- Fixed typo: db_queryd() -> db_query()

- Bugfix: make sure to update the node_comment_statistics table when a node is updated.

- Refactored the queue module: removed the queue module's field from the node table.  With help from Gerhard.

- Slight addition to INSTALL.txt with regard to PHP versions.

- Updated/reworded some node type descriptions as per Boris' suggestions.

- Adding missing {} around a table name in update.php.

   1. Fixed broken watchdog calls: two watchdog calls omitted the type parameter, and thus injected logs into the type field, instead of the message field.
   2. Removed t() functions from user contributed content.

- Patch #12555 by svemir: fixed problem with the 'Preview comment' button not being present when previews are optional.

- Patch #13263 and #13265 by arnab: added word-based truncation and made the comment module use it to extract subjects.

- Patch 13180 by chx: renamed check_query() to db_escape_string() and implemtented it properly per database backend.

  Read the manual for pg_escape_string:  "Use of this function is recommended instead of addslashes()." Or read sqlite_escape_string: "addslashes() should NOT be used to quote your strings for SQLite queries; it will lead to strange results when retrieving your data."

- Patch #12783 by Stefan: various small consistency/usability improvements.

The primary goal of this patch is to take the 'custom' and 'path' columns of the block overview page and make them into something understandable. As of Drupal 4.5 'custom' lacked an explanation which wasn't buried in help text and path required dealing with regular expressions.

Every block now has a configuration page to control these options. This gives more space to make form controls which do not require a lengthy explanation. This page also gives modules a chance to put their block configuration options in a place that makes sense using new operations in the block hook.

The only required changes to modules implementing hook_block() is to be careful about what is returned. Do not return anything if $op is not 'list' or 'view'. Once this change is made, modules will still be compatible with Drupal 4.5. Required changes to core modules are included in this path.

An additional optional change to modules is to implement the additional $op options added. 'configure' should return a string containing the configuration form for the block with the appropriate $delta. 'configure save' will come with an additional $edit argument, which will contain the submitted form data for saving. These changes to core modules are also included in this patch.

1) Clean up the text analyser: make it handle UTF-8 and all sorts of characters. The word splitter now does intelligent splitting into words and supports all Unicode characters. It has smart handling of acronyms, URLs, dates, ...

2) It now indexes the filtered output, which means it can take advantage of HTML tags. Meaningful tags (headers, strong, em, ...) are analysed and used to boost certain words scores. This has the side-effect of allowing the indexing of PHP nodes.

3) Link analyser for node links. The HTML analyser also checks for links. If they point to a node on the current site (handles path aliases) then the link's words are counted as part of the target node. This helps bring out commonly linked FAQs and answers to the top of the results.

4) Index comments along with the node. This means that the search can make a difference between a single node/comment about 'X' and a whole thread about 'X'. It also makes the search results much shorter and more relevant (before this patch, comments were even shown first).

5) We now keep track of total counts as well as a per item count for a word. This allows us to divide the word score by the total before adding up the scores for different words, and automatically makes noisewords have less influence than rare words. This dramatically improves the relevancy of multiword searches. This also makes the disadvantage of now using OR searching instead of AND searching less problematic.

6) Includes support for text preprocessors through a hook. This is required to index Chinese and Japanese, because these languages do not use spaces between words. An external utility can be used to split these into words through a simple wrapper module. Other uses could be spell checking (although it would have no UI).

7) Indexing is now regulated: only a certain amount of items will be indexed per cron run. This prevents PHP from running out of memory or timing out. This also makes the reindexing required for this patch automatic. I also added an index coverage estimate to the search admin screen.

8) Code cleanup! Moved all the search stuff from common.inc into search.module, rewired some hooks and simplified the functions used. The search form and results now also use valid XHTML and form_ functions. The search admin was moved from search/configure to admin/search for consistency.

9) Improved search output: we also show much more info per item: date, author, node type, amount of comments and a cool dynamic excerpt à la Google. The search form is now much more simpler and the help is only displayed as tips when no search results are found.

10) By moving all search logic to SQL, I was able to add a pager to the search results. This improves usability and performance dramatically.

- Patch #11670 by TDobes: comment.module did not properly set a breadcrumb for creating/previewing new comments. The node on which your commenting and its location within the menu is not displayed. Instead, there is only a "Home" link. This is especially apparent when the "add new comment" form is set up to display on a separate page.

- Patch #10664 by TDobes: fixed collapsed comments + updated the code comments.

- Patch #11605 by TDobes: if a user happens to have uid=0 defined in their database, the name assigned to that user will always override any name submitted by an anonymous commenter. Checking against $user->uid instead of $user->registered_name fixes this problem.

- Patch #11577 by drumm: changed t('ago') -> t('%time ago', ...) to make it
  translatable in languages such as Spanish.

- Orphaned the node_link() hook as per #9769.

- Fixed critical bug #10664: made comment in collapsed mode work.  One more down.

- Patch #4925 by erikhopp: comment module emits too many id="comment"s, so the comment form's one has been renamed to 'comment-form'.  This is also more consistent with the 'node-form' one.

- Patch #11316 by ankur: added missing %d in INSERT-query.

- Patch #11286 by Neill: fixed broken link in form description.

- Patch #10920 by jhriggs: fixed bug with comment moderation.

Modified version of #10230: Put placement of filter format selector in a module's hands, and move it below the relevant textarea.

- Patch #10977 by Gerhard: added node permission checks to the SQL queries.

  NOTE: I had to modify the book module patch for it to work -- it was throwing SQL errors at me.

- Patch #10722 by drumm: the user's signature was not remembered when the 'my account' form was found to be invalid.

- Patch #8179 by JonBob: reintroduced menu caching.

- Fixed SQL problem in _comment_update_node_statistics().

- Patch #10308 by Bart Jansens/ccourtne: fixed shadow copies.

- Patch #10308 by ccourtne: performance improvements: comment statistics are now cached in a new SQL table which significantly improves performance of the forum block and the forum pages.  These pages are about 3 times faster now!

- Bugfix: comment subject where not always enabled by default because the default value of comment_subject_field varies.

Comment previewing was broken since 1.263, resulting in a double page.

- Patch by JonBob: for consistency and readability, add brief descriptions of each source file inside the @file comment block at the head of the file. This helps with Doxygen indexing, and also allows neophytes to see what a file does immediately on opening the source, regardless of the organization of the hooks.
