+ added RSS 0.91(5) feeds to the blog module which makes it possible
to both syndicate an particular user's latest blog entries, or the
latest entries of all users.
+ added $theme->images()
- blog.module:
+ improved user-friendliness and rewrote most of the output routines
+ made quoted text /italic/ by default
+ integrated discussion system like it should
+ ...
- marvin.theme:
+ small visual improvements
+ Fixed "rotten date" (as remco like to calls it).
+ Added "URL to monitor" field.
+ Added some error checking.
+ Apply the updates in 2.00-to-x.xx.sql.
+ fixed visual glitch with 'read more' link (blog comments)
+ made it possible to delete your last blog item
+ fixed timestamp bug when previewing a new blog
+ fixed potential problem with blog_save()
+ fixed a few HTML/XHTML tinkos.
- statistics.module:
+ "yoursite.com" should no longer show up under "external referrers"
+ fixed "Referers of the last 31 years 37 weeks 1 hour 46 min 40 sec" bug
+ xhtml-ified
- node.inc:
+ fixed watchdog message
- import.module:
+ small block improvement
+ feedback wanted
- Added updated import.module (contributed by Julian):
+ user page do browse the headlines by feed and bundle, to display
the item descriptions, etc.
- Fixed small bug in common.inc.
- Updated database.mysql
+ PHP-pages were rendered invalid under certain criteria.
- Fixed bug in meta.module:
+ When editing an existing node, the meta-field was not properly set
in the forms.
+ Made '$na' translatable on popular demand.
- node.module:
+ replaced a confusing configuration description, as suggested by
Remco.
- statistics.module:
+ Added a 'most recent referers'-table sorted by timestamp.
- drupal.module:
+ Small update of the links.
- Fixed tiny quote problem in account.php.
- Fixed tiny bug in comment.inc.
- Fixed tiny bug in comment.module.
- Fixed tiny bug in meta.module.
- Simplified user_access() API.
- Rewrote link system: still needs fine-tuning and testing so don't
upgrade if you are running a production site. ;)
Updated all modules and themes to reflect this change. All other
themes and modules need updating too!
+ the node scheduler did not un-schedule a node!
- Fixed comment bugs (as a result of the formification):
+ no signatures where being attached to the comments.
+ check_input was used where is should have been check_output,
with broken filters as the immediate result.
- Locale'd the day-of-the-week-letters. Don't worry, you won't find any "F" or "S" in your locale database, just "Friday" and "Sunday".
- Fixed a bug with 28/20-day months. Skipping a month ahead from e.g. January 31st would have you end up on March 3rd. Same for skipping backwards.
- Made the selected date always appear in bold.
- Prevented all skipping into the future. This was still possible by skipping whole months.
makes the ever-confusing "rehash modules" (see module.module) no
longer needed, hence making module.module redundant. :-)
- Removed module.module.
- Renamed conf.module to system.module, and added some information
about the available modules to system.module.
- Various small changes.
- Added import documentation: written by Gerhard, revised by Dries.
TODO:
- A quick introduction on content syndication needs to be written
for import.module.
- If some one who is native English could go over the these text,
please do.
(groups) and 'permissions' ... (inspired by Zope's system).
+ Once installed, click the help-link for more information.
+ See updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql for the SQL updates.
- Modified loads of code to use our new access.module. The system
still has to mature though: new permissions have to be added and
existing permissions need stream-lining. Awaiting suggestions.
- As a direct result of the new access system, I had to rewrite the
way the top-level links in admin.php are rendered and displayed,
and xhtml-ified admin.php while I was at it.
TODO
- Home-brewed modules need updating, home-brewed themes not.
(Examples: file.module, trip_link.module)
- As soon we *finished* the refactoring of the user system (KJ has
been working on this refactoring already) we should consider to
embed this role and permission code into account.module ...

- Modifed form_select() to accept an optional 6th parameter which is appeneded
to the select tag. $value can now also be an array. This allows for multiple
selects:
form_select($header, $name, $values, $options, $help, "multiple=\"true\" size=\"10\"");
- Updated account.module to use the extended form_select() functionality.
- Moved account_password() and account_validate() to user.inc.
- Greatly reduced the number of SQL calls in account_save() when editing an
account. Now uses one db_query() call instead of 1 + (2 * # of access
granted).
