* Removed outputpixfinders.php and put that code back in outputlib.php
* Created labelled_html_component class and subclassed all appropriate components from it
* Added component::add_confirm_action($message) as a shortcut for adding a confirmation popup
* Fixed bug in close_window_button()
rowclass property has been deprecated, rowclasses should be used.
Direct assigning of the class has been deprecated,
moodle_html_elements::set_classes() should be used instead. In both
cases, debugging message is displayed.
The code to print blocks in now in theme layout.php files. (Or in
moodle_core_renderer::handle_legacy_theme)
Code for printing blocks everywhere else has been stripped out.

The way the HTML for a block instance is generated has been cleaned
up a lot. Now, the block_instance generates a block_contents
object which gives a structured representation of the block,
and then $OUTPUT->block builds all the HTML from that.
How theme config.php files specify the layout template and block
regions by page general type has been changed to be even more flexible.
Further refinement for how the theme and block code gets initialised.
Ability for scrits to add 'pretend blocks' to the page. That is,
things that look like blocks, but are not normal block_instances.
(Like the add a new block UI.)
Things that are still broken:
* some pages in lesson, quiz and resource. I'm working on it.
* lots of developer debug notices pointing out things that
need to be updated.
moodle_url::get_query_string() and moodle_url::out() now accept new
optional parameter. Backwards compatible. This is needed so we can use returned URL
during redirect() which expects unescaped ampersands.
This is part of http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Theme_engines_for_Moodle%3F
$THEME is now initialised at the same time as $OUTPUT. Old functions like
theme_setup are deprecated in favour of methods on $PAGE. There is a new
theme_config class in outputlib.php that deals with loading the theme config.php file.
CSS used to be served by themes styles.php files calling a function in weblib.php.
Now it works by each theme's styles.php file doing
$themename = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../theme/styles.php');
which is less code to be copied into each theme. (Old-style styles.php files still
work thanks to some code in deprecatedlib.php.)
Admin UI for choosing a theme cleaned up.
A couple of theme-specific hard-coded hacks like $THEME->cssconstants and
$THEME->CSSEdit have been replaced by a more generic $THEME->customcssoutputfunction
hook. See examples at the end of outputlib.php
Also:
* Fix setting the theme in the URL, which seems to have been broken since 1.9.
* Fix up errors on a few pages caused by the new initialisation order.
* MDL-19097 moodle_page::set_course should not set $COURSE unless it is $PAGE.
* httpsrequired() from moodlelib.php moved to $PAGE->https_required().
* Move has_started() method to the renderer base class.
* Further fixes to display of early errors.
* Remove print_header/footer_old from weblib. I did not mean to commit them before.
The custom-corners-specific code now in theme/customcornser/renderers.php
and lib/deprecatedlib.php.
Also, $CFG->pixpath is now causing more problems than ever. If it is
giving your problems, please call $OUTPUT->initialise_deprecated_cfg_pixpath()
as a temporary fix. As you can imagine, we are thinking about a better
long-term fix, which is why that method as a silly, and easy to grep name.
