  Notes:

  + Updated the patches to use $foo["bar"] instead of $foo['bar'].
  + Updated the INSTALL and CHANGELOG files as well.

- Tiny improvement to the "./scripts/code-clean.sh" script.

- Applied  Michael Caerwyn's "%s -> %d" patch.

- Changed all occurences of '%d' to %d as suggested on the mailing list.

- Modified some moderation logic to make it more workable.

    * After having a chat with Dries we have agreed on the logics (or
      more specifically he told me how its supposed to work). The queue
      module is just a method to make moderation public, but its not
      necessarily the only way. This brings the power back.
- Minor interface tweaks (names, case changes, etc).
- Fixed error that would show when you tried to view the profile of a
  blocked user.

- Changed node settings page to use table().
- Minor code beautification here and there.

- Added node_admin_settings() to let users set node defaults.
    * Added _nodeapi("conf")
- Modified form_checkbox() to unset options. (Modified the patch from Ax.)
- Removed the _save() hook.
- Fixed a logical flaw in field_get() and field_set() which would break
  moderation.
- Moved some admin menus around and cleaned up some typos.

- Added a _nodeapi hook that in time will replace the _node hook. Trying
  to make as few changes to existing code as possible until the new api
  is stabilized.
- Modified node_form() to add administration options from other modules
  using the _nodeapi hook.
- Modified node_save() to fetch which fields should be saved to the node
  table from the _nodeapi hook.
- Moved comment and queue options from node_form() and node_save() to
  the modules _nodeapi hooks.

- Everything is using theme("function") now instead of $theme->function().

- Fixed "clean URL" glitch in queue module.  Patch by Ax.

- Small improvement to url().  Patch by Ax.

- Clean URL patch.

- Tidied up the use of check_output().  Might make rendering pages a bit
  snappier (performance improvement).

o Permission improvements:

   + Removed the "post content" permission and replaced it by more fine-grained permissions such as "maintain static pages", "maintain personal blog", "maintain stories", etc.

o Usability improvements to teasers:

   + Teaser forms are no more.  Teasers are extracted automatically but can also be instructed using a delimiter "---".  Furthermore, when a post it too short for a teaser, the user won't be bother with teaser stuff anymore.

   + Added an option to set the teaser length, or to disable teasers all together.

   + When previewing a post, both the short (if any) and the full version of a post are shown.  This addresses a common complaint; for example, when writing a book page there was no way you could preview the short version of your post.

   + Forum posts can be teasered now.  This is particularly helpful in the context of drupal.org where we promote forum topics.

o Bugfix: replaced all PHP short tags (<?) with long tags (<?php).

o Bugfix: removed hard-coded dependence on comment module.

o Bugfix: when the queue module was disabled, it was not possible to approve updated book pages.

o Bugfix: applied modified version of Marco's node_teaser() fix.

- 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.

    + ...

- Added Marco's long-awaited taxonmy module and patches - a replacement
  for the meta system.  The patches add some extra functionality to the
  comment system (for example, comments can be set read-only) and fix a
  couple of small problems.

  + I integrated the required SQL updates from the varius *.mysql files
    into the "update.php" script.  Upgrading should be easy ...

  + I did not apply/commit the "user.diff" as requested by Marco ...

  + I didn't know what to do with "forum.module" and "forum2.module":
    what do you want me to do with it Marco?  Which one should go in?

  + Can we remove "node_index()" now; both from "node.module" and the
    themes?

  + Thanks Marco!

  for it.
- comments are shown below the queued node, can be disabled in the admin /
  settings and filters.

- Made the calendar module accept a $date parameter such that you
  can jump directly to a certain date in the archives.  Also made
  the calendar link to itself such that it is self-contained.

- Code beautifications: quoted a lot of arrays, removed dead code
  and simplified a few things.

- Replaced the Calendar class by one function "calendar_display":
  using a class (or class instance, or object) doesn't make sense
  in the archives' case.

- Renamed "calendar.module" to "archive.module".

- Fixed a /problem/ with node settings not always being saved like
  expected.

- Reorganized the user menu: renamed a couple of links for clarity
  and structure.

- Fixed a few typos.

- Fixed more than 30 HTML and XML well-formedness errors.

    * only problem is that the admin.php link is not available until the
      admin enables the block.
    * $theme->user is obsolete, will patch the themes properly in a
      later patch.
- moved moderation block from theme.inc to queue.module.
    * removed theme_moderation_results().
- updated database/database.mysql.

- Added about 50 title tags.
