- Bugfix: made searching locale strings work.  Patch by Al.  Fixes bug #1986.

- Bugfix: locale module fix for bug # 1822 (translated/untranslated and search
  issues).  Patch #12 by Al.

- Bugfix: charset fixes/clean-up.  Patch #52 by Al.

- Improvement: renamed some theme functions of the forum module for sake of consistency/readability.  Patch #2 by Kristjan.

- Improvement: usability improvements to the Xtemplate theme.  Patch #3 by Kristjan.

- Improvement: CSS'ified the book module pages.  Patch #3 by Al.  (I simplified the "l
ocation" part.  Al's approach gave you a bit more power but I'm not sure anyone wants
to change that.  Besides, this will change as soon we integrate the menu system so I kept it easy for now.)

- Bugfix: fixed the CREATE FUNCTION in database.mssql as it needs to be prefixed with GO for some obscure reason.  Patch by Kjartan.

- Bugfix: fixed the defaults for blocks in database.mssql so the NOT NULL fields get values.  Patch by Kjartan.

- Bugfix: changed check_form() to use htmlspecialchars() instead of drupal_specialchars() as this caused Drupal to emit incorrect form items in presence of quotes.  Example:

  <input type="submit" class="form-submit" name="op" value="Submit "top nodes" block changes" />

  IMO, drupal_specialchars() is better called xmlspecialchars() to avoid confusion.

- Bugfix: when an anonymous user visits a site, they shouldn't see any content (except the login block, if it is enabled) unless they have the "access content" permissions.  Patch by Matt Westgate.

- Improvement: improved the error checking and the error messages in the profile module.  Updated the code to match the Drupal coding conventions.  Modified patch from Matt Westgate.

- Improvement: don't generate the <base href=""> tag in the base theme; it is already emitted by theme_head().  Patch by Kristjan.

- Improvement: don't execute any SQL queries when checking the permissions of user #1.  Patch by Kjartan.

- Improvement: made a scalable layout form that works in IE and that behaves better with narrow themes.  Part of patch #51 by Al.

- Improvement: removed some redundant print statements from the comment module.  Modified patch from Craig Courtney.

- More charset patches by Al.

- Bugfix: renamed the SQL field 'types' to 'nodes' because 'types' is a reserved keyword in MySQL 4.  This fixes critical bug #1618.  Patch by Marco.

  ==> This fix requires to run update.php!

- Bugfix: made sessions work without warnings when register_globals is turned off. The solution is to use $_SESSION instead of session_register().  This fixes critical bug #1797.  Patch by Marco.

- Bugfix: sometimes error messages where being discarded when previewing a node.  Patch by Craig Courtney.

- Bugfix: fixed charset problems.  This fixes critical bug #1549.  Patch '0023.charset.patch' by Al.

- Documentation improvements: polished the node module help texts and form descriptions.  Patch '0019.node.module.help.patch' by Al.

- CSS improvements all over the map!  Patch '0021.more.css.patch' by Al.

- GUI improvements: improved the position of Druplicon in the admin menu.  Patch '0020.admin.logo.patch' by Al.

- GUI improvements: new logos for theme Marvin and theme UnConeD.  Logos by Kristjan Jansen.

- GUI improvements: small changes to the output emitted by the profile module.  Suggestions by Steven Wittens.

- GUI improvements: small fixes to Xtemplate.  Patch '0022.xtemplate.css.patch' by Al.

TODO:

- Some modules such as the buddy list module and the annotation module in the contributions repository are also using session_register().  They should be updated.  We should setup a task on Drupal.

- There is code emitting '<div align="right">' which doesn't validate.

- Does our XML feeds validate with the charset changes?

- The forum module's SQL doesn't work properly on PostgreSQL.

- Removed the module field from the locale search form.  It won't work and
  there is no easy replacement.

- Wrapped the strings in htmlentities() such that one can see the HTML.

- Michael Frankowski's excellent help text improvements!

- Fixed a typo in the PostgreSQL database scheme.  Patch by Michael Frankowski.

- Fixed a typo in the MSSQL database scheme.  Patch by Michael Frankowski.

