drupal 2.00, 15/03/2001
-----------------------
- rewrote the comment/discussion code:
* comment navigation should be less confusing now
* additional/alternative display and order methods have been added.
* modules can be extended with a "comment system": modules can embed the existing comment system without having to write their own, duplicate comment system.
- added sections and section manager:
* story sections can be maintained from the administration pages.
* story sections make the open submission more adaptive in that you can set individual post, dump and expiration thresholds for each section according to the story type and urgency level: stories in certain sections do not "expire" and might stay interesting and active as time passes by, whereas news-related stories are only considered "hot" over a short period of time.
- multiple vhosts + multiple directories:
* you can setup multiple drupal sites on top of the same physical source tree either by using vhosts or sub-directories
- added "user ratings" similar to SlashCode's karma or Scoop's mojo:
* all rating logic is packed into a module to ease experimenting with different rating heuristics/algorithms.
- added "search infrastructure":
* improved search page and integrated search functionality in the administration pages.
- added translation / localization / internationalization support:
* because many people would love to see their website showing a lot less of English, and far more of their own language, drupal provides a framework to setup a multi-lingual website or to overwrite the default English text in English.
- added fine-grained user permission (or group) system:
* users can be granted access to specific administration sections. Example: a FAQ maintainer can be given access to maintain the FAQ and translators can be given access to the translation pages.
- added FAQ module
- changed the "open submission queue" into a (optional) module
- various updates:
* improved account module:
+ user accounts can be deleted
+ added fine-grained permission support
* improved block module
* improved cron module
* improved diary module:
+ diary entries can be deleted
* improved headline module:
+ improved parser to support more "generic" RDF/RSS/XML backend
* improved module module
* improved watchdog module
* improved database abstraction layer
* improved themes:
+ W3C validation on a best effort basis
+ added example theme
* added CREDITS file
* added directory "misc"
* added new scripts to directory "scripts"
- revised documentation
