#195678 by catch: standardise on Save and Preview button terminology (for comments) and button placement for comments and nodes, so Save is always the leftmost button, and there is no guessing to find it

#155337 by gpk and Bevan: only treat newlines teaser breakers, if the newline filter is present in the particular input format

#194994 by gpk: the PHP format was moved to php/0 instead of filter/2 and this was not updated in the node teaser building code
