views 6.x-2.0-rc2

This release is primarily a large number of bug fixes. Please note that one fix required an API CHANGE. This change affects all modules that use the Views API and those modules will likely cease to function.

Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-RC1:

• #277899: Ensure that a view that has fields but are all set to exclude will not cause a crash.

• #278594: fix page display not properly 404ing when arguments tell it to.
• Updated translation with more German strings (now 80% complete).
• Fixed some typos.
• Noticed by Gurpartap: frontpage default view had sort in wrong order.
• #279633: Be more up front with colors on views admin so themes are a little less likely to create unreadable UI. Probably still holes here.

• Automatically allow IS NULL and IS NOT NULL filters on all filters that support this if relationships are present.
• Provide message when fields are not in use, rather than simply disappearing them.
• #270854 (partially by webchick): modify UI to remove the "overridden" icon and instead change display on items that are "defaulted" to make them more visually unique.
• #280224 by hass and BDragon: major reduction in size of help file images

• New getting started diagram and info
• #279899 by mooffie and nonsie: Move views_preprocess_node() to views.module so it always appears; add display name to node template suggestions. Needs documentation.

• #278013: Failure to check for relationship with base table causes error when adding many to one filters and fields on a relationship.

  to page.

• #300220: Validate that % cannot be at the beginning of a page path
• Major re-organization of handlers. PLEASE NOTE: This drastically affected the Views module API and until modules are updated to match, they will stop working. Efforts have been made to ensure that this won't cause your site to crash, but that's partly up to the individual module as well.
• Fix incorrect parents for date handlers
