- fixed access checks on the register form, do this before you enter the
  _save function. If registrations are disabled the register link will
  no longer show (again).
- changed &#187 to &raquo, using the names of entities are better than
  the numbers.
- fixed user information being set when account is registered (properly this
  time, really!)
- reversed the if(!...) commit.
- node_add specifies more defaults.
- added link to blog entries from user page.

- fixing the UI to represent what actually happens when you are an admin.

- updated node modules not to cause errors when taxonomy module is disabled.
- added %date variable to user mail configuration.
- added hyperlinks to admin.php?mod=system (site configuration) for easy access.
- usual coding style and xhtml fixes.

- fixed block permissions.
- fixed user admin page errors: http://www.drupal.org/node.php?id=173.
- cleaned up common.inc a bit: removed format_info, path_img, field_merge.

    * fixed mails not being parsed properly.
    * tracker now shows user name when you view your own recent
      comments.
    * link to submission queue now points to the right place.
    * fixed jabber module.
    * theme is now activated when changed.
- applied Gerhards coding style patch.

- Applied Marco's big patch, including contributions from Moshe:

    + Changed the db_query() API.

    + Wrapped all links in l(), lm(), la(), ..., drupal_url() functions.

    + XHTML-ified some HTML.

    + Wrapped a lot of text in the administrative pages in a t()
      function.

    + Replaced all $REQUEST_URI/$PATH_INFOs by request_uri().

    + Small bugfixes (eg. bug in book_export_html() and clean-ups (eg.
      RSS code).

    + Fixed some bugs in the taxonomy module (eg. tree making bug), added
      new functionality (eg. new APIs for use by other modules), included
      Moshe's taxonomy extensions, and some documentation udpates.

    + ...

- Made the calendar module accept a $date parameter such that you
  can jump directly to a certain date in the archives.  Also made
  the calendar link to itself such that it is self-contained.

- Code beautifications: quoted a lot of arrays, removed dead code
  and simplified a few things.

- Replaced the Calendar class by one function "calendar_display":
  using a class (or class instance, or object) doesn't make sense
  in the archives' case.

- Renamed "calendar.module" to "archive.module".

- Fixed a /problem/ with node settings not always being saved like
  expected.

- Reorganized the user menu: renamed a couple of links for clarity
  and structure.

- Fixed a few typos.

- Added some more explanations.

- import.module:

    + Improved input filtering; this should make the news items look
      more consistent in terms of mark-up.

    + Quoted all array indices: converted all instances of $foo[bar]
      to $foo["bar"].  Made various other changes to make the import
      module compliant with the coding style.

- theme.inc:

    + Fixed small XHTML glitch

- comment system:

    + Made it possible for users to edit their comments (when certain
      criteria are matched).

    + Renamed the SQL table field "lid" to "nid" and updated the code
      to reflect this change: this is a rather /annoying/ change that
      has been asked for a few times.  It will impact the contributed
      BBS/forum modules and requires a tiny SQL update:

        sql> ALTER TABLE comments CHANGE lid nid int(10) NOT NULL;

    + Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
      comment.module where it belongs.  This also marks a first step
      towards removing/reducing "node.php".

    + Added a delete button to the comment admin form and made it so
      that Drupal prompts for confirmation prior to deleting a comment
      from the database.  This behavior is similar to that of deleting
      nodes.

    + Disabled comment moderation for now.

    + Some of the above changes will make it easier to integrate the
      upcomcing mail-to-web and web-to-mail gateways.  They are part
      of a bigger plan.  ;)

- node system:

    + Made it so that updating nodes (like for instance updating blog
      entries) won't trigger the submission rate throttle.

    + Fixed a small glitch where a node's title wasn't always passed
      to the $theme->header() function.

    + Made "node_array()" and "node_object()" more generic and named
      them "object2array()" and "array2object()".

    + Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
      comment.module where it belongs.  This also marks a first step
      towards removing/reducing "node.php".

- misc:

    + Applied three patches by Foxen.  One to improve performance of
      the book module, and two other patches to fix small glitches in
      common.inc.  Thanks Foxen!

- Fixed a typo.

- Improved teaser handling.

- Added the "add new comment" link to the forum module.

