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.
+ 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.
Committing Changes by Moshe Weitzman:
- admin_user_account(), user_edit(), and user_view() no longer have any
hard code for authentication modules. instead authentication modules
implement the _user hook.
- fixed a couple 'help' typos.
- linked the 'REGISTER' text in the login block to the register page.
this page now advertises DA better if site employs DA.
- admins may now edit everything about a user account (was a feature
request).
- user #1 may now login immediately, in addition to receiving his
password via email.
Other changes:
- modules and themes are now enabled/disabled in the administrative /
settings / modules | themes pages. Requires SQL update and things must
be enabled before your site returns to normal. TODO: enable all
functionality. (For now just do UPDATE system SET status = 1;)
- removed $themes from conf.php.
- added a $theme->system() function where theme can specify settings.
All themes in the Drupal CVS have been updated to use this.
- added _system hook to modules. TODO: update modules to use this.
- changed strange use of sprintf to the usual strtr. The disadvantage of
sprintf is that it requires translations to keep the string order,
which may not be possible in all languages.
- an invalid/nonexisting theme in a user profile will now fallback to the
BaseTheme instead of crashing.
login and one for user information.
- added link to help in book module (post-patch, see below).

Patch by Greg Tyrelle <greg@tyrelle.net>

range of databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and others.
For additional information and an 'how to upgrade', check the mails
sent to the mailing list.
- Redid settings.module and even renamed it to conf.module.
* Settings are now grouped in basic categories like "system
settings", "module settings" and "filters".
* Added new settings to make Drupal easier to configure and
to make some aspects like the watchdog scale better.
- Renamed includes/settings.php to includes/conf.php.
- Added filter support to conf.module and introduced filter hooks so
modules can implement and export new filters. Example filters are
an HTML filter (implemented), a profanity filter, an url converter,
ASCII smileys to images filter and so on ...
- Reworked the check_* functions: user contributed content/input is
only verified and filtered once in its lifespan.
NOTES
- Altough this is a large commit, no database changes are required.
