|
|
------------------------
|

|

|
|
* supports unlimeted amount of nested topics. Topics can be nested to create a multi-level hierarchy.
|
|
- rewrote configuration file resolving:
|
|
* Drupal tries to locate a configuration file that matches your domainname or uses conf.php if the former failed. Note also that the configuration files got renamed from .conf to .php for security's sake on mal-configured Drupal sites.
|
|
- added caching support which makes Drupal extremely scalable.
|
|
- added access.module:
|

Drupal 2.0.0, 2001-03-15
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- 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.
|
|
