"By clearly separating prototype implementations from mainstream browser product ones, we can avoid many negative consequences."
--> Yeah... Can they quote at least ONE mainstream website that uses 'prototype implementations' such as WebSockets or IndexedDB? Nope? Then they might as well shut up... ::)

* Renamed linktree classes to IDs and rewrote template to avoid using non-semantic code to show the arrows. (index.template.php, index.css, rtl.css, Nix/index.css)
* French translation. (ModerationCenter.french.php)

rev 465
+ Added support for cat bars as list headers. Dunno, it just felt like the only way to easily fix page logic... (ManageServer.php, Subs-List.php, GenericList.template.php)
! Fixed regression introduced in rev 440 that caused URLs to be incorrectly transformed when they had a page start value. (PrettyUrls-Filters.php)
* Micro-optimization for a preg_replace. Actually, this could be turned into a simple str_replace with a trick or two. Would probably be worth benchmarking. (QueryString.php, Subs.php)
(Sorry for the regression!)

rev 463
* Slightly enlarged source code viewer in the error log. Since it can never be too large... (ManageErrors.php)
! Fixed undefined index error when viewing a subscription with no allowed groups. (Profile-Actions.php)
- Removed unneeded '-sections' from CSS file URLs. (Subs.php)
! Not sure why, but unlink() would sometimes fail on cache files, even if they're confirmed to exist. Stat cache anyone? (Subs.php)
* CSS editor font was too small. (Themes.template.php)
* More title/cat balancing. (Admin.template.php)

rev 461
- Removed $settings['theme_version'], as it's a compatibility setting for SMF1/2. Will reimplement if ever needed... Probably not! (Subs-Menu.php, Subs.php, index.template.php)
- Removed other unused compatibility variables. (Subs.php)
* More jQuery conversions and, possibly, the final removal of inlined JS code. Yay! Only got AeMe code left to convert now... It'll come in time. (ManageMembergroups.template.php, ManageSearch.template.php, ManageSmileys.template.php, PersonalMessage.template.php, Register.template.php, Search.template.php)
@ The Membergroups stuff also had indentation bugs. And it used to be faster without jQuery. Ah, well. Can't have everything. (ManageMembergroups.template.php)

rev 459
- Rewrote CSS hack for the WYSIWYG editor in IE to something that actually makes sense and takes 2 lines of code instead of 74. (Class-Editor.php, editor_ie.css, ie6.css, ie7.css, ie8.css, editor.js)
! A few popup windows were missing the UTF-8 attribute while $txt was being used in them. (Errors.php, ViewQuery.php, Errors.template.php)
! Validation error with IE6. (index.template.php)
* Keeping up with changing cat/title header logic where needed. (Admin.template.php)
* Avoid an error in reattribute posts feature, if JS is disabled. (ManageMaintenance.php)
* As always, \w is the winner when it comes to regular expressions. (Subs.php)
* More JS moved to the footer. (Errors.template.php, ManageNews.template.php)
* Minor changes. (QueryString.php, index.css, Post.template.php)
+ Added a smaller logo for use in the next styling. (minilogo.png) (not documented in the SVN, sorry.)
(Another one coming up...)
rev 460
* Rewrote member maintenance area to use jQuery. Also fixed a few SMF UI bugs in that area. (ManageMaintenance.template.php)
* More JS code moved to the footer. (ManagePermissions.template.php)
! Code viewer in the error log was buggy. Fixed presentation with a dirty hack, I'm afraid. Compensated for the extra bytes by micro-optimizing strings in that function and using a jQuery hack found in its source code for cancelling event propagation. I'm clinically insane. (script.js)
! More French translation fixes. And I thought 2 months spent on that back in 2008 were enough... (Admin.french.php)
* Minor changes. (theme.js)

* Some windowbg/windowbg2 classes were missing their system wrc class. Reviewing all files to determine if they can be added. WIP. (upgrade.php, Class-Editor.php, Subs.php)
* Started work on reordering cat_bar's against title_bar's. (Admin.template.php, Packages.template.php)
! $reservedTables was incorrectly declared as $reservedTypes, causing a crash. (Class-DBPackages.php)

* Used shorthands on a few long CSS declarations. (index.css)
- Some useless styles on legend tags. (admin.css)

Re: Audrey Hepburn... My, you weren't even born when she passed away. And I was already old enough to mourn her like a lost first love. :(Quote from Dragooon on January 8th, 2011, 11:15 AM No expansion plans for now. Of course we'll "take" more devs in the future, once the codebase is stable and clean enough to be manipulated by others (hopefully). However there'll be a probably long transition period where we're personally review each of the patches before we merge them into the trunk. Obviously it depends on how much exhausted we are at that point. But right now, I don't see us as taking any proper developers in 2011. Maybe guest developers, for specific features, clearly outlined in the source code.
Yeah Pete, why not try. But I'm quite used to SVN by now and don't really see a point to use anything else. As for code conflicts, it's usually due to me not correctly updating my copy before I commit it.
I can see it being beneficial when there's a proper release cycle, along with 2 people who have some radically different ideas because then branching makes sense. Plus you guys do seek to expand, don't you?

! When using gravatars, pages would no longer validate. Thankfully, Gravatar.com seems to support ";" URL separators, so no need to wonder about turning ampersands into entities. (Subs.php)

rev 455
+ Added support for stylings in the WYSIWYG CSS editor. (Themes.template.php)
+ Implemented a way to disable CSS caching and showing links directly for admins. Needed by the above. (QueryString.php, Subs.php)
+ Can you believe I actually forgot to implement replace-type stylings...? Unfortunately, this forces Wedge to load settings.xml for all nested stylings, but there's obviously no workaround for that. (Subs.php)
* Made CSS preview box a bit taller (from 300 to 400 pixels.) (Themes.template.php)
* More inline JS moved to the footer. (Profile.template.php)
BUG: if you browse your website from within the CSS preview iframe, it seems like the LAST component in the query string is ignored. i.e. ?action=pm with bring you to the board index, and ?action=pm;sa=send will show you the PM front page. I've been unable to find the reason for this. But frankly, this is better than nothing. Pete, let's say it bluntly, I spent hours on fixing this feature I never saw before, and I'm totally pissed off by the number of issues I had to fix. I can live with that one. If you want to look into it, please be my guest because I just won't do it.
NOTE: not yet actually committed. We both modified Subs.php (the joys of Subversion...), so it won't let me commit until I'm up to date. I'll look at your changes now, but while I'm at it: is there any point in showing a box and hiding it via JS? I mean, users with JS disabled will have a problem with it, *and* anyone writing a bot to pass through the Wedge CAPTCHA *will* notice that anyway and simply prevent the bot from filling it any other inputs... No?
Also: your strftime stuff... What exactly does it do and fix? Is that a bug that happens everywhere?

! Fixed Javascript for CSS editor preview (it even had a leftover of pre-getXMLDocument era!), but it's pointless as right now it supports neither stylings, nor CSS caching. Anyone up for fixing that? Uh? Don't be so shy. (Themes.template.php)
! More jQuery fixin'. (Profile.template.php)
! Fixed IE6 margins for hr's. Untested. (ie6.css)
- Leftover debug code. (Themes.template.php)
I can't believe I've been spending the last few hours debugging the css editor, when I never knew this thing existed before today.... :^^;:
It's not working, but at least I've made some progress.
BTW Pete, I think the 'default board language' setting doesn't work. I mean it works, but I've noticed it overrides my very own default language. (i.e. I forced a board to English and even though my language is set to French, it showed in English.)
Don't have time to work on checking that myself.
