- Fixed a typo in the PostgreSQL database scheme.  Patch by Michael Frankowski.

- Fixed a typo in the MSSQL database scheme.  Patch by Michael Frankowski.

- Removed dependency on "register_globals = on"!  Patches by Michael Frankowski.

  Notes:

  + Updated the patches to use $foo["bar"] instead of $foo['bar'].
  + Updated the INSTALL and CHANGELOG files as well.

- Tiny improvement to the "./scripts/code-clean.sh" script.

- Fixed some PHP "notices".

- Fixed "undefined index/variable" warning.  Patch by Ax.

- Everything is using theme("function") now instead of $theme->function().

- Clean URL patch.

- Added a check for register_globals.

- Made Drupal report an error when magic_quotes are disabled.

- Removed dead code.

Committing Changes by Moshe Weitzman:
- admin_user_account(), user_edit(), and user_view() no longer have any
  hard code for authentication modules. instead authentication modules
  implement the _user hook.
- fixed a couple 'help' typos.
- linked the 'REGISTER' text in the login block to the register page.
  this page now advertises DA better if site employs DA.
- admins may now edit everything about a user account (was a feature
  request).
- user #1 may now login immediately, in addition to receiving his
  password via email.

Other changes:
- modules and themes are now enabled/disabled in the administrative /
  settings / modules | themes pages. Requires SQL update and things must
  be enabled before your site returns to normal. TODO: enable all
  functionality. (For now just do UPDATE system SET status = 1;)
- removed $themes from conf.php.
- added a $theme->system() function where theme can specify settings.
  All themes in the Drupal CVS have been updated to use this.
- added _system hook to modules. TODO: update modules to use this.
- changed strange use of sprintf to the usual strtr. The disadvantage of
  sprintf is that it requires translations to keep the string order,
  which may not be possible in all languages.
- an invalid/nonexisting theme in a user profile will now fallback to the
  BaseTheme instead of crashing.

  more in tune with the rest of Drupal.

- A large batch of updates, amongst them a rewritten node system.  More
  information available on the mailing list.

  variables.

  Example: set site_frontpage to "node" and site_frontpage_extra to
  "$meta = 'news'" and only nodes with that meta tag will be displayed on
   your main page.

  This requires some internal knowledge of how the various modules work
  and what settings can be passed to <module>_page() functions.

  easier. Also changed the <? tag to <?php in some cases.

- a batch of updates, including some experimental changes to the moderation
  of comments and nodes.

- made the front page of the system configurable. Now any <node>_page()
  can be set as the default page. Default is node_page().

- Fixed 2 typos in the user module.  Thanks Axel and Remco.
- Applied (modified versions of) Alexander's patches on the development
  branch.

- Fixed typo.

Extremely large commit:

- Fixed tiny quote problem in account.php.

- Fixed tiny bug in comment.inc.

- Fixed tiny bug in comment.module.

- Fixed tiny bug in meta.module.

- Simplified user_access() API.

- Rewrote link system: still needs fine-tuning and testing so don't
  upgrade if you are running a production site. ;)

  Updated all modules and themes to reflect this change.  All other
  themes and modules need updating too!

- Added a brand-new access.module which allows you to manage 'roles'
  (groups) and 'permissions' ... (inspired by Zope's system).

    + Once installed, click the help-link for more information.

    + See updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql for the SQL updates.

- Modified loads of code to use our new access.module.  The system
  still has to mature though: new permissions have to be added and
  existing permissions need stream-lining.  Awaiting suggestions.

- As a direct result of the new access system, I had to rewrite the
  way the top-level links in admin.php are rendered and displayed,
  and xhtml-ified admin.php while I was at it.

TODO

- Home-brewed modules need updating, home-brewed themes not.
  (Examples: file.module, trip_link.module)

- As soon we *finished* the refactoring of the user system (KJ has
  been working on this refactoring already) we should consider to
  embed this role and permission code into account.module ...

