Geeklog History/Changes:

 Oct ??, 2009 (1.6.1)

 ------------

 - The user's time zone selection (from My Account) is actually used now [Dirk]

 - Changing the Post Mode in Advanced Editor mode selected the wrong tab

   (bug #0000980, patch provided by dengen)

   [dengen, Dirk]

 - When an anonymous commentor left a name, use it in the comment notification

   email (bug #0000960) [Dirk]

 - Removed the CSRF token from all links to edit a comment. We only need it in

 - For anonymous comments, use the anonymous user's name from the database, not

   from the language file (cf. bug #0000960) [Dirk]

 - The session and password cookies are now created with the HttpOnly flag set

   to make it somewhat harder to read them from JavaScript (requires browser

   and the Story Options block [Dirk]

 - In the install script, always open db-config.php and siteconfig.php in

   binary mode to avoid EOL character mixup on Windows (bug #0000730) [Dirk]

 - Avoid SQL error with certain db dumps during migration (bug #0000955) [Dirk]

 - Plugin migration was only called when the plugin also needed an upgrade

   (bug #0000947) [Dirk]

 - The Migrate option in the install script now also works on an existing

   database (feature request #0000945) [Dirk]

 - Comment notifications used the phrase "Read the full article" when pointing

   sending the user back to migrate.php (bug #0000943) [Dirk]

   displaying the date and time in search results [Dirk]

   [Dirk]

 - When creating Pingback excerpts, convert the other site's content to our

   site's character set, when necessary [Dirk]

 - New function COM_getTextContent converts HTML into continuous text. Used for

   a more accurate "read more" count for articles and to improve the text

   excerpts for search results and pingbacks [Dirk]

 - Use COM_numberFormat to format the number of registered and anonymous users

   displayed in the Who's Online block [Dirk]

 - Use $LANG_ADMIN['na'] instead of hard-coding 'N/A' in several places [Dirk]

 - For Remote Users, display their service name in the User Editor [Dirk]

 Calendar Plugin

   in event.php [Dirk]

   older versions worked correctly (cf. feature request #0000754) [Dirk]

 - Added support for meta tags and meta keywords, provided by Tom Homer

 Aug 30, 2009 (1.6.0sr2)

 ------------

 This release addresses the following security issue:

 - Unauthorized file uploads were possible through FCKeditor.

   Uploaded files still had to go through FCKeditor's filter, so it was not

   possible to upload scripts (and the integrity of the Geeklog site as such was

   not in danger). There were, however, reports that this was used to host

   malware.

   This update prevents use of the upload feature when FCKeditor is disabled and

   disables it for anonymous users. It also doesn't allow uploading of archive

   files any more. Furthermore, you need some sort of "edit" permission now to

   be able to upload files through FCKeditor (this is meant as an interim

   measure - we will probably introduce a separate "upload" permission in future

   Geeklog versions).

 Not security-related:

 - Fixed installation using InnoDB tables [Dirk]

 - Links plugin: Fixed wrong function name in the autoinstall.php file

   (bug #0000954)

 - Fixed an SQL error (due to a missing global declaration; not exploitable) when

   the commentcode field was auto-updated (reported by Jokke_K) [Dirk]

 This release also includes updated Hebrew (provided by LWC) and German language

 files.

 Jul 30, 2009 (1.6.0sr1)

 ------------

 This release addresses the following security issues:

 - Gerendi Sandor Attila reported an XSS in the forms to email a user and to

   email a story to a friend.

 - The "Mail Story to a Friend" function didn't check story permissions, so that

   it was possible to email a story even if you didn't have the permissions to

   view it on the site.

 Not security-related:

 - Fixed an SQL error (due to a non-initialized variable; not exploitable) when

   the story submission queue was off (reported by Dieter Thomas) [Dirk]

 - Fixed calls to a nonexistent function COM_outputMessageAndAbort (should have

   been COM_displayMessageAndAbort) [Dirk]

 the 2007 Google Summer of Code:

 + New user-friendly install script by Matt West

 + New Configuration GUI (replacing config.php) by Aaron Blankstein

 + New Webservices API based on the Atom Publishing Protocol by Ramnath R. Iyer

 Changes since 1.5.0rc2:

 - Users that used a different theme than the site default would see the site

   switch temporarily back to the site's default theme when changing a config

   option. This was a side effect of the fix for bug #0000648 [Dirk]

 - In a tradeoff between security and convenience, we decided to go with

   security: The install script will no longer display the database credentials

   from db-config.php. The downside is that you will have to enter them again

   when doing a database upgrade or re-running the install (reported by Mark

   Evans) [Dirk]

 - Links plugin: The word "Root" wasn't taken from the language file for the page

   title of the public list of links (reported by Markus Wollschläger) [Dirk]

 - Fixed remaining places where the Admin panels had inconsistent layouts:

   Calendar list of events, Polls editor (bug #0000650) [Dirk]

 - Updated Hebrew language file, provided by LWC

 - Updated German language files, provided by Markus Wollschläger

   provide more space for the Japanese and German translations [Dirk]

 - Fixed bug #0000647: All modifications of usersettings should go through

   CUSTOM_usercheck [Blaine]

 - Removed hard-coded <ul> tags from the functions for the Admin, User, and

   Topics blocks. Added new blockheader-list.thtml, blockfooter-list.thtml

   template files for those blocks [Blaine]

 - Removed the fake {blockid} for the block templates as it was actually derived

   from the block title, resulting in layout changes when you changed the block

   title. It also didn't work properly with non-ASCII languages. Updated

   style.css and the block templates accordingly [Blaine]

 - Fixed setting the site's default language and default theme (bugs #0000646

   and #0000648) [Aaron, Dirk]

   settings (reported by Michael Brusletten) [Dirk]

   denied" message [Dirk]

 - Hard-coded the text direction as "ltr" for some input fields and the date/time

   selection in the story editor (bug #0000150). Also removed "text-align:left"

   for the HTML body from the Professional theme's style sheet as it interferes

   with the ability to switch the text direction (reported by LWC) [Dirk]

 - Removed references to config.php from the documentation, some READMEs, and

   some source files (bug #0000627) [Dirk]

   centerblock.thtml template file and defined the {lastupdate} and {hits}

   variables there (bug #0000628) [Dirk]

 - Removed an extra } from the Static Pages staticpage.thtml template file

   (reported by Markus Wollschläger) [Dirk]

 - COM_hit() is now called from COM_siteFooter() instead of doing the UPDATE SQL

   directly (reported by Joe Mucchiello) [Dirk]

   modules which prevented the count of deleted spams from being incremented

   character for the regexp [Dirk]

   registration, story and comment submission as well as the contact user and

   email story forms. These hooks can be used to add CAPTCHAs to those forms,

   but may also come in handy for other plugin applications.

