+ Added drupal_http_request().

+ Added support for pubDate.
+ Added support for conditional gets using ETag and Last-Modified.
/**

* This is also where unsupported encodings should be converted.

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.
(based on the patch by Goba)
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.
Phase 2 of the menu system integration project. This unifies the interface
used by admin and non-admin pages, and deprecates the _page hook in favor of
explicit callbacks from menu(). Breadcrumbs, titles, and help text go away
as a result of this patch; they will return in the phase 3 patch, printed
by the theme.
- 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.

1) As explained by Al, there is still a glitch with the 'create content'
menu.
2) The user module part of the patch did not apply due to Kjartan's earlier
patch.

TODO:
- Some modules such as the buddy list module and the annotation module in the contributions repository are also using session_register(). They should be updated. We should setup a task on Drupal.
- There is code emitting '<div align="right">' which doesn't validate.
- Does our XML feeds validate with the charset changes?
- The forum module's SQL doesn't work properly on PostgreSQL.
- Made the import module use theme_item_list() instead of emitting the HTML
and CSS itself.
- Renamed the "blog-it" tag to "icon" so it can be used for other (but
similar) purposes.

Opera/Konqueror).

+ Updated the patches to use $foo["bar"] instead of $foo['bar'].
+ Updated the INSTALL and CHANGELOG files as well.
- Tiny improvement to the "./scripts/code-clean.sh" script.
blogroll feature as I think it would get very confusing. I don't mind
to add it but it need some thought and documentation as it somewhat
conflicts with the existing cloud module.
These changes require you to run update.php.
The syntax for db_query_range() was enhanced so it matches db_query(). So
you may pass extra arguments of the SQL statement which are checked via
check_query() and then substituted into the SQL statement. After these
optional arguments, you always pass $from and $count parameters which
define your range. Most often, the $from is 0 and the count is the max
number of records you want returned. Patch by Moshe.
- The pager_query() function for PEAR was enhanced so that it adds proper
GROUP BY statement counting the number of records to be paged. Patch by
James Arthur.
- MSSQL database scheme by Moshe.
The following modules need updating:
* glossary module
* feed module (Breyten's version)
* 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.
- The href target for a new window is "_new", not "new".
- Generating <div> sections within <p> sections is forbidden by the
XHTML standard. Using just the right aligned <div> should be
sufficient and makes XHTML themes possible.
(Prove at http://blog.rompe.org/ )
- While parsing the header of an RSS feed one should be aware that
there may be more <title> tags in subsections and that POSIX regular
expressions are always gready. So make shure we don't get too much.
(If you agree that using PCRE instead of the POSIX ones would be
generally a good idea, then I am willing to make the patch, but for
now I didn't want to mix POSIX and PCRE in one file.)
(Prove at http://blog.rompe.org/index.php?q=import/feed/43 , try
this feed without my patch)
- Some RSS 2.0 feeds don't have a per item <link> section but have the
permalink embedded in the <guid> section. This is not perfectly
correct and the documentation mentions this possibility only in the
examples, but since Dave Winer himself implements it this way it
will happen more than once. So, if there is no link available and
the guid looks like an address, then use that one.
(Prove at http://blog.rompe.org/index.php?q=import/feed/22 , try
this feed without my patch)
- Don't only write eventually new Feed Header information into the
database but also use them immediatly. Reuse the $feed array that is
made for it.
- If a feed doesn't provide per item titles, make shure to not produce
defective markup by cutting the remainder of an entity. Instead of
just cutting off anything behing the leading 30 characters of the
cleaned description, it seems slicker to use up to 40 characters and
split on word boundaries, but not on "&" or ";".
(Prove also at http://blog.rompe.org/index.php?q=import/feed/22 .
This feed will have title tags starting on February 1st, but I
suspect many others without them out there.)
With this patch one could consider Drupals aggregator RSS 2.0 ready.
+ Removed the "post content" permission and replaced it by more fine-grained permissions such as "maintain static pages", "maintain personal blog", "maintain stories", etc.
o Usability improvements to teasers:
+ Teaser forms are no more. Teasers are extracted automatically but can also be instructed using a delimiter "---". Furthermore, when a post it too short for a teaser, the user won't be bother with teaser stuff anymore.
+ Added an option to set the teaser length, or to disable teasers all together.
+ When previewing a post, both the short (if any) and the full version of a post are shown. This addresses a common complaint; for example, when writing a book page there was no way you could preview the short version of your post.
+ Forum posts can be teasered now. This is particularly helpful in the context of drupal.org where we promote forum topics.
o Bugfix: replaced all PHP short tags (<?) with long tags (<?php).
o Bugfix: removed hard-coded dependence on comment module.
o Bugfix: when the queue module was disabled, it was not possible to approve updated book pages.
o Bugfix: applied modified version of Marco's node_teaser() fix.
+ Blocks are not longer called if not rendered: major performance
improvement.
+ Fixed some bugs (preview option was broken, path option was broken).
+ Removed "ascii"-type blocks.
+ Added permission to for "PHP blocks"
+ ...
NOTES:
+ You'll want to run "update.php":
ALTER TABLE blocks DROP remove;
ALTER TABLE blocks DROP name;
+ You'll want to update your custom modules as well as the modules in
the contrib repository. Block function should now read:
function *_block($op = "list", $delta = 0) {
if ($op == "list") {
return array of block infos
}
else {
return subject and content of $delta block
}
}
- title of "blog it" item is used as default node title.
- added link to news feed admin pages on import_page.
- "blog it" link only shows when the blog module is available.
- removed admin options for queue and comment module if the modules are not
loaded.
- nodes are now auto promoted when queue module isn't enabled.
- moderation result block is now visible by the node author.
- fixed comment flat list view missing 1 comment.
- changed update.php around a bit.
* security check isn't in effect if the db hasn't been updated.
* instructions re-organized.
* fixed some minor updates.
- updated database.mysql done by UnConeD.
- changelog update.
