- Patch 20910 by chx: centralize print theme page.

- Patch #19965 by Robin Monks: fixed problem with duplicate block titles.

- Modified patch #19694 by chx: makes sure that block.module deals by default only with regions 0 and 1 as it does now but lets you use block_list with any region you define. This opens many possibilites. You may do a multi region module, with your admin UI using the blocks table as storage and the block_list matcher. Or you may do a sections module using the block matcher without cluttering the current blocks list.

- Patch #18382 by Neil: usability improvement: organized the blocks on the block administration page by region. (I wanted to do that myself!)

- Patch #16074 by Andre Molnar: add configuration option to show blocks only on pages of certain node type.
