- Sometimes nodes where being displayed when they shouldn't.  Patch by
  Marco.

- Fix problem of comments not showing when viewed through node.php.  Patch
  by Moshe.

- Allows for displaying nodes without the comment module being enabled.
  Patch by Ori.

- Change to use the proper db_query syntax.  Patch by Marco.

    * fixed mails not being parsed properly.
    * tracker now shows user name when you view your own recent
      comments.
    * link to submission queue now points to the right place.
    * fixed jabber module.
    * theme is now activated when changed.
- applied Gerhards coding style patch.

- 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.

    + ...

- import.module:

    + Improved input filtering; this should make the news items look
      more consistent in terms of mark-up.

    + Quoted all array indices: converted all instances of $foo[bar]
      to $foo["bar"].  Made various other changes to make the import
      module compliant with the coding style.

- theme.inc:

    + Fixed small XHTML glitch

- comment system:

    + Made it possible for users to edit their comments (when certain
      criteria are matched).

    + Renamed the SQL table field "lid" to "nid" and updated the code
      to reflect this change: this is a rather /annoying/ change that
      has been asked for a few times.  It will impact the contributed
      BBS/forum modules and requires a tiny SQL update:

        sql> ALTER TABLE comments CHANGE lid nid int(10) NOT NULL;

    + Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
      comment.module where it belongs.  This also marks a first step
      towards removing/reducing "node.php".

    + Added a delete button to the comment admin form and made it so
      that Drupal prompts for confirmation prior to deleting a comment
      from the database.  This behavior is similar to that of deleting
      nodes.

    + Disabled comment moderation for now.

    + Some of the above changes will make it easier to integrate the
      upcomcing mail-to-web and web-to-mail gateways.  They are part
      of a bigger plan.  ;)

- node system:

    + Made it so that updating nodes (like for instance updating blog
      entries) won't trigger the submission rate throttle.

    + Fixed a small glitch where a node's title wasn't always passed
      to the $theme->header() function.

    + Made "node_array()" and "node_object()" more generic and named
      them "object2array()" and "array2object()".

    + Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
      comment.module where it belongs.  This also marks a first step
      towards removing/reducing "node.php".

- misc:

    + Applied three patches by Foxen.  One to improve performance of
      the book module, and two other patches to fix small glitches in
      common.inc.  Thanks Foxen!

- Display the current node's title in the <title></title>-tag.

A set of updates to the "_link" system:

 - Made the /comment links/ jump to the comments instead of to the top
   of the page.

 - Replaced the "Add comment"-button by a "add new comment"-link.
   (This should make UnConeD jump up and down of wild excitement.)

 - Moved all comment related logic from theme.inc and node.module to
   comment.inc and comment.module (where they belong).

 - Added some links to ease the site's usability/navigation.

- node system:
    + fixed a typo in node_load(): it should be faster now

- book module:
    + removed the functions book_parent() and book_parent_query() as
      they were no longer needed.  Gerhard & co: this should fix the
      occasional SQL errors you get, and should improve performance.

    + made the "next", "previous" and "up" links work correctly ...

    + XHTML-ified the code

    + added some missing translations

  I'm working on the book module now to make it possible to update book
  pages.

- Made the node forms support "help texts": it is not possible to configure
  Drupal to display submission guidelines, or any other kind of explanation
  such as "NO TEST POSTS", for example.

- Added node versioning: it is possible to create revisions, to view old
  revisions and to roll-back to older revisions.  You'll need to apply a
  SQL update.

  I'm going to work on the book module now, so I might be changing a few
  things to enable collaborative, moderated revisions - but feel free to
  send some first feedback, if you like.

- Added some configuration options which can be used to set the minimum
  number of words a blog/story should consist of.  Hopefully this will
  be usefull to stop the (almost empty) test blogs.

- Various improvements:
   + Fine-tuned new node permission system.
   + Fine-tuned the functions in node.inc.
   + Fine-tuned some forms.
   + XHTML-ified some code.

- Another batch of updates/improvements:

   + introduced basic node permissions ("create", "delete", "update" and
     "view") at the node level: it's up to the "<$node->type>_module" to
     hide gory details (if any).

   + made the "blog it"-feature in the blog and import module work with
     the new node system, in specific with the new centralized forms.

   + made it possible to update blogs.

   + made the page module work with the new node system.

   + various smaller improvements.

- A large batch of updates, amongst them a rewritten node system.  More
  information available on the mailing list.

  easier. Also changed the <? tag to <?php in some cases.

  one was posted and the rest expired/dumped/queued.