   Also modified several template files to include a {captcha} variable to ease

   installation of Mark's CAPTCHA plugin.

 - Update the timestamp for the last run of PLG_runScheduledTask before calling

   the function to minimize the risk of the call being triggered more than once

 - Editing a story did reset the trackback count (reported by T. Marquez) [Dirk]

 - In the admin's story editor, set the debug option for the image upload only

   when $_CONF['debug_image_upload']  = true (thus avoiding the "Warning: File #x

   on the HTML form was empty" messages in error.log) [Dirk]

 - Renamed [calendar:] autotag back to [event:] for backward compatibility. It

   also makes more sense this way, since it does provide a link to an event, not

   a link to a calendar (bug #619) [Dirk]

 - Need to check if field 'etids' is NULL (for MySQL 4) for the Daily Digest

   (bug #595) [Dirk]

   by Laugh) [Dirk]

   of the locale settings, e.g. $_CONF['date_en'] and $_CONF['date_de'] to

   overwrite $_CONF['date'] depending on the current language [Dirk]

 - When installing the Geeklog database using InnoDB tables, create a

   'database_engine' entry in gl_vars, so that plugins know to use InnoDB for

   their tables. Updated the bundled plugins to act accordingly [Dirk]

 - DB_query will now (optionally) accept an array of SQL request strings from

     (via the {rel_links} variable)

   (returns false when on the site's index page). Use COM_onFrontpage instead

   from now on [Dirk]

 - Fixed check for new stories from archive topic [Dirk]

 - Call PLG_templateSetVars() from STORY_renderArticle() so we can have custom

   variables in the story templates [Dirk]

 - Updated Chinese language files (traditional and simplified), provided by

   Samuel M. Stone

 - Updated Japanese language files for Geeklog and all the plugins, provided

   by the Geeklog Japanese group

 - Updated Ukrainian language files (Windows-1251, KOI8-U, and UTF-8 encoding)

 - Corrected SQL for group counting in Admin menu for root admin to fix bug #573

   [Oliver]

 - Moved the defines for STORY_ARCHIVE_ON_EXPIRE and STORY_DELETE_ON_EXPIRE to

   lib-story.php (from config.php) where they make more sense [Dirk]

   comments. (bug #591) [Dirk]

 - Users who were only in the Syndication Admin group didn't have access to

   Command and Control (moderation.php) [Dirk]

   the respective entries they can actually see (instead of the number of all

   entries, e.g. topics, in the system) [Dirk]

 - Fixed highlighting parse error when the search term contained an apostrophe

   (bug #590) [Dirk]

 - Improved (and subsequently fixed) Pingback spam detection which now also uses

   the $_CONF['check_trackback_link'] settings [Dirk]

   by gape

 Calendar plugin

 ---------------

 - Created a dedicated stylesheet file and include the file only if the URL

   contains the word 'calendar' [Oliver]

 - Tweaked the Calendar search result listing: Removed the Event Description

   (usually too long for the result listing), replaced Location (which is only a

   part of the address and not very helpful) with Event Type, minimized Date &

   Time display for events lasting only one day (don't list date twice) [Dirk]

 Links plugin

 ------------

 - Renamed classes block-vote-results to poll-vote-results and block-vote to

   poll-vote [Oliver]

   trying to edit such a link, though) [Dirk]

 - Don't return the number of links in the links submission queue if the

   current user does not have links.moderate permissions [Dirk]

 - Filter out special characters from link IDs. They were properly escaped

 ------------

 - Changes to templates and CSS to remove deprecated HTML (align= and valign=)

   Removed un-used CSS declarations, redundant font-family declarations

   edit permissions for the story's topic (bug #558) [Dirk]

   old users and allows mass-deletion of those [Oliver]

 - Updated FCKeditor to version 2.3.1 [Blaine]

   Allows users to easily see only user groups. When editing non-core groups,

   You can select if this group is an Admin Group [Blaine]

 - Added ability to multi-select submission queue items on the moderation page

   and delete them all at once [Blaine]

 - Always make "Submissions" the first entry in the Admins Only block to keep

   the correspondence between the other entries and the icons on the moderation

 - Added support for Microsoft SQL Server, provided by Randy Kolenko

 - Added a spam check to the email user form [Dirk]

 - Use the same piece of code to compare plugin version numbers in lib-admin.php

   and admin/plugins.php to avoid the "update" button not appearing for some

   version numbers (bug #542) [Dirk]

 - Re-implemented $_CONF['allow_domains'] whitelist (when the user submission

   queue is enabled) that was inexplicably missing from 1.4.0 [Dirk]

 - Merged User Preferences and Account information into one page, like the

   Story editor with tabs etc. [Blaine, Oliver]

 - Tried to make "3 new stories in the last 1 day" sound less awkward by going

   back one unit, i.e. "3 new stories in the last 24 hours", in the What's New

   block (likewise for 1 week, 1 month, etc.) [Dirk]

 - Introduced config options to set the default for the story's draft flag

   and frontpage option (feature request #163) [Dirk]

 - Introduced $_CONF['hide_main_page_navigation'] to hide the "Google paging"

   from index.php (may be useful for some layouts) [Dirk]

 - Allow (optional) usage of autotags in "normal" blocks (can be enabled /

   disabled per block) [Dirk]

 - Introduced a {story_counter} variable in the story templates. It's 0 on the

   etc. on the index page (per page, i.e. starts with 1 again on the second page)

   [Dirk]

 - Require that users enter their current password when changing their password,

   email address or "Remember me for" setting. Redesigned the Account Information

   page and added a note about this requirement. [Dirk]

 - Prevent accidental banning of users when the Admin edits a user's information

   using a theme that wasn't updated for Geeklog 1.4.0+ [Dirk]

 - $_CONF['show_fullname'] now works as expected, i.e. when setting it to = 1,

   a user's full name will be displayed everywhere in Geeklog instead of the

   username (assuming the users entered their full name) [Dirk]

 - Fixed a bug in the article directory where December was not listed when no

   stories had been posted in that month (reported by Kino and Ivy of geeklog.jp)

   from a story to prevent the (verbatim) tag to show up in the block [Dirk]

 - Update story ids in the gl_trackback table when a story's id is changed [Mike]

   don't have to retype everything in case of an error [Dirk]

 - In the Admin's user list, banned users are indicated by striked-through

   entries (based on a hack by Andy Maloney) [Dirk]

 - Added new setting $_CONF['onlyrootfeatures']. This is for sites where two or

   more story admins can feature stories that the other admins cannot see. The

   setting prevents that one admin does not see that there is another recent

   story featured and sets one by himself, "stealing" the feature from the other.

