http://drupal.org/node/11517. I have done this using some command line magic:

find . -name README -exec cp '{}' '{}.txt' \; -exec cvs remove -f '{}' \; -exec cvs add '{}.txt' \;

I will update all occurences of 'README' to 'README.txt' in the conrtib CVS,
soon. I'll also rename LICENSE, CHANGELOG etc. files as soon as I get around
to it.

Fixed invalid conversion from char to int on field uid=1000(kevin) gid=103(family) groups=0(root),10(wheel),100(users),102(johntheripper),103(family).  Also, removed unneeded DEFAULT, NOT NULL for the auto_increment field

- Removed error watchdog messages

- Now uses tabs and the new menu system
- Updated to use form_set_error and friends
- Streamlined form processing: uses drupal_goto after submissions, avoiding issues with URLs and refreshing
- Double-quotes to single-quotes
- Uses drupal table functions for admin table

- Slightly improved admin UI

Intercept the short tip help request and remember that it means that the block should be displayed. Also remove the compose_tips hook and add a short and long tip instead

- Bugfix: theme("theme_error", ...) -> theme("error").

- Accessibility improvement: removed the border="0" attribute from the <img>-tags.
  The border attribute is deprecated according to the W3C.

- 4.3.0 patch by Matt Westgate (not sure if this works 100% with CVS, but at least it's better than the outdated one).

- Applied (modified) patch by Stefaan Nagtegaal (changes to the conditions where the smileys-block shows up).
- Fixed typo in compose_tips
- Fixed typoes and strangeness in the INSTALL file
(someone introduced redundancy into the text, causing it to explain *twice* to put the example smileys under 'misc/smileys'... I appreciate people modifying my modules when I'm not around, but please make sure it's correct.)

removed the enabled/disabled setting on the filters page since it is unlikely you want this module active but not enabled. we would probably confuse more people than we help by doing this.

improved the INSTALL doc slightly by instructing admins to copy sample images to proper directory.

- Fixed some old-time code-style issues (string concat operator)
- Changed the way smileys are defined. Now you can enter a list of space-separated smileys per image, rather than having to enter each possible acronym separately (requires minor database update, read 'INSTALL').
- Added title="..." attribute on top of alt="" (for W3C-compliant browsers ;)
- Wrapped form-url in url(...) call (otherwise not using clean-urls would break smileys-admin).
- Now uses status(...) in admin
- Added 4 more smiley images (cool, barf, jawdrop, die), but 'die' is not included in examples.mysql because a lot of people won't like it :evil:
- Recoloured tongue.png
- Updated INSTALL so it doesn't mention Drupal3 anymore :).

If you're running smileys on your site, try updating... though there might be couple of issues, I've been 'out of the running' for a while.

- Updated to work with register_globals turned off.  Patch by Michael Frankowski.

Changed smileys block title to make it much smaller in preparation for my assault on block management. :)
