- Removed broken throttle.

- System: the 404 setting instructions advise using 'node', this should be '' (redirecting the user to the front page without any message whatsoever is confusing)

- Patch by Steven: removed redundant permission checks.  These are no longer
  required thanks to the new 404 handling.

Fix bad default timezone format for timezone display. Would cause a bug on sites that haven't been configured completely yet.

- Batch two with profile module improvements:
   + Reworked the 'account administration' page.
   + Fixed bug in the 'edit account' page.
   + Removed some dead code from the system.module.

   + Tidied up the profile configuration page: grouped form elements.

   + Tidied up the block configuration settings: removed hard-coded
     table.

   + Changed the profile API to return the preferred group name, and
     changed the user module to group settings.  Modules implementing
     the _user hook will need to be udpated.

   + Removed register_form and register_validate for now.

Patch 5287 by Stefan: multiline help texts should become inside a single $output.

- Removed instances of the 'throttle_enable' variable.

Committed filter separation patch: all filter-related things are now in filter.module (which is a required module).
To do this cleanly, I reorganised some bits of system.module: there is now a generic handler available for simple variable-get/set based configuration pages. Look at filter_admin() or system_view() for example usage.

(based on the patch by Goba)

- Updated code to use new semantics of url() and l().

- Added file handling.  Work by Kjartan.

- Reworked 404 (page not found) handling.  Patch by walkah.  You can specify a
  custom 404 page in the administration page.  As a result, error.php could be
  removed.

- Patch 0185 by Jeremy: made it possible to automatically disable modules when
  under heave load.

- Introduced a drupal_set_message() and drupal_get_message() function.

  Contributed themes and modules need to be updated:
   - modules: status() is no more; use drupal_set_message() instead.
   - themes: use drupal_get_message() to check for status messages and
     visualize them.

- Committed phase 4 of JonBob's menu system changes.

- Made the help text sharable by removing incorrect use of $base_url.  Patch
  by Goba.

- Committed patch #165 by Moshe.

- Improved theme configuration page.  Modified version of Adrian.

- Patch by JonBob:

  Phase 2 of the menu system integration project. This unifies the interface
  used by admin and non-admin pages, and deprecates the _page hook in favor of
  explicit callbacks from menu(). Breadcrumbs, titles, and help text go away
  as a result of this patch; they will return in the phase 3 patch, printed
  by the theme.

- Improved module loading when serving cached pages.  Moshe's bootstrap patch.

- Used legend and fieldset tags for the configuration page.

- table(...) -> theme("table", ...)

- Committed stage 2 of the theme system improvements!  Patch by CodeMonkeyX.

- Translation fix: made the word 'permission' translatable in the system module' help text.  Patch by Goba.

- Translation fix: the ping module's help text was translated twice.  Patch by Goba.

- Usability improvement: replaced many selection boxes by radio buttons.
  Patch by Stefan.

- Added support for "special timezones".  Patch by Steven/UnConeD.

- Usability improvement: removed the cron setting.  It was dead code.

- Documentation improvement: updated documentation to match menu item changes.
  Fixes critical bug #3453.  (In the end, someone has to do it ...)

- Committed part 3 of Michael's help system improvements: removed the $help
  parameter from the menu() function.

- Help system improvements: eliminated the _system hook.  Patch by Michael.

- Bloggerapi module fixes.  Patch by Kjartan.

- Coding style fixes.  Patch by Michael.

- Help improvements and translation improvements from Michael.  Thanks!

- Removed dead code.  Patch by stefan.

- Moved the locale settings from the user module to the locale module.
  Patch by Stefan.

- Moved the theme settings from the user module to the system module and
  made the code more intelligent.  Patch by Stefan.

- More translation fixes for the menu items.  Patch by Gabor.

- Made sure the system module can be translated entirely.  Patch by Stefan.

- Made sure all menu items can be translated.  Path by Goba.