- Removed Windows line feeds ...

  passing them that way.

- A couple of new node updates

- node modules:
   + made some improvements to the node access checks

- queue module:
   + form()-ified the queue module and added some extra information
     or guidelines
   + added a few missing translations
   + ...

- node system:

   + Added the "delete node"-link: apparently it got lost during the last
     commit.  Odd.

   + Changed "Edit node" to "Edit <node_name>" on the 'edit node'-page of
     the admin section.  (There a 4 "Node"s that still need to be removed
     though.)

   + Updated the initial submission page (the old submit.php) to include
     some descriptions.

- Made the node forms support "help texts": it is not possible to configure
  Drupal to display submission guidelines, or any other kind of explanation
  such as "NO TEST POSTS", for example.

- Added node versioning: it is possible to create revisions, to view old
  revisions and to roll-back to older revisions.  You'll need to apply a
  SQL update.

  I'm going to work on the book module now, so I might be changing a few
  things to enable collaborative, moderated revisions - but feel free to
  send some first feedback, if you like.

- Added some configuration options which can be used to set the minimum
  number of words a blog/story should consist of.  Hopefully this will
  be usefull to stop the (almost empty) test blogs.

- Various improvements:
   + Fine-tuned new node permission system.
   + Fine-tuned the functions in node.inc.
   + Fine-tuned some forms.
   + XHTML-ified some code.

- Added error handling support to the <node>_form hook.

- Another batch of updates/improvements:

   + introduced basic node permissions ("create", "delete", "update" and
     "view") at the node level: it's up to the "<$node->type>_module" to
     hide gory details (if any).

   + made the "blog it"-feature in the blog and import module work with
     the new node system, in specific with the new centralized forms.

   + made it possible to update blogs.

   + made the page module work with the new node system.

   + various smaller improvements.

- 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'.

- fixed small glitch in node_del()

- fixed small glitch in comment_del()

- changed the API of the form() function.  The first parameter, the
  "action"-attribute in the <form>-tag has been made optional.  By
  default, it will be set to "$REQUEST_URI".

  Why? Because in 98% of the cases we would do:

    global $REQUEST_URI;
    $form = form($REQUEST_URI, $form_content);

  while we can do:

    $form = form($form_content);

  now.

  Update your modules (and sorry for the inconvenience)!

- Fixed bug in forum.module: when you enable locales you were unable
  to create a new forum.  (patch by Alexander)

- Added the new user module!

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!

- Fixed problem with book.module (reported by Jared).

- Fixed problem with forum.module (reported by Jared).

- Fixed problem with book.module (reported by Jared).

- Fixed problem with forum.module (reported by Jared).

- Added a brand-new access.module which allows you to manage 'roles'
  (groups) and 'permissions' ... (inspired by Zope's system).

    + Once installed, click the help-link for more information.

    + See updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql for the SQL updates.

- Modified loads of code to use our new access.module.  The system
  still has to mature though: new permissions have to be added and
  existing permissions need stream-lining.  Awaiting suggestions.

- As a direct result of the new access system, I had to rewrite the
  way the top-level links in admin.php are rendered and displayed,
  and xhtml-ified admin.php while I was at it.

TODO

- Home-brewed modules need updating, home-brewed themes not.
  (Examples: file.module, trip_link.module)

- As soon we *finished* the refactoring of the user system (KJ has
  been working on this refactoring already) we should consider to
  embed this role and permission code into account.module ...

This a rather large commit that needs a lot of fine-tuning.  If you
update, you'll break your site as you need switching from structure
to index.module: so this can be considered an intermediate commit.

If you upgrade, and you are welcome to, just create a collection
called "section" (for now) and assign your nodes some attributes
in the described format.

Feedback and bugreports are welcomed.  Questions will be answered.

CHANGES:

- comment system:
   + when replying to a node (rather then to a comment), that
     node is displayed above the reply form.
   + when replying to a comment (rather then to a node), that
     comment is displayd above the reply form.

- removed structure.inc, removed structure.module.

- node.inc:
   + added 2 new node functions called 'node_attribute_edit()' and
     'node_attribute_save()' used to 'hook in' any indexing system
    including your home-brewed stuff if you'd want to.  Currently,
    index.module is the facto default index system.

