• Added a calendar system that can be used for showing public/private events and birthdays.
• Added a config option so admins can choose who can add public events to the calendar.

• Added an option to show the user's age when displaying birthdays.

• Reworked the search engine. New options include searching only subjects or subjects and body. Searching for keywords by a particular user. Searching between a date range, older than a certain date, newer than a certain date. Showing a preview of the post body with the results. More complex searches using + (required word) and - (posts that don't contain a word).

• Cut 1 query out of showflat.php.
• Cut 1 query out of showthreaded.php

• Moved all thread management tools, move thread, stick/unstick thread, delete thread, (un)lock thread and (un)keep thread out of the edit post screen and down to the bottom of showflat/showthreaded. This will make managing threads a bit quicker and easier for admins/moderators.

• Added in a config option so admins can specify how long users are displayed in "Who's Online" after they have been inactive.
• Modified movepost/movethread so it returns you to the original forum instead of the forum you moved the post/thread to.
• Reworked the forum listing under the subscriptions portion of the user profile so it lists what category each forum belongs to. Useful if you have forums with the same name under multiple categories.
• Created a new send_mail function for sending out emails. Modifed each script that sends out email to call the function instead of mail() directly. This will give a central place for any future mail modifications instead of needing to edit multiple scripts.

• Added a new icon on the postlist screen in the new table cell that helps designate topics that are attached to a calendar event. Thanks to Joshpet for the image.
• Added a configurable caching system to cache some things that don't change that often. At this point, that includes total # of users, newest user and today's birthdays. This cuts off 3 queries from the main page when used.
• Added the configuration for the cache settings into the admin -> editconfig area.