Oops, a rather large commit:

- Changed meta.module, node.module and index.php to use comma-seperated
  lists of attributes rather then "foo=a,bar=b" lists.  This makes it a
  a lot easier to use both modules.  In addition, error handling can be
  discarded as it can't be made any simpler, really ...

  It fits rather nicely in Drupal's design so I'm getting more and more
  happy with this meta.module (but we are not 100% there yet).

- node.module, node.inc:

   + Improved the node-related admin interface so that navigating back
     and forth the administrative menus is made both easier and faster.

   + Removed some redundant database fields from the node table.  See
     2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

   + Added 2 news hooks called "node_insert" and "node_update".  Just
     like this is the case with the existing hook "node_delete" these
     new hooks will automatically get called when a node has been
     inserted or udpated.  Note that this is an optional call-back that
     only needs to be implemented when required.  With the addition of
     these two hooks, the node mechanism (version 1) is pretty well
     completed.

- watchdog.module:
   + Fixed bug whit the 'regular messages' query in the watchdog.module.

- book.module:
   + Fixed bug in book.module: the 'parent' was not set properly when
     updating a book page.
   + Made it so that older versions of a book page are automatically
     reactived upon deletion of the most recent version, i.e. when
     doing a version roll-back.

- comment.inc:
   + Undid Remco's patch to comment.inc; it does not work in some cases.


- conf.module:
   + Fine-tuned some of the options in conf.module a bit.

- marvin.theme:
   + Visual changes to make it look better on Windows browsers.  Mind
     to give some feedback on this?
   + Fixed 3 HTML typos/bugs.
   + XHTML-ified the theme at a best effort basis; I didn't carry the
     XHTML specification with me.
   + Made use of the theme_slogan variable to display the site's slogan.
   + As soon we have at least one valid XHTML theme we can wonder on how
     to integrate other XML namespaces (cfr. MathML story at drop.org).

- database.mysql:
   + Updated database.mysql so that it contains all the latest "database
     patches".

- Made index.php work with new meta.module.

This a rather large commit that needs a lot of fine-tuning.  If you
update, you'll break your site as you need switching from structure
to index.module: so this can be considered an intermediate commit.

If you upgrade, and you are welcome to, just create a collection
called "section" (for now) and assign your nodes some attributes
in the described format.

Feedback and bugreports are welcomed.  Questions will be answered.

CHANGES:

- comment system:
   + when replying to a node (rather then to a comment), that
     node is displayed above the reply form.
   + when replying to a comment (rather then to a node), that
     comment is displayd above the reply form.

- removed structure.inc, removed structure.module.

- node.inc:
   + added 2 new node functions called 'node_attribute_edit()' and
     'node_attribute_save()' used to 'hook in' any indexing system
    including your home-brewed stuff if you'd want to.  Currently,
    index.module is the facto default index system.

    See story.module for usage.

- book.module, story.module, poll.module, page.module, forum.module:
   + added preview functionality to administration section (via node
     module).
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

- moderate.module:
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

- book.module, story.module, page.module, forum.module:
   + increased the sizes of some textareas.

- submit.php:
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

- marvin.theme:
   + removed dead code: function story() was depricated.

- unconed.theme:
   + removed hardcoded references to drop.org.

- marvin.theme, unconed.theme, jeroen.theme, yaroon.theme, example.theme:
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

TODO:

- file.module, trip_link.module:
   + update preview functionality:
       see story.module for example.
   + remove references to 'cid' and 'tid', use 'attribute' instead:
       see story.module for example.

- extend and build upon index.module as well as making it configurable

- Moved most of the options in structure.module to node.module.  The
  structure.module either needs work, or replacement by index.module:
  see "admin > node > node settings".

  It will do for now and it can always made better when we can think
  of a better solution; it is the best I could think of.   Now what?
  index.module or structure.module?  I'm currently pro index.module.

- Drastically simplified "variable.inc".

- Removed most dependecies on structure.module from all content related
  modules.  Thus making our modules more modular.  ;)

- Fixed calculation glitch in queue.module.

- Fixed potential function name clash/conflict in rating.module, and
  simplified some code on my way.