 - Changed "Reply"-button to "Post a comment" [Oliver]

 - Implemented an error handler to supress all PHP level errors and display a

   much more userfriendly error text to the end user. Prevents all path exposure,

   prevents "white error page" mystery debugging fun. [Mike]

 - Full sweep of all code for $_REQUEST/$_GET/$_POST and $_COOKIE use. Made sure

   that COM_applyFilter, or other safe usage is made of the variables. [Mike]

   (new config option $_CONF['hide_no_news_msg']) [Dirk]

   [Oliver]

 - Stories with comments/trackbacks disabled, do not show comment/trackback

   url in RSS feeds [Mike]

 - Added email confirmation fields for new user and usersettings [Oliver]

 - Allow changing of group ownership for "gldefault" blocks. Requires a change

   in admin/block/defaultblockeditor.thtml to enable the group dropdown. On a

   fresh install, all the blocks (with the exception of "Are you secure?") are

   now owned by the Block Admin group [Dirk]

 - Users created by a User Admin should not be queued for approval, even when

   $_CONF['usersubmission'] = 1 [Dirk]

 - Introduced 'syndication.edit' permission and 'Syndication Admin' group so

   that access to the Content Syndication panel no longer requires 'Root'

   permissions [Dirk]

 - For the "Submissions" entry in the Admins Only block, only count story and

   event submissions when the current user has story.moderate or event.moderate

   permissions, respectively [Dirk]

 - On admin/moderation.php, list the stories that have their draft flag set only

   when the current user has story.edit permission [Dirk]

 - Fixed empty lines in a Group Admin's list of groups when that Group Admin

   was not a member of all groups [Dirk]

 - Renamed the misnamed CUSTOM_runSheduledTask function (in lib-custom.php) to

   CUSTOM_runScheduledTask. Don't forget to make that change in your copy of

   lib-custom.php if you're using that functionality! [Dirk]

 - Improved error log contents when unable to acquire a feed reader for a portal

   block. [Mike]

 - Extended plugin API for feed extensions to include feed id and the topic (for

   $_CONF['allow_username_change'] is enabled (reported and fix suggested by

   Yusuke Sakata) [Dirk]

   Randy Kolenko [Dirk]

 - The "last login date" column in the Admin's list of users now uses

   $_CONF['shortdate'] so that it includes the year [Dirk]

   Authorization" instead of "Awaiting Activation") [Mike]

 - Fixed admin lists google paging for use in static pages etc. [Oliver]

 - Added support for a custom login error handler function,

   CUSTOM_loginErrorHandler [Blaine]

 - Format the user agent string according to the RFCs 1945 / 2068 / 2616, i.e.

   "Geeklog/1.4.1" when trying to detect a Trackback URL [Dirk]

 - Made the search option on the Admin pages behave like the site search, i.e.

   it doesn't require you to pad queries with '*' any longer [Dirk]

 - In story search results, show/hide the "Author" and "Views" columns based on

   the $_CONF['contributedbyline'] and $_CONF['hideviewscount'] settings [Dirk]

 - Introduced $_CONF['title_trim_length'] to make the max. title length of items

   in the What's New block configurable (feature request #525). Also implemented

   a new function COM_truncate (based on a patch by Yusuke Sakata) that properly

   handles truncation of multi-byte text strings if the mb_ functions are

   available [Dirk]

 - Added a JavaScript confirmation box to most delete buttons/links. If you'd

   rather not have such a confirmation, use {delete_option_no_confirmation}

 January 8, 2008 (1.4.0sr6)

 ---------------

 MustLive pointed out a possible XSS in the form to email an article to a

 friend that we're fixing with this release.

 July 23, 2006 (1.4.0sr5-1)

 -------------

 This release fixes display problems in the comment preview that were only

 introduced in Geeklog 1.4.0sr5 (as a result of the fix for the XSS).

 The complete 1.4.0sr5-1 tarball also includes the following language files:

 - New Afrikaans language file, provided by Renier Maritz

 - Updated Hebrew language file, provided by LWC

 - Updated Turkish language file, provided by Kemal Cellat

 July 16, 2006 (1.4.0sr5)

 -------------

 JPCERT/CC informed us about a possible XSS in the comment handling that we're

 fixing with this release.

 June 30, 2006 (1.4.0sr4)

 -------------

 Two exploits have been released by "rgod" for insecure Geeklog installations

 and for a bug in the "mcpuk" file manager that we've been shipping as part of

 FCKeditor in all 1.4.0 releases.

 - Some of the files outside of the public_html directory were not protected

   against direct execution. If Geeklog was installed such that those files were

   accessible from a URL (which has always been strongly discouraged in the

   installation instructions) then those files could be used to load and

   execute malicious code from a remote server.

   More information: http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/so-called-exploit

   In this release, we've added the missing execution prevention for all files

   outside of public_html. We would still, however, suggest that you fix your

   Geeklog install if the files outside of public_html are accessible from a URL.

 - The "mcpuk" file manager that we've integrated into FCKeditor allowed the

   upload of arbitrary PHP code (even if FCKeditor was disabled in Geeklog's

   config.php). Depending on your webserver's configuration, it was then possible

   to execute that uploaded code.

   More information:

   http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/exploit-for-fckeditor-filemanager

   The file manager has been removed from this release. You will therefore no

   longer be able to upload files, e.g. images, through FCKeditor. Future

   versions of Geeklog will ship with an updated version of FCKeditor and its

   included file manager.

 Nov 20, 2005 (1.4.0b1)

 ------------

 - Introduced {start_storylink_anchortag} and {end_storylink_anchortag} template

   variables in the story and commentbar template files which only produce a

   link to the story when not on article.php, thus avoiding links back to the

   article page itself, which the spider for Google News doesn't seem to like

   (feature request #486) [Dirk]

 - Added a workaround for image uploads using GD when ImageCreateTrueColor is

   not available (patch #468) [Dirk]

   frontpage (i.e. have not been set to "Show only in topic", bug #408) [Dirk]

 - Fixed problems with query highlighting in stories scrambling links in

   autotags (bug #492) [Dirk]

 - Group names are now unique (as they should have been from the beginning). The

   install script takes care of existing duplicate group names when upgrading

   to 1.4.0 (bug #367) [Dirk]

 - Allow for more topic IDs in the user's preferences (bug #490) [Dirk]

 - Replace autotags in the Daily Digest (bug #484) [Dirk]

 - Explicitly link to /docs/index.html for the documentation link in the Admin's

   block (bug #504) [Dirk]

 - Added an option to enable / disable trackbacks per story (just like you can

   enable / disable comments per story) [Dirk]

 - Changed COM_optionList to check for language arrays which override the text

   strings that are embedded in the database (for comment mode, featured story,

   post mode, etc.) Bug #227 [Dirk]

 - Fixed Bug #174 -- quotes in titles are no longer double htmlentized [Vinny]

 - The default permissions for new objects (stories, topics, blocks, etc.) can

   now be set in config.php (feature request #90) [Dirk]

 - Added an "Active users" entry to the site statistics. If Geeklog is configured

   to track a user's last login, this will display the number of users who

   logged into the site during the last 4 weeks. Otherwise, it displays the

   number of user accounts with status = 3 (i.e. have logged into their account

   at least once and haven't been banned) [Dirk]

 - Introduced a new plugin API function so that the plugin's summary (e.g.

   number of items) can be properly integrated with the "Site Stats" section.

