- Applied Stefaan's locale patches.  The statistics.module patch failed to
  apply.

- Fixed typo in CSS.  Patch by James.

- XHTML-ified a few things.

- Wrapped admin_page() in page_header() and page_footer() calls, and made
  it display an "access denied" message when access without the proper
  access rights.  Patch by Moshe.

- Applied Marco's big patch, including contributions from Moshe:

    + Changed the db_query() API.

    + Wrapped all links in l(), lm(), la(), ..., drupal_url() functions.

    + XHTML-ified some HTML.

    + Wrapped a lot of text in the administrative pages in a t()
      function.

    + Replaced all $REQUEST_URI/$PATH_INFOs by request_uri().

    + Small bugfixes (eg. bug in book_export_html() and clean-ups (eg.
      RSS code).

    + Fixed some bugs in the taxonomy module (eg. tree making bug), added
      new functionality (eg. new APIs for use by other modules), included
      Moshe's taxonomy extensions, and some documentation udpates.

    + ...

- A large batch of updates, amongst them a rewritten node system.  More
  information available on the mailing list.

  easier. Also changed the <? tag to <?php in some cases.

- Removed a node's link ID (lid) as discussed on the mailing list.  See
  'updates/3.00-to.x.xx.mysql' for the required MySQL updates.

- Renamed some "author" fields to "uid" fields for sake of consistency.

- Fixed the coding style of some PHP files.

- Fixed the moderation queue (fairly untested though).

- Re-introduced the temporary SQL table in _node_get().

- Added a missing 'auto_increment' to 'updates/3.00-to-x.xx.mysql'.

- Added the new user module!

- fixed fonts for browser compatibility

- import.module:
   + added internal improvements suggested by Julian.
   + XHTML-ified

- admin.php:
   + XHTML-ified

- Typo: missing quote in URL

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 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 ...

- Redid settings.module and even renamed it to conf.module.
    * Settings are now grouped in basic categories like "system
      settings", "module settings" and "filters".
  * Added new settings to make Drupal easier to configure and
  to make some aspects like the watchdog scale better.

- Renamed includes/settings.php to includes/conf.php.

- Added filter support to conf.module and introduced filter hooks so
  modules can implement and export new filters.  Example filters are
  an HTML filter (implemented), a profanity filter, an url converter,
  ASCII smileys to images filter and so on ...

- Reworked the check_* functions: user contributed content/input is
  only verified and filtered once in its lifespan.

NOTES

- Altough this is a large commit, no database changes are required.

- 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!".

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

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 "you-have-to-logout-and-login-before-permissions-change" bug
  (reported by UnConeD)
- added "add node" link to book selection box and made it display the
  current location
- removed tabs and whitespaces from themes - done automatically

- fixed home-link when using drupal in a subdirectory

- the administration page will only display those links/sections to which
  one has access (on popular demand)

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

- added a new faq module with administration interface

- small changes to the watchdog module to make it more conform with other
  modules
- small changes to the account module to make it more conform with other
  modules
- users can be deleted

- 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

- removed all tabs

- removed redundant spaces

- fixed 2 small bugs in account.php
- drastically improved administration section
- drastically revamped story administration:
  added new feature to schedule the publishing of stories
- applied correct naming conventions to submission.php
- fixed 1 small glitch in boxes
- somewhat expanded the documentation
= changed one SQL table
- updated the faq with info on drupal
- ... and more things I forgot about

- 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

- improved web interface of cron module.

- improved web interface of account module.

- added simple permission system with both administrators
  and regular users. It can be made more fine-grained but
  it will do for now.

- various small enhancements to the other modules, but
  nothing big.

Again, a large batch of updates - I'm twisting things around here:

 1. improved .htaccess to be more "secure": to keep prying
    eyes out

 2. rewrote the administration section from scratch using a
    modular approach

 3. improved the information gathered by error.php - we can
    now (hopefully) track what bots are crawling us.

 4. fixed a bug in submit.php, fixed a bug in theme zaphod,
    fixed a bug in theme marvin.

 5. rewrote cron from scratch - it now interfaces with
    modules as it should have been from the beginning.
    Very cool if you ask me - it can use UNIX/Linux
    crontabs.

 6. updated widget.inc to be module aware - needs more
    work though - maybe this afternoon?

 7. updated most modules: small bugfixes, improvements, and
    even the documentation

 8. removed diary.php and made it a module - you can now
    run a drop.org site without a diary system if someone
    would prefer so

 9. updated all themes to use the new modules where
    appropriate

 10. added a robots.txt because the error message in the
     watchdog become annoying.

 11. added the new configuration system (mutliple vhosts
     on the same source tree) - use hostname.conf instead
     of config.inc

 12. removed calendar.inc and made it a module

 13. added format_interval() to functions.inc (UnConeD)

 14. whatever I forgot ...

- large batch of updates

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

  - fixed bug in story section
account.php:
  - removed death code, clean-up, reorganization
  - added "lost password?" functionality
faq.php:
  - clean-up
watchdog.inc:
  - improvements
  - end of input-limit test period
error.php:
  - improvements, still crappy layout though

Another batch with a lot of internal updates, yet no visual changes to the
site:

- watchdog (rewrite):
   + the collected information provides more details and insights
     for post-mortem research
   + input limitation
- database abstraction layer:
   + mysql errors are now verbose and is no longer displayed in a
     browser - fixes a possible security risk
- admin.php:
   + updated watchdog page
   + fixed security flaw
- diary.php:
   + fixed nl2br problem
- themes:
   + fixed comment bug in all 3 themes.
- misc:
   + renamed some global variables for sake of consistency:
      $sitename  -->  $site_name
      $siteurl   -->  $site_url
   + added input check where (a) exploitable and (b) possible
   + added input size check
   + various small improvements
   + fixed various typoes

... and much, much more in fact.

- Fixed quote bug in the comment tracker.
  (suggestion UnConeD)
- Added anchors to comment links to easy comment navigation.
  (suggestion UnConeD)
- Fixed duplicate `you voted' after moderating a story.
  (suggestion UnConeD)
- Fixed quote bug in administration center.
- Expanded user administration with timezone information.
- Improved the theme system by eliminating the "preview" function.
  Let's not make the system more complex then it ought to be.
- Refined watchdog administration.
- ...