- Removed dependency on "register_globals = on"!  Patches by Michael Frankowski.

  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.

- Added admin description suggested by Gunnar (slightly modified).

- All LIMIT queries must go through the pager or through db_query_range().
  The syntax for db_query_range() was enhanced so it matches db_query(). So
  you may pass extra arguments of the SQL statement which are checked via
  check_query() and then substituted into the SQL statement. After these
  optional arguments, you always pass $from and $count parameters which
  define your range.  Most often, the $from is 0 and the count is the max
  number of records you want returned.  Patch by Moshe.

- The pager_query() function for PEAR was enhanced so that it adds  proper
  GROUP BY statement counting the number of records to be paged. Patch by
  James Arthur.

- MSSQL database scheme by Moshe.

  1) Even when string is not translated, put it in the cache and save a
     query for each untranslated string.
  2) When there is no cache, create one.

- New menu houskeeping.  Prototyped by Zbynek.

  The following modules need updating:
    * glossary module
    * feed module (Breyten's version)
    * mailhandler module
    * notify module
    * project module
    * smileys module
    * admin module
    * style module
    * taxonomy_dhtml module

  To avoid unexpected problems menu_add() is deprecated (it will print an
  error message when used) and menu() should be used instead.

- Clean URL patch.

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

- Usability improvement: made the locale module tables use the new table
  rendering functions.

- Usability improvement: a couple of strings could not be translated.

- Refactored the administration pages.

Applied patch by Natrak:

- page_header() now adds Last-Modified and ETag http headers.
- When running PHP as an Apache module page_header() will check the HTTP
  headers for conditional gets, and will only push the content when it
  fails. (Works for html and xml pages as they are all cached). Note:
  this is a PHP limitation, so until PHP makes it work for other web
  servers this won't work for them.
- Added created field to cache database to hold the timestamp when the
  cache was created.
- Changed cache_get() to return an object with ->data and ->created.
- Update forum and locale modules.

- Applied Stefaan's locale patches.  The statistics.module patch failed to
  apply.

  1. The locale admin menu items 'untranslated "langcode" strings'
     'translated "langcode" strings' were not properly localized.

  2. When inserting new locale strings the uri which generated the
     new string was not properly set (the 'location' field in
     locale table).

  Patch by Ori.

- Documentation update: "%s/ drupal / Drupal /cg".  In documentation we
  prefer "Drupal" instead of "drupal".

- removed admin options for queue and comment module if the modules are not
  loaded.
- nodes are now auto promoted when queue module isn't enabled.
- moderation result block is now visible by the node author.

- Removed the redundant option to enable or disable the locale module.

- fixed comment flat list view missing 1 comment.
- changed update.php around a bit.
    * security check isn't in effect if the db hasn't been updated.
    * instructions re-organized.
    * fixed some minor updates.
- updated database.mysql done by UnConeD.
- changelog update.

Added a piece of code to insert common strings (currently weekdays and month-names) into the locale table. It's triggered whenever you visit the locale admin pages, but executes only once.

    * 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.

    + ...

- Applied Marco's locale improvements / clean-ups.

- Integrated Marco's locale patch.

- 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.

- I tidied up most SQL tables to be more consistent with the rest of the
  tables: I changed all "id"s to "xid"s where "x" is the first letter of
  the table name.  I also renamed all remaining "userid"s to "uid"s as I
  mentioned I would do.  Take a look at ./drupal/updates/3.00-to-x.xx.sql
  for the MySQL updates.

- fixed small glitch in node_del()

- fixed small glitch in comment_del()

- changed the API of the form() function.  The first parameter, the
  "action"-attribute in the <form>-tag has been made optional.  By
  default, it will be set to "$REQUEST_URI".

  Why? Because in 98% of the cases we would do:

    global $REQUEST_URI;
    $form = form($REQUEST_URI, $form_content);

  while we can do:

    $form = form($form_content);

  now.

  Update your modules (and sorry for the inconvenience)!

- search is now default.
- search remembers your settings.
- save will dump you back to your last search.

- fixed the filter/search problem.

- renamed locale_search() locale_filter() so it does not show up on
  node searches.

- various improvements and small additions