- Fixed access not being saved when account was added.
- Should now be possible to edit and add accounts. There were certain bugs
before that would cause odd errors.
+ renamed 'overview' to 'preview' as suggested by Kristjan.
- meta.module:
+ renamed 'verify' to 'preview' to make it consistent with
block.module.
+ fixed comma-bug with attribute list reported by Kristjan.
- node.module:
+ fixed typo: "id$nid" should have been "id=$nid"
it wasn't a good idea to split them up in first place, and it turned
out to be quite hard to decide where to put some variables.
Also moved some variables around and even renamed a few variables
while doing so.
- Added a page_header() and page_footer() to all top-level .php pages.
- Changed meta.module, node.module and index.php to use comma-seperated
lists of attributes rather then "foo=a,bar=b" lists. This makes it a
a lot easier to use both modules. In addition, error handling can be
discarded as it can't be made any simpler, really ...
It fits rather nicely in Drupal's design so I'm getting more and more
happy with this meta.module (but we are not 100% there yet).
- node.module, node.inc:
+ Improved the node-related admin interface so that navigating back
and forth the administrative menus is made both easier and faster.
+ Removed some redundant database fields from the node table. See
2.00-to-x.xx.sql!
+ Added 2 news hooks called "node_insert" and "node_update". Just
like this is the case with the existing hook "node_delete" these
new hooks will automatically get called when a node has been
inserted or udpated. Note that this is an optional call-back that
only needs to be implemented when required. With the addition of
these two hooks, the node mechanism (version 1) is pretty well
completed.
- watchdog.module:
+ Fixed bug whit the 'regular messages' query in the watchdog.module.
- book.module:
+ Fixed bug in book.module: the 'parent' was not set properly when
updating a book page.
+ Made it so that older versions of a book page are automatically
reactived upon deletion of the most recent version, i.e. when
doing a version roll-back.
- comment.inc:
+ Undid Remco's patch to comment.inc; it does not work in some cases.
- conf.module:
+ Fine-tuned some of the options in conf.module a bit.
- marvin.theme:
+ Visual changes to make it look better on Windows browsers. Mind
to give some feedback on this?
+ Fixed 3 HTML typos/bugs.
+ XHTML-ified the theme at a best effort basis; I didn't carry the
XHTML specification with me.
+ Made use of the theme_slogan variable to display the site's slogan.
+ As soon we have at least one valid XHTML theme we can wonder on how
to integrate other XML namespaces (cfr. MathML story at drop.org).
- database.mysql:
+ Updated database.mysql so that it contains all the latest "database
patches".
- Added a conf option to disable/enable user registrations.
- Added a add account feature to account.module.
- Moved some functions from account.php to account.module.
Todo
- Move most (all?) of account.php to account.module.
easier to sort through all the watchdog "noise". I'm sure the current
filters will do for 99% of all the Drupal sites though.
(Sorry for the awful color scheme, Coney but I can't do any better.)
associate different collections - think "combobox" here - with
different content types, all hardcoded references to "section"
have been removed and the admin-friendliness of the meta admin
section has been slightly improved.
I'll keep working on it during the weekend - if time allows me
to. Moreover, I'll focus on the usability/user-friendlines of
the meta admin section as well as graceful input-checking, and
error-handling.
Requires an SQL update, see updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql!
Index.module will be removed, or meta.module will be renamed as
soon we can ditch one of them. For now, having both coexist is
not going to harm your setup and is useful to make a comparison
and / or to migrate from index.module to meta.module.
Index.module is de-coupled form the rest of the system so you
will have to use meta.module after having upgraded. You have
been warned.
- Updated CHANGELOG.
http://site/export.php?book&node_id
The export feature should be expanded to allow titles to be used, and made
more flexible. Will look more at this during the weekend.
streamlined the existing code, added new watchdog type called "httpd"
for Apache errors. The latter should make it easier to add watchdog
filters later on.
- Clarified some watchdog messages.
'=' instead of ';' and ':'. It is considered to be more readable.
--> A _first_ step towards and improved index.module. Stay tuned
for more.

If you update from CVS - apply the queries in 2.00-to-x.xx.sql!
- Changed all 'attribute' to 'attributes'.

