更新日志
Drupal 6.0 beta 1, 2007-09-14
----------------------
- New, faster and better menu system.
- New watchdog as a hook functionality.
   * New hook_watchdog that can be implemented by any module to route log
     messages to various destinations.
   * Expands the severity levels from 3 (Error, Warning, Notice) to the 8
     levels defined in RFC 3164.
   * The watchdog module is now called dblog, and is optional, but enabled by
     default in the default install profile.
   * Extended the database log module so log messages can be filtered.
   * Added syslog module: useful for monitoring large Drupal installations.
- Added optional e-mail notifications when users are approved, blocked, or
  deleted.
- Added versioning support to categories by associating them with node
  revisions.
- Drupal works with error reporting set to E_ALL.
- Added scripts/drupal.sh to execute Drupal code from the command line. Useful
  to use Drupal as a framework to build command-line tools.
- Made signature support optional and made it possible to theme signatures.
- Made it possible to filter the URL aliases on the URL alias administration
  screen.
- Language system improvements:
    * Support for right to left languages.
    * Language detection based on parts of the URL.
    * Browser based language detection.
    * Made it possible to specify a node's language.
    * Support for translating posts on the site to different languages.
    * Language dependent path aliases.
    * Automatically import translations when enabling new modules.
    * Automatically import translations when adding a new language.
    * JavaScript interface translation.
    * Automatically import a module's translation upon enabling that module.
- Moved "PHP input filter" to a stand-alone module so it can be deleted for
  security reasons.
- Usability:
    * Improved handling of teasers in posts.
    * Added sticky table headers.
    * Check for clean URL support automatically with JavaScript.
    * Removed default/settings.php. Instead the installer will create it from
      default.settings.php.

    * Remember anonymous comment posters.
    * Only allow modules and themes to be enabled that have explicitly been
      ported to the right core API version.
    * Can now specify the minimum PHP version required for a module within the
      .info file.
    * Dynamically check password strength and confirmation.
- Theme system:
    * Added .info files to themes and made it easier to specify regions and
      features.
    * Added theme registry: modules can directly provide .tpl.php files for
      their themes without having to create theme_ functions.
    * Used the Garland theme for the installation and maintenance pages.
    * Added theme preprocess functions for themes that are templates.
    * Added support for themeable functions in JavaScript.
- Refactored update.php to a generic batch API to be able to run time consuming
  operations in multiple subsequent HTTP requests.
- Installer:
    * Themed the installer with the Garland theme.
    * Added form to provide initial site information during installation.
    * Added ability to provide extra installation steps programmatically.

- Performance:
    * Made it easier to conditionally load include files and split up many core
      modules.
    * Added a JavaScript aggregator and compressor.
    * Added block-level caching, improving performance for both authenticated
      and anonymous users.
    * Made Drupal work correctly when running behind a reverse proxy like
      Squid or Pound.
- File handling improvements:
    * Entries in the files table are now keyed to a user, and not a node.
    * Added re-usable validation functions to check for uploaded file sizes,
      extensions, and image resolution.
    * Added ability to create and remove temporary files during a cron job.
- Forum improvements:
    * Any node type may be posted in a forum.

  and warn sites if they are missing security updates or newer versions.

- Added a new Schema API, which provides built-in support for core and
  contributed modules to work with databases other than MySQL.
