1) Menu problems with Postgres (this is a highly critical 1 line fix)
2) Archive module fails with Postgres
3) Postgres setup problems - changes to database.pgsql (although i made these changes myself before finding this patch)
4) Book module fails with Postgres
5) Postgres problems following creation of a new type of user - which is actually about a taxonomy.module bug.
6) Creating accregator_item_table in PostgreSQL
7) Postgres - Polls not displayed on Poll Page
8) Blog module has sql errors with postgres
This should not affect MySQL users (hopefully).
Upload.module
- Fixing a bug caused by the PHP5 patches.
Beware: PHP4's array_merge() will silently accept objects and convert them to arrays. We should not depend on this behaviour in the future.
File.inc / file-using modules:
- Removing the constant FILE_SEPARATOR: forward slashes work fine on Windows, and it was being used incorrectly as an URL separator sometimes.
- Adding @ to mkdir and chmod to supress ugly PHP errors. They are already reported with drupal_set_message().
- Fixing default for variable 'file_directory_temp'.
- Clarifying the help tip for 'file_directory_temp' in admin > settings.
- Fixing broken .po import (due to file.inc changes).
- Do not show error notice on import page when no languages have been added (no longer necessary due to ability to add-and-import in one step).
- Added a notice about importing possibly taking a while.
- Raised the PHP execution time limit for importing (if not in safe mode, similar to cron.php).
- Fixed separate styles: added theme_get_styles() and the xtemplate {styles} tag to make sure stylesheets get included in the right order (drupal-specific, template-specific, style-specific).
- Fixing missing class on screenshots.
- Renamed drupal_get_theme_setting() and drupal_get_theme_settings() to theme_get_setting() and theme_get_settings().
- Changing theme('image') so the automatic image size fetching can be toggled independently from attributes. Specifying attributes and autosizing are 2 different things.
- Suppressing PHP errors from getimagesize() using @. drupal_set_message() is used to report these errors already and in a much prettier way.
- #9958: Fixing broken displaying of avatars.
- Don't show the default avatar in 'edit my account' if the user has no avatar of his/her own.
- Added ability to delete avatars (without having to replace them).
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.
Here's an overview of the changes:
1) Multiple Input formats: they are complete filter configurations (what filters to use, in what order and with which settings). Input formats are admin-definable, and usage of them is role-dependant. For example, you can set it up so that regular users can only use limited HTML, while admins can free HTML without any tag limitations.
The input format can be chosen per content item (nodes, comments, blocks, ...) when you add/edit them. If only a single format is available, there is no choice, and nothing changes with before.
The default install (and the upgrade) contains a basic set of formats which should satisfy the average user's needs.
2) Filters have toggles
Because now you might want to enable a filter only on some input formats, an explicit toggle is provided by the filter system. Modules do not need to worry about it and filters that still have their own on/off switch should get rid of it.
3) Multiple filters per module
This was necessary to accomodate the next change, and it's also a logical extension of the filter system.
4) Embedded PHP is now a filter
Thanks to the multiple input formats, I was able to move the 'embedded PHP' feature from block.module, page.module and book.module into a simple filter which executes PHP code. This filter is part of filter.module, and by default there is an input format 'PHP', restricted to the administrator only, which contains this filter.
This change means that block.module now passes custom block contents through the filter system.
As well as from reducing code duplication and avoiding two type selectors for page/book nodes, you can now combine PHP code with other filters.
5) User-supplied PHP code now requires <?php ?> tags.
This is required for teasers to work with PHP code. Because PHP evaluation is now just another step in the filter process, we can't do this. Also, because teasers are generated before filtering, this would result in errors when the teaser generation would cut off a piece of PHP code.
Also, regular PHP syntax explicitly includes the <?php ?> tags for PHP files, so it makes sense to use the same convention for embedded PHP in Drupal.
6) Filter caching was added.
Benchmarking shows that even for a simple setup (basic html filtering + legacy URL rewriting), filtercache can offer speedups. Unlike the old filtercache, this uses the normal cache table.
7) Filtertips were moved from help into a hook_filter_tips(). This was required to accomodate the fact that there are multiple filters per module, and that filter settings are format dependant. Shoehorning filter tips into _help was ugly and silly. The display of the filter tips is done through the input format selector, so filter_tips_short() no longer exists.
8) A more intelligent linebreak convertor was added, which doesn't stop working if you use block-level tags and which adds <p> tags.
- Users who have not edited their account yet would be reset to GMT rather than the sitewide timezone.
- Users who chose GMT (zero timezone) on a site with a non-zero timezone as default would have incorrect timezone.
Modules can be stored anywhere, as there is now a set of functions called module_get_filename, and module_set_filename .. which allow system_listing and module_list to specify the locations of the files.
A new function module_load_all() replaces the hardcoded includes in module_init, and loads all modules which have been enabled, using module_load.
module_listing no longer includes files itself, instead it just keeps the listing (and sets the filenames).
This patch is a requirement for the multisite configuration patch, as overriding modules are currently being loaded due to the only protection of loading them is include_once.
The headers stored for cached pages ended in a newline, which caused header("") to get called when serving the page.
On some PHP versions (happens on 4.3.3 at least, but not in 5.0), PHP adds a blank header to the HTTP request (i.e. just \r\n) which ends HTTP headers prematurely and adds a newline at the beginning of the page.
This was not an issue before because we output HTML. Now that we have GZip compression, this bug caused corruption of the output. :P
*phew*
