- Added support for 403 handling.  Patch by JonBob.  As a side benefit,
  administrators will be able to define a custom 403 page, just as they
  can define 404 pages now.

  This needs to be documented in the "Changes since / migrating to ..."
  pages.

  configurable!  Menu items can be disabled, repositioned, added and
  so on.

  Upgrading to requires you to run update.php.

  This functionality depricates some of the 'navigation modules' in the
  contributions repository.  Furthermore, modules can now 'suggest'
  menu items and site adminstrators can choose to enable them.  Modules
  in the contributions repository should try to take advantage of this.

- Rewrote the profile module:

   + Added a 'created' field to the users table and renamed the 'timestamp'
     fied to 'changed' (cfr. node table).  Update.php will try to determine
     a 'created' timestamp for existing users.

   + The profile module no longer uses serialized data but has its own set
     of tables.  Known existing profile data is migrated by these new tables.
       TODO: migrate the birthday field.

   + The profile fields can be grouped, and within each group, profile fields
     can be sorted using weights.

   + The profile pages can be themed.

   + The profiles can be browsed based on certain properties/settings.

   + Change the _user hook: (i) 'private_view' and 'public_view' are merged
     into 'view' as there are no private fields and (ii) 'edit_form' has
     been renamed to 'edit'.

   + Avatar handling has been refactored and is now part of the user module.
     The users table has a dedicted 'picture' field.

   + Simplified the way themes should use display/visualize pictures or
     avatars.

   + Made it possible for administrators to replace or delete avatars.

   + ...

  I hope this make for a good base to build on collectively.
