#308434 by drewish, dopry, quicksketch, aaron, jhedstrom, and friends: Massive file.inc cleanup aaaaaand... tests! Yay! :D

- Patch #302763 by Dave Reid, Rob Loach: replace time() by ['REQUEST_TIME'] as per Rasmus' suggestion.  Removed drupal_referrer() for consistency.

- Patch #64967 by Arancaytar, meba: ereg -> preg for performance reasons and future compatilbility.  PHP6 is rumoured to drop ereg support.

- Patch #245115 by kkaefer, John Morahan, JohnAlbin et al: after a long discussion we've decided to make the concatenation operator consistent with the other operators.

- Patch #30984 by webchick, keith.smith, kkaefer, Crell et al: provide descriptions for permissions on the permission administration page.

#153998 by David_Rothstein and myself: clean up permissions in book, blog, blogapi, forum and locale modules

- Patch #204900 by webernet: code style fixes.  Likely my last patch of the year.  Fiew.  Thanks all, and see you on the other side.  :)

#200069 by keith.smith: new standard for 'more information' links in module help texts, as the handbook we referred to before was renamed

#152497 by JohnAlbin, bdragon, moshe weitzman, chx and myself: several user login tasks, such as session id regeneration were not performed in all cases, so centralize this

#189870 by O Govinda, keith.smith and catch: more user centric help text for Blog API module, standardizing on 'blog' terminology also

#154064 by pwolanin: get hook_help() up to speed to menu changes, allowing router path based lookups, and also full path argument lookup with a passed argument array

- Patch #34755 by chx et al: faster menu system.  HEAD is temporary broken and there is no upgrade path yet.

- Patch #92992 by webchick and neclimdul: clean up documentation that is superseded by the new 'by module' administration dashboard.

- Patch #98688 by greggles: string cleanup.  Follow RFC2606 and use example.com for domain name examples.  Core uses that consistently so make sure your contributed modules do too.

- Patch #77919 by chx, eaton, moshe, et al: enable programmaticaly submitted forms via the pull model.

See: http://drupal.org/node/64279#t-placeholders

- Patch #78806 by James: moshe brought to my attention that the blogapi RSD was giving preferred treatment to bloggerapi - since we actually support much more feature rich apis (namely movabletype's) ... this patch gives the preferred treatment to MT. Also, it removes the unused "XML-RPC engine" setting - which wasn't being used anyway. And, since, any of the 3 API options will work regardless, this setting is extraneous.

   + reorganized ?q=admin/settings
   + deprecated the _settings hook
