- node.module:

   + Changed node_form() to use good ol' tables instead of div/CSS-tags.

   + Revised the "revision API": I think we have both an easy and powerful
     API now that should make everyone happy.

   + Improved the usability of the rollback functionality a bit.

   + Removed the "view node" link from the "node overview" page in the
     admin section and added a "delete node" link instead.

   + Added a few missing translations; there might be missing more
     translations though.

- book.module:

   + Made the book module use the "revision API" instead of having it poke
     and use the innards and underlying details of the revision system.

- queue.module:

   + Made the queue module use the improved revision number.

- module.inc:
   + Applied Moshe's patch: added more arguments to module_invoke()

- mail-to-sql.pl:
   + Added support for more header fields and for folded fields

Notes:

- no database updates required

- Another batch of updates.  The most important bit is that the moderation
  queue should be functional again.  It's not ready yet but I'll be tuning
  it for the next two evenings or so.

- node system:
    + fixed a typo in node_load(): it should be faster now

- book module:
    + removed the functions book_parent() and book_parent_query() as
      they were no longer needed.  Gerhard & co: this should fix the
      occasional SQL errors you get, and should improve performance.

    + made the "next", "previous" and "up" links work correctly ...

    + XHTML-ified the code

    + added some missing translations

  I'm working on the book module now to make it possible to update book
  pages.

- Made the node forms support "help texts": it is not possible to configure
  Drupal to display submission guidelines, or any other kind of explanation
  such as "NO TEST POSTS", for example.

- Added node versioning: it is possible to create revisions, to view old
  revisions and to roll-back to older revisions.  You'll need to apply a
  SQL update.

  I'm going to work on the book module now, so I might be changing a few
  things to enable collaborative, moderated revisions - but feel free to
  send some first feedback, if you like.

- Added some configuration options which can be used to set the minimum
  number of words a blog/story should consist of.  Hopefully this will
  be usefull to stop the (almost empty) test blogs.

- Various improvements:
   + Fine-tuned new node permission system.
   + Fine-tuned the functions in node.inc.
   + Fine-tuned some forms.
   + XHTML-ified some code.

- Added error handling support to the <node>_form hook.

- Another batch of updates/improvements:

   + introduced basic node permissions ("create", "delete", "update" and
     "view") at the node level: it's up to the "<$node->type>_module" to
     hide gory details (if any).

   + made the "blog it"-feature in the blog and import module work with
     the new node system, in specific with the new centralized forms.

   + made it possible to update blogs.

   + made the page module work with the new node system.

   + various smaller improvements.

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

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

- Removed a node's link ID (lid) as discussed on the mailing list.  See
  'updates/3.00-to.x.xx.mysql' for the required MySQL updates.

- Renamed some "author" fields to "uid" fields for sake of consistency.

- Fixed the coding style of some PHP files.

- Fixed the moderation queue (fairly untested though).

- Re-introduced the temporary SQL table in _node_get().

- Added a missing 'auto_increment' to 'updates/3.00-to-x.xx.mysql'.

- added sequence tables

- fixed bug in node_page()

- fixed bug in db_result()

- fixed rss glitch

- PEAR-ification of Drupal by claw: you can now host Drupal on a wide
  range of databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and others.

  For additional information and an 'how to upgrade', check the mails
  sent to the mailing list.

- fixed 2 bugs that where introduced by moving the index.php to node_page()
  in node.module.

- Improved search architecture derived from Axel's new search patches.
  (There is room for improvement so let's go from these ... and build
  on them.)

- Removed some $status's by calls to node_status().

- bugfix: renamed 'conf_default' to 'system_default'

- fixed small glitch in node_del()

- fixed small glitch in comment_del()

- changed the API of the form() function.  The first parameter, the
  "action"-attribute in the <form>-tag has been made optional.  By
  default, it will be set to "$REQUEST_URI".

  Why? Because in 98% of the cases we would do:

    global $REQUEST_URI;
    $form = form($REQUEST_URI, $form_content);

  while we can do:

    $form = form($form_content);

  now.

  Update your modules (and sorry for the inconvenience)!

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

- Enhancement: added better help and translations to node.module.
  (patch by Alex)

- fixed book.module not generating next/prev links properly
- re-added default node options to the admin page
- fixed a potential bug in node.php. Nodes with same titles were confusing it
  at times, should fix the bug reported by Gerhard Killesreiter.

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

- bugfix #1: fixed the line that accidentically got cut off by incorrectly
  applying a patch.  Mea culpa.
  (reported by Axel)

- bugfix #2: incorrect deactivation of the delete link in node_links().
  (patch by Axel)

- improvement: added confirmation page upon deletion of a node ("Do you
  really want to delete this node?"), and removed the old and confusing
  "node has to be blocked first".
  (patch by Axel)

    + renamed '$lang' to '$language' (reported by Nick).

- added a links option so pages can be displayed on the links of the site in an
  easy way. (Requires an SQL update.)
- made HTML and text type pages be $theme->box()ed again.
- made the page body hidden in a comment during editing, in case things
  crash you should still be able to retrieve your code. Will keep working on a
  better solution.
