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.
configurable! Menu items can be disabled, repositioned, added and
so on.
Upgrading to requires you to run update.php.
This functionality depricates some of the 'navigation modules' in the
contributions repository. Furthermore, modules can now 'suggest'
menu items and site adminstrators can choose to enable them. Modules
in the contributions repository should try to take advantage of this.
+ 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 support for new tags:
+ Optinal feed image: <image> tag.
+ Dublin core dates: <dc:date> <dcterms:created>, <dcterms:issued>,
<dcterms:modified>.
- Usability improvements:
+ On the administration page, made the feed/bundle titles link
to the feeds/bundles' pages. On the feed/bundle's page, made
the 'Last updated' field link to the administration page.
+ Moved the 'syndication' menu one level down.
- Updated some content sensitive help.
- Further improved themeability.
- Fixed some invalid HTML.
+ 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.
/**

*
* 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.
(based on the patch by Goba)
1. Remove the theme object. There is no need to keep it around since meta
information for a theme can be retrieved via list_themes(). All we really
need is the theme name.
2. Check if the user selected theme is enabled during theme initialization.
This is the easiest place to put the check and doesn't mess with the user's
settings. Their database profile will still contain the disabled theme
selection, but they will be rendering the default admin-selected theme
until their chosen theme is once again activated.
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.
- Adds possibility to hide menu item when it has no children. (Fixes the
node/add problem when user doesn't have access to create any node
types.)
- More doxygen comments.
+ 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.
+ Changed drupal_page_header(): converts the If-Modified-Since header into a
timestamp and compares against the cache data. Ignore If-Modified-Since
and ETag headers if they are present but empty.
+ Few minor other code cleanups.
+ removes the lots of pagers and indirect pager themeing
+ add the theme_pager() function, which should be called as
theme("pager", ...) to get a pager.
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.
+ block_list() (in block.module): returns an array of block objects for
$region.
+ theme_blocks() (in theme.inc): uses block_list() and theme("block") to
actually render them.
Advantages:
+ Decouples blocks content and layout, allows block_list() to be used
for non-output purposes (think "pull").
+ Unifies naming in theme.inc: render_blocks()) didn't really fit there.
+ Puts block_list() in blocks.module where it logically belongs.
- Removed some cruft from the Xtemplate theme. Patch by Ax.
Some TODO's:
* The sidebars of theme Marvin and theme UnConeD look unstyled.
* CSS-ify theme UnConeD so we can remove the class around the functions.
* Rewrite theme_init() not to use a class and simplify theme()
accordingly.

the menu system.)
- Made sure the menu does not render links with no callback and no children.
Like this, the 'create content' link is not being shown when the user has
no permission to add any content.

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");

I repeat:
"This adds session support for anonymous users and fixes a bug/typo."
- Made sure the 'Topic' title is only shown above the topics, not the icons.
- Automatically shorten the username when it is too long. I implemented this
as part of format_name() and could therefore nuke some code in the
statistics module. This is change is somewhat experimental and I'm willing
to revert or change this if a number of people aren't too happy with this
behavior.
- Left align the dates and authors: makes it easier/faster to scan.
- Made the little tablesort arrows clickable.
- Applied modified version of mathias' 0073 patch: node form name.
$params["options"] is now an array so some contrib modules might
need minor changes.

- Improvement: usability improvements to the Xtemplate theme. Patch #3 by Kristjan.
- Improvement: CSS'ified the book module pages. Patch #3 by Al. (I simplified the "l
ocation" part. Al's approach gave you a bit more power but I'm not sure anyone wants
to change that. Besides, this will change as soon we integrate the menu system so I kept it easy for now.)
- Bugfix: fixed the defaults for blocks in database.mssql so the NOT NULL fields get values. Patch by Kjartan.
- Bugfix: changed check_form() to use htmlspecialchars() instead of drupal_specialchars() as this caused Drupal to emit incorrect form items in presence of quotes. Example:
<input type="submit" class="form-submit" name="op" value="Submit "top nodes" block changes" />
IMO, drupal_specialchars() is better called xmlspecialchars() to avoid confusion.

- Improvement: improved the error checking and the error messages in the profile module. Updated the code to match the Drupal coding conventions. Modified patch from Matt Westgate.

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.

- Bugfix: the admin module does now import drupal.css prior to admin.css.
Patch by me.

removed this as it is been taken care of by theme_head(); Patch by me.
- Bugfix: made the tracker module's pager only consider published pages.
Patch by Moshe.

Marco.

Reported by Kjartan.
- CSS improvements: made the HTML output emitted by the tracker module
look nicer. Patch by Moshe and Al.
- CSS improvements: added CSS classes for form elements. Patch by Al.
- CSS improvements: added a vertical gap between the last form item and the
submit button. Patch by Al. Note that Opera 6 is not picking up this

archive module's calendar. Patch by Al.
- Usability improvements: made the "birthday" field of the profile module
look nicer. Patch by Al.
------
- TODO: it might be a good idea to emit the following meta tag in the
theme_head() function:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Currently, some themes (and modules!) emit this while others don't. This
would also make it possible to change the charset site-wide.
- TODO: now we added support for td.dark and td.light to drupal.css, maybe
it can be removed from admin.css as well as xtemplate.css?
components such as lists, form items, removes an ugly hack from the
archive module and should fix the poll problem (although it doesn't
Opera/Konqueror).
a little hack that sometimes patches the request_uri(); I don't think
this should trigger in first place. If it does, let me know the URL of
the form as well as the referring page. (If this needs fixing after all,
fixing this _inside_ request_uri() might be a better solution.)
of the "footer" hook (and because of the existence of the page module).
This caused the node view counter to be incremented twice per page view,
the cache being set twice, etc. Quite a bug.
- Fixed a typo in the MSSQL database scheme. Patch by Michael Frankowski.
- Removed dependency on "register_globals = on"! Patches by Michael Frankowski.
Notes:
+ 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.
