- Fixed a drupal_goto() as identified by Marco.

- reverting a taxonomy patch that added $context checking to node/comments.

- fixed block permissions.
- fixed user admin page errors: http://www.drupal.org/node.php?id=173.
- cleaned up common.inc a bit: removed format_info, path_img, field_merge.

- Improved viewing of individual comments.

  http://www.drupal.org/node.php?id=115

Level 0 comments were still wrapped with a zero-width indentation table. Because the indentation-column contains a space, there was still a slight margin.

    * fixed mails not being parsed properly.
    * tracker now shows user name when you view your own recent
      comments.
    * link to submission queue now points to the right place.
    * fixed jabber module.
    * theme is now activated when changed.
- applied Gerhards coding style patch.

- Applied Marco's big patch, including contributions from Moshe:

    + Changed the db_query() API.

    + Wrapped all links in l(), lm(), la(), ..., drupal_url() functions.

    + XHTML-ified some HTML.

    + Wrapped a lot of text in the administrative pages in a t()
      function.

    + Replaced all $REQUEST_URI/$PATH_INFOs by request_uri().

    + Small bugfixes (eg. bug in book_export_html() and clean-ups (eg.
      RSS code).

    + Fixed some bugs in the taxonomy module (eg. tree making bug), added
      new functionality (eg. new APIs for use by other modules), included
      Moshe's taxonomy extensions, and some documentation udpates.

    + ...

- Added Marco's long-awaited taxonmy module and patches - a replacement
  for the meta system.  The patches add some extra functionality to the
  comment system (for example, comments can be set read-only) and fix a
  couple of small problems.

  + I integrated the required SQL updates from the varius *.mysql files
    into the "update.php" script.  Upgrading should be easy ...

  + I did not apply/commit the "user.diff" as requested by Marco ...

  + I didn't know what to do with "forum.module" and "forum2.module":
    what do you want me to do with it Marco?  Which one should go in?

  + Can we remove "node_index()" now; both from "node.module" and the
    themes?

  + Thanks Marco!

- 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).
