general naming conventions.
    3. It removes a pseudo-hack with formatting the URI.

- Made import.module export blocks with feeds.

Fixed a bug in the output: there was always a ruler under the story-abstract, even if it was an abstract-only story.

- Various small improvements: no bug fixes though but I moved a few things
  around.

  headline code is still in place 'till the new code has proven
  to be stable. See "syndication.module" for the new code.

  Changes:

   + Improved the parser and tested it against RSS 0.9, RSS 0.91,
     RSS 0.92, RSS 1.0, RDF and XML feeds.

   + Improved the administration interface.  It might be a bit fuzzy
     at first.  Maybe some native English like Julian, Michael (or any
     one else with knowledge in the field) can help out by suggesting
     better naming, terminology or descriptions - as well as by
     writing the help section for this module?  I'd have no idea how
     much this would be appreciated.

   + We can *easily* recognize new tags or extensions: we parse out
     "link", "title", "description" and "author" right now, but we
     will have to revise which tags to support and which not.  New
     tags can be added in less than 10 minutes (if you are familiar
     with the code).  Read: we have something we can build on.

   + Within each item, tags can now appear is random order which is
     or was not the case with the old headline code where we expect
     <link>s prior to <description>s for example.

   + Feed updates only (ie. always) happen through cron.  Neither do
     we use one global cron for updating all feeds; instead, every
     feed can specify his own update-interval.

   + Newly fetched headlines are "appended" to the pool of existing
     headlines (read: we don't replace the whole feed), and headlines
     automatically "expire" after x days or hours.  (Every headline
     has a timestamp.)

   + Got rid of backend.class; it is integrated in the module.

   + Switched to more generic names: "headline" became "item" and
     "backend" became "feed".  This should ease future non-headline
     oriented syndication.

   + You can associate attributes or keyword lists with every feed.
     At the moment new items will automatically inherit their feeds
     attributes but in future we can use heuristics to make these
     attributes "mutate" when and where we see fit.  The attributes
     can be maintained by hand as well.

   + We don't export any blocks yet; we will soon do as soon this
     new code has been tested for a bit more.  We will only export
     bundles though so if you want to export by feed/source, you
     will have to make a source-specific bundle.

- Polished a bit on a few other modules: nothing major.

- Wrapped the test URLs in urlencode()

- Added a experimental index.module to try out some of the discussed
  techniques.  It does not work yet, nor is it integrated with the
  rest of the code.

- Improved the rating module: made it possible to define "weights"
  for the different content types.  These weights are used when
  calculating each user's gravity.  This is a required step before
  we can even think of "nodifying" the diary or headline module.

- Polished a bit more on the other modules' crons.

- Fixed a small glitch in the moderation queue.

- Improved the crons and cron settings a bit.

- Added a cron to queue.module to automatically discard or dump nodes
  older than x days.

Hmmm for some reason the \r\n's in the poll output where being changed into <br>'s... is that because of the check_output() legacy functions inside the themes? In anycase, I removed em.

- Replaced $theme->story() by a more generic $theme->node().  All themes
  required an update (and so will your custom themes).

- Fixed small glitch in check_preview().

- Updated CHANGELOG.

  When $field was 0 it would return true, causing SQL errors. Seems to
  convert the string its being matched with to a numeric, normally 0. Forced
  $field to be treated as a string by enclosing it in quotes.

  Apache, but seems that the latest versions are not as forgiving.

Please update drop.org as soon as possible, coz my crappy poll.mod is making drupal look bad :(

This baby is fixed.

(Hopefully) a fix for the "n.active" watchdog error... forgot that node_get_XXXX() only queries node properties.

- Removed includes/timer.inc: it has been integrated in common.inc.

- Fixed a bug in node.php: UnConeD forgot to update 1 node_get_object().

- I changed the look of theme_morelink() a bit: it might not look better,
  but at least the output is "correct".

- Various small improvements.

- Improved node_get() so that it will try to skip one additional query
  if possible (ie. to reduce the number of queries).

- Automatically removed tabs and trailing spaces from the poll.module.

- Fixed small glitch in locale.module.

- Added the "delete" hook for node-modules. When called, a module should do additional clean-up if necessary.

- Updated all node-modules

- Improved node_preview().  Fixes a problem with poll.module.

- 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.

- Cleaned up the coding style

It's mainly intended as a sideblock-element as there's no real use in having them show up on the mainpage. There's no real poll-browsing system for now either.

I still need to write documentation, and I'm not yet satisfied with the node-output (non-sideblock). I should be able to improve it once the $theme->nodebox ideas get finalized.
