  • - Patch #305436 by Damien Tournoud, lelutin: fixed unclosed <li> tag in the context-sensitive help.
  • #305920 originally reported by hass at #217884, patch by myself: JavaScript cache was not invalidated when a translation of a string was edited
  • - Patch #308549 by lyrincz, Dave Reid: fixed broken link in PHPdoc.
  • #227486 by profix898: 'menu_router's 'load_functions' and 'to_arg_functions' were too short to contain long function names and/or multiple arguments as required by complex Views and Panels
  • #278458 reported by j0hn-smith, patch by pwolanin: the menu cache was not cleared properly in menu_link_maintain()
  • #188246 by deekayen, mfb et al.: some icon and class definitions were missing from dblog, causing notice level errors themselves
  • #214516 by mfb: Add the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) to the allowed protocol list in filter_xss_bad_protocol().
  • #253577 by Morbus Iff, nevergone: Allow setting comment timestamp in comment_save(). Enabled import scripts to import dates for comments.
  • #208270 reported by Dries, patch by jvandyk: it was not possible to clear the XML-RPC error cache, making it impossible to do multiple queries in one request. Add xmlrpc_clear_error() and slightly modify xmlrpc_error() to fix.
  • #257912 by douggreen and Damien Tournoud: improve performance of search indexing by swapping two queries for the one which is successful more often
  • #254242 report by bwooster47, patch by dropcube: (regression) preview forcing on nodes had its setting kept, but was not enforced in code; restoring Drupal 5 behavior
  • #213699 reported by gpk, patch by c960657: Race condition in sess_write() caused duplicate entry errors in the sessions table, fix that.
  • #201799 by yched, quicksketch: compute identation width for draggables better, counting on padding and margin as well as measuring the width at the place where it is used (taking possible CSS overrides into account)
  • #230932 follow up by drumm, drewish: Capitalize false to FALSE (minor code style fix).
  • #308713 by fletchgqc: The database schema for locale module allows for 128 chars in the domain name, so the form should allow up to that length as well (instead of 64).
  • #228761 by zsanmartin, roborn: Installer did not recognize language files with dashes in them, such as pt-pt or zh-hans. Fixing pattern and pt-pt language code.
  • #297952 by aaron, merlinofchaos, dvessel: Reserve the 'template_file' variable instead of the too generic 'file' for template file inclusion. This makes 'file' available for themes.
  • follow up to #280621 by lilou: the object tag was disallowed in a previous version in filter_xss_admin(), so disallow param as well, which is only meaningful inside an object tag
  • #277214 reported by Damien Tournoud, patch by dereine, lilou: _load() functions should return FALSE on failure but taxonomy_vocabulary_load() was returning NULL
  • #224006 by Daniel Jalkut: blogapi_metaweblog_get_category_list() verified user access for the given content type but did not log in the user first
  • #158992 by bangpound, sun, Dries: Inline JavaScript was invalid in XHTML. It needs to be properly wrapped in CDATA.
  • #180063 by andremolnar, TheMystic, R.Muilwijk: There was no way to flush form errors during iterative programatic form submission. Slight API expansion.
  • #267724 by cpugeniusmv, dww, maartenvg: Update module was not checking for new data when the cache was cleared, until the set time was elapsed. Now checks on cron after the cache was cleared.
  • #268006 by pwolanin: Help from hook_help() was displayed on 403/404 pages.
  • #299672 by fago, chx: Cache form only if any of its element set #cache to TRUE (not if #cache is set at all)
  • #314564 by m1mic: fix HTML validation in the pushbutton theme - footer paragraph wrapping and bgcolor invalid.
  • #312982 by hass: The text '(source)' was not translatable in translation.pages.inc
  • #184143 by redndahead, tested by yoroy, quicksketch: tableheader.js interfered with #anchors in table rows
  • - Patch #273743 by meba, jsaints: fixed exmaple code.
  • #261148 by chx, pwolanin: The menu's first rebuild does not always happen properly due to race conditions, so look to rebuild the menu if the masks are empty.
  • #268584 by agentrickard, Dries, Rob Loach, webchick: move to a 100 terms per page default for the taxonomy administration pages, since with the current 10 default, the drag and drop ordering is not useful at all.