+ Important:
This might require to ieni-wieni small update to your custom
themes and/or node-related modules:
- themes: node_index($node->attribute) -> node_index($node)
- node modules: attribute -> attributes
update, you'll break your site as you need switching from structure
to index.module: so this can be considered an intermediate commit.
If you upgrade, and you are welcome to, just create a collection
called "section" (for now) and assign your nodes some attributes
in the described format.
Feedback and bugreports are welcomed. Questions will be answered.
CHANGES:
- comment system:
+ when replying to a node (rather then to a comment), that
node is displayed above the reply form.
+ when replying to a comment (rather then to a node), that
comment is displayd above the reply form.
- removed structure.inc, removed structure.module.
- node.inc:
+ added 2 new node functions called 'node_attribute_edit()' and
'node_attribute_save()' used to 'hook in' any indexing system
including your home-brewed stuff if you'd want to. Currently,
index.module is the facto default index system.
See story.module for usage.
- book.module, story.module, poll.module, page.module, forum.module:
+ added preview functionality to administration section (via node
module).
+ removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).
- moderate.module:
+ removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).
- book.module, story.module, page.module, forum.module:
+ increased the sizes of some textareas.
- submit.php:
+ removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).
- marvin.theme:
+ removed dead code: function story() was depricated.
- unconed.theme:
+ removed hardcoded references to drop.org.
- marvin.theme, unconed.theme, jeroen.theme, yaroon.theme, example.theme:
+ removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).
TODO:
- file.module, trip_link.module:
+ update preview functionality:
see story.module for example.
+ remove references to 'cid' and 'tid', use 'attribute' instead:
see story.module for example.
- extend and build upon index.module as well as making it configurable
+ we no longer wrap the output in a $theme->box(). If you want it in
a box, just use $theme->box().
+ increased the sizes of the main "body"-form to make editing larger
pages easier.
- Slightly improved the parsing algorithm; in some cases, were tags
have attributes, things went wrong. We ignore attributes for now
as we don't do anything with those.
Example:
<item rdf:about="http://foo.com"></item>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Improvement to node listings.
- Patched story.module to work with new node.module!
NOTE:
- UnConeD: poll.module needs updating. Let me know if you want me to do
it as I assume you will update it unless otherwise mentioned.
- Added improved node scheduler:
+ Automatically post node at date 'xx/xx/xx, xx:xx'.
+ Automatically queue node at date 'xx/xx/xx, xx:xx'.
+ Automatically dump node at date 'xx/xx/xx, xx:xx'.
Requires a database update, see ./updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql!
- Refactored the admin interface of node.module. It is only a start
but it should show the direction we are going.
+ The new interface is easier to extend with new functionality
and operations. New "edit xxx" links can easily be added on
our way.
+ The new interface tries to cover all content- or node-related
functions. Thus making a special admin interface for each new
node type redundant. To demonstrate this, I removed the admin
hook from page.module and forum.module. This removes quite a
bit of logic from the invidual modules which is a good sign if
you ask me.
A centralized GUI or interface covering all node-related
administration should make Drupal easier to administer.
TODO:
- All node-related nodes need updating. This should be trivial and
I'll hapilly tackle this later tonight.
- There will be bugs, and I'm still working on this but I would like
to get some feedback (from Natrak et all) on both user-friendliness
and usability of this new interface. I'm still working on it as we
speak ...
structure.module either needs work, or replacement by index.module:
see "admin > node > node settings".
It will do for now and it can always made better when we can think
of a better solution; it is the best I could think of. Now what?
index.module or structure.module? I'm currently pro index.module.
- Drastically simplified "variable.inc".
- Removed most dependecies on structure.module from all content related
modules. Thus making our modules more modular. ;)
- Fixed calculation glitch in queue.module.
- Fixed potential function name clash/conflict in rating.module, and
simplified some code on my way.
- Started removing all global variables $status and $rstatus. Global
variables are "yucky" so in near future, we will replace all global
$status variables by a call to node_status(). Originally, $status
was only introduced as a temporary hack and nothing is as permanent
as a temporary hack so I took it out when still possible.
- Changed the watchdog messages a bit.
- Removed headline.module: it became obsolete.
- Removed backend.class: it became obsolete.
- Added export.module.
For now, you can use:
1. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rss
2. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rdf
- Renamed export to export.php.