   Modified stats/sitestatistics.thtml, removed stats/stats.thtml, added

   stats/singlesummary.thtml template files [Dirk]

 - Introduced a generic function, USER_getPhoto, which provides the user's photo,

   if available. The function also supports getting the user's avatar from

   gravatar.com (if enabled in config.php) [Dirk]

 - The texts in the What's New block ("x new stories in the last y hours",

   "last 2 weeks", etc.) now properly reflect the actual settings of the

   $_CONF['newXXXinterval'] variables (bug #390) [Oliver, Dirk]

 - Introduced a method to signal a forced update for feeds in case the content

   of one of the feed entries has changed  - so far, we only checked if entries

   had been added or removed (bug #277) [Dirk]

 - Added $_CONF['show_right_blocks'] option which, if set = true, will display

   right-side blocks on all pages (also addresses feature request #31) [Dirk]

 - Leave off the "page=1" parameter on the "Google paging" navigation bar for

   links that point back to the first page [Dirk]

   "geeklog.rss" [Mike, Dirk]

 - Added time of the day to the name of the database backups to allow several

   backups a day [Oliver]

 - When the search returns no results, the search form is now pre-populated

   with the last search query, so that it can be changed easily. On successful

   searches, a "refine search" link will appear that also takes you back to a

   pre-populated search form (to refine your search, obviously) [Dirk]

 - Changed search to only return a certain amount of hits per page, thus

   avoiding timeouts on servers where the script execution time is limited

   (bug #274) [Dirk]

   A new config variable, $_CONF['num_search_results'], defines the number of

   search results to be returned per page (and per type). The search form also

   includes a drop-down menu where this can be changed for every search.

   Plugins will have to indicate if they support this "paged" search. Otherwise,

   Geeklog will fake the paging for the plugin, so that the plugin does a full

   search for every page, but Geeklog will only display the hits for the current

   page (such a plugin can therefore still cause a timeout until it is changed

   to support "paged" searching).

 - Added a permanent link to comments (in the professional theme) [Vinny]

 - Added new icons for the admin sections and made sure each admin section

   now has an icon in admin/moderation.php [Dirk]

   The new icons have been taken from the Gnome project (some of them modified

   by Jakub Steiner). They are released under the GPL.

 - Introduced global variable $_IMAGE_TYPE that specifies the image type to

   use. Defaults to 'gif'. Themes can override it to use other images types,

   e.g. PNG, for all images [Dirk]

 - Added option to upload topic icons (Feature Request #415, Patch #423),

   provided by Alford Deeley (machinari)

 - Changed the Admin's "Command and Control" center such that there is an icon

   for every entry in the Admin's block [Dirk]

 - Removed duplicate code for creating a "topic SQL" query in moderation.php

   (use COM_getTopicSQL instead) [Dirk]

 - Added the ability to allow users to login via defined remote services (ships

   with Blogger and LiveJournal support) [Mike]

 - Added the ability to ban users, and to tell when a user has logged in at least

   once [Mike]

 - Added edit-icon, List-Sorting, searching, Limits & alternating row colors

   in admin menus for groups, syndication, staticpages, trackback

   (where not yet done) [Oliver]

 - Added function to allow user-defined scaling of images in articles by using

   [unscaledX] instead of [imageX] [Oliver]

 - Removed $_CONF['whosonline_fullname'] option - use $_CONF['show_fullname']

   instead [Dirk]

 - Fixed bug where extra slashes appeared when previewing comments [Vinny]

 - Removed the "lastvisit" cookies, as they are obviously not used [Dirk]

 - Removed redundant changepwd-button & code from /admin/user.php (Bug #9)

   [Oliver]

 - Added new feature to insert a feed-links into header depending on topic, to

   be chosen from /admin/syndication.php in the form of

   <link rel="alternate" type="application/{format}+xml" ....> [Oliver]

 - Added options to google-Navigation so it can be used by plugins and work with

   url-rewriting (feature request #315). [Oliver]

 - Userlist now also shows Registration Date and if $_CONF['lastlogin']= true it

   shows the last login date instead. [Oliver]

 - Added option in config.php to hide "Viewed: x" line with

   $_CONF['viewscountline'] just as the $_CONF['contributedbyline'] [Oliver]

 - Added function COM_numberFormat to format displayed numbers with custom

   decimal & thousand - separators and fixed decimal places if necessary

   Includes the respecitve 3 new config.php values in locale section.

   (Feature Request #298) [Oliver]

 - Default Blocks showed always in all Topics before. Now you can choose to show

   them in All/only one topic/only on homepage like other blocks (feature #326)

   [Oliver]

 - A Story can now break over several pages in the body-text. The tag

   [page_break] will split the bodytext in pieces that can be opened with the

   std. COM_printPageNavigation. Introtext is removed for pages>1 [Oliver]

 - Added field for old password check in /usersettings.php (bug #230) [Oliver]

 - Added password confirmation to /admin/user.php and /usersettings.php

   (bug #230) [Oliver]

 - Made the alternating row colors in the Admin's trackback functions compatible

   with the scheme used in other places (list of users, etc.). Also changed the

   list of weblog directory services so that editing is now done by clicking on

   the number of the service [Dirk]

 - Stories are no longer forced to be featured _and_ on frontpage (bug #362)

   [Oliver]

 - Changed links locations in User-list, added user-photo indicator [Oliver]

 - Don't update a story's date any more when unchecking the 'draft' flag

   (bug #400) [Dirk]

 - Don't use "rewritten" URLs in the static pages editor any more (bug #403).

   Also updated the list of static pages to use alternating colors for the

   rows [Dirk]

 - Use "\r\n" when sending trackback pings (bug #407) [Dirk]

 - Allow autotags to optionally have a space after the tag name [Blaine]

   Valid tags are:

   [story:20040101093000103 here] or [story: 20040101093000103 here]

 - Fixed inconsistent use of {site_url} and {layout_url} in some of the

   professional theme's admin template files - using {layout_url} everywhere

   now when referring to icons (bug #395) [Dirk]

 - Event titles containing quotes were cut off at the first quote in the event

   editor, i.e. both the admin's event editor and the editor for personal events.

