drupal x.xx, xx/xx/xxxx
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
- major overhaul of the entire underlying design:
|
|
* everything is based on nodes: nodes are a conceptual "black box" to couple and manage different types of content and that promotes reusing existing code, thus reducing the complexity and size of drupal as well as improving long-term stability.
|
|
- rewrote submission/moderation queue:
|
|
* renamed submission.module to moderation.module
|
|
* updated submission forms
|
|
- removed FAQ and documentation module and merged them into a "book module":
|
|
* allows collaborative book writing
|
|
- removed ban module and integrated it in account.module as "access control":
|
|
* access control is based on much more powerful regular expressions (regex) now rather than on MySQL pattern matching.
|
|
- rewrote watchdog and submission throttle
|
|
- rewrote section code and renamed it to structure.module:
|
|
* supports both "categories" and "topics" (cfr. Scoop, SlashCode)
|
|
* added "auto-post new submissions" feature versus "moderate new submissions".
|
|
- added settings.module:
|
|
* moved most configuration options to the administration section
|
|
- added page.module:
|
|
* allows creation of static (and dynamic) pages through the administration interface
|
|
- added help.module:
|
|
* groups all available documentation on installed modules on a single page.
|
|
- added cvs.module and cvs-to-sql.pl:
|
|
* allows to display and mail CVS log messages as digests.
|
|
- various updates:
|
|
* introduced links/drupal tags: [[link]]
|
|
* added preview functionality when submitting new content (such as a story) from the administration pages.
|
|
* made the administration section only show those links a user has access to.
|
|
* made all modules use specific form_* functions to guarantee a rock-solid forms and more consistent layout.
|
|
* improved account module:
|
|
+ added "access control" to allow/deny certain usernames/e-mail addresses/hostnames
|
|
* improved comment module:
|
|
+ made it possible to permanently delete comments
|
|
* improved rating module
|
|
* improved story module:
|
|
+ added preview functionality for administrators
|
|
+ made it possible to permanently delete stories
|
|
* improved themes:
|
|
+ W3C validation on a best effort basis
|
|
+ removed $theme->control() from themes
|
|
+ added theme "goofy"
|
|
- collaboratively revised and expanded documentation
|

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 theme "example" (alas "Stone Age")
|
|
* added new scripts to directory "scripts"
|
|
* added directory "misc"
|
|
* added CREDITS file
|
