- 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 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.

Extremely large commit:

- Fixed tiny quote problem in account.php.

- Fixed tiny bug in comment.inc.

- Fixed tiny bug in comment.module.

- Fixed tiny bug in meta.module.

- Simplified user_access() API.

- Rewrote link system: still needs fine-tuning and testing so don't
  upgrade if you are running a production site. ;)

  Updated all modules and themes to reflect this change.  All other
  themes and modules need updating too!

- Added locale documentation: written by Gerhard, revised by Dries.

- Added import documentation: written by Gerhard, revised by Dries.

TODO:

- A quick introduction on content syndication needs to be written
  for import.module.

- If some one who is native English could go over the these text,
  please do.

- Added a brand-new access.module which allows you to manage 'roles'
  (groups) and 'permissions' ... (inspired by Zope's system).

    + Once installed, click the help-link for more information.

    + See updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql for the SQL updates.

- Modified loads of code to use our new access.module.  The system
  still has to mature though: new permissions have to be added and
  existing permissions need stream-lining.  Awaiting suggestions.

- As a direct result of the new access system, I had to rewrite the
  way the top-level links in admin.php are rendered and displayed,
  and xhtml-ified admin.php while I was at it.

TODO

- Home-brewed modules need updating, home-brewed themes not.
  (Examples: file.module, trip_link.module)

- As soon we *finished* the refactoring of the user system (KJ has
  been working on this refactoring already) we should consider to
  embed this role and permission code into account.module ...

  '=' instead of ';' and ':'.  It is considered to be more readable.
  --> A _first_ step towards and improved index.module.  Stay tuned
      for more.

  + Important:
     If you update from CVS - apply the queries in 2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

- Changed all 'attribute' to 'attributes'.

  + Important:
     If you update from CVS - apply the queries in 2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

  + Important:
     This might require to ieni-wieni small update to your custom
     themes and/or node-related modules:
      - themes: node_index($node->attribute) -> node_index($node)
      - node modules: attribute -> attributes

- Added a 'remove items' feature to reset a feed.

- Slightly improved the parsing algorithm; in some cases, were tags
  have attributes, things went wrong.  We ignore attributes for now
  as we don't do anything with those.

  Example:
    <item rdf:about="http://foo.com"></item>
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Increased the maximum length of the 'link'-textfield.

- Typo: 'timstamp' should have been 'timestamp'.

- Fixed bug in cron function of import.module: headlines did not expire
  properly.

- Removed reference to backend.class.

- Renamed syndication.module to import.module.

- Removed headline.module: it became obsolete.

- Removed backend.class: it became obsolete.

- Added export.module.

  For now, you can use:
    1. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rss
    2. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rdf

- Renamed export to export.php.

  For now, you can use:
    1. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rss
    2. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rdf

  Renaming this file has main 3 advantages:
    1. We no longer rely on .htaccess for being able to export.
    2. It is more conform with the general naming conventions.
    3. It removes a pseudo-hack with formatting the URI.

- Made import.module export blocks with feeds.

- Various small improvements: no bug fixes though but I moved a few things
  around.
