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.
+ Updated the _user() hook's "$type == 'view'" case to match the
"$type == 'edit'" case. That is, both have to return an associtive
array of the format array('category' => 'fields').
+ Updated the profile pages to group fields by category. Made possible
thanks to the above change.
+ Moved logic out of the theme_ functions.
+ Added a 'created' field to the users table and renamed the 'timestamp'
fied to 'changed' (cfr. node table). Update.php will try to determine
a 'created' timestamp for existing users.
+ The profile module no longer uses serialized data but has its own set
of tables. Known existing profile data is migrated by these new tables.
TODO: migrate the birthday field.
+ The profile fields can be grouped, and within each group, profile fields
can be sorted using weights.
+ The profile pages can be themed.
+ The profiles can be browsed based on certain properties/settings.
+ Change the _user hook: (i) 'private_view' and 'public_view' are merged
into 'view' as there are no private fields and (ii) 'edit_form' has
been renamed to 'edit'.
+ Avatar handling has been refactored and is now part of the user module.
The users table has a dedicted 'picture' field.
+ Simplified the way themes should use display/visualize pictures or
avatars.
+ Made it possible for administrators to replace or delete avatars.
+ ...
I hope this make for a good base to build on collectively.
- System: the 404 setting instructions advise using 'node', this should be '' (redirecting the user to the front page without any message whatsoever is confusing)
+ Tidied up the profile configuration page: grouped form elements.
+ Tidied up the block configuration settings: removed hard-coded
table.
+ Changed the profile API to return the preferred group name, and
changed the user module to group settings. Modules implementing
the _user hook will need to be udpated.
+ Removed register_form and register_validate for now.
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)
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.
Phase 2 of the menu system integration project. This unifies the interface
used by admin and non-admin pages, and deprecates the _page hook in favor of
explicit callbacks from menu(). Breadcrumbs, titles, and help text go away
as a result of this patch; they will return in the phase 3 patch, printed
by the theme.
- Translation fix: made the word 'permission' translatable in the system module' help text. Patch by Goba.
- Translation fix: the ping module's help text was translated twice. Patch by Goba.
1) As explained by Al, there is still a glitch with the 'create content'
menu.
2) The user module part of the patch did not apply due to Kjartan's earlier
patch.
are those that have the "bypass input data check" permission set. Should
address bug #2147.

of bug #2097.
- Bugfix: fixed broken URL in the book module documentation.
==> This fix requires to run update.php!
- Bugfix: made sessions work without warnings when register_globals is turned off. The solution is to use $_SESSION instead of session_register(). This fixes critical bug #1797. Patch by Marco.

- Bugfix: fixed charset problems. This fixes critical bug #1549. Patch '0023.charset.patch' by Al.

- CSS improvements all over the map! Patch '0021.more.css.patch' by Al.
- GUI improvements: improved the position of Druplicon in the admin menu. Patch '0020.admin.logo.patch' by Al.
- GUI improvements: new logos for theme Marvin and theme UnConeD. Logos by Kristjan Jansen.
- GUI improvements: small changes to the output emitted by the profile module. Suggestions by Steven Wittens.
- GUI improvements: small fixes to Xtemplate. Patch '0022.xtemplate.css.patch' by Al.
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.
- 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 $foo['bar'].
+ Updated the INSTALL and CHANGELOG files as well.
- Tiny improvement to the "./scripts/code-clean.sh" script.
The following modules need updating:
* glossary module
* feed module (Breyten's version)
* mailhandler module
* notify module
* project module
* smileys module
* admin module
* style module
* taxonomy_dhtml module
To avoid unexpected problems menu_add() is deprecated (it will print an
error message when used) and menu() should be used instead.
- Removed all instances of '$user->nodes'.
- Committed Moshe's taxonomy patch - minus the node_compact_list() bit. It needs a bit more thought/work. This patch changes the links of taxonomy pages/feeds so update your custom code and themes accordingly!
Themes should now use "taxonomy_link("taxonomy terms", $node)" to get an array of taxonomy term links. The old construct is deprecated and should be changed.
// old theme blob:
if (function_exists("taxonomy_node_get_terms")) {
foreach (taxonomy_node_get_terms($node->nid) as $term) {
$terms[] = l($term->name, NULL, array(), "or=$term->tid");
}
}
// new theme blob:
if (module_exist("taxonomy")) {
$terms = taxonomy_link("taxonomy terms", $node);
}
// old URL:
http://foo.com/index.php?or=1,2
// new URL:
http://foo.com/?q=taxonomy/page/or/1,2
- Changed cache API.
- Fixed caching bug in comment.module. Odd this hasn't been reported yet.
- Fixed caching bug in forum.module.
- Fixed caching bug in system.module.

- Simplified caching support in forum.module thanks to improved cache API.
- Modules and themes now use the same functions to find and administer
files.
- Modules can now be placed in sub-directories.
- Theme descriptions can no longer be edited. This will be handled by
Dries' theme_conf patch.
- Update required to keep old modules enabled.
