- Patch #7725 by Marius: fixed glitch in e-mail address validation code.  A subset of all e-mail addresses was rejected as valid.

- Patch #7966 by Goba: The box has it's content wrapped in a paragraph now, which is not suitable for the purposes the box is used in. Boxes are used to wrap tables or forms with titles. The comment module uses theme(box, ...) to wrap forms into boxes for example. Therefore using a paragraph does not make the output valid XHTML and a div is needed.

- Modified patch #7958 by Adrian: store status messages in a session so they can persist when redirection is used.

- Patch #7723 by Roderik: added strtolower()s to make PostgreSQL behave like MySQL and to be more 'forgiving' for users logging in on a PostgreSQL powered Drupal site.

- Usability improvement: simplified the administration menu of the aggregator
  module.

- Simplified the 'anonymous poster settings' of the comment module and
  made it possible to enforce a username/e-mail address.  Based on
  James Seng's work there are now 3 radio buttons:

   ( ) Anonymous users may not enter contact information
   ( ) Anonymous users may leave contact information
   ( ) Anonymous users must leave contact information

- Fixed a bug in the default theme_comment_view() function.

- Added permalinks for comments.  Requested by Michael and Christina.
  Maintainers of contributed themes might want to add permalinks too.

TODO:

- Fix the interaction design of the submission form: the page you are
  directed to and the validation of the contact information.

- Changing the comment viewing options appears to be broken?

- Made it possible for anonymous users to leave their name, e-mail address
  and the URL of their homepage.  Patch by Pablo.

- Patch #6682 by jhriggs: added form_checkboxes(), much like form_radios()
  and updated some modules to take advantage of it.

- Fixed categorize not working under sources and category views.

- Made the recent news items page, the source pages and the categorization
  pages use pagers.  Removed the 'Items per page' setting and made Drupal
  remember news items much longer.

- Code improvements by JonBob.  Thanks again.

- Added support for multiple user roles.  Patch by Jim Hriggs.

- Menu and code improvements by JonBob.

- Patch #7585 by Gerhard: extra data added by profile.module to the user
  object got saved in the user's data column even if there is a dedicated
  table for that information.

- Patch #7577 by JonBob: various code style improvements to the statistics
  module.

   + Usages of to print titles have been replaced by proper drupal_set_title()
     calls.
   + Many arg() usages dropped in favor of meaningful parameters.
   + Doxygen comments standardized and expanded.
   + Some grammatical corrections to help text.
   + Broken /statistics page linked from page navigation restored.
   + Fixed small bug in menu.inc pertaining to menu callbacks without
     arguments.

- Patch #7581 by bylund: made the archive module's calendar accessible.

- Patch #7096 by bylund: fixed a bug with the node filters at the node administration page (administration > content)

- Patch #7504 by bylund: multiple form_radio-function calls is used instead
  of a single form_radios-call. This could cause problems when trying to
  style individual form elements.
