domain 6.x-2.5

This release cleans up some error handling in previous versions. It also enforces the standard that all domains be in lowercase.

After installing this release, you must run Drupal's update.php.

New Feature

-- You can now add, append, or remove domains during batch updates. See #757746: please add different way for "Change affiliate publishing options" by drupalok. Better options for batch updates.

-- Domain Settings can now be applied to all domains at once. See #755456: What does Domain Settings affect? by Michelle. Allow Domain Settings to reset all values.

-- Domain Access can now be disabled when running XMLRPC commands. See #775028: Disable domain access for xmlrpc by brucepearson. Allow DA to be disabled for XMLRPC.

-- Errors in loading the module will now be handled more gracefully, and error messages may be disabled. See #774692: Googlebot visits trigger unique, mysterious errors in DA and MySQL by hawkdrupal. Allow the error sequence to be skipped. Load default domain in event of installation failure to prevent SQL errors.

-- Domain-specific Views caching! See patch #782208: Create views plugin for caching views by domain by bleen18. Excellent Views caching patch.

-- domain_save() function for developers. patch #761556: Tiny edits to domain_form/domain_form_submit for re-usability by hefox. Better abstraction for domain creation. New domain_save() function.

-- hook_domain_validate_alter() for developers. Allows changing the error handling for domain validation. See #785818: Force domains to be lowercase when using batch/subdomain.