    See story.module for usage.

- book.module, story.module, poll.module, page.module, forum.module:
   + added preview functionality to administration section (via node
     module).
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

- moderate.module:
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

- book.module, story.module, page.module, forum.module:
   + increased the sizes of some textareas.

- submit.php:
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

- marvin.theme:
   + removed dead code: function story() was depricated.

- unconed.theme:
   + removed hardcoded references to drop.org.

- marvin.theme, unconed.theme, jeroen.theme, yaroon.theme, example.theme:
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

TODO:

- file.module, trip_link.module:
   + update preview functionality:
       see story.module for example.
   + remove references to 'cid' and 'tid', use 'attribute' instead:
       see story.module for example.

- extend and build upon index.module as well as making it configurable

- Added improved node scheduler:

   + Automatically post node at date 'xx/xx/xx, xx:xx'.

   + Automatically queue node at date 'xx/xx/xx, xx:xx'.

   + Automatically dump node at date 'xx/xx/xx, xx:xx'.

  Requires a database update, see ./updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

- Refactored the admin interface of node.module.  It is only a start
  but it should show the direction we are going.

   + The new interface is easier to extend with new functionality
     and operations.  New "edit xxx" links can easily be added on
     our way.

   + The new interface tries to cover all content- or node-related
     functions.  Thus making a special admin interface for each new
     node type redundant.  To demonstrate this, I removed the admin
     hook from page.module and forum.module.  This removes quite a
     bit of logic from the invidual modules which is a good sign if
     you ask me.

     A centralized GUI or interface covering all node-related
     administration should make Drupal easier to administer.

TODO:

- All node-related nodes need updating.  This should be trivial and
  I'll hapilly tackle this later tonight.

- There will be bugs, and I'm still working on this but I would like
  to get some feedback (from Natrak et all) on both user-friendliness
  and usability of this new interface.  I'm still working on it as we
  speak ...

- Moved most of the options in structure.module to node.module.  The
  structure.module either needs work, or replacement by index.module:
  see "admin > node > node settings".

  It will do for now and it can always made better when we can think
  of a better solution; it is the best I could think of.   Now what?
  index.module or structure.module?  I'm currently pro index.module.

- Drastically simplified "variable.inc".

- Removed most dependecies on structure.module from all content related
  modules.  Thus making our modules more modular.  ;)

- Fixed calculation glitch in queue.module.

- Fixed potential function name clash/conflict in rating.module, and
  simplified some code on my way.

- Started removing all global variables $status and $rstatus.  Global
  variables are "yucky" so in near future, we will replace all global
  $status variables by a call to node_status().  Originally, $status
  was only introduced as a temporary hack and nothing is as permanent
  as a temporary hack so I took it out when still possible.

- Changed the watchdog messages a bit.

  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.

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

- Updated all node-modules

- Created 2 new functions:
    + path_uri(): returns the fully-qualified URI of your drupal site.
    + path_img(): returns the image directory or http://image-server.com/
                  in case you prefer to load-balance bandwidth usage.

  Replaced all occurences of the variable "site_url" with path_uri()
  and removed "site_url" from "setting.module".

- Drastically simplified the node_save() API, which should make the
  node-forms more secure.  Updated "story.module", "book.module",
  "forum.module", "page.module" and "node.module" to reflect this
  change.  This is needs more testing so hit it, beat it, tease it.

- Fixed an occasional glitch in the configuration file loading logic.

- Made "queue.module" display an informative notice when an anonymous
  user tries accessing the moderation queue.

- Updated the hard-coded information in drupal.module a bit.

- Renamed "hostname.conf" to "setting.php" (cfr. "setting.module").
  Note that - when upgrading - you have to rename all your existing
  configuration files to reflect this change:

     yourdomain.com.conf -> yourdomain.com.php

  By default, i.e. if no configuration file is found, setting.php
  will be used instead.  Using the ".php"-extension will fix most
  configuration/security issues with .htaccess-files ...

- Removed some dead code from forum.module.

- 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!".

CHANGES:

- Added moderator information to forum.module.

- Simplified story.module, page.module, forum.module and book.module
  by removing redundant code, and by doing other small house-keeping
  tasks.
