- Made the text files Windows-friendly.

- Code improvements by Mathias: made the path module use drupal_set_message().

- Made the logo sink to the baseline.

- Patch 5592 by Goba: introduced a new function, drupal_map_assoc().

  by UnConeD.

  + only adds an optional parameter to url() and l(), so individual links
    can be set to be absolute
  + modifies drupal_goto() to accept the parameters of url() without the
    $absolute parameter, so cleaner invocations can be used
  + rework of some code in node_feed, making it much better to look at
    (the current code uses foreach with an immediate brake to get the first
    key of the associative array, geeeeez)
  + added xml:base to the rss tag generated by node_feed()
  + set all user mail URLs to be absolute
  + fix a small fragmented URL in user.module

- Patch 5789 by TDobes: added avatar support to the Xtemplate theme.

- Usability improvement: print a message if you are (not) allowed to print
  forum topics.

- Patch 5729 by Goba: removed dead code from page.module.

- Patch #5744 by JonBob: tablesort does not call theme("image") correctly.

- Patch #5766 by Moshe: replace getenv() with $_SERVER.

- Patch 5775 by Goba: fixes the only error currently reported by the doxygen
  parser in Drupal core, plus fixes some errorneous (copy-pasted) doxygen docs.

- Avoid SQL queries if possible.

Fix bad default timezone format for timezone display. Would cause a bug on sites that haven't been configured completely yet.

- Small CSS change to make paragraphs more natural.

See: http://drupal.org/node/view/5741

- Added a welcome message written by Steven.

- Changed some double quotes to single quotes.

  Uses drupal_set_message() so the message doesn't interfeer with non-HTML
  formats (posting using blog API etc).

Patch 5554 by Goba (slightly modified):

  - Modifies _user_mail_text() to automatically override the default
    strings when needed and apply t() on the strings. This lets Drupal translators
    include default messages in translations, and also removes a lot of repeated code.
    Modified the internal $messageid of the approval message from
    welcome_approval_body/subject to approval_body/subject, so automatic variable
    name computation can be done. This does not affect any variable table keys, since
    the change was especially done to keep the variable names...

  - Adds %login_uri and %edit_uri to move away from the concatenation approach used in
    the default messages, thus making those messages visible for the .po extractor

  - Uses direct return in help text generation when no more action need to be taken
    on the help string (the '$output .=' approach was just plain silly looking and
    misleading, since there was no preceding or appended string in $output)

- Patch #5708 by Goba: moved the URL aliasing functions to a common place, so
  they will be part of the same documentation group, as well as created a new
  'formatting functions' group and added a lot of docs for them.  Also fixed
  some small errors reported by the doxygen parser.

- Fixed typo introduced by last archive module patch.

- Patch #5613 by Goba: fixed translation issue with archive module and removed
  some locale module code that is now part of extractor.php.

- Refined the regex to validate the input.

- Small bugfix.

- Batch two with profile module improvements:
   + Reworked the 'account administration' page.
   + Fixed bug in the 'edit account' page.
   + Removed some dead code from the system.module.

   + Tidied up the profile configuration page: grouped form elements.

   + Tidied up the block configuration settings: removed hard-coded
     table.

   + Changed the profile API to return the preferred group name, and
     changed the user module to group settings.  Modules implementing
     the _user hook will need to be udpated.

   + Removed register_form and register_validate for now.

- Patch #5501: fixed invalid HTML in the comment and tracker module.

- Usability improvement: changed 'messages' to 'logs'.

- Bug 4853: fixed invalid taxonomy query.

- Patch #5569 by mathias: fixed jumpy menu behavior with konqueror.