- Started removing all global variables $status and $rstatus.  Global
  variables are "yucky" so in near future, we will replace all global
  $status variables by a call to node_status().  Originally, $status
  was only introduced as a temporary hack and nothing is as permanent
  as a temporary hack so I took it out when still possible.

- Changed the watchdog messages a bit.

- Improved node_get() so that it will try to skip one additional query
  if possible (ie. to reduce the number of queries).

- Automatically removed tabs and trailing spaces from the poll.module.

- Added the "delete" hook for node-modules. When called, a module should do additional clean-up if necessary.

- Updated all node-modules

- Redid settings.module and even renamed it to conf.module.
    * Settings are now grouped in basic categories like "system
      settings", "module settings" and "filters".
  * Added new settings to make Drupal easier to configure and
  to make some aspects like the watchdog scale better.

- Renamed includes/settings.php to includes/conf.php.

- Added filter support to conf.module and introduced filter hooks so
  modules can implement and export new filters.  Example filters are
  an HTML filter (implemented), a profanity filter, an url converter,
  ASCII smileys to images filter and so on ...

- Reworked the check_* functions: user contributed content/input is
  only verified and filtered once in its lifespan.

NOTES

- Altough this is a large commit, no database changes are required.

- Made the main page display sub-topics when a specific topic
  is selected.

- Made theme_link() less "hard coded", we still have to make
  it fully configurable though.

- Fixed glitch in story submission: the warning messages were
  not displayed.

- Tidied up block.module a bit.

- Added custom PHP error handler to track down warnings and errors.
  (Jeroen: let's sit back and wait until that warning bites again.)

- Simplified drupal.module.  We still need a feature list, anyone?

Welp.  Large commit ahead.

CHANGES:

- Added "read" and "write" permissions into drupal but removed
  it again because - when finished after 3 hours of work - it
  was considered nothing but added complexity that didn't buy
  us anything. :I

  (I'll explain this in detail on the mailing list, I guess.)

- Added a very simple help.module to group all available
  documentation on a single page.

- Fixed bug in node_control(), book.module: UnConeD forgot to
  global $user when updating the combobox code.

- Removed static wishlist.module: in future, the wishlist can
  be maintained as a page in our collaborative book.

- Revised most of settings.module: tidied up the code and the
  descriptions to accompany the settings and introduced a new
  "default maximum number of nodes to display on the main page"
  variable.

- Revised most of comment.module: the administration interface
  looks better now, integrated node permissions, and -finally-
  made it possible to delete comments.

- Polished on:
   + account.module
   + structure.module
   + locale.module
   + module.module
   + forum.module

- Form-ified:
   + account.php
   + account.module
   + setting.module
   + cvs.module
   + submit.php
   + comment.module
   + forum.module
   + book.module
   + page.module
   + locale.module

- Updated CHANGELOG

INFO:

- Designed a "generic tracker system with optional backends"
  on paper.  The idea is to allow registered users to hot-list
  certain topics, individual nodes or threads (comments) and
  to "plug-in" output backends like - for instance - an e-mail
  digest.  The design requires "intelligent blocks" though.


TODO:

- I want to tidy up the headline.module and backend.class as
  well as merge in headlineRSS10.module.  Julian spent quite
  some time working on headline.module but I'm not sure what
  he changed and whether he'd contribute it back?

- Addition: added a "promote" field to the node table, which
  makes "promoting nodes" to the main page possible.  Stories
  and reviews could be promoted by default, but - on accasion
  a good book entry could be manually promoted too.  Thus all
  existing content types can be shown on the main page, not
  just stories.

  Requires a SQL update, see 2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

- Addition: implemented "auto-post new submissions" feature
  to disable or by-pass the moderation queue in addition to
  "moderate new submissions".

  TODO: admin moderation versus registered user moderation.

- Addition: added category and topic support to page.module.

Another big update so please read this carefully because there is important information hidden in it.

Made it so that we can disable/enable comments on a category by category basis. In order to accomplish this I had to make a few (*temporary*) changes.

