#420358 follow-up by Dave Reid: Rename profiles default => standard and expert => minimal, for consistency with labels.

- Patch #502190 by jhodgdon, stella, sun: hook implementation headers out of compliance with standards.

#509398 by adrian: Turned install profiles into modules with full access to the Drupal API. Almost all WTFs/minute now removed from install profiles. Woohoo! :D

- Patch #545356 by Damien Tournoud: sidebars were broken in install.php, update.php, and the expert profile due to a previous patch that made the sidebar regions more semantic for RTL support.

- Patch #524728 by David_Rothstein, JoshuaRogers, JacobSingh et al: refactor install.php to allow Drupal to be installed from the command line.

- Patch #428744 by Gabor: make the main page content a real block and clean up some of the content API.

- Patch #273137 by pwolanin, David_Rothstein, chx, et al: split navigation to user and administration menu. Will require follow-up patches.

#310863 by bangpound, dboulet, and catch: Stop locale module from auto-installing with custom install profiles.

  The "expert" will be a minimalistic profile for developers.  This opens
  the doors to add more things to the default profile and/or to create
  additional install profiles for core. It also helps set an example for
  more install profiles in the contributed modules repository.

- Patch #197765 by boydjd et al: renamed 'story' to 'article' -- further backed by usability testing at UoM.

#199400 by ChrisKennedy: use the SERVER_NAME as default site name, instead of the misleading 'Drupal' name

 - possible timeouts with installing/enabling lots of modules at once in core
 - enable install profiles to have more modules without fear of timeouts on install
 - bootstrap Drupal before each module load, so previously enabled modules are bootstrapped
 - let modules run their hook_requirements() (although actually calling them will be possibly fixed in another patch)

 - use a two pass localization process so localization is ready for the configure form and profile tasks
 - fix awkward form API workarounds which were introduced before we used a full bootstrap anyway
 - allow for more usable localized profiles by letting them skip language selection
 - lots of documentation improvements to profiles and the installer functions

#178581 by lot of contributors: opt-in for update module on install and update to avoid any privacy concerns

  Woot, woot! :)

revert requirement for 'update' module, which is not yet in Drupal core, but slipped in with http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=71956

- Patch #141637 by merlinofchaos, gabor, et al: provide a site config form at the end of install to collect data, plus allow profiles to modify and add more.

- Patch #63881 by kbahey and jakeg: improved Drupal's logging functionality.  Added support for external loggers, and included a small syslog module into core.

- Patch #34755 by chx et al: faster menu system.  HEAD is temporary broken and there is no upgrade path yet.