   (bug #399) [Dirk]

 - Modified PLG_templateSetVars API to also check for a custom function [Blaine]

   Users can now set header template using CUSTOM_templatesetvars()

 - Added new CSS declarations as recommened CSS for plugins   [Blaine]

 - Added a basic scheduler Plugin API plugin_runScheduledTask  [Blaine]

   Interval is set in config.php - $_CONF['cron_schedule_interval']

 - Enhanced the Group Admin interface display [Blaine]

   plugins introducing security problems.  Older plugins that use the comment

   API will no longer work. [Vinny]

   some changes to comment.php [Vinny]

 - Introduced a 'story.ping' permission that enables users to send Pings,

   Pingbacks, and Trackbacks for a story (or plugin item). Members of the Story

   Admin group have that permission by default.

 - Overhauled install script: It will now abort the installation if the minumum

   requirements (PHP 4.1.0, MySQL 3.23.2) are not met. It also displays a warning

   message if register_long_arrays is off (PHP 5 only, bug #360). Another

   warning message is displayed if "public_html" is part of the URL.

   When upgrading, it now tries to identify the Geeklog version that was used

   previously (only really works for versions 1.3.8 - 1.3.11) [Dirk]

 - Fixed date in comment preview (bug #370) [Dirk]

 - Incorporated the new syndication framework for reading and writing feeds of

   different formats (RSS, RDF, Atom), provided by Michael Jervis (patch #352).

   This contribution also addresses Task #19 ("RSS import class") and Feature

   Request #67 ("Limiting number of entries in RSS feeds").

   Please note that the feed writer classes, system/classes/*.feed.class.php,

   are now obsolete and can be removed. Please also note this adds new PEAR

   package requirements for Net_URL and HTTP_Request.

 - Added support for sending and receiving trackback comments (Feature Request

   #34) Also implemented Pingback support in pretty much the same way. Once

   received, Geeklog treats Trackbacks and Pingbacks the same and stores them

   in the gl_trackback table. [Dirk]

   Both can be switched off in config.php: $_CONF['trackback_enabled'] = false;

   and $_CONF['pingback_enabled'] = false;

 - Added a new script, directory.php, that implements a date-based listing of

   all the stories on a site [Dirk]

   A link to the directory is available as a new option, 'directory', for the

   $_CONF['menu_elements'] config variable, so that it can be added to the menu.

 - The column headline for event search results was not displayed [Dirk]

 - Added logos to syndication feeds. [Mike]

 - Added config option to disable new accounts (Patch #426 from Alford Deeley)

   [Mike]

 - Alphabet Sort on Admin Menu and C&C Block [Mike]

 - New Farsi (Persian) language file, provided by Hesam.H

 - Updated Japanese language file, provided by Yusuke Sakata

 - New Farsi (Persian) language file for the static pages plugin,

   provided by Hesam.H

 Links plugin 1.0.0

 ------------

 - Added ID-editor and Autotags-feature [link: ... ] [Oliver]

 - Added Category-Specific Feeds [Oliver]

 - Added Edit-Icon, List-Sorting, searching, Limits & etc for admin menu [Oliver]

 - Moved links functionality into a plugin [Trinity, Oliver]

 Polls plugin 1.0.0

 ------------

 - Polls moved to a plugin [Trinity]

 Spam-X plugin 1.0.3

 -------------

 - The LogView module now automatically truncates the Spam-X logfile to 100KB

   [Tom Willet]

 - The IP Blacklist module now supports regular expressions [Mike]

 - Added a Mass Delete module for Trackback comments [Dirk]

 - Added an "admin override" option, so that postings by members of the 'spamx

   Admin' group will not be checked for spam [Dirk]

 July 16, 2006 (1.3.11sr7)

 -------------

 JPCERT/CC informed us about a possible XSS in the comment handling that we're

 fixing with this release.

 May 28, 2006 (1.3.11sr6)

 ------------

 The Security Science Researchers Institute Of Iran reported the following

 security issues:

 - Possible SQL injection and authentication bypass in auth.inc.php

 - Possible XSS in getimage.php

 - Path disclosure in getimage.php and the functions.php of some themes,

   e.g. the Professional theme

 An internal code review also revealed a possible SQL injection in story

 submissions.

 Mar 5, 2006 (1.3.11sr5)

 -----------

 Security issue:

 - Konstantin Dyakoff found an old bug in the session handling that would allow

   anyone to log in as any user.

 Feb 19, 2006 (1.3.11sr4)

 ------------

 Security issues:

 - James Bercegay of GulfTech Security Research reported several issues with

   Geeklog's cookie handling that made it vulnerable to SQL injections, arbitrary

   file access, and even injection and execution of arbitrary code.

 - Prevent execution of PHP code in "normal" blocks

 Dec 12, 2005 (1.3.11sr3)

 ------------

 Security issues:

 - Fixed comment bug that allowed comments to be saved even when user did not

   have the correct story/topic permissions (reported by LWC) [Vinny]

 - Fixed a path disclosure in case someone tampered with the start date or end

   date in advanced search (reported by r0t3d3Vil) [Mike]

   Feeding malformed dates to the search caused a warning message to be displayed

   that disclosed the path to the Geeklog install on the server. It was NOT

   possible to use this for SQL injections.

 Bugfixes:

 - Fixed the problems (introduced in 1.3.11sr2) editing static pages when

   $_CONF['url_rewrite'] = true (bug #491) [Dirk]

 - The "Reply" button didn't work when viewing individual comments [Vinny]

 - Fixed the definition of the 'expire' field (in table gl_stories), which

   caused an SQL error when doing a fresh install on MySQL 5

   (reported by Johannes) [Dirk]

 - Fixed and updated the Hebrew language file [LWC, Dirk]

 - New Ukrainian language file (Windows-1251), provided by Vitaliy Biliyenko

 - New Ukrainian language files (UTF-8 and KOI8-U encoding) for Geeklog, the

   Spam-X, and Static Pages plugins, provided by Yaroslav Fedevych

 Oct 9, 2005 (1.3.11sr2)

 -----------

 This release provides security enhancements and better spam protection

 originally developed for Geeklog 1.3.12. It also addresses a few bugs where

 the bugfix could be integrated with a reasonable amount of work (other bugfixes

 will have to wait for the 1.3.12 release).

