- Removed some cruft.

- Improvements: XHTML-ifications.  Patch by GmbH.  See feature #1813.

- Improvements: XHTML-ifications.  Patch by GmbH.

- Dropped check_input(); use check_query() instead.

- Made the statistics module use referer_uri() for security's sake.

- Michael Frankowski's excellent help text improvements!

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

    * 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.

- Added missing t() function.  Patch by Stefan.

- Small improvement to the admin menu based on feedback from Michael.

- Some usability improvements requested by Michael.

- Clean URL patch.

  or "operation" link.

- Made the main page of the administration section show an overview of all
  watchdog entries with such action link.

- Fixed typo in PostgreSQL database scheme.

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

- Small improvement to the links.

- Added pager support to watchdog.  Based on modified patch from Moshe.

- Removed table markup from watchdog module; should be done in admin.css.

- Refactored the administration pages.

- Strip all tags from the watchdog message.

- Fixed glitch in block module: the admin links were not composed
  correctly.  Patch by Stefan.

- Added missing t() functions and improved the %x directives for
  better readability and to ease the process of translating your
  site.  Patches by Stefan.

- Made two small additions to the 'code-clean.sh' script; it will
  now remove patch related junk.

NOTES:

- I removed the · related bits.  Let's tackle these later on
  in a separate patch after we got some sort of consensus.

- I removed the 'module_exist("drupal")' check in the user module;
  I *think* it is incomplete and therefore incorrect.

- Stefan, try using quotes in your translations and check whether
  everything still works.  Example: translate the "Create account"
  button to "Create \"haha\" account \'hihi\'" and see if you can
  still create new accounts.  Maybe automate this using a quick
  hack in the locale module ...

- 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.

    + ...

- XHTML-ified the HTML code: it passes the ./scipts/code-style.pl test
  now

- 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.

- PEAR-ification of Drupal by claw: you can now host Drupal on a wide
  range of databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and others.

  For additional information and an 'how to upgrade', check the mails
  sent to the mailing list.

- 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).

- Added improvement locale.module, based on Gerhard K.'s implementation.
  (Thanks Gerhard!)

- Various other small improvements.

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

- Updated the permission names to be more consistent.

- Small improvement to node.php.

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!

- 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 ...

Oops, a rather large commit:

- Changed meta.module, node.module and index.php to use comma-seperated
  lists of attributes rather then "foo=a,bar=b" lists.  This makes it a
  a lot easier to use both modules.  In addition, error handling can be
  discarded as it can't be made any simpler, really ...

  It fits rather nicely in Drupal's design so I'm getting more and more
  happy with this meta.module (but we are not 100% there yet).

- node.module, node.inc:

   + Improved the node-related admin interface so that navigating back
     and forth the administrative menus is made both easier and faster.

   + Removed some redundant database fields from the node table.  See
     2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

   + Added 2 news hooks called "node_insert" and "node_update".  Just
     like this is the case with the existing hook "node_delete" these
     new hooks will automatically get called when a node has been
     inserted or udpated.  Note that this is an optional call-back that
     only needs to be implemented when required.  With the addition of
     these two hooks, the node mechanism (version 1) is pretty well
     completed.

- watchdog.module:
   + Fixed bug whit the 'regular messages' query in the watchdog.module.

- book.module:
   + Fixed bug in book.module: the 'parent' was not set properly when
     updating a book page.
   + Made it so that older versions of a book page are automatically
     reactived upon deletion of the most recent version, i.e. when
     doing a version roll-back.

- comment.inc:
   + Undid Remco's patch to comment.inc; it does not work in some cases.


- conf.module:
   + Fine-tuned some of the options in conf.module a bit.

- marvin.theme:
   + Visual changes to make it look better on Windows browsers.  Mind
     to give some feedback on this?
   + Fixed 3 HTML typos/bugs.
   + XHTML-ified the theme at a best effort basis; I didn't carry the
     XHTML specification with me.
   + Made use of the theme_slogan variable to display the site's slogan.
   + As soon we have at least one valid XHTML theme we can wonder on how
     to integrate other XML namespaces (cfr. MathML story at drop.org).

- database.mysql:
   + Updated database.mysql so that it contains all the latest "database
     patches".

- Small visual update to watchdog.module.

- Updated CHANGELOG

- Added very basic 'filters' to the watchdog.module which should make it
  easier to sort through all the watchdog "noise".  I'm sure the current
  filters will do for 99% of all the Drupal sites though.

  (Sorry for the awful color scheme, Coney but I can't do any better.)
