- added who is online block.
- made weblog module more configurable.
- users may now delete their own accounts (Feature #8)
- users may now request a password using email address *or* username.
  formerly required both items to match an account which was onerous.
- the link to request a new password is now presented whenever a user
  fails login.
- there is now a confirmation message after submitting edits to your
  user information.
- error messages in user.module may now be stylized by themes.
- <hook>_form has a $param setting you can fill with form parameters.
- improved wording for a few config settings.
- fixed various non-coding standard things.

- Added documentation contributed by Moshe.

- Fixed more than 30 HTML and XML well-formedness errors.

- Added about 50 title tags.

- Fixed bug with comment sorting (reported by weitzman).

- New comments are being marked with a small red star.

- Fixed a typo: comments_all() -> comment_all()

- Added "x new comments" feature.  Requires a SQL update.

- Tidied up some comment related code in node.module.

- 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!

- Revised the comment links: when a user does not have the required
  permissions to post comments, the "reply to this comment"-link is
  no longer shown.  Also, when a user is a "comment administrator",
  an "administer"-link will be displayed.

- Revised the threaded_min and threaded_max code: it makes rendering
  pages with more than 15 comments 200% times faster.

- Removed (the need for) the Comment-class: makes for cleaner code.

- Fixed the comment preview function: the preview shown was not being
  an exact preview of the comment.  Along the way, I polished the
  comment submission code.

- XMTML-ified the code, and quoted all "string"-based array indices.

- Fixed a problem with the variable scopes.  Thanks Natrak.

comment.module:
  - small improvements to the comment admin interface.
  - merged comment.inc and comment.module.

- Bugfix: you can no longer add non-existant node types.  Thanks barry.

- Moved all comment related logic from node.module to comment.module.

- Small update wrt filters.

A set of updates to the "_link" system:

 - Made the /comment links/ jump to the comments instead of to the top
   of the page.

 - Replaced the "Add comment"-button by a "add new comment"-link.
   (This should make UnConeD jump up and down of wild excitement.)

 - Moved all comment related logic from theme.inc and node.module to
   comment.inc and comment.module (where they belong).

 - Added some links to ease the site's usability/navigation.

- 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'.

- PEAR-ification of Drupal by claw: you can now host Drupal on a wide
  range of databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and others.

  For additional information and an 'how to upgrade', check the mails
  sent to the mailing list.

- Improved search architecture derived from Axel's new search patches.
  (There is room for improvement so let's go from these ... and build
  on them.)

- Removed some $status's by calls to node_status().

- 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)!

- a batch of updates, including some experimental changes to the moderation
  of comments and nodes.

- improved the search system by making it context sensitive

- Added the new user module!

- Changed the authentication and login scheme as discussed on the mailing
  list.
- Fixed the export function in book.module (patch my Julian).
- Fixed the comment alignment (comments got truncated).

- import.module:
    + applied Julian's fputs() patch
    + fixed typo

- cloud.module:
    + applied Julian's fputs() patch

- comment.module:
    + applied Julian's "delete" patch

   + fixed 2 small HTML typos in meta.module
   + better watchdog messages in comment.module
   + fixed typo in block.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!

- 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 ...

- Code review: improved search API, tidied up the search related code,
  and fixed a tiny bug when searching for users.

- 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.

CHANGES:

- Added moderator permissions to nodes.

- Added moderator support to structure.module.

- Added new moderate.module.

- Renamed moderation.module to queue.module to avoid confusing.
  Updated theme yaroon as it seems to have a hard-coded reference
  to moderation.module.

- Polished on:
   + account.module: improved access list
   + fixed HTML typo in node.module

ACTIONS:

- Jeroen: can jeroen2.theme be removed from ./themes/yaroon?

Welp.  Large commit ahead.

CHANGES:

- Added "read" and "write" permissions into drupal but removed
  it again because - when finished after 3 hours of work - it
  was considered nothing but added complexity that didn't buy
  us anything. :I

  (I'll explain this in detail on the mailing list, I guess.)

- Added a very simple help.module to group all available
  documentation on a single page.

- Fixed bug in node_control(), book.module: UnConeD forgot to
  global $user when updating the combobox code.

- Removed static wishlist.module: in future, the wishlist can
  be maintained as a page in our collaborative book.

- Revised most of settings.module: tidied up the code and the
  descriptions to accompany the settings and introduced a new
  "default maximum number of nodes to display on the main page"
  variable.

- Revised most of comment.module: the administration interface
  looks better now, integrated node permissions, and -finally-
  made it possible to delete comments.

- Polished on:
   + account.module
   + structure.module
   + locale.module
   + module.module
   + forum.module

- Form-ified:
   + account.php
   + account.module
   + setting.module
   + cvs.module
   + submit.php
   + comment.module
   + forum.module
   + book.module
   + page.module
   + locale.module

- Updated CHANGELOG

INFO:

- Designed a "generic tracker system with optional backends"
  on paper.  The idea is to allow registered users to hot-list
  certain topics, individual nodes or threads (comments) and
  to "plug-in" output backends like - for instance - an e-mail
  digest.  The design requires "intelligent blocks" though.


TODO:

- I want to tidy up the headline.module and backend.class as
  well as merge in headlineRSS10.module.  Julian spent quite
  some time working on headline.module but I'm not sure what
  he changed and whether he'd contribute it back?

- various smaller improvements

- All comments on the administration page are actually "linked" now: the
  comments on the drupal page where originally *not* click-able but this
  turned out to be confusing only.   Now we live in a nodified world, we
  can simply link all comments without a single problem! :-)
