- 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).

- Patch #7725 by Marius: fixed glitch in e-mail address validation code.  A subset of all e-mail addresses was rejected as valid.

- Patch #7966 by Goba: The box has it's content wrapped in a paragraph now, which is not suitable for the purposes the box is used in. Boxes are used to wrap tables or forms with titles. The comment module uses theme(box, ...) to wrap forms into boxes for example. Therefore using a paragraph does not make the output valid XHTML and a div is needed.

- Modified patch #7958 by Adrian: store status messages in a session so they can persist when redirection is used.

- Patch #7723 by Roderik: added strtolower()s to make PostgreSQL behave like MySQL and to be more 'forgiving' for users logging in on a PostgreSQL powered Drupal site.

- Usability improvement: simplified the administration menu of the aggregator
  module.

- 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.

- Patch #6682 by jhriggs: added form_checkboxes(), much like form_radios()
  and updated some modules to take advantage of it.

- Fixed categorize not working under sources and category views.

- Made the recent news items page, the source pages and the categorization
  pages use pagers.  Removed the 'Items per page' setting and made Drupal
  remember news items much longer.

- Code improvements by JonBob.  Thanks again.

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

- Menu and code improvements by JonBob.

- Patch #7585 by Gerhard: extra data added by profile.module to the user
  object got saved in the user's data column even if there is a dedicated
  table for that information.

- Patch #7577 by JonBob: various code style improvements to the statistics
  module.