 Security and Spam protection:

 - Added speedlimit to login attempts, defaults to allowing three tries in a

   five minute period.  [Vinny]

   See new config options $_CONF['login_attempts'] and $_CONF['login_speedlimit']

 - Changed the spam handling to update the speed limit when spam is detected

   (i.e. handle spam posts as if they were successful posts and make the

   submitter wait for the speed limit to expire). Also send a 403 "Forbidden"

   HTTP response code when displaying the "spam detected" message [Dirk]

   To quote RFC2616: "403 Forbidden: The server understood the request, but is

   refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD

   NOT be repeated."

 - Filter linefeeds in the To:, From:, and Subject: fields of an email in

   COM_mail [Dirk]

 - When a new user account is created and the user submission queue is enabled

   in config.php, ensure that the user is properly "queued" even in the

   unlikely event that the account creation fails halfway through (reported by

   LWC) [Dirk]

 - When $_CONF['emailstoryloginrequired'] = 1, hide the links to the "email

   story" form from anonymous users [Dirk]

 - When emailing a story, check the user's message that is sent with the story

   for spam [Dirk]

 - Added a robots.txt file to the distribution. By default, it excludes

   comment.php, submit.php, and the docs directory from being spidered [Dirk]

 - Added a spam check to the user profile [Dirk]

 - Story, event, and link submissions are now also checked for spam [Dirk]

 - This release also includes the Spam-X plugin version 1.0.2

 Please note that MT-Blacklist (used by Spam-X) has recently been discontinued.

 For the time being, we provide the last version of the blacklist for download

 from geeklog.net (the Spam-X plugin as included in this release is configured

 to get it from there for the initial import). There will, however, be no

 updates the blacklist. For details, please see

 http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/mt-blacklist-discontinued

 Bugfixes:

 - Fixed an error message thrown up by PHP 5.0.5 or later when viewing the

   article page (bug #483) [Dirk]

 - Fixed bug with topic-specific blocks not showing up on the article page when

   URL rewriting was enabled (bug #401) [Dirk]

 - Fixed missing site header when trying to submit an event without required

   fields. Also fixed that it would redirect you to the story submission form

   then (bug #409) [Dirk]

 - Make sure {menu_elements} is rendered using the menuitem_none.thtml template

   when no menu elements are to be displayed (bug #378) [Dirk]

 - Quote names in email addresses as soon as they contain any non-alphanumeric

   characters (apart from the blank). This also addresses bug #368 [Dirk]

 - Allow single quotes in passwords (bug #396, also previously reported as

   bug #349 / #996354) [Dirk]

 - When $_CONF['profileloginrequired'] was set to 1, the actual message that

   you have to log in before being able to see a user profile was not wrapped

   in the Geeklog framework (reported by Sean C) [Dirk]

 - Fix: Made a story's archive/expire date work with the timezone hack [Dirk]

 - COM_applyFilter will now accept negative numbers if the isnumeric parameter

   is true. Needed to fix problems with pollbooth.php (and others) [Vinny]

 - Upgraded included kses class to version 0.2.2 which fixes problems with

   Japanese and Thai characters (among other things), thus addressing bugs #94

   and #119 [Dirk]

 - Fixed SQL error when using the [staticpage:] autotag (bug #373) [Dirk]

 - Added a missing stripslashes call to remove backslashes when a topic's name

   was displayed in the index page's title (bug #369) [Dirk]

 - Link tags are now translated in printer friendly mode (Bug #411) [Mike]

 - Removed the <meta name="ROBOTS"> entry from the Professional theme's

   header.thtml as "INDEX,FOLLOW" is the default anyway. For finer control,

   we now ship a robots.txt [Dirk]

 Improvements:

 - Don't check for auto-archived stories when no archive topic has been

   defined yet [Dirk]

 - Added support for a custom_usercheck function. Custom registration code that

   requires certain information can now abort the creation of a new account if

   that information is missing. The function is called after Geeklog has checked

   that the username and email address of the new user are okay (valid and not

   in the database yet), but before the user has been added to the database

   [Dirk]

 - Saved one SQL request for a story's printable view [Dirk]

 Language files:

 - Made sure all language files refer to Geeklog's [image] tags as [imageX],

   [imageX_right], and [imageX_left] (bug #381) [Dirk]

 - New Catalan language file, provided by an anonymous user

 - New Russian (UTF-8) language file, provided by Konstantin Boyandin

 - Updated Hebrew language file, provided by LWC

 - Updated Hellenic (Greek) language file, provided by MzOzD

 - Updated Italian language file, provided by Marcello Teodori

 - Updated Japanese (UTF-8) language file, provided by Yusuke Sakata

 - Updated Portuguese (Brazil) language file, provided by Alcides Soares Filho

 - Updated Russian language file, provided by Konstantin Boyandin

 - New Japanese (UTF-8) language file for the Static Pages plugin, provided by

   Yusuke Sakata

 - Updated Italian language file for the Static Pages plugin, provided by

   Marcello Teodori

 - Updated Japanese language file for the Static Pages plugin, provided by

   Yusuke Sakata

 Aug 21, 2005 (Spam-X plugin 1.0.2)

 ------------

 - Changed the display name of the plugin to "Spam-X" to avoid potential

   confusion with the email spam filter of the same name.

   "SpamX" is a registered trademark of Hendrickson Software Components.

 - Added a new module to filter posts based on the IP address of the poster

   [Tom Willet]

 - Added  a new module to filter posts based on the IP address of the

   spamvertised site [Tom Willet]

 - Added a new module to filter posts based on characteristics of the HTTP header

   [Dirk]

 - Fixed the Mass Delete Spam Comments module [Tom Willet]

 - The Spam-X plugin's examine modules run the post through html_entity_decode()

   now in case the spammers try to obfuscate their posts by using HTML entities

   [Tom Willet, Dirk]

 - The Mail Admin action module now also reports the HTTP headers of the post

   that triggered the spam filter [Dirk]

 - Added a simple stats function (reports the number of posts deleted as spam,

   and - to the Spam-X Admin only - the number of entries for each module) [Dirk]

 - Implemented an update function for the plugin [Dirk]

 - New Farsi (Persian) language file, provided by Hesam.H

 - New Italian language file, provided by Marcello Teodori

 - New Spanish language file, provided by vivi1123

 Jul 3, 2005 (1.3.11sr1)

 -----------

 This release addresses the following security issue:

 Stefan Esser found an SQL injection that can, under certain circumstances,

 be exploited to extract user data such as the user's password hash.

 Dec 31, 2004 (1.3.11)

 ------------

 Geeklog 1.3.11 addresses the following security issues:

 1. It was possible to submit stories anonymously even if anonymous submissions

    were turned off in config.php (reported by Barry Wong).

    These stories still ended up in the submission queue, though, unless you

    disabled it in config.php.

 2. Some of the parameters in link and event submissions weren't filtered,

    leaving them open to potential SQL injections.

