- Patch #12363: fixed glitch in user_access() as pointed out by TDobes.

- Patch #13334 by Axel: added a simple script to prefix a database scheme.

- Patch #13263 and #13265 by arnab: added word-based truncation and made the comment module use it to extract subjects.

- Removed hardcode font size from drupal.css as per #13095.

- Patch 13180 by chx: renamed check_query() to db_escape_string() and implemtented it properly per database backend.

  Read the manual for pg_escape_string:  "Use of this function is recommended instead of addslashes()." Or read sqlite_escape_string: "addslashes() should NOT be used to quote your strings for SQLite queries; it will lead to strange results when retrieving your data."

- Caching index statistics
- Minor code cleanup

- Patch #8506 by Gerhard: added basic node_load() caching.

- Adding the missing flood tables.  Sorry.

- Added generic flood control mechanism to throttle certain operations per hostname (eg. posting comments, requesting passwords, sending e-mails).  See flood_register_event() and flood_is_allowed() for details.

- Modified patch #8552 by Gerhard: added 'add child page' link to book pages you can edit.

- Modified patch #7235: do a better job checking the OS and acting upon it.

  the configuration file.

- Patch #12353 by Stefan: usability improvement: don't show 'throttle fields' unless the throttle module is enabled.

- Patch #12783 by Stefan: various small consistency/usability improvements.

- Patch #12885 by Ber: improved the Doxygen documentation of drupal_set_html_head().

- Patch #11977 by matteo: taxonomy_term_count() did not take node-level permissions into account and could return an incorrect number.

- Patch #11940 by kps: if the user is not allowed to view a newly submitted node, redirect him to the main page.

   + throttle module: flush cache when the throttle enables/disables
   + throttle module: prevent throttle being enabled by 0 users or guests when disabled
   + system module: remove requirement for statistics.module
   + block module: update help text to reflect access log is no longer required
   + statistics module: throttle is now enabled/disabled, not using levels 0-5

- Patch #12886 by thorne: fixed XHTML problem: the bluemarine theme used a border=0 attribute on the img tag for the site logo.

  * There are only two throttle levels instead of 5, namely 'enabled' and 'disabled'.  This makes it a _lot_ easier to predict when the throttle will kick in.  However, if you maintain a module that is throttle-aware, it needs to be updated!

  * The throttle mechanism now uses the current number of anonymous users or the current number of authenticated users to kick in.  This is a _lot_ more intuitive than the old throttle mechanism.

  * The throttle block has been removed -- you can now use the "Who's online" block to determine the good throttle settings.

  * Most of the documentation has been removed because it was deprecated.

  * It's less code!

- Performance improvement: made 'sid' the primary key of the sessions table.
  That should improve performance of session handling as well improve
  performance of the "Who's online"-block.  Drupal.org's sessions table
  contains appr. 40.000 sessions on a slow day and rendering the "Who's
  online"-block became a performance bottleneck.

  This change has yet to be tested on a busy site so things might go wrong.

- Patch #11427: added 'edit own forum topics' permission.

- Patch #12658 by menesis: when an administrator adds a user, the 'authenticated user' role was not assigned to the new user.

- On popular demand, patch #10178 by jhriggs: made it possible to expand menu items.

- Patch #11871 by killes: forum topics could be displayed multiple times when node-level permission were used.

- Patch #10632 by Gerhard: the book permissions in today's cvs are not consistent with the rest of Drupal. We have a "maintain books" and a "edit own book pages" permission. All other modules have a "create foo" permission. Thus the existing "maintain books" permission should be renamed to "create book pages" and a new "maintain books" permission should be introduced that allows editors to update book pages they haven't created themselves even without having "administer nodes" permission.

- Updated forum_block() to pass comment_count's to node_title_list().  This eliminates up to 10 SQL queries (sometimes less) for each non-cached page view on drupal.org.  Derived from ccourtne's patch.
