- fixed bug in block placement when (1) using a theme with 2 side bars
  and (2) being logged out.
  (reported by Jeroen)
- themed "Editor's note" in theme marvin.
  (reported by Jeroen)

- added fine-grained user permission system which allows us to give
  certain users access to specific administration sections only.
    Ex. a FAQ maintainer can only edit the FAQ, and members of an
        "editorial board" can only edit comments, diaries and
         stories, ..
- code review => rewrote include/user.inc which is much easier now
- fixed 4 small bugs

- improved the "menu" hook
- replaced the "open submission queue" (submission.php and submission.inc)
  with an optional module (submission.module).
- tidied up the HTML code of some files

- More updates on the translation support

- initial import of the preliminary translation code.
- added timer.inc for benchmarking purpose
- bugfix for php-clean
- bugfix for account.php
- removed redundant format_data
- ...

- a 2nd batch of various updates

- removed redundant spaces

- fix for the "block problem" reported by martin@abol.com:
  it only happened when you hosted drupal in a subdirectory a la
      http://yourserver.com/drupal/

I know, I know, it is getting nasty lately but I have another large commit after nothing but code.

This time I redid the "category"-stuff.  Categories - from now on called sections - are now maintained from the admin pages, can have their own post, dump and timout thresholds as discussed earlier (some weeks ago).  By tomorrow evening users will be able to enable or disable section as well - i.e. to customize the content of drop.org.

- 2 more bugfixes

- updated/improved discussion engine: it needs additional fine-tuning
  though but I think this is stable enough for public consumption and
  real-life testing.
   ==> a first big step towards a flexible comment engine.

IMPORTANT:
  - Required theme updatins:

    UnConeD: check your $theme->controls() as I added a very, very
             dummy implementation

  - Required database updates:

    alter table users modify mode tinyint(1) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
    alter table comments change sid lid int(6) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;
    alter table comments add link varchar(16) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
    update comments set link = 'story';

- Harry Zink reported that 'administrate' is not entirely correct English
  so I renamed "administrate xxx" to "administer xxx".

- rewrote the block placement stuff and updated the themes.
  IMPORTANT: you have to drop 2 tables "blocks" and "layout"
             and you have to recreate them again with those
             in database/database.mysql
- integrated the documentation written by UnConeD

- created 2 new functions; check_textfield() and check_textarea() and
  integrated them were appropriate.  It works better and the code is
  more readable then it used to be:
    (see http://drop.org/discussion.php?id=44&pid=0#0)

- story authors can no longer moderate their own stories
    (requested by Natrak)

- fix inie-winnie small detail in theme marvin

  - fixed comment rating bug: improved the API and updated the

    I'm not happy yet with the headline grabber - it generates
    too many SQL errors.
  - some small cosmetic changes in comment.module
  - fixed minor glitch in format_interval()

- fixed small flaw that showed up with PHP 4.0.0-rcxx but not with PHP 4.0.4

Surprise, surprise.  After nothing but code, a large batch of changes:
 - removed droplets
 - added (optional) admin_blocks module
 - added (optional) affiliate module
 - added (optional) about module (only placeholder, under construction)
 - fixed some tiny bugs (e.g. quote bug in search.php)
 - partionally rewrote some modules to be big, bad and better
 - partionally rewrote some modules to be more uniform
 - added GNU GPL license to CVS

Also:
 - installed PHP 4.0.4 on my localhost and now working
   towards PHP 4.0.4 compatibility.
 - I think I'll baptize the engine "drupal".  If you have a
   better idea, try convincing me ASAP.

Todo:
 - more testing (also with PHP 4.0.4)
 - make "project"-module: download, info, blah blah
 - complete documentation

- some improvements and code polishing
- added a few extra blocks to choose from

- small glitch

Yet another large batch of updates:

 - I rearranged some of the code and clean-up some of the mess.

 - Added "blocks" which can be user defined/controlled: check
   to see.  The positioning of blocks is rather basic for the
   moment, so I'm all open for input on that.

- intermediate commit: some bugfixes, changes and some drastic
  changes to block and module support

- large batch of updates

- large batch of updated files featuring various changes: big, small and
  new stuff!

code or ask me to elaborate on certain issues/topics.
