CHANGES
-------
+ Introduced tabs. First, we extended the menu system to support tabs. Next, a tab was added for every link that was (1) an administrative action other than the implicit 'view' (2) relevant to that particular page only. This is illustrated by the fact that all tabs are verbs and that clicking a page's tab leads you to a subpage of that page.
+ Flattened the administration menu. The tabs helped simplify the navigation menu as I could separate 'actions' from 'navigation'. In addition, I removed the 'administer > configuration'-menu, renamed 'blocks' to 'sidebars' which I hope is a bit more descriptive, and made a couple more changes. Earlier, we already renamed 'taxonomy' to 'categorization' and we move 'statistics' under 'logs'.
+ Grouped settings. All settings have been grouped under 'administer > settings'.
TODO
----
+ Update core themes: only Xtemplate default supports tabs and even those look ugly. Need help.
+ Update contributed modules. The menu() hook changed drastically. Updating your code adhere the new menu() function should be 90% of the work. Moreover, ensure that your modue's admin links are still valid and that URLs to node get updated to the new scheme ('node/view/x' -> 'node/x').
+ Introduced two new functions:
1. form_set_error($name, $message): files an error against the form
element with the specified $name.
2. form_has_errors(): returns true if errors has been filed against
form elements.
+ Updated the form handling:
1. The form_ functions will add 'class="error"' when a form field
has been found to be erroneous.
2. The error message is passed to theme_form_element() when the
particular form field has been found to be erroneous.
+ I updated the user and profile module to take advantage of these new
functions.
+ IMPORTANT: the _user() hook changed. The 'validate' case should no
longer retun an error message when something goes wrong but should
set it with form_set_error().
administrators will be able to define a custom 403 page, just as they
can define 404 pages now.
This needs to be documented in the "Changes since / migrating to ..."
pages.
+ only adds an optional parameter to url() and l(), so individual links
can be set to be absolute
+ modifies drupal_goto() to accept the parameters of url() without the
$absolute parameter, so cleaner invocations can be used
+ rework of some code in node_feed, making it much better to look at
(the current code uses foreach with an immediate brake to get the first
key of the associative array, geeeeez)
+ added xml:base to the rss tag generated by node_feed()
+ set all user mail URLs to be absolute
+ fix a small fragmented URL in user.module
they will be part of the same documentation group, as well as created a new
'formatting functions' group and added a lot of docs for them. Also fixed
some small errors reported by the doxygen parser.
containing two elements, the first being the requested title, and the second being
the result list. Advantages:
* Cleaner search code in common.inc
* Po extraction is possible and works fine
* No hardcoded exceptions for node and comment modules, since any module can
return results in order of relevance (or another order)
- Adds drupal_set_header() and drupal_get_headers().
- Cache now stores custom headers.
- Replace theme_head() with drupal_get_html_head(), added drupal_set_html_head().
- Added RSS autodiscover links to node, blog and taxonomy pages.
+ Added drupal_http_request().
+ Replaced rssfeeds with OPML feed subscription list.
+ Added support for pubDate.
+ Added support for conditional gets using ETag and Last-Modified.
/**
* Wrapper around xml_parser_create() which extracts the encoding from the XML
* data first and sets the output encoding to UTF-8. This function should be
* used instead of xml_parser_create(), because PHP's XML parser doesn't check
* the input encoding itself.
*
* This is also where unsupported encodings should be converted.
* Callers should take this into account: $data might have been changed after
* the call.
*
* @param $data The XML data which will be parsed later.
*/
To do this cleanly, I reorganised some bits of system.module: there is now a generic handler available for simple variable-get/set based configuration pages. Look at filter_admin() or system_view() for example usage.

tags.
To be discussed and investigated: when a form element has no title an empty
<label> tag will be emitted (eg. "remember me" checkbox). This doesn't make
sense but is our best option for now.
+ Simplified cache logic in drupal_get_path_map().
+ Added check to see if errors should be reported to error_handler().
+ Use proper db_query() syntax in throttle(), and use $_ENV instead of
getenv().
+ Changed fix_gpc_magic() to use array_walk (C functions will always be
faster), and renamed _fix_gpc_magic_array() to _fix_gpc_magic().
+ Renamed $node in array2object() to $array.
+ Renamed $node in object2array() to $object.
+ Minor other coding method tweaks.
Contributed themes and modules need to be updated:
- modules: status() is no more; use drupal_set_message() instead.
- themes: use drupal_get_message() to check for status messages and
visualize them.
* fixes all doxygen warnings [#]_ in the current code base
+ changes @param style from phpDocumentor (@param type $var desc) to doxygen (@param $var desc)
+ documents all undocumented parameters
+ escapes / fixes html warnings
+ fixes @defgroup in theme.inc
* adds more groupings [#]_
+ drupal_{set|get}_title, drupal_{set|get}_breadcrumb
+ pager.inc: pager_api (pager_query(), pager_display()), pager pieces
* adds a new group "themeable" which contains all themeable functions.
Patch by Stefan.
- Usability improvement: introduced a form_group() function and updated
the node and comment module to take advantage of it. Patch #149 by
Eric Farris.
- Improvement: removed a left-over from Drupal 4.2.0 (dead code).
- Improvement: replaced hard-coded XHTML around the XML icons with class="xml-icon".
- Improvement: removed the custom navigation menus shown at the top of the "user information page" and integrated them in the new navigation block. The "my account" link in the navigation menu will unfold. Also removed the "delete account" link/functionality (for now).
- Improvement: fix for "magic quotes" settings. Patch by Steven. I also removed check_php_settings().
- Improvement: block themability improvements. Modified patch from Ax and Steve/CodeMonkeyX.
- Fixed bug #2617: editing user information does not work. Patch by Kjartan.
a reserved SQL keyword. Required for both PostgreSQL and MSSQL. Patch by
Adrian.
- Bugfix: renamed the 'path' table to 'url_alias' as 'path' is a reserved SQL
keyword. Required for both PostgreSQL and MSSQL. Patch by Adrian.
- Fixed bug #3642: removed duplicate settings from user page. Patch #14 by Moshe.
- Fixed bug #3503: added 'forum topic' link to the 'create content' menu. Patch
by Gobar. I think this might be more intuitive and consistent code-wise; I don't
want to introduce small hacks.
- Cache improvement: small cache improvement to prevent SQL errors. Patch by
Jeremy.
