- Fixed braino in title.module; should fix bug #1966 reported by Moshe.

- Moved some CXX checks to a centralized place; less error-prone.

- Bugfix: small Xtemplate fixes.  Patch by Ax.  (Slightly modified.)

- Bugfix: block patch fix.  Patch by Gerhard.

- Bugfix: fixed broken URL in ping.  Patch by Gerhard.

  (This should fix the problems shown on http://www.blo.gs/info.php?id=1515.)

- Improvement: added better password generator.  Patch #1 by Al.  Fixes bug
  #1935.

- Improvement: performance improvement to the blog module.  Patch by Marco.

- Updated to ignore favicons.

- Show a non-clickable example "link" when previewing comments.  Should fix
  bug #1437 for all themes (incl. theme Marvin and theme UnConeD).

- 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: when clean URLs are enabled, the cookie path was not always set correctly when the
user logged using the user block from within a subdirectory.  Patch by Ulf Rompe.

Changed ancient drop favicon into a nice Druplicon, sizes 16x16 and 32x32, looks recognisable, they're (mostly) pixeldrawn.

- 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.

- Bugfix: an administrator could not edit the avator through the admin interface because it used the global $user object inside its functions rather then the user to be edited.  Patch by Matt Westgate.

- Bugfix: in the user_admin_edit() function, the data array returned from the callback modules was not being merged into the edit array.

- Bugfix: added enctype="multipart/form-data" to the form tag so that we can update things like the avatar image in the admin interface.

- Documentation improvements: improved and updated the block module documentation.  Patch #44 by Al.  We should add some real-life path examples!

- Fixed the "blog it" image size.  Patch #49 by Al.

- Some SQL performance improvements to the forum module.  This should also be more PostgreSQL safe.  Patch by me.

mysql> SELECT n.nid, n.created AS timestamp, u.name AS name, u.uid AS uid FROM forum f, node n LEFT JOIN users u ON n.uid = u.uid WHERE f.tid = 2 AND n.nid = f.nid AND n.type = 'forum' AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1, 0;
==> 0.63 sec

changed to:

mysql> SELECT n.nid, n.created AS timestamp, u.name AS name, u.uid AS uid FROM forum f LEFT JOIN node n ON n.nid = f.nid LEFT JOIN users u ON n.uid = u.uid WHERE f.tid = 2 AND n.nid = f.nid AND n.type = 'forum' AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1, 0;
==> 0.00 sec

- Bring back the "blog it" icon.  Patch #47 by Al.   Thanks.

  (I don't like the suggested icon so I suggest we continue to use the existing one, which I don't like either but oh well.  Thoughts?)

- Fixes CSS for archive calendar so that you can make non-link days padded
  in a sensible fashion. Also removes table width 100% and puts that in css.
  Patch #48 by Al.

- CSS fixes by Al.  Patch #45.

- Fixed two broken links in the "administration > content management >
  post overview" page.

- Made it possible to link search results.  Patch by Ax.

- Removed some high ASCII characters from the code.  Patch by Ax.

- Charset simpliciations.  Patch #46 by Al.

- Synced/unified the error reporting from database.mysql.inc and database.pear.inc.
  This makes debugging the PostgreSQL (and MSSQL) support somewhat easier.

- Fixed various forum module queries such that they work with PostgreSQL.

- Bugfix: fixed approval e-mail and tidied up the e-mail handling.  Patch #43 by
  Al.  Fixes bug #1828.

- Bugfix: added trailing slash to URL.  Patch #39 by Al.  Fixes bug #1848.

- CSS improvements.  Patch #38 by Al.

- Bugfix: fix glitch in menu rendering code.  Patch #42 by Al.

- Bugfix: clicking the "Login" button after having created the first user
  redirected you to an incorrect page.  Patch by Moshe.

- The calendar block was somewhat cramped compared to the rest of the site's layout.  Adding a small padding.

- Bugfix: if you clicked on an archive date in the calendar block and
  then select a new date via the form the block still displays the
  original click as the "selected" date.  Patch by Craig Courtney.

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

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

- Removed a redundant check_input().

- Added a function check_url() that CSS checks URLs (or parts thereof).

- Removed a bogus check_input().

  properly.  You couldn't use a username or passwords that had quotes.

- Bugfix: fixed problem when register globals is turned off.  Patch 0037.poll.register_globals.patch by Al.

  (Can't we make the result URL look nicer?)

Usability improvements to the Xtemplate theme by Kristjan and Al:

- added a subtle lineheight to nodes and #message

- removed specific link colors for taxonomy terms and node links. Found it confusing, specially in context with a:visited color.

- added a gray background, border and padding for <pre> tag, to make Drupal documentation pages more nicer.

- nested search form into <div>s in order to validate as XHTML Strict. Modified patch by Alastair.

- incorporated all of Alastair's patches to replace px-based padidngs with em-ones

- fixed the footer font size and Y-centered it

- removed class from seach <form>, put it in the surrounding <div> instead

- added class for submit

- simplified the search box's CSS, it is looking much more cleaner now

- Bugfix: fixed the login problem due to incorrect use of drupal_goto().
  Gerhard's patch was not 100% correct and I found a better alternative.
