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*
Currently pager_query() is the black sheep of the database query family, because it does not allow for printf-style arguments to be inserted in the query. This is a problem because it introduces developer confusion when moving from an unpaged query to a paged one, and it encourages substitution of variables directly into the query, which can bypass our check_query() security feature.
This patch adds this ability to pager_query(). The change is backwards-compatible, but a couple calls to the function in core have been changed to use the new capability.
http://drupal.org/files/issues/error_messages_list.png (issue #9138).
drupal_set_message() has been changed to group message by type and a
helper function, theme_status_message(), is added to display the messages.
Chameleon and Xtemplate have been updated to use this new function.
- Updated CHANGELOG.txt.
* The _validate hook and the _nodeapi('validate') hook of the node API (1) no longer take an 'error' parameter and (2) should no longer return an error array. To set an error, call form_set_error().
* The _form hook of the node module no longer takes a form hook and should not worry about displaying errors. Ditto for _nodeapi('form_post') and _nodeapi('form_pre').
+ Changed menu.inc to generate two separate lists instead of nested lists:
that seems to be the only alternative to get rid of absolute positioning.
+ Changed the tabs code to be more sexy and put the code in misc/drupal.css
so all themes are automagically updated.
CHANGES
-------
+ Introduced tabs. First, we extended the menu system to support tabs. Next, a tab was added for every link that was (1) an administrative action other than the implicit 'view' (2) relevant to that particular page only. This is illustrated by the fact that all tabs are verbs and that clicking a page's tab leads you to a subpage of that page.
+ Flattened the administration menu. The tabs helped simplify the navigation menu as I could separate 'actions' from 'navigation'. In addition, I removed the 'administer > configuration'-menu, renamed 'blocks' to 'sidebars' which I hope is a bit more descriptive, and made a couple more changes. Earlier, we already renamed 'taxonomy' to 'categorization' and we move 'statistics' under 'logs'.
+ Grouped settings. All settings have been grouped under 'administer > settings'.
TODO
----
+ Update core themes: only Xtemplate default supports tabs and even those look ugly. Need help.
+ Update contributed modules. The menu() hook changed drastically. Updating your code adhere the new menu() function should be 90% of the work. Moreover, ensure that your modue's admin links are still valid and that URLs to node get updated to the new scheme ('node/view/x' -> 'node/x').
