This adds session support for anonymous users and fixes a bug/typo.
1. changed rid for user #0 from 0 to 1 (rid 1 == anonymous user) to make
inner join work.
2. replaced "if ($user .." by "if ($user->uid .." because now $user is
always set (my previous change probably caused this).
3. db_next_id("user_uid") -> db_next_id("users_uid");

PostgreSQL and MSSQL database scheme as well.
- Made sure the update script updates the correct tables when database
prefixing is enabled. Patch by Bart Jansens.

Wittens.

- Introduced a 'more-link' class to position the 'more' links. Removed
hard-coded markup from the modules.
- Fixed bug in import module: the theme functions called a non-existing
function.
+ Dramatically improves performance of large discussions/threads: only
very few SQL queries are required.
+ Replaces custom pager with standard pager.
Modifications by me:
+ Reworded some code comments.
+ Removed dependencies on pager internals.
==> This fix requires to run update.php!

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.

+ 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.
- forum: fixed link to new topic
- forum: new topic shows default forum correctly
- forum: first_new is back; the anchor didn't consider multiple pages
- forum: use standard pager, needed some changes/fixes to pager.inc
- forum: some cleanup
- forum: taxonomy hook
- renamed first_new to simply new
- added an optional parameter to pager_query for the count query
- used the optional count param for paging forum topics
- internal change: moving a topic doesn't duplicate the node anymore but just
changes the forum (term); no change in functionality, and shadow still
works (suggested by Dries). This probably also made some queries somewhat
lighter.
- bug fixed: anonymous users always saw "n (n new)" in the replies column
- updated pager help and moved from _help to phpdoc
or "operation" link.
- Made the main page of the administration section show an overview of all
watchdog entries with such action link.
- Fixed typo in PostgreSQL database scheme.
- rewrote taxonomy_get_tree() for improved performance and cleaner code
- fixed a bug in _taxonomy_term_select() with multiple parents
- added hooks in vocabulary and term insert, update and delete
- fixed a bug in taxonomy_save_vocabulary() (cache_clear_all() was never
called)
- page_header() now adds Last-Modified and ETag http headers.
- When running PHP as an Apache module page_header() will check the HTTP
headers for conditional gets, and will only push the content when it
fails. (Works for html and xml pages as they are all cached). Note:
this is a PHP limitation, so until PHP makes it work for other web
servers this won't work for them.
- Added created field to cache database to hold the timestamp when the
cache was created.
- Changed cache_get() to return an object with ->data and ->created.
- Update forum and locale modules.
- Modules and themes now use the same functions to find and administer
files.
- Modules can now be placed in sub-directories.
- Theme descriptions can no longer be edited. This will be handled by
Dries' theme_conf patch.
- Update required to keep old modules enabled.
+ 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
}
}
changes include:
* a couple of coding style changes, renamed some "stats" into
"statistics", etc.
* removed the "Who's online" block from the user module.
* added db_affected_rows() to the resp. database abstraction
layers and made the statistics module use db_affected_rows()
instead.
* added update logic to "update.php".
