+ Fixed CSS to use the same format as the rest of drupal.css.
+ Added fallback routine for menu icons.
+ Fixed anonymous users not seeing the menu.
+ Added proper access checks for admin and help menu items.
- 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.
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.
- Improved the breadcrumb navigation of the book and the forum module as per
Keith Instone's suggestions.
- Updated page titles (or block titles) and links to match. Suggested by
Keith Instone.
- Added missing 'thread' field to the comment table of the MySQL database scheme.
Fixes bug #2590.
Wittens.
- Renamed some column titles in the forum module as per Moshe's suggestion.
- 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.
2) Beautified the forum module views; rewritten to use the table() rendering functions, X HTML-ified the emitted code, added additional CSS tags, and removed hard-coded markup. This improves themeabality; it should be able to mimic the view and color scheme of, say, http://www.phpbb.com/.
3) Reorganized forms and links (interactive elements) to improve usability. Also ensured that the link names and page titles match.
4) Temporary removed container functionality: this simplified the work and eliminated some usability issues.
- Improvement: some small changes to the user module to ease translation and to make things slightly more consistent. This should be a better alternative for patch #54.
- Improvement: increase the maxlength of the node title. This should fix bug #2018 and #2176.
Gerhard.
- Improvement: CSS improvements. Patch #40 by Al.
(TODO: we might be able to simplify admin.css now both drupal.css and
admin.css are included to render administration pages. Tags like "body"
and friends can probably be inherited.)
- Improvement: renamed some theme functions of the forum module for sake of consistency/readability. Patch #2 by Kristjan.
- 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.
- Bugfix: when an anonymous user visits a site, they shouldn't see any content (except the login block, if it is enabled) unless they have the "access content" permissions. Patch by Matt Westgate.
- 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.
- Improvement: don't generate the <base href=""> tag in the base theme; it is already emitted by theme_head(). Patch by Kristjan.
- Improvement: don't execute any SQL queries when checking the permissions of user #1. Patch by Kjartan.
- Improvement: made a scalable layout form that works in IE and that behaves better with narrow themes. Part of patch #51 by Al.
- Improvement: removed some redundant print statements from the comment module. Modified patch from Craig Courtney.
- Fixed the "blog it" image size. Patch #49 by Al.
- Some SQL performance improvements to the forum module. This should also be more PostgreSQL safe. Patch by me.

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.
hard-coded form elements. Modified patch by Kristjan.
I added some CSS to drupal.css to center the text and ordered the
list of CSS tags alphabetically.
to avoid XSS attacks! Patch by Al, Moshe, Marco, Kjartan and me.
- 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.

Patch by Moshe.

Reported by Kjartan.

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
CSS but apparently others browsers such as Konqueror do.
- Xtemplate improvements: changed the color of the selected day in the
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?
- Made the import module use theme_item_list() instead of emitting the HTML
and CSS itself.
- Renamed the "blog-it" tag to "icon" so it can be used for other (but
similar) purposes.
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).
admin.css:
* Removed border-bottom for menu list items. The only work around to retain
the border-bottom on lists with nested items is to use divs rather than li
tags as far as I know. I think the list items are still readable this way.
* Made title of site in sidenav more differentiated from menu.
* Made color changes so that all headings are the same hue (navy bluish).
* Modified th text-align: left; for better readability. Modified
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; Black addded visual noise.
* Modified tr.dark background-color: #ddd, tr.light background-color: #fff;
* Changed all colors to #xxx three number hex shortcuts.
* Added hr rule to make horizontal rules have height: 1px; color: #ccc;
admin.php:
* Added 1 line to admin.php to include <link rel="stylesheet" ...>. The
stylesheet refers to a misc/print.css stylesheet which may not exist in your
misc/ directory. This fixes the flash of unstyled content that users of Win
IE 5+ are experiencing. You can use this to specify print styles if you
like. See more about this here: http://www.bluerobot.com/web/css/fouc.asp
