- Updated the CHANGELOG; added a few notes about Drupal 3.0.1

- 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.

- updated the CHANGELOG

- Fixed translation bugs (reported by Alexander Schwartz)

- updated the CHANGELOG (on a sunny sunday morning)

- improved the search system by making it context sensitive

- Updated the CHANGELOG

- Updated CHANGELOG at a best effort basis.  If someone would like to go
  over it to check for typos, missing information or confusing entries -
  don't hesitate to do so.

- Updated CHANGELOG

- Updated CHANGELOG a bit.

- Updated CHANGELOG

- Small visual update to watchdog.module.

- Updated CHANGELOG

- Added meta.module, an improved index.module that allows you to
  associate different collections - think "combobox" here - with
  different content types, all hardcoded references to "section"
  have been removed and the admin-friendliness of the meta admin
  section has been slightly improved.

  I'll keep working on it during the weekend - if time allows me
  to.  Moreover, I'll focus on the usability/user-friendlines of
  the meta admin section as well as graceful input-checking, and
  error-handling.

  Requires an SQL update, see updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

  Index.module will be removed, or meta.module will be renamed as
  soon we can ditch one of them.  For now, having both coexist is
  not going to harm your setup and is useful to make a comparison
  and / or to migrate from index.module to meta.module.

  Index.module is de-coupled form the rest of the system so you
  will have to use meta.module after having upgraded.  You have
  been warned.

- Updated CHANGELOG.

- Updated CHANGELOG

- 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.

- Fixed small glitch in check_preview().

- Updated CHANGELOG.

CHANGES:

- Rewrote the cron system.  Removed cron.module and moved all cron
  related options to settings.module.  Cron was a confusing thing:
  it has been made simpler both in terms of code and configuration.

   + You had to rehash your modules to make the cron show up in
     the list.  This is no longer required.

   + You couldn't tell what cron "watchdog" or cron "story" were
     up to.  Instead, we now display a clear description message
     for every cron involved.

   + The user interface of setting.module - and the admin section
     in general, looks a bit ackward but I couldn't care less and
     don't want to see this improve at the time being.

- Improved setting.module:
   + Now uses variable_set().
   + Added some help and documentaition on how to setup cron.

- Improved ./export.

- Updated CHANGELOG.


TODO:

- I'm now going to look into UnConeD's question with regard to
  check_output() and $theme->node(), as well as the filter and
  macro stuff.  I'll probably be fine-tuning setting.module a
  bit more on my way.

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?

- Updated CHANGELOG and fixed a few typos.

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

- various smaller improvements

- fixed bug in diary module

Commiting my work of last Sunday:

 - removed ban.inc and ban.module and integrated it in account.module
   under the name "access control" --> the ban code was not really up
   to standard so this has now been dealt with.  This refactoring and
   reintegration cuts down the code size with 100 lines too.  :-)
   (The ban.module code was really old and it showed.)

 - added node.module and made the other modules reuse some of this
   code --> cut down the code size of modules by at least 100 lines
   and adds stability.

 - added a status() function to admin.php to display a conform status
   message where appropriate.  See admin.php for usage.

 - removed $theme->control() and made comments.inc handle this itself
   wrapped in a $theme->box().  No need to clutter the themes with
   such complexity --> updated all themes already. :-)

 - some small visual changes to some administration pages to be more
   consistent across different modules.

- fixed issue depricated call-by-reference issues
- fixed small visual glitch in includes/function.inc
- changed SQL tables around a bit to be more consistent
  (result: small changes to a lot of different files)
- improved robustness of includes/node.inc
- improved output of cron.module
- improved output of node.php

- large commit of everything else that has been queued in my backlog:
  it's not 100% stable yet

- various smaller updates before I start watching Formula 1 with [a] a
  0.5 liter box of Haagen-Dhaz (Belgian Choclate) and [b] my laptop on
  my lap for drupal hacking.  Life hardly can get any better than this.