 3. The links for the What's Related block were created from the unfiltered story

    text, opening the possibility of XSS attacks (reported by Vincent Furia).

 Bugfixes:

 - Added a missing stripslashes() call for the topic name in the What's Related

   block (bug #351) [Dirk]

   (affected file: system/lib-story.php)

 - Fixed problems in the story editor when editing plain-text posts with

   uploaded images (bug #356) [Dirk]

   (affected file: public_html/admin/story.php)

 - When changing a story ID, update the story ID in any comments to that story,

   too (bug #357) [Dirk]

   (affected file: public_html/admin/story.php)

 - Fixed handling of autotags that started with the same substring, e.g. for

   2 tags 'mytag' and 'mytagtwo', the second tag would not be recognized

   (reported by Dr. Shakagee) [Dirk]

   (affected file: system/lib-plugins.php)

 - Fixed caching of $_GROUPS [Dirk]

   (affected files: system/lib-security.php, public_html/lib-common.php)

 - Made a minor optimization to save one SQL request when displaying the comment

   bar for anonymous users [Dirk]

   (affected file: public_html/lib-common.php)

 - Updated Slovenian language file, provided by gape.

   (affected file: language/slovenian.php)

 Dec 22, 2004 (1.3.11rc1)

 ------------

 - Fixed "archive" option being activated too early on certain non-featured

   stories (bug #345) [Blaine]

 - Added missing handling of autotags in static pages being displayed as center

   blocks (reported by Jill) [Dirk]

 - Fixed size of the 'sid' field in the gl_comments table. It should be 40

   characters, to be able to hold the long story IDs introduced in 1.3.10

   (reported by Douglas Santos) [Dirk]

 - When using mogrify (ImageMagick) to resize uploaded images, the name of the

   image is now enclosed in double quotes instead of single quotes, which

   caused the command to fail on Windows [Dirk]

 - The emails sent from the Spam-X plugin's MailAdmin action now also include

   the IP address of the spam poster [Dirk]

 - SEC_getFeatureGroup() should not overwrite $_GROUPS if not operating on the

   current user (bug #331) [Dirk]

 - Introduced a {camera_icon} variable in story and comment templates that

   displays the little camera icon if the author has uploaded a user photo, just

   like in the Who's Online block (suggested by Laurence Whitworth) [Dirk]

 - The parent link in top-level comments took the user to the homepage rather

   than to the article page (bug #346) [Vinny]

 - Stories submitted for the archive topic will automatically be saved with

   frontpage = 0 when approved, i.e. only be displayed in the topic [Dirk]

 - Avoid emitting an extra <br> tag after the last section in the What's New

   block (bug #330) [Dirk]

 - Update comment count in Older Stories block when a new comment is posted

   (bug #317). Also optimized the code to collect the contents of the Older

   Stories block [Dirk]

 - Fixed extra <br> being emitted in the calendar for events that aren't

   visible for the current user (bug #268) [Dirk]

 - (Event) Admins can now delete events directly from the calendar's day and

   week views (just like events in the personal calendar) [Dirk]

 - Fixed usersettings.php so that it displays the "benefits" message again when

   called up by an anonymous user. Also made it go to the user's preferences

   when called without a 'mode' parameter [Dirk]

 - Added {layout_url} to the available theme variables in the submission forms.

   Also added {separator} for those who prefer correct spelling ;-) [Dirk]

 - More parameter filtering and permission checks in submit.php [Dirk]

 - Fixed over-zealous parameter filtering in links.php which prevented

   categories with apostrophes from working [Dirk]

 - Fixed broken URLs when editing a plain-text story that contained uploaded

   images (reported by LWC) [Dirk]

 - The PEAR classes that ship with Geeklog actually require PHP 4.2.x now.

   However, the missing functions in older PHP versions (minimum requirement

   for Geeklog itself is now PHP 4.1.0) are provided by the PEAR PHP_Compat

   package, which we will have to ship with Geeklog from now on. Added the

   necessary code to lib-common.php to load PHP_Compat, if required [Dirk]

   Many thanks to Tom Willet for providing a test setup.

 - Fixed "quick add form" for personal events, so that it stores the new event

   directly now [Dirk]

 - Fixed handling of 12am/pm in events, event submissions, and when passing the

   time from the calendar to the event submission forms [Dirk]

 - Improved handling of personal events / personal calendar, especially for

   (Event) Admins [Dirk]

 - Fixed What's Related links when magic_quotes_qpc = on [Vinny, Dirk]

 - Fixed use of an undefined variable $U in COM_showBlocks and warning messages

   for undefined array indexes in COM_getCurrentURL (reported by irawen) [Dirk]

 - Allow empty search query strings so that the "More by <author>" and "More

   from <topic>" options work again [Dirk]

 - When deleting a poll, also delete any comments to that poll [Dirk]

 - Delete comments and story images when deleting stories from a deleted topic

   (bug #339) [Dirk]

   the story's comments [Dirk]

 - Set current user as the owner when cloning an event (bug #338) [Dirk]

 - Start time, end time, and event location weren't copied over when adding a

   site event to the personal calendar (bug #336) [Dirk]

 - Fixed wrong use of htmlentities() on comment title (bug #335) [Dirk]

 - Changed "read more" word count so that it ignores HTML tags (bug #333) [Dirk]

 - Updated Slovenian language file, provided by gape.

 - Updated Dutch language file, provided by Ko de Pree.

 - Updated Dutch language file for the Static Pages plugin,

   provided by Ko de Pree.

 - New French language files for the Spam-X plugin, provided by Alain Ponton.

 Nov 28, 2004 (1.3.10)

 ------------

 - Allow omission of the link text for the [story:], [event:], and [staticpage:]

   autotags. Geeklog will then use the title (of the story / event / static page)

   as the link text [Dirk]

   (affected files: system/lib-plugins.php, plugins/staticpages/functions.inc)

 - Updated Chinese language files (all 4 of them), provided by Samuel M. Stone

 Nov 21, 2004 (1.3.10rc3)

 ------------

 - Changed wording of the error message if the "backups" directory is not

   writable [Dirk]

 - Fixed comments for the DB_result (in lib-database.php) and dbResult

   (in mysql.class.php) functions (bug #320) [Dirk]

 - Display a success message when using the "changepw" option in admin/user.php

   [Dirk]

 - When changing a username, make sure to change the name of the user's photo,

   too (bug #321) [Dirk]

 - Links in "plain text" stories and comments are now made clickable (i.e.

   enclosed in <a> tags) when the post is saved instead of when it's displayed,

   as in the previous release candidates. This also fixes bug #308. [Dirk]

 - Added $_CONF['disable_autolinks'] config option to disable autolinks [Dirk]

 - Removed ViewBlacklist.Admin.class.php from the Spam-X plugin [Tom Willet]

 - Overhauled handling of personal events [Dirk]:

   + Fixed deleting personal events (again).

