http://drupal.org/files/issues/error_messages_list.png (issue #9138).
drupal_set_message() has been changed to group message by type and a
helper function, theme_status_message(), is added to display the messages.
Chameleon and Xtemplate have been updated to use this new function.
- Updated CHANGELOG.txt.
stand out a bit better by using green-ish and red-ish colors, resp.
for 'success' and 'failure'.
- Small change to the way context-sensitive help texts are emitted -
the pages wouldn't validate in the presence of help texts with
block-level elements.
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').
made it possible to enforce a username/e-mail address. Based on
James Seng's work there are now 3 radio buttons:
( ) Anonymous users may not enter contact information
( ) Anonymous users may leave contact information
( ) Anonymous users must leave contact information
- Fixed a bug in the default theme_comment_view() function.
- Added permalinks for comments. Requested by Michael and Christina.
Maintainers of contributed themes might want to add permalinks too.
TODO:
- Fix the interaction design of the submission form: the page you are
directed to and the validation of the contact information.
- Changing the comment viewing options appears to be broken?
- 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.
