Over the last 2 days I redid and reorganized an afwul lot of code and
made quite a lot of additions.   The most remarkable addition is the
diary server, which I slapped together in less then 40 minutes.   Most
of the other changes are however `unvisible' for the user but add much
value to a better maintainability from a developer's objective.  Like
always, I fixed quite a number of small bugs that creeped into the code
so we should have a bigger, better and more stable drop.org.

Unfortunatly, some theme update _are_ required:


REQUIRED THEME UPDATES:
=======================

* use format_username() where usernames are used
* use format_date() where timestamps/dates are used
* use format_email() where e-mail addresses are displayed
* use format_url() where url are displayed
* replace 'formatTimestamp' with format_date
* replace 'morelink_*' with 'display_morelink'

[most of these functions are in function.inc or template.inc]

___PLEASE___ (<- this should get your attention ;) update your themes
as soon as possible - it only takes 30 min. to get in sync with the
other themes.  Don't start whining about the fact you don't know what
to change ... either eat the source cookie, or ask me to elaborate on
a few changes.  Just let me know what's puzzling you and I'll try to
help you out!


TODO LIST FOR NEXT WEEK
=======================
* Add checks for max. text length in textarea's?  Is there an HMTL
  attribute for this or ...?
* Comment moderation + mojo
* Edit/admin user accounts: block, delete, change permissions, ...
* E-mail password, change password, change e-mail address -> extra
  checks and routines to validate such `special' changes.
* Input checking - input filter: bad words, html tags, ...

* A new file which add a log-service to drop.org.

... and the correct MySQL configuration/settings would help us an awful lot ... ;)

A really BIG, BIG UPDATE, after two straight days of nothing but code
and sleep, new stuff is finally in drop.org.  This is a quite large
and wide-ranging update, which affects almost all of the system files
in one way or another.  I fixed quite a lot of bugs and added quite a
lot of new features, mostly administrative tools as these were really
lacking.  It's far from finished but it's a start ...

* Fixes the calendar bug reported by UnConeD.
* The rest of my stuff (administration stuff) isn't ready to be
  commited yet ... :I

* My eye catched a typo and I had to fix that...

* Temporary removed webboard.php as agreed upon.  If we ever make a
  new webboard, the code is likely to be incorporated into
  discussion.php.

* Fixed the *mumble*bug*mumble*

* Just a quick test

* Fixed 2 small bugs in submit.php reported by Pepijn (kangaroot.net).

Updates:
--------

* URI/URL enhancements to make the URLs more comprehensive and shorter.
* Fixed a bug in submit.php that slipped in during the latest commit.
* Changed a few tidbits on the calendar.
* Fixed a bug in most themes:
    $tid       --> $cid
    COUNT(tid) --> COUNT(cid)
  Updated most themes except for UnConeD's.
* Fixed a handful of problems with Jeroen's theme.  However, Jeroen's
  theme is still not working yet - some features are completly missing,
  making the theme not very useful ...

Any known bugs left?  If not, I'll head on tonight and add some new
features.  I'll probably add basic admin tools to edit articles and
such.  Once done, we can start on the comment moderation.

Bugfixes:
  (1) fixed SQL bug in search.php.
  (2) fixed SQL bug in discussion.php.
  (3) fixed theme-bug in submit.php.
  (4) fixed theme-bug in discussion.php.
  (5) fixed Dries2-theme: it more or less works now though
      I still have to change the look/layout.

Important:
  (3) and (4) did fix the i-suddenly-seem-to-log-out behavior.

* Updated small tidbits ... :)

* 2 small bugfixes
* I'll try to update my 2nd theme later this weekend

-- Dries

 * 2 bugfixes to discussion.php and themes/Dries/theme.class.php.
 * Added a 'disclaimer' and 'terms and conditions' to the FAQ.

* discussion.php replaces both article.php and comments.php

* _Major_ update of the comments and moderation system: it's a lot more
  stream-lined and more compact.  There are a few parts I like to optimize
  prior to heading towards comment moderation.

  Please test, report bugs and update the footer()-part of your themes a
  bit (see my theme)!!!


-- Dries

* Added more and better error checking which should fix 'potential'
  bugs or weird behavior in case something goes wrong.  We aim for
  something that is rock-solid, right? :-)

* Update: improved error checking/handling.

* Fixed at least 5 bugs!!! :)

* Yet another bugfix (hopefully).

* Updated the FAQ: added new stuff.

* Small bugfixes and minor updates.

* Bugfixes:
   - the stories in the submission queue should not be accesible.
   - the author-field is redundant due to the public moderation.

* Fixed yet another quote problem...

* Fixed a bug in submission.inc and a minor glitch in my theme.

* Adjusted calendar to scale well in IE at 800x600!
* <chit-chat>
   UnConeD: - what about integrating it in your theme now?
            - how was your last exam, btw?
   Natrak : - did you arrived well?
   Jeroen : - how was your *cough*blind date*cough*?
  </chit-chat>

* Small bugfix from Ekeren - Dries
  (hopefully it works)

* Small, quick and dry bugfix.

* Small bugfix for `Display mode'.

* Various small bugfixes and enhancements: I think I fixed all bugs I
  knew about.
* The code generated by my theme `Dries' is now 90% of the time
  aligned correctly. :o)

* A fix related to the comment system - one of the settings is now
  truncated.

in the pipe and no drop will leak out of it.

* Commited a *temporary* version of the new comment system: I have been
  working on it for about 4 a 5 hours today and I considered it would be
  smart (backup- or crash-wise) to commit what I have made so far.  I'm
  aware of a few bugs and I'll keep workin on it:
    - removing bugs
    - clean up the code to make it very streamlined
    - improve error checking
  Once we got a stable comment system, I'll add moderation.  But right
  now I want to sort out the major problems.
* I made my theme the default theme until the other themes are updated.
* Expanded the database abstraction layer with more goodies.

* Updated SQL table listing (for those who care).
