the <FORM> tag.
- Added form_file($name) for file uploads. (requires form() to be called with
  $options='ENCRYPT="multipart/form-data"'.)

- Removed the "history"-field from the SQL table "users" and added
  this information to the "users"-field in both nodes and comments.
  This database/table change reduces the number of SQL queries and
  makes Drupal scale better where a lot of voting/moderation takes
  place.  Last but not least it can be considered a new and better
  foundation for future moderation metrics / algorithms.  In other
  words: it is plain better.

    --> oops, all voting/moderation results will be lost!
    --> requires database update, see "2.00-to-x.xx.sql"!

- Updated database/database.mysql

- Fixed bug in path_uri()

- Created 2 new functions:
    + path_uri(): returns the fully-qualified URI of your drupal site.
    + path_img(): returns the image directory or http://image-server.com/
                  in case you prefer to load-balance bandwidth usage.

  Replaced all occurences of the variable "site_url" with path_uri()
  and removed "site_url" from "setting.module".

- Drastically simplified the node_save() API, which should make the
  node-forms more secure.  Updated "story.module", "book.module",
  "forum.module", "page.module" and "node.module" to reflect this
  change.  This is needs more testing so hit it, beat it, tease it.

- Fixed an occasional glitch in the configuration file loading logic.

- Made "queue.module" display an informative notice when an anonymous
  user tries accessing the moderation queue.

- Updated the hard-coded information in drupal.module a bit.

- Renamed "hostname.conf" to "setting.php" (cfr. "setting.module").
  Note that - when upgrading - you have to rename all your existing
  configuration files to reflect this change:

     yourdomain.com.conf -> yourdomain.com.php

  By default, i.e. if no configuration file is found, setting.php
  will be used instead.  Using the ".php"-extension will fix most
  configuration/security issues with .htaccess-files ...

- Removed some dead code from forum.module.

- 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?

- Uhm.  Rewrote the module system: less code clutter, less run-time
  overhead, and a lot better (simpler) module API.  I had to edit a
  LOT of files to get this refactored but I'm sure it was worth the
  effort.

  For module writers / maintainers:

  None of the hooks changed, so 95% of the old modules should still
  work.  You can remove some code instead as "$module = array(...)"
  just became obsolete.  Also - and let's thank God for this - the
  global variable "$repository" has been eliminated to avoid modules
  relying on, and poking in drupal's internal data structures.  Take
  a look at include/module.inc to investigate the details/changes.

- Improved design of the content modules "story", "book" and "node"
  (to aid smooth integration of permisions + moderate.module).  I'm
  still working on the permissions but I got side tracked for which
  I "Oops!".

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?

CHANGES:

- Added new form_* functions to common.inc, used for building
  forms: it should improve 'stability' (no form typos, every-
  thing properly escaped/unescaped) and should help providing
  a very consistent user interface (wrt forms).

- Adjusted node.module to use the new form functions.
  (Can be used as an example.)

- Adjusted book.module to use the new form functions.
  (Can be used as an example.)

- Merged function.inc into common.inc!

- Slowly removing all global $status and $rstatus variables:
  use node_status() instead.

TODO:

- Apart from implementing the permission system, I'll spend
  some time updating most modules today and tomorrow to use
  the new form functions.

- Modified conf_init() to use default.conf if nothing else can be found.
- Added some comments to hostname.conf to reflect the changes and
  provide more information on how to rename the file.

TODO
- The Drupal handbook should be updated once the CVS version is released.
- Should try to remove the remainder of info from hostname.conf and go for a
  completely web-based administration if possible.
- Does having all the settings in a SQL database make Drupal add more
  overhead than including a .conf file? If nobody knows for sure some tests
  should be done. If yes, concider having the admin interface generate an
  include file in addition to saving to the database.

- a few changes which might help overcome Jeroen's redeclartion problem
  (or might not)

- improved settings.module and fixed a few quircks along the way:
   + added "reset to defaults"
   + added "development settings" - for drupal development only
   + made a few things more consistent

- fixed bug in common.inc: throttle()
- streamlined method invocation in node.inc
- added node_status() function to modules
- added NEW (mostly static) page module
- added NEW settings module

A lot of small changes (search-n-replace) make a big commit:

  - fixed update bug in book.module
  - provide a log message when both adding and updating book pages
  - all configurable variables are now accessed through "variable_get()":
  - rewrote watchdog and submission throttle and removed watchdog.inc
  - improved robustness of sections.inc
  - imporved story.module
  - updated ./database/database.sql

- a bunch of various updates

- 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

- update

- fixed "AdNewz.com" vs "ADNEWS.COM" glitch reported by Peter Beckman

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

- added fine-grained user permission system which allows us to give
  certain users access to specific administration sections only.
    Ex. a FAQ maintainer can only edit the FAQ, and members of an
        "editorial board" can only edit comments, diaries and
         stories, ..
- code review => rewrote include/user.inc which is much easier now
- fixed 4 small bugs

- More updates on the translation support

- added a "search framework" which allows for easy searching
  (to be continued)
- tidyied up some existing code

- added port + directory patch for loading configuration files

- added initial locale support as discussed on the mailing list

I know, I know, it is getting nasty lately but I have another large commit after nothing but code.

This time I redid the "category"-stuff.  Categories - from now on called sections - are now maintained from the admin pages, can have their own post, dump and timout thresholds as discussed earlier (some weeks ago).  By tomorrow evening users will be able to enable or disable section as well - i.e. to customize the content of drop.org.

- here a bunch of changes to make "drupal" (for now) work with PHP 4.0.4
- tidied up some of the code and mainly working on the documentation

Surprise, surprise.  After nothing but code, a large batch of changes:
 - removed droplets
 - added (optional) admin_blocks module
 - added (optional) affiliate module
 - added (optional) about module (only placeholder, under construction)
 - fixed some tiny bugs (e.g. quote bug in search.php)
 - partionally rewrote some modules to be big, bad and better
 - partionally rewrote some modules to be more uniform
 - added GNU GPL license to CVS

Also:
 - installed PHP 4.0.4 on my localhost and now working
   towards PHP 4.0.4 compatibility.
 - I think I'll baptize the engine "drupal".  If you have a
   better idea, try convincing me ASAP.

Todo:
 - more testing (also with PHP 4.0.4)
 - make "project"-module: download, info, blah blah
 - complete documentation

Yet another large batch of updates:

 - I rearranged some of the code and clean-up some of the mess.

 - Added "blocks" which can be user defined/controlled: check
   to see.  The positioning of blocks is rather basic for the
   moment, so I'm all open for input on that.

- intermediate commit: some bugfixes, changes and some drastic
  changes to block and module support

- large batch of updates

- large batch of updated files featuring various changes: big, small and
  new stuff!

- fixed bug in backend.inc
  (check http://www.drop.org/backend.php)
- update theme.inc to use widget.inc
- small enhancements to function.inc

A bunch of internal changes:
 - better organisation of include files
 - renamed a few function to make more sense
 - small bugfix in the user account registration
 - ...

structure changes, some sections are expanded.  Take a look at the source
code or ask me to elaborate on certain issues/topics.
