forum_access 6.x-1.6

This is version 1.6 of Forum Access for Drupal 6.

It has a number of bug fixes over 1.5 that have accumulated over time. However, there's a newer release 1.7, which adds extensive tests and additional bug fixes for a number of edge cases. We recommend that you skip 1.6 and update to 6.x-1.7.

Forum Access requires the current ACL module.

You must update ACL to 6.x-1.4 or later before updating Forum Access to this version!

Changes since 1.5:
Bugs fixed:
- #762270: Fix a notice on the forums page.
- Fix minor coding style issues (no functional changes).
- #1001968: Don't assume that there is a role with the 'administer nodes' permission.
- #978572: Remove moderator role on uninstall.
- #980894: Fix a notice.
Enhancements:
- #1022652: Guard against people trying to run updates in disabled state.
- #936682, #968382: Move the TID into the {acl.number} column to speed up hook_db_rewrite_sql() joins.
- Implement the D6.17 hook_link_alter() for comments.
- Update the link in forum_access_update_6105() to point directly to the release notes.

Note: The devel_node_access (DNA) module, which is part of the Devel module, provides an in-depth view into the inner workings of node access, especially if you enable its debug mode at admin/settings/devel#edit-devel-node-access-debug-mode and its second block. This is a big help for understanding the forces that control access to any given node.

Note the Drupal core issues listed on the Forum Access front page, which are outside the scope of Forum Access. Help resolve these issues to make Forum Access perform even better!