I moved all comment code from the "module level" (eg. story.module) to the "node level".  It was nothing but the logical next step in nodifying drupal.  This enables us to add comments to all existing content types including book entries.  But also for book entries, this to can be toggled on and off. :-)

Moreover module writers don't have to worry about the complex comment logic: it is "abstracted" away.  This implies that story.module got smaller, faster and easier to comprehend. :-)

In order to accomplish this, I had to update ALL THEMES, which I did - and on my way I updated Goofy, Oranzh and UnConeD - with the previous changes.  All themes are up-to-date now!  I also had to remove the [ reply to this story ] links, and temporally re-introcuded the "Add comment" button in the "Comment control".  Tempora lly that is, UnConeD. ;)

I plan to upgrade drop.org either tommorow or wednesday so test away if you have some time to kill. ;)

Oh, I also fixed a few bugs and made various small improvements.

Large commit, read it carefully, and make the required changes to
your theme:

- corrected some missing translations in story.module.  Oops!
- grealty simplified the "moderation threshold mechanism"(tm) so
  that module writers don't have to worry about this.  As a result
  story.module and book.module became a bit smaller and easier to
  grasp.
- greatly simplified new "category" and "topic" code which is soon
  going to replace the "section" code.  Needs more work though so
  hang on thight.
- includes/section.inc and modules/section.module are replaced by
  includes/structure.module and modules/structure.module.
- beautified example.theme a bit without adding HTML complexity:
  it is a good example but still useful as a theme
- made theme example use "categories" and "topics"
    --> TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND UPDATE YOUR THEME
- made theme marvin use "categories" and "topics"
    --> TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND UPDATE YOUR THEME
- added 2 new "story listings" to administrator interface of
  story.module to verify story integrity.
- optimized comment table a bit (work in progress)

- improved submit.php:
  it now uses the new category code, incl content bindings.
  You can setup different "categories" which map on a content
  type.  Example:
    review   -> review.module
    article  -> story.module
    column   -> story.module
    announc. -> story.module
    addons   -> file.module
    themes   -> file.module
- "generalised" story.module and book.module's output.
- fixed bug in includes/timer.inc
- fixed glitch in theme example.theme: it said "$how by" but
  the variable $how has never been declared.
- added "drupal development settings" to display some timings
- more work on the categories/topics -> does NOT work yet

- fixed issue depricated call-by-reference issues
- fixed small visual glitch in includes/function.inc
- changed SQL tables around a bit to be more consistent
  (result: small changes to a lot of different files)
- improved robustness of includes/node.inc
- improved output of cron.module
- improved output of node.php

- large commit of everything else that has been queued in my backlog:
  it's not 100% stable yet

- nodified index.php:
    the index page will only display stories for now but this will/can
    change in the near future
- all other files now thinks in terms of nodes, rather then stories

- applied David Norman's patch to turn all <?'s into fully qualified
  <?php's.

- some important changes to our theme API which can be summerized as:

     abstract() + article() = story()

  abstract() and article() have been merged into a new function story()
  which looks like:

  function story($story_object, $reply) {
    if (!reply) {
       // full story
    }
    else {
       // main page version / abstract
    }
  }

  This should allow you to "compress" your theme as abstract() and
  article() tended to be 98% identical.

  => I didn't really merge your themes so I leave it up to *you* to
     improved the code!!! Do it ASAP as we release drupal 2.00 in 7
     days.

  In future we'll have similar functions for other content types as
  for example:

     review($review, $reply);
     enquete($enquete, $reply);
     ...

A rather large and important update:

revised most of the SQL queries and tried to make drupal as secure as possible (while trying to avoid redundant/duplicate checks).  For drupal's sake, try to screw something up.  See the mail about PHPNuke being hacked appr. 6 days ago.  The one who finds a problem is rewarded a beer (and I'm willing to ship it to Norway if required).  I beg you to be evil.  Try dumping a table a la "http://localhost/index.php?date=77778;DROP TABLE users" or something. ;)
