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.
and adds a user notice to add the throttle and bootstrap columns to the
system table manually, else update.php will not run. The message includes the
SQL statements required for both MySQL and PostgreSQL.

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."
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.

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.
+ Dramatically improves performance of large discussions/threads: only
very few SQL queries are required.
+ Replaces custom pager with standard pager.
Modifications by me:
+ Reworded some code comments.
+ Removed dependencies on pager internals.
==> This fix requires to run update.php!

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.

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.
blogroll feature as I think it would get very confusing. I don't mind
to add it but it need some thought and documentation as it somewhat
conflicts with the existing cloud module.
These changes require you to run update.php.
- forum: fixed link to new topic
- forum: new topic shows default forum correctly
- forum: first_new is back; the anchor didn't consider multiple pages
- forum: use standard pager, needed some changes/fixes to pager.inc
- forum: some cleanup
- forum: taxonomy hook
- renamed first_new to simply new
- added an optional parameter to pager_query for the count query
- used the optional count param for paging forum topics
- internal change: moving a topic doesn't duplicate the node anymore but just
changes the forum (term); no change in functionality, and shadow still
works (suggested by Dries). This probably also made some queries somewhat
lighter.
- bug fixed: anonymous users always saw "n (n new)" in the replies column
- updated pager help and moved from _help to phpdoc
or "operation" link.
- Made the main page of the administration section show an overview of all
watchdog entries with such action link.
- Fixed typo in PostgreSQL database scheme.
- rewrote taxonomy_get_tree() for improved performance and cleaner code
- fixed a bug in _taxonomy_term_select() with multiple parents
- added hooks in vocabulary and term insert, update and delete
- fixed a bug in taxonomy_save_vocabulary() (cache_clear_all() was never
called)
- page_header() now adds Last-Modified and ETag http headers.
- When running PHP as an Apache module page_header() will check the HTTP
headers for conditional gets, and will only push the content when it
fails. (Works for html and xml pages as they are all cached). Note:
this is a PHP limitation, so until PHP makes it work for other web
servers this won't work for them.
- Added created field to cache database to hold the timestamp when the
cache was created.
- Changed cache_get() to return an object with ->data and ->created.
- Update forum and locale modules.
- 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.
+ Blocks are not longer called if not rendered: major performance
improvement.
+ Fixed some bugs (preview option was broken, path option was broken).
+ Removed "ascii"-type blocks.
+ Added permission to for "PHP blocks"
+ ...
NOTES:
+ You'll want to run "update.php":
ALTER TABLE blocks DROP remove;
ALTER TABLE blocks DROP name;
+ You'll want to update your custom modules as well as the modules in
the contrib repository. Block function should now read:
function *_block($op = "list", $delta = 0) {
if ($op == "list") {
return array of block infos
}
else {
return subject and content of $delta block
}
}
changes include:
* a couple of coding style changes, renamed some "stats" into
"statistics", etc.
* removed the "Who's online" block from the user module.
* added db_affected_rows() to the resp. database abstraction
layers and made the statistics module use db_affected_rows()
instead.
* added update logic to "update.php".
- updated update.php and database.mysql disable a few more modules by default.
Without the config options in place to disable things this might confuse users.
- fixed comment flat list view missing 1 comment.
- changed update.php around a bit.
* security check isn't in effect if the db hasn't been updated.
* instructions re-organized.
* fixed some minor updates.
- updated database.mysql done by UnConeD.
- changelog update.
or disabled as it will cause errors otherwise.
- split status into status and custom. Status will turn the block
on/off, and custom defined if the user can change the status.
Requires sql update.
- reintroduced user page to configure blocks.
for the meta system. The patches add some extra functionality to the
comment system (for example, comments can be set read-only) and fix a
couple of small problems.
+ I integrated the required SQL updates from the varius *.mysql files
into the "update.php" script. Upgrading should be easy ...
+ I did not apply/commit the "user.diff" as requested by Marco ...
+ I didn't know what to do with "forum.module" and "forum2.module":
what do you want me to do with it Marco? Which one should go in?
+ Can we remove "node_index()" now; both from "node.module" and the
themes?
+ Thanks Marco!
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.
- added who is online block.
- made weblog module more configurable.
- users may now delete their own accounts (Feature #8)
- users may now request a password using email address *or* username.
formerly required both items to match an account which was onerous.
- the link to request a new password is now presented whenever a user
fails login.
- there is now a confirmation message after submitting edits to your
user information.
- error messages in user.module may now be stylized by themes.
- <hook>_form has a $param setting you can fill with form parameters.
- improved wording for a few config settings.
- fixed various non-coding standard things.
SQL update. See below for more details.
- Merged the file "cache.inc" into "common.inc".
- In addition, I renamed the field 'url' in the cache table to
a more generic 'cid' (cache identifier). It's no longer for
URLs only.
- Made the "cache_set()" function ASNI compliant such that it
will play nice with other databases such as Postgres.
- Added some extra input checking.
- Updated the old caching code in the functions "page_header()"
and "page_footer()" to use the new, generic cache API.
- Updated "update.php" to make the required SQL changes.
+ Improved input filtering; this should make the news items look
more consistent in terms of mark-up.
+ Quoted all array indices: converted all instances of $foo[bar]
to $foo["bar"]. Made various other changes to make the import
module compliant with the coding style.
- theme.inc:
+ Fixed small XHTML glitch
- comment system:
+ Made it possible for users to edit their comments (when certain
criteria are matched).
+ Renamed the SQL table field "lid" to "nid" and updated the code
to reflect this change: this is a rather /annoying/ change that
has been asked for a few times. It will impact the contributed
BBS/forum modules and requires a tiny SQL update:
sql> ALTER TABLE comments CHANGE lid nid int(10) NOT NULL;
+ Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
comment.module where it belongs. This also marks a first step
towards removing/reducing "node.php".
+ Added a delete button to the comment admin form and made it so
that Drupal prompts for confirmation prior to deleting a comment
from the database. This behavior is similar to that of deleting
nodes.
+ Disabled comment moderation for now.
+ Some of the above changes will make it easier to integrate the
upcomcing mail-to-web and web-to-mail gateways. They are part
of a bigger plan. ;)
- node system:
+ Made it so that updating nodes (like for instance updating blog
entries) won't trigger the submission rate throttle.
+ Fixed a small glitch where a node's title wasn't always passed
to the $theme->header() function.
+ Made "node_array()" and "node_object()" more generic and named
them "object2array()" and "array2object()".
+ Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
comment.module where it belongs. This also marks a first step
towards removing/reducing "node.php".
- misc:
+ Applied three patches by Foxen. One to improve performance of
the book module, and two other patches to fix small glitches in
common.inc. Thanks Foxen!
+ Added (1) support for "PHP pages" (dynamic pages), and (2) made
it possible to link other node types into the book's tree/outline.
It works just fine, yet the only (obvious) downside of (2) is
that the navigation tree/links gets "interrupted" when you view
non-book pages in the book.
[SQL update required, see update.php]
+ Tidied up the book table.
[SQL update required, see update.php]
- various updates:
+ Fine-tuned the new node system.
+ Updated the inline/code documentation.
+ Improved teaser handling of all node types.
+ Made several small usability improvements to the node admin
pages.
* added a new update method to create the authmap table, to move
the old 'jabber' and 'drupal' field in the users table to this
new authmap table, and to remove users and node left-overs.
