TODO:
+ The contact.module was broken; a new patch for contact.module is needed.
+ Documentation is needed.
+ The most important modules need to be updated ASAP.
We added a 'severity' column to watchdog():
watchdog($type, $message, $link) --> watchdog($type, $message, $severity, $link);
* Specify a severity in case you are reporting a warning or error.
* The $link-parameter is now the fourth parameter instead of the third.
TODO: document this in the upgrade guide.
Read the manual for pg_escape_string: "Use of this function is recommended instead of addslashes()." Or read sqlite_escape_string: "addslashes() should NOT be used to quote your strings for SQLite queries; it will lead to strange results when retrieving your data."
- Fixing broken .po import (due to file.inc changes).
- Do not show error notice on import page when no languages have been added (no longer necessary due to ability to add-and-import in one step).
- Added a notice about importing possibly taking a while.
- Raised the PHP execution time limit for importing (if not in safe mode, similar to cron.php).
The new locale module provides every functionality on the web interface, so you don't need to edit the configuration files or add columns, when you add a new language. This module is an integration of the old locale and localegettext modules, plus a bunch of logic to parse Gettext Portable Object files (opposed to Machine Object files, as supported by localegettext).
Note: I made some minor changes to the context-sensitive help texts and to some of the status messages.

More functionality, less code. Here is a list of the changes:
- Some user API changes:
+ When $type is 'form', you have to return an associative array of groups. In turn, each group is an array with a 'title', 'data' and 'weight'.
+ A new $type has been added, namely 'categories'. User settings can be organized in categories. Categories can be sorted, as can the groups within a category. (Ordering 'categories' is somewhat broken due to a bug in the menu system.)
- The 'my account > edit' page will use subtabs for each 'category'. Read: you can break down the account settings into multiple subpages.
- Profile module improvements:
+ Added support for private fields to the profile module!
+ Improved workflow of profile administration pages.
+ Improved the form descriptions.
- Code improvements:
+ Unified user_edit() and user_admin_edit().
+ Unified and cleaned up the validation code. Fixed some validation glitches too.
