Drupal 4.6.1 Download link not updated

The "Download Drupal 4.6.1" link on the Drupal home page points to version 4.6.0.

It should point to .

BTW. A list of modified modules would be handy, so modules which other modules patch (like taxonomy.module which is patched by taxonomy_access can be avoided or flagged).

BBCode from 4.5 not being Parsed in 4.6?

Hi,

Im aware (i think..) that the bbcode from my 4.5 install (several thousand posts) would not be parsed unless i had the bbcode module in place in 4.6, but it's not available yet for 4.6 and i'd like to upgrade.

Can anyone suggest a workaround? I have all this unparsed bbcode being spit out on the pages and really need to convert it to html i guess...

thanks for any help!

Can't create empty forum container on Drupal 4.6

After upgrading to Drupal 4.6 from Drupal 4.5.2, I tried to create an empty forum container like the ones I created using the previous version. I tried several times with no success.

Check: http://capmex.biz/forum/

I added a new forum called "Community Forum" which it was supposed to be just a container of three children forums, if you visit the site you can see that it doesn't look like the previous containers (Web Design Forum, Showcase and Web Hosting Forum).

Fixing damaged PostgreSQL drupal databases

Once I've found I can continue using Drupal with PostgreSQL, here comes my next problem.

Apparently, my database has been getting more and more damaged on the trip from Drupal 4.1 (with alpha psql support) to 4.5. Right now, the site works at first glance, but quite a few things don't:

- it seems all the sequences were reset, or are not working properly. Doing stuff like creating a new vocabulary won't work.
- node hit count stopped working after the 4.5 upgrade
- psql permissions in the database might be wrong, and could be the root of all of this b0rkage.
- in general, I haven't completed an upgrade successfully since 4.2, I think I always need to cleanup due to the database inconsistency.

So, what can I do to fixup the database?

First I'd need to identify what parts of it are not synced with the current clean template.
I'll also have to go over all the sequence tables and check that they are correct. Can anyone tell me how to tell if the sequences are synchronised?
Finally, how should the database permissions look like? Right now, it's a mess, some tables look like this:
public | accesslog | {postgres=a*r*w*d*R*x*t*/postgres,triatlo=arwdRxt/postgres}
Others, like this:
public | comments_seq | {triatlo=a*r*w*d*R*x*t*/triatlo}
Others, which definitely look wrong (my psql user is in there):

Migrating from PEAR to MySQL

Hey!

I've been a Drupal user since 4.1, and I've always used PostgreSQL as my backend database. I know, MySQL was the way, but I had the feeling that PostgreSQL/PEAR support would get better and better over time.

Anyway, PEAR support was finally dropped on 4.6, and I find myself in the cold, with a silly PostgreSQL database with lots of data that I'd like to convert to MySQL before upgrading to 4.6.

Does anyone have past experiences with this type of migration, or do I definitely need to start from scratch (which would trully suck)?

TIA!