For now, you can use:
1. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rss
2. http://drupal/export.php?headlines.rdf
Renaming this file has main 3 advantages:
1. We no longer rely on .htaccess for being able to export.
2. It is more conform with the general naming conventions.
3. It removes a pseudo-hack with formatting the URI.
- Made import.module export blocks with feeds.
headline code is still in place 'till the new code has proven
to be stable. See "syndication.module" for the new code.
Changes:
+ Improved the parser and tested it against RSS 0.9, RSS 0.91,
RSS 0.92, RSS 1.0, RDF and XML feeds.
+ Improved the administration interface. It might be a bit fuzzy
at first. Maybe some native English like Julian, Michael (or any
one else with knowledge in the field) can help out by suggesting
better naming, terminology or descriptions - as well as by
writing the help section for this module? I'd have no idea how
much this would be appreciated.
+ We can *easily* recognize new tags or extensions: we parse out
"link", "title", "description" and "author" right now, but we
will have to revise which tags to support and which not. New
tags can be added in less than 10 minutes (if you are familiar
with the code). Read: we have something we can build on.
+ Within each item, tags can now appear is random order which is
or was not the case with the old headline code where we expect
<link>s prior to <description>s for example.
+ Feed updates only (ie. always) happen through cron. Neither do
we use one global cron for updating all feeds; instead, every
feed can specify his own update-interval.
+ Newly fetched headlines are "appended" to the pool of existing
headlines (read: we don't replace the whole feed), and headlines
automatically "expire" after x days or hours. (Every headline
has a timestamp.)
+ Got rid of backend.class; it is integrated in the module.
+ Switched to more generic names: "headline" became "item" and
"backend" became "feed". This should ease future non-headline
oriented syndication.
+ You can associate attributes or keyword lists with every feed.
At the moment new items will automatically inherit their feeds
attributes but in future we can use heuristics to make these
attributes "mutate" when and where we see fit. The attributes
can be maintained by hand as well.
+ We don't export any blocks yet; we will soon do as soon this
new code has been tested for a bit more. We will only export
bundles though so if you want to export by feed/source, you
will have to make a source-specific bundle.
- Polished a bit on a few other modules: nothing major.
for the different content types. These weights are used when
calculating each user's gravity. This is a required step before
we can even think of "nodifying" the diary or headline module.
- Polished a bit more on the other modules' crons.
- Fixed a bug in node.php: UnConeD forgot to update 1 node_get_object().
- I changed the look of theme_morelink() a bit: it might not look better,
but at least the output is "correct".
- Various small improvements.
- 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.
It's mainly intended as a sideblock-element as there's no real use in having them show up on the mainpage. There's no real poll-browsing system for now either.
I still need to write documentation, and I'm not yet satisfied with the node-output (non-sideblock). I should be able to improve it once the $theme->nodebox ideas get finalized.
- Rewrote the cron system. Removed cron.module and moved all cron
related options to settings.module. Cron was a confusing thing:
it has been made simpler both in terms of code and configuration.
+ You had to rehash your modules to make the cron show up in
the list. This is no longer required.
+ You couldn't tell what cron "watchdog" or cron "story" were
up to. Instead, we now display a clear description message
for every cron involved.
+ The user interface of setting.module - and the admin section
in general, looks a bit ackward but I couldn't care less and
don't want to see this improve at the time being.
- Improved setting.module:
+ Now uses variable_set().
+ Added some help and documentaition on how to setup cron.
- Improved ./export.
- Updated CHANGELOG.
TODO:
- I'm now going to look into UnConeD's question with regard to
check_output() and $theme->node(), as well as the filter and
macro stuff. I'll probably be fine-tuning setting.module a
bit more on my way.
- Simplified field_set() API.
- Made UnConeD's cool common timestamp format conform with the
general coding style. Sorry to be so picky about this but I
really can't help it. ;)
this information to the "users"-field in both nodes and comments.
This database/table change reduces the number of SQL queries and
makes Drupal scale better where a lot of voting/moderation takes
place. Last but not least it can be considered a new and better
foundation for future moderation metrics / algorithms. In other
words: it is plain better.
--> oops, all voting/moderation results will be lost!
--> requires database update, see "2.00-to-x.xx.sql"!
- Updated database/database.mysql
