- Patch #45845 by jaza/chx: set default value of weight-selectors to 0 for consistency with Drupal 4.6.

- #40515: Ensure UTF-8 character set on the database side (and include upgrade path for incorrectly set up databases)

- #41940: Locale string search broken in some cases (and remove some inappropriate db_escape_string() usage)
- #43491: Missing drupal_goto() after saving settings

- Patch 42498 by m3avrck: unified cron-trackers and added a section that lets you figure out whether cron is running (usability improvement).

- Patch #40524 by drumm: made sure that visiting the admin/modules page does not break your setup if you haven't run udpate.php yet.

  - When user #1 creates an account (we can assume this happens only once), system.module's schema version is set to the latest availiable.
  - system_get_files_database() now includes a 'schema_version' child of each file object.
  - That new information is re-saved when Drupal re-populates the system table.
  - An array of newly-enabled modules is built, module_list() is reloaded, and the schema versions of each newly-enabled module are set to the most recent availiable. If the schema version is already set (presumably from a previous installation) it is not changed.

  If your module uses variable_get('file_directory_temp', ...) or
  variable_get('file_directory_path', ...) please update it to use the new
  API.

  A list of affected modules is available at http://drupal.org/node/26249#comment-54194.

  Deprecates the primary_links module.

  This patch was much needed.  Thanks Richards!

  NOTE: if some themers could investigate if there is room for improvement
        with regard to theming, that would be awesome.

- Patch #26249 by crunchywelch, Junyor: use upload_tmp_dir as default temporary directory.  Fixed file problems on Windows NT systems.
