Recent changes in trunk

[Matthias Bauer]

Current trunk contains a few noteworthy changes:

- New password hashing algorithms. Your existing login cookies will be
invalid, you will need to logout and login again. It is also recommended
to re-set your password to get the benefits of the new hashing.

- New tag parser. Tags are now separated by commas, and things like this
work:

hello, there=>[hello][there] 2 tags
"hello there"=>[hello there] 1 tag
"hello, there"=>[hello, there] 1 tag
'hi, "there"'=>[hi, "there"] 1 tag

For more information, see issue #182:
<http://code.google.com/p/habari/issues/detail?id=182>

- The default theme should now validate as XHTML.

- Related: Habari now sends a charset header of 'utf-8'. Please let us
know whether this breaks anything if you're keeping a foreign language blog.

- On your first visit to the admin panel after upgrading, you'll see a
new welcome message. This will appear exactly once.

- Localization now uses _t(...) instead of __(...), please change your
classes/plugins/themes.

Soooooo....

Considering my late experiences with overwriting file/not dropping db
tables/not installing fresh: do I need to really do a completely
fresh install? Complete with deleting all files prior to uploading
new ones, dropping the db tables, then doing a new install and
reimport my posts from a dump?

There haven't been any changes in the DB schema or defaults in the last
few revisions, so just running svn up or overwriting the files should work.

*IF* things break, however, please try to reproduce on a fresh install.
There might be missing or additional rules in your db, for example.

Heh. Yeah.... considering, there might. Seems as if I'm not a very
good "exemplar" for testing - I tend to do a bunch of stuff that's not
"quite" kosher.... I don't really complain when that happens though -
and I usually CAN reproduce the bork.

Thanks.
