Print "(xxxx projects)" after each category-name instead of just "(xxx)". * config.php: Enable $cat_show_num_projects by default. * db.php: Shortened some variable-names. * inc.php: Special-case the 'Browse' link in the link-bar so that it's properly <STRONG>'ed, too. Removed some useless comments. * search.php: Improve the next/prev functionality. It shows '[...]' if there are too many entries, now. * statistics.php: Use $category_status_unmaintained and friends.

Cosmetic changes. * addproject.php: Added new policy: If a project has not been updated in over 2 years (neither homepage, nor a new release nor CVS activity etc...) then you can email the author and ask if he still maintains the project. If he doesn't, or you don't hear from him within 2 weeks, you can add that project to Unmaintained Free Software. * config.php: Added $license_category_id (should not be changed!). * db.php: Added categories_get_all_subcategories(). * statistics.php: Added a 'TOP10 Licenses' list.

Removed link to the webalizer statistics, because they're not available anymore...

Several other smaller fixes and changes. * config.php: Major changes... Renamed lots of variables for more consistency. Improved comments. Removed obsolete cruft (e.g. the reason_strings array). * db.php: Renamed lots of functions for more consistency. Major database layout changes. Removed lots of obsoleted functions and added a few new ones. Work a lot more with (inner) joins and do not emulate this database feature with PHP code anymore. Several smaller fixes. * inc.php: Updated header and footer. Removed some cruft. If we print the project_box in preview-mode do not make '[Update]' and '[Details]' links. Do not print some obsolete fields in the news-boxes and project-boxes anymore, e.g. license or status. Added print_add_or_update_form() which is used by addproject.php and updateproject.php. * inc.php, index.php: Replace '&&' with 'and'. Replace '||' with 'or' everywhere. * index.php: Removed the 'Categories' box at the right. You can view all categories by following the link 'Browse' at the top... Renamed several functions and variables. * preview.php: Adapt to the database layout changes and the categories handling changes... Updated some links to files which changed their name. Misc. other fixes. * search.php: Heavily improved prev/next functionality.

I hope this works... * editform.php: Removed old cruft. * inc.php: Fixed a typo: iso-8559-1 should really be iso-8859-1... Fixed a HTML 4.01 incompatibility. Display the 'Status' field in the newsbox. Previously it was only displayed in the Index-record box. Use eregi() instead of ereg(), so that case doesn't matter. The source_of_info field is now printed as a '<A HREF="foo">bar</A>' line if it starts with 'http://' or 'ftp://'. * preview.php: Removed two unnecessary calls to htmlspecialchars(). Sat Mar 10 21:54:51 CET 2001 Uwe Hermann <> * about.php: Added more goals of this site and reworded some parts. * addform.php: Do not offer the choice of the status of the project being 'Maintained' if this is the first announce on Unmaintained Free Software, because all projects must start with a status of 'Unmaintained' or 'Obsolete'. * statistics.php: Rename the 'Maintained projects' to 'Projects which have found a new maintainer', which is clearer. Sat Mar 10 18:54:46 CET 2001 Uwe Hermann <> * README, TODO, addform.php: Updates. * TODO, about.php, addform.php, all.php, config.php, editform.php, preview.php, search.php: Consistently use the word 'project' instead of application, app or package. * about.php, action.php, addform.php, all.php, category.php, changelog.php, contributions.php, downloads.php, editform.php, inc.php, index.php, links.php, onenewsitem.php, preview.php, search.php: Rename ufs_header() to site_header() and ufs_footer() to site_footer() to make the names more generic, just in case someone wants to use this code for some other project than Unmaintained Free Software. * about.php: Removed the 'Add to MyNetscape' image, because I don't know whether or not I can distribute this... I'm using just a plain link to the 'Add to MyNetscape' page now... * all.php: Simplified the code a bit. * all.php, db.php: Renamed a few functions from foo_apps() to foo_projects(). * contributions.php: Some cosmetic changes. Better descriptions. Added links to the bug-tracker, the project page and the discussion forums. * inc.php: Added links to the new Mailinglists page and the new Statistics page.

Make it look a bit better in text-based browsers. * action.php, config.php: Add config-options email_on_update and email_on_newproject. If set to 1, an email is sent to the site maintainer with infos about the new or updated project so he/she can check the submission. If set to 0, this info is entered into the database immediately. * addform.php, config.php, editform.php, inc.php: Do not use hardcoded values for the status field, e.g. 0 == Unmaintained, 1 == Maintained etc., but read the values from $status_strings in config.php. Now it is possible to add other status-fields easily later on, e.g. 3 == Almost-Dead... There's still some things to do to make this work correctly, though... * config.php, db.php, index.php: Added options: num_current_news_items, num_previous_news_items. * contributions.php: Improved documentation. * about.php, downloads.php: Cosmetic changes.

Changed a varchar to char for speed improvements. The fields 'platforms' and 'depends_on' are not varchar(80) anymore, but are now varchar(255).