- fixed a SQL typo in node.php: user --> users

- added SQL table keys for the node types

- Removed a node's link ID (lid) as discussed on the mailing list.  See
  'updates/3.00-to.x.xx.mysql' for the required MySQL updates.

- Renamed some "author" fields to "uid" fields for sake of consistency.

- Fixed the coding style of some PHP files.

- Fixed the moderation queue (fairly untested though).

- Re-introduced the temporary SQL table in _node_get().

- Added a missing 'auto_increment' to 'updates/3.00-to-x.xx.mysql'.

- tidied up some "$status"-es and removed "$rstatus".

- small update

    "call to undefined function: db_num_row()"

- a batch of updates, including some experimental changes to the moderation
  of comments and nodes.

- fixed book.module not generating next/prev links properly
- re-added default node options to the admin page
- fixed a potential bug in node.php. Nodes with same titles were confusing it
  at times, should fix the bug reported by Gerhard Killesreiter.

- Added the new user module!

- Changed the authentication and login scheme as discussed on the mailing
  list.
- Fixed the export function in book.module (patch my Julian).
- Fixed the comment alignment (comments got truncated).

- format_username() now takes a second optional parameter which gives the
  real name of the user.

Rest
- updated the calls to format_username() where appropriate to show the name
  of the user instead of the account id. Clicking on a name will still give you
  the account info etc. If you find a place where the real name is not shown
  let me know.

- Made search.php a module, being search.module.

- Updated the permission names to be more consistent.

- Small improvement to node.php.

- Tidied up node.inc and node.php a bit.

- Fixed annoyance in comment.inc.

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!

- Fixed typo in node.php (patch by Simone).
- Fixed type in 2.00-to-x.xx.sql (patch by Simone).

- 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 ...

- Modified comment.inc to use form_*() functions. Might have some
  side-effects I haven't found yet. Report any problems.

- 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.

- Added the "delete" hook for node-modules. When called, a module should do additional clean-up if necessary.

- Updated all node-modules

- Redid settings.module and even renamed it to conf.module.
    * Settings are now grouped in basic categories like "system
      settings", "module settings" and "filters".
  * Added new settings to make Drupal easier to configure and
  to make some aspects like the watchdog scale better.

- Renamed includes/settings.php to includes/conf.php.

- Added filter support to conf.module and introduced filter hooks so
  modules can implement and export new filters.  Example filters are
  an HTML filter (implemented), a profanity filter, an url converter,
  ASCII smileys to images filter and so on ...

- Reworked the check_* functions: user contributed content/input is
  only verified and filtered once in its lifespan.

NOTES

- Altough this is a large commit, no database changes are required.

 - Changed include "includes/common.inc"; to include_once
   "includes/common.inc"; Including the common file more than once will
   cause bad things.

Another big update so please read this carefully because there is important information hidden in it.

Made it so that we can disable/enable comments on a category by category basis. In order to accomplish this I had to make a few (*temporary*) changes.

I moved all comment code from the "module level" (eg. story.module) to the "node level".  It was nothing but the logical next step in nodifying drupal.  This enables us to add comments to all existing content types including book entries.  But also for book entries, this to can be toggled on and off. :-)

Moreover module writers don't have to worry about the complex comment logic: it is "abstracted" away.  This implies that story.module got smaller, faster and easier to comprehend. :-)

In order to accomplish this, I had to update ALL THEMES, which I did - and on my way I updated Goofy, Oranzh and UnConeD - with the previous changes.  All themes are up-to-date now!  I also had to remove the [ reply to this story ] links, and temporally re-introcuded the "Add comment" button in the "Comment control".  Tempora lly that is, UnConeD. ;)

I plan to upgrade drop.org either tommorow or wednesday so test away if you have some time to kill. ;)

Oh, I also fixed a few bugs and made various small improvements.

- improved submit.php:
  it now uses the new category code, incl content bindings.
  You can setup different "categories" which map on a content
  type.  Example:
    review   -> review.module
    article  -> story.module
    column   -> story.module
    announc. -> story.module
    addons   -> file.module
    themes   -> file.module
- "generalised" story.module and book.module's output.
- fixed bug in includes/timer.inc
- fixed glitch in theme example.theme: it said "$how by" but
  the variable $how has never been declared.
- added "drupal development settings" to display some timings
- more work on the categories/topics -> does NOT work yet

- various smaller improvements

Last night's updates:

 - improved "track drop.org": it has now 2 boxes, one for "track
   comments" and one for "track nodes"
 - various small improvements to the book module based on the
   feedback we got.
 - fixed typo in moderation module
 - ...