   + The upcoming events block now links to the event details of personal

     events (just like it already did for site events).

   + Added stricter checks for permissions, user IDs, and the personal calendars

     being activated in the first place.

 - Added a check for allow_url_fopen if reading a (RSS) feed fails and report it

   in error.log if it is off [Dirk]

 - When deleting a story (automatically), make sure we're only deleting comments

   belonging to that story (i.e. added a check for type = 'article') [Dirk]

 - Added {event_type}, {lang_event_type}, and {edit_icon} in all the themes'

   calendar/eventdetails.thtml template file [Dirk]

 - Fixed some URLs in the calendar (missing slash) [Dirk]

 - Comment IDs don't have to be numeric (in comment.php) [Vinny]

 - The Static Pages plugin now takes $_CONF['showfirstasfeatured'] into account

   when displaying static pages in center blocks (reported by eyecravedvd) [Dirk]

 - Forgot to declare $_CONF as global when fixing bug #301 (bug #302) [Dirk]

 - Updated Chinese language files (all 4 of them), provided by Samuel M. Stone

 - Updated Japanese language files (euc-jp and UTF-8), provided by Yusuke Sakata

 - Updated Polish language file, provided by Robert Stadnik

 - Updated Slovenian language file, provided by gape

 - Updated Spanish language file, provided by Angel Romero

 - Updated Swedish language file, provided by Markus Berg

 Oct 24, 2004 (1.3.10rc2)

 ------------

 - Fixed plugin update function [Blaine]

 - Set the target encoding in Geeklog's RSS parser (bug #301) [Dirk]

 - Set the {topic_icon} variable to an empty string for the "Home" link in the

   Topics block (reported by jhwhite) [Dirk]

 - Fixed News Box Configuration, i.e. the ability to disable blocks [Vinny]

 - In the story template files, the number of comments now only is a link when

   there actually is a comment on the story [Dirk]

 - Hard-coded the English word 'delete' in the URLs to delete a comment [Dirk]

 - For the list of a user's recent comments, use 'mode=view' to link directly

   to a comment now [Dirk]

 - Fixed comment id in comment notification emails [Dirk]

 - Fixed display of the number of static pages that the user has access to (in

   the Admin Block) [Dirk]

 - COM_makeClickableLinks did not recognize links with the 'http:' at the

   start of a line [Dirk]

 - Re-introduced <br> between plugin sections in the What's New block, pretty

   much reverting the change suggested by feature request #292 [Dirk]

 - Introduced function COM_formatEmailAddress that creates a (more or less)

   RFC(2)822 compliant email address from a name and an address [Dirk]

   This function is now used for formatting the site address, as well as for

   addresses entered by the user in profiles.php and admin/mail.php.

 - The Spam-X plugin's MailAdmin action didn't send any email notifications,

   since the call to COM_mail was commented out ... [Dirk]

 - admin/mail.php and admin/group.php use the complete URL to the script in

   the <form action="..."> now (instead of relying on PHP_SELF) [Dirk]

 - Fixed parse error in the Dutch language file (reported by NeoNecro) [Dirk]

 - Allow the dot '.' in IDs (in addition to letters, digits, the dash, and the

   underscore) [Dirk]

 Oct 17, 2004 (1.3.10rc1)

 ------------

 - Added new functionality to [autotags] - New plugin API's added  [Blaine]

 - Added [autotag] hooks for stories  [Blaine]

 - When a plugin had its icon only in the admin directoy, the plugin editor

   did not find it and displayed a generic icon instead [Dirk]

 - In admin/mail.php, apply htmlspecialchars() on the email addresses before

   displaying them, as the '<foo@example.com>' part will be interpreted as

   HTML by some browsers (pointed out by LWC) [Dirk]

 - When using gdlib for image resizing, GIF images were converted to PNG, but

   Geeklog was still trying to display the GIF (reported by Tom Willet). Since

   the LZW patent has now expired (see http://www.unisys.com/about__unisys/lzw),

   it is safe to use GIF images again, so the PNG conversion was dropped [Dirk]

 - Fixed link to the Anonymous user's profile in comment/thread.thtml [Dirk]

 - Added Location field to the user profile [Blaine]

 - In the light of bug #293, removed all variable names from the language files,

   leaving only the $_CONF config variables [Dirk]

 - Fixed an error message when plugins didn't return an array from

   plugin_getmenuitems_xxx (reported by computerade) [Dirk]

 - When sending emails from the admin/mail.php, some user's names weren't set

   in their email address (reported by LWC) [Dirk]

 - Removed an extra <br> from before and between data provided by plugins in

   the What's New block (feature request #292) [Dirk]

 - When creating a new user from admin/user.php, don't determine the uid before

   actually creating the database entries to avoid race conditions / collisions

   with other user accounts created at the same time (bug #243) [Dirk]

   Also took the opportunity to refactor and move the almost identical code

   from users.php and admin/user.php into a new function USER_createAccount in

   system/lib-user.php.

 - usersettings.php was missing a default case for unsupported values of 'mode'

   (bug #287). This only displayed a blank page and was not exploitable [Dirk]

 - Fixed hard-coded default group names in the Admin sections (e.g. when a user

   had story.edit permissions but was not in the Story Admin group, any new

   story created by that user would default to being owned by the Story Admin

   group nonetheless) [Dirk]

 - Introduced new plugin API functions plugin_user_changed_xxx and

   plugin_group_changed_xxx to inform plugins when a user's information

   (profile or settings) or a group (new, edit, delete) has been changed [Dirk]

 - COM_checkHTML and COM_allowedHTML now accept an additional parameter in form

   of a comma-separated list of permissions. If the current user has at least

   one of those permissions, they are assumed to be an "Admin" and the functions

   will use the $_CONF['admin_html'] list of HTML tags for them (bugs #114 and

   #118) [Dirk]

 - COM_allowedHTML now has an option to only return the list of allowed HTML

   tags without the "Allowed HTML" text (bug #118) [Dirk]

 - For the poll block, always use the block title stored in the database (bug

   #205) [Dirk]

 - It is now again possible to have a different number of stories per page

   for individual topics. Users have to set their preferred number of stories

   per page to 0 (zero) in their preferences, though, as the user preferences

   will always override this setting (bug #190) [Dirk]

 - The Professional theme, kindly provided by Victor B. Gonzalez, is our new

   default theme now.

 - In the calendar's day and week view, event permissions weren't checked

   properly, so that some events were displayed to user who shouldn't have

   been able to see them (reported by Willem Jan) [Dirk]
