Apologies for dumbness but... I understood that 4.5 would include node-level permissions amongst other things. I've just installed CVS and can't find any such anywhere. I've trawled through the documentation, and it looks to me as if 4.5 in fact just includes a framework, and that in order to get the node-level permissions, I would in fact have to download and install node_perm module or some such. Please can someone help with three questions:
1) Is this indeed the case?
2) Will this still be the case when 4.5 is released?
3) Is this written down somewhere, how it all works and which modules I should need?

Many thanks to all for the wondrous Drupal

Your findings are quite correct. Drupal 4.5 will include only the API for node level access controll. There are modules available in a developer's sandbox, but they are not really usable for end users right now.

We hope that by the time we release Drupal 4.5 one or more such modules will be available as a contrib project. The one that will show to be most popular will likely be included with the Drupal 4.6 release.

If you have troubles with a particular contrib project, please consider to file a support request. Thanks.
