- Patch #7350 by Mathias: return part a taxonomy tree to a user-defined
  depth/level.

- Updated CHANGELOG.txt.

- Reworked comment submission.  It is less broken now.

- Improved form handling.

  + Introduced two new functions:
      1. form_set_error($name, $message): files an error against the form
         element with the specified  $name.
      2. form_has_errors(): returns true if errors has been filed against
         form elements.

  + Updated the form handling:
       1. The form_ functions will add 'class="error"' when a form field
          has been found to be erroneous.
       2. The error message is passed to theme_form_element() when the
          particular form field has been found to be erroneous.

  + I updated the user and profile module to take advantage of these new
    functions.

  + IMPORTANT: the _user() hook changed.  The 'validate' case should no
    longer retun an error message when something goes wrong but should
    set it with form_set_error().

- Patch 7444 (#35) by Pablo.  This patch addresses some issues with showing
  anonymous usernames in comments.  It does not solve all my problems, but
  others claim it works as advertised.  I'm committing this because it does
  fix some pending issues (even though that might not be the end of it).

- 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.

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

- 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.

- Added support for 403 handling.  Patch by JonBob.  As a side benefit,
  administrators will be able to define a custom 403 page, just as they
  can define 404 pages now.

  This needs to be documented in the "Changes since / migrating to ..."
  pages.

- Fixed problem with global session variable that caused the wrong page to
  be rendered after posting a comment.

  configurable!  Menu items can be disabled, repositioned, added and
  so on.

  Upgrading to requires you to run update.php.

  This functionality depricates some of the 'navigation modules' in the
  contributions repository.  Furthermore, modules can now 'suggest'
  menu items and site adminstrators can choose to enable them.  Modules
  in the contributions repository should try to take advantage of this.

Truncate UTF-8 patch. Introduced a new function truncate_utf8() for chopping off strings at unsure locations, without risking incomplete UTF-8 data.

  + Updated the _user() hook's "$type == 'view'" case to match the
     "$type == 'edit'" case.  That is, both have to return an associtive
     array of the format array('category' => 'fields').

   + Updated the profile pages to group fields by category.  Made possible
     thanks to the above change.

   + Moved logic out of the theme_ functions.

- Rewrote the profile module:

   + Added a 'created' field to the users table and renamed the 'timestamp'
     fied to 'changed' (cfr. node table).  Update.php will try to determine
     a 'created' timestamp for existing users.

   + The profile module no longer uses serialized data but has its own set
     of tables.  Known existing profile data is migrated by these new tables.
       TODO: migrate the birthday field.

   + The profile fields can be grouped, and within each group, profile fields
     can be sorted using weights.

   + The profile pages can be themed.

   + The profiles can be browsed based on certain properties/settings.

   + Change the _user hook: (i) 'private_view' and 'public_view' are merged
     into 'view' as there are no private fields and (ii) 'edit_form' has
     been renamed to 'edit'.

   + Avatar handling has been refactored and is now part of the user module.
     The users table has a dedicted 'picture' field.

   + Simplified the way themes should use display/visualize pictures or
     avatars.

   + Made it possible for administrators to replace or delete avatars.

   + ...

  I hope this make for a good base to build on collectively.

- Removed broken throttle.

- Patch #6129 by Goba: fixed dependencies on search module.

- Patch by Steven: removed redundant permission checks.  These are no longer
  required thanks to the new 404 handling.

- Patch #4861 by Moshe/TDobes: made the comment module use the _link hook.

- Patch 5592 by Goba: introduced a new function, drupal_map_assoc().

  + only adds an optional parameter to url() and l(), so individual links
    can be set to be absolute
  + modifies drupal_goto() to accept the parameters of url() without the
    $absolute parameter, so cleaner invocations can be used
  + rework of some code in node_feed, making it much better to look at
    (the current code uses foreach with an immediate brake to get the first
    key of the associative array, geeeeez)
  + added xml:base to the rss tag generated by node_feed()
  + set all user mail URLs to be absolute
  + fix a small fragmented URL in user.module

- Patch #5766 by Moshe: replace getenv() with $_SERVER.

   + Tidied up the profile configuration page: grouped form elements.

   + Tidied up the block configuration settings: removed hard-coded
     table.

   + Changed the profile API to return the preferred group name, and
     changed the user module to group settings.  Modules implementing
     the _user hook will need to be udpated.

   + Removed register_form and register_validate for now.

- Patch #5501: fixed invalid HTML in the comment and tracker module.

- Patch by Goba: added form descriptions where appropriate and removed some
  duplicated code from the comment module.

- Patch 4332 by Goba: eliminate compose tips module.

- Patch #5393 by Goba: changes the search hook return value, and requires an array
  containing two elements, the first being the requested title, and the second being
  the result list. Advantages:
    * Cleaner search code in common.inc
    * Po extraction is possible and works fine
    * No hardcoded exceptions for node and comment modules, since any module can
      return results in order of relevance (or another order)

Patch 5287 by Stefan: multiline help texts should become inside a single $output.

- Patch 5283 by Stefan: fixed typos in comment module.
