      The Input formats - filter patch has landed. I still need to make update instructions for modules and update the hook docs.
      
      Here's an overview of the changes:
      1) Multiple Input formats: they are complete filter configurations (what filters to use, in what order and with which settings). Input formats are admin-definable, and usage of them is role-dependant. For example, you can set it up so that regular users can only use limited HTML, while admins can free HTML without any tag limitations.
      The input format can be chosen per content item (nodes, comments, blocks, ...) when you add/edit them. If only a single format is available, there is no choice, and nothing changes with before.
      
      The default install (and the upgrade) contains a basic set of formats which should satisfy the average user's needs.
      
      2) Filters have toggles
      Because now you might want to enable a filter only on some input formats, an explicit toggle is provided by the filter system. Modules do not need to worry about it and filters that still have their own on/off switch should get rid of it.
      
      3) Multiple filters per module
      This was necessary to accomodate the next change, and it's also a logical extension of the filter system.
      
      4) Embedded PHP is now a filter
      Thanks to the multiple input formats, I was able to move the 'embedded PHP' feature from block.module, page.module and book.module into a simple filter which executes PHP code. This filter is part of filter.module, and by default there is an input format 'PHP', restricted to the administrator only, which contains this filter.
      This change means that block.module now passes custom block contents through the filter system.
      As well as from reducing code duplication and avoiding two type selectors for page/book nodes, you can now combine PHP code with other filters.
      
      5) User-supplied PHP code now requires <?php ?> tags.
      This is required for teasers to work with PHP code. Because PHP evaluation is now just another step in the filter process, we can't do this. Also, because teasers are generated before filtering, this would result in errors when the teaser generation would cut off a piece of PHP code.
      
      Also, regular PHP syntax explicitly includes the <?php ?> tags for PHP files, so it makes sense to use the same convention for embedded PHP in Drupal.
      
      6) Filter caching was added.
      Benchmarking shows that even for a simple setup (basic html filtering + legacy URL rewriting), filtercache can offer speedups. Unlike the old filtercache, this uses the normal cache table.
      
      7) Filtertips were moved from help into a hook_filter_tips(). This was required to accomodate the fact that there are multiple filters per module, and that filter settings are format dependant. Shoehorning filter tips into _help was ugly and silly. The display of the filter tips is done through the input format selector, so filter_tips_short() no longer exists.
      
      8) A more intelligent linebreak convertor was added, which doesn't stop working if you use block-level tags and which adds <p> tags.

      First tab improvements by Adrian:
      
        + Changed menu.inc to generate two separate lists instead of nested lists:
          that seems to be the only alternative to get rid of absolute positioning.
      
        + Changed the tabs code to be more sexy and put the code in misc/drupal.css
          so all themes are automagically updated.

      Tabs patch!
      
      CHANGES
      -------
      
       + Introduced tabs. First, we extended the menu system to support tabs. Next, a tab was added for every link that was (1) an administrative action other than the implicit 'view' (2) relevant to that particular page only. This is illustrated by the fact that all tabs are verbs and that clicking a page's tab leads you to a subpage of that page.
      
       + Flattened the administration menu. The tabs helped simplify the navigation menu as I could separate 'actions' from 'navigation'. In addition, I removed the 'administer > configuration'-menu, renamed 'blocks' to 'sidebars' which I hope is a bit more descriptive, and made a couple more changes. Earlier, we already renamed 'taxonomy' to 'categorization' and we move 'statistics' under 'logs'.
      
       + Grouped settings. All settings have been grouped under 'administer > settings'.
      
      TODO
      ----
      
       + Update core themes: only Xtemplate default supports tabs and even those look ugly.  Need help.
      
       + Update contributed modules.  The menu() hook changed drastically.  Updating your code adhere the new menu() function should be 90% of the work.  Moreover, ensure that your modue's admin links are still valid and that URLs to node get updated to the new scheme ('node/view/x' -> 'node/x').

      - Improved form handling.
      
        + Introduced two new functions:
            1. form_set_error($name, $message): files an error against the form
               element with the specified  $name.
            2. form_has_errors(): returns true if errors has been filed against
               form elements.
      
        + Updated the form handling:
             1. The form_ functions will add 'class="error"' when a form field
                has been found to be erroneous.
             2. The error message is passed to theme_form_element() when the
                particular form field has been found to be erroneous.
      
        + I updated the user and profile module to take advantage of these new
          functions.
      
        + IMPORTANT: the _user() hook changed.  The 'validate' case should no
          longer retun an error message when something goes wrong but should
          set it with form_set_error().

        This functionality depricates some of the 'navigation modules' in the
        contributions repository.  Furthermore, modules can now 'suggest'
        menu items and site adminstrators can choose to enable them.  Modules
        in the contributions repository should try to take advantage of this.

      - Rewrote the profile module:
      
         + Added a 'created' field to the users table and renamed the 'timestamp'
           fied to 'changed' (cfr. node table).  Update.php will try to determine
           a 'created' timestamp for existing users.
      
         + The profile module no longer uses serialized data but has its own set
           of tables.  Known existing profile data is migrated by these new tables.
             TODO: migrate the birthday field.
      
         + The profile fields can be grouped, and within each group, profile fields
           can be sorted using weights.
      
         + The profile pages can be themed.
      
         + The profiles can be browsed based on certain properties/settings.
      
         + Change the _user hook: (i) 'private_view' and 'public_view' are merged
           into 'view' as there are no private fields and (ii) 'edit_form' has
           been renamed to 'edit'.
      
         + Avatar handling has been refactored and is now part of the user module.
           The users table has a dedicted 'picture' field.
      
         + Simplified the way themes should use display/visualize pictures or
           avatars.
      
         + Made it possible for administrators to replace or delete avatars.
      
         + ...
      
        I hope this make for a good base to build on collectively.
