- Patch #169982 by moshe, eaton, bjaspan, nedjo, yched, et al: missing feature from schema API: load/save records based upon schema.

#172773 by numerous contributors: Make the actions interface usable by mere mortals (including rename of actions.module to trigger, but keeping the actions themselfs).

Complete previous history of actions module:
 - #148410 by jvandyk: added rewrite of the actions module!
 - #155986 by Uwe: fixed typos.
 - #155828 by Eaton, pwolanin and jvandyk: let actions live even if actions.module is not turned on

- Patch #163191 by hswong3i: removed db_num_rows() for compatibility with Oracle and DB2.  Also a performance improvement. (Correct version this time.)

- Patch #163191 by hswong3i: removed db_num_rows() for compatibility with Oracle and DB2.  Also a performance improvement.

- Patch #158537 by Benjamin Melancon and Wim Leers: unnecessary 'ORDER BY' in taxonomy_vocabulary_load.

#100641 by kkaefer, ChrisKennedy and RobRoy: change 'Submit' buttons to 'Save' to compliy with the desktop metaphor and actually tell what the button does ('we know it submits the form, but what it does?')

- Patch #20295 by pyromanfo, webchick, Gurpartap Singh et al: allow forum topics to be custom node types.

  unanimously agreed to rollback the deletion API.  We all support the
  features this patch added, yet not its actual design and implementation.
  After some talk, we decided that it would be better for Drupal -- in the
  long term -- not to go with a solution that isn't 100%. We also recognize
  that in the short term, this patch would have been useful addition. So
  let's figure out how we can implement this properly in D7.

#154064 by pwolanin: get hook_help() up to speed to menu changes, allowing router path based lookups, and also full path argument lookup with a passed argument array

  This is a very important patch, but one that is merely an enabler.
  Hopefully we'll see more people submitting "action patches" in the
  near future.

  Thanks for the hard work and persistence, John.  *If* you decide
  to update the Drupal Pro Development book to Drupal 6, make sure
  to add a chapter on actions. ;)

- Patch #149176 by chx, David et al: getting rid of the sequences table, using db_last_insert_id() instead of db_next_id().
