Update of the box function in themes to allow a difference in style/output/look of a box() depending on the position on the page.
Basically this is a 'nice version' of a hack that you could do as a theme author.
I've updated all the standard themes, but 3rd party themes will of course have to be updated by their authors, in the following manner:

- Replace the box() declaration:
< function box($subject, $content) {
> function box($subject, $content, $region = "main") {

- Replace the theme_account call:
< theme_account($this);
> theme_account("region", $this);

Note that you'll have to replace "region" with the correct region that the box is placed in. However if you have a one-column theme, you should use "all", and not for example "left" (if all boxes are on the left).
Usually the "region" here should be the same as the nearest theme_blocks() call.

Those theme authors who want to can make boxes that appear in the center look different from those that appear in the sides for example.

- Tidied up some stuff in account.php and theme.inc.
- Tidied up the box() API.

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!

- Made it possible to enter longer username such as 'Gerhard K*llesreit'.

- Updated database.mysql.

- 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 ...

- Merged "system settings" and "module settings" into one page.  IMHO
  it wasn't a good idea to split them up in first place, and it turned
  out to be quite hard to decide where to put some variables.

  Also moved some variables around and even renamed a few variables
  while doing so.

- Added a page_header() and page_footer() to all top-level .php pages.

- Added a conf option to disable/enable user registrations.
- Added a add account feature to account.module.
- Moved some functions from account.php to account.module.

Todo
- Move most (all?) of account.php to account.module.

- Applied Remco's patch:
    the <LI>-bullets were not valid HTML and did only take up space.

  '=' 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'.

     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

- fixed the trailing | in some cases.
- removed theme_morelinks().
- added node_links().
- simplified BaseTheme->links().
- updated themes.

Notes
- the new links system is taking form, but concider it beta. There might still
  be some major changes ahead so I suggest waiting a little longer before
  modifying your theme to take advantage of it.

This a rather large commit that needs a lot of fine-tuning.  If you
update, you'll break your site as you need switching from structure
to index.module: so this can be considered an intermediate commit.

If you upgrade, and you are welcome to, just create a collection
called "section" (for now) and assign your nodes some attributes
in the described format.

Feedback and bugreports are welcomed.  Questions will be answered.

CHANGES:

- comment system:
   + when replying to a node (rather then to a comment), that
     node is displayed above the reply form.
   + when replying to a comment (rather then to a node), that
     comment is displayd above the reply form.

- removed structure.inc, removed structure.module.

- node.inc:
   + added 2 new node functions called 'node_attribute_edit()' and
     'node_attribute_save()' used to 'hook in' any indexing system
    including your home-brewed stuff if you'd want to.  Currently,
    index.module is the facto default index system.

    See story.module for usage.

- book.module, story.module, poll.module, page.module, forum.module:
   + added preview functionality to administration section (via node
     module).
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

- moderate.module:
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

- book.module, story.module, page.module, forum.module:
   + increased the sizes of some textareas.

- submit.php:
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

- marvin.theme:
   + removed dead code: function story() was depricated.

- unconed.theme:
   + removed hardcoded references to drop.org.

- marvin.theme, unconed.theme, jeroen.theme, yaroon.theme, example.theme:
   + removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).

TODO:

- file.module, trip_link.module:
   + update preview functionality:
       see story.module for example.
   + remove references to 'cid' and 'tid', use 'attribute' instead:
       see story.module for example.

- extend and build upon index.module as well as making it configurable

- created a BaseTheme class in theme.inc.
- added links($links = array(), $status = 0, $node = 0) to BaseTheme.
- modified all themes to extend from BaseTheme.
- modiefied theme_link() to take advantage of $theme->links().
- theme_morelink() does not require a $theme argument.

Todo
- add the other standard variables and functions to BaseTheme.
- some themes could use some more modifications.

Weird
- marvin.theme still has a story() function.

- Removed includes/timer.inc: it has been integrated in common.inc.

- Fixed a bug in node.php: UnConeD forgot to update 1 node_get_object().

- I changed the look of theme_morelink() a bit: it might not look better,
  but at least the output is "correct".

- Various small improvements.

- 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

- Made the main page display sub-topics when a specific topic
  is selected.

- Made theme_link() less "hard coded", we still have to make
  it fully configurable though.

- Fixed glitch in story submission: the warning messages were
  not displayed.

- Tidied up block.module a bit.

- 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!".

- Addition: added a new, tiny forum module: I will use this forum
  module to develop and test the permission system along with the
  regular nodes.  And hopefully, this forum module will grow into
  a very useable piece of code for drop.org.

  Requires a new SQL table "forum", see 2.00-to-x.xx.sql.

- Removed 1 unused hook from page.module.

- Removed 1 unused function from comment.inc.

- Fixed an error in module_rehash_blocks() that didn't handle '-symbols.
- Removed some module depencies. Drupal will now run (sorta) even if there
  are no modules installed.
- Changed theme_link() to check if certain modules are installed before
  offering a link to them.

Todo
- Check all SQL queries to make sure they are addslashes'ed correctly.
- Check the effects of changing the PHP magic_quotes setting.
- Make the theme_link() function to be customizable either via the admin
  page and/or in the module itself.

Large commit, read it carefully, and make the required changes to
your theme:

- corrected some missing translations in story.module.  Oops!
- grealty simplified the "moderation threshold mechanism"(tm) so
  that module writers don't have to worry about this.  As a result
  story.module and book.module became a bit smaller and easier to
  grasp.
- greatly simplified new "category" and "topic" code which is soon
  going to replace the "section" code.  Needs more work though so
  hang on thight.
- includes/section.inc and modules/section.module are replaced by
  includes/structure.module and modules/structure.module.
- beautified example.theme a bit without adding HTML complexity:
  it is a good example but still useful as a theme
- made theme example use "categories" and "topics"
    --> TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND UPDATE YOUR THEME
- made theme marvin use "categories" and "topics"
    --> TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND UPDATE YOUR THEME
- added 2 new "story listings" to administrator interface of
  story.module to verify story integrity.
- optimized comment table a bit (work in progress)

- added new variable: theme_footer which can be used to provide a
  footer message like a copyright notice. Themes should use this!

- fixed a small SQL bug in page.module
- slightly improved story.module, node.module and book.module
- made the "default theme" a setting from the setting page
- polished a bit on the export function: we can now export the
  book or parts thereof through the following url:

    1.  http://drop.org/export/book/
          (full book)
    2.  http://drop.org/export/book/nid
          (where nid is the node id to start with)

  The export routine demonstrates how it can be done yet the
  output is too basic and can only improve over time.

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

 <center></center>  ==>  <div align="center"></div>

- 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

- refactoring, refactoring, refactoring

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

- themes now get there header/footer links through theme_link();
- tidied up example.theme

- 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

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

- fixed two-side-bar-theme-bug-with-latest-headlines

- fixed small translation glitch in format_interval
- added a couple of missing t() functions
- improved the comments module, fixed the score problem Jeroen
  reported earlier -> it's slicker but I hope it won't break anything

- fixed bug in block placement when (1) using a theme with 2 side bars
  and (2) being logged out.
  (reported by Jeroen)
- themed "Editor's note" in theme marvin.
