nodewords 6.x-1.13-rc1

This represents a preliminary release of what will be the first stable release of Nodewords since 2009. The wildly unnecessary and over-engineered rewrite of 6.x-1.12 has been reverted and now we present a continuation of the 6.x-1.11 code with many bugfixes and the good parts from the rewrite.

Thanks must be given to everyone who's had patience while we've wrestled through the last year & half. Special thanks are due to Nate "quicksketch" Haug for helping us seeing the light in regards to the 6.x-1.12 codebase, and to the large number of contributors who have helped get the module to where it is today, many of whom are listed below.

This release includes many important changes since the last 6.x-1.11 release:

• All bugs from 6.x-1.11 have been fixed.
• A major bug that could have resulted in data loss has been resolved. This would have occurred on sites with a nid, uid or tid higher than 65,536 that were updated from previous versions and unfortunately would have led to irretrievable data loss. This release is safe to update to, the specific bug has been resolved.
• Support for the Facebook Open Graph Protocol tags has been added via the new nodewords_og module. Unfortunately due to limitations in Drupal 6 the theme must be customized in order for this to work, see README.txt for full instructions.
• Site verification tags are no longer included, instead use e.g. the Site Verify module.
• The ICRA PICS-Label tag has been removed as the program has been dropped.

Full changelog since 6.x-1.11:

• By DamienMcKenna: Cleaned up the CHANGELOG.txt file.
• #767612 by TravisCarden: The link in the post-installation message is not correct.
• #715170 by kiamlaluno: Warning: "Unknown column 'n.0' in 'where clause' query" during search indexing.
• #707722 by zxs: Custom regexp does't filter node teaser.
