- 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.

- Comment setting improvements: updated the form descriptions, reorganized the
  settings in groups, fixed a warning, rewrote the comments per page settings,
  etc.

- Patch 4859: new drupal_unpack() consolidates duplicate code and makes it
  easy to show avatars next to nodes and comments.  Patch by Moshe.  As a
  showcase, maybe Xtemplate should have an option to enable/disable avatars?

- Patch #4924: made the comment form themeable.  Patch by Goba.

- Updated code to use new semantics of url() and l().

- Fixed the title and breadcrumb trail of the comment delete page, added
missing cache flush, improved usability and made it so that when you delete
a comment replies are deleted as well.

- Added 'delete comment' links to the comments on node pages.  Hopefully
this will make it easier to maintain old threads such as those attached to
the book pages on drupal.org.

- Comment module maintenance: added missing t() functions and improved
consistency of the calls to drupal_set_message(), used radio buttons instead
of a selection box.

- Updated the calls to menu() to use MENU_HIDE instead of 1

- Replaced the tables used to structure the threaded comment view by div's.
  Patch by Goba.

- Bugfix: the location of comment submission form was incorrect.  Patch by
  Bart.

  + removes the lots of pagers and indirect pager themeing
  + add the theme_pager() function, which should be called as
    theme("pager", ...) to get a pager.

- Tidied up the DoxyGen comments.  Patch by Kjartan.

- Patch 185 by Ax: fixed undefined variables, synchronized xtemplate with sf, etc.

- Introduced a drupal_set_message() and drupal_get_message() function.

  Contributed themes and modules need to be updated:
   - modules: status() is no more; use drupal_set_message() instead.
   - themes: use drupal_get_message() to check for status messages and
     visualize them.

- Committed phase 4 of JonBob's menu system changes.

- Committed phase 3 of JonBob's menu changes.  Adds an API for modules to
  define titles and breadcrumbs for their pages, and updates the theme
  system to display them.

- Patch by JonBob:

  Phase 2 of the menu system integration project. This unifies the interface
  used by admin and non-admin pages, and deprecates the _page hook in favor of
  explicit callbacks from menu(). Breadcrumbs, titles, and help text go away
  as a result of this patch; they will return in the phase 3 patch, printed
  by the theme.

- Made the comment module themable.  Patch by CodeMonkeyX.

- table(...) -> theme("table", ...)

- Fixed bug #4080: comments shown against wrong node.  Reported by chrish.

- Committed stage 2 of the theme system improvements!  Patch by CodeMonkeyX.

- Usability improvement: replaced many selection boxes by radio buttons.
  Patch by Stefan.

- Usability improvement: replaced many selection boxes by radio buttons.
  Patch by Stefan.

- Usability improvement: introduced a form_group() function and updated
  the node and comment module to take advantage of it.  Patch #149 by
  Eric Farris.
