Navigation has now been re-ordered in accordance with http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Navigation_2.0_structure.
This has led to several changes in the way in which navigation is generated included API changes, most notably using the
navigation_nodes add method now returns the newly added node rather than the key.
At the same time the global_navigation_tree block has been renamed to navigation and settings_navigation_tree to settings.
Very big theme changes, standardold theme has been split into two themes base and standard. Base theme contains only CSS that is absolutly required (e.g. layout, white space rules, specific widths) and standard (which now looks like standardwhite) contains all the frills.
The following noteable changes have also been made:
* Plugin CSS has been pushed back into the plugin directories as styles.css files.
* Install_print_header has been corrected.
* Redundant or deprecated rules have been removed.
* Several minor class changes throughout Moodle.
* CSS is now single line rules not multiline indented.
* Installs with theme=standardold automatically switch to standard.
* body classes / id now have prefixes to make it clearer what they are and avoid conflicts.
Also worth noting:
* There is still alot of tweaking that is required to get everything looking as it is supposed to, please be patient or better yet help out.
* I am currently working on the documentation for the themes system... it will be here soon.
Please forgive me if I have missed converting any output statements. If you do find an output statement that is not formatting correctly please refere to the table I added to this bug in regards to how it should be formatted.
This patch introduces two new blocks global_navigation_tree and settings_navigation_tree
both of which have been designed to make full use of the new navigation objects available through
the $PAGE object.
Bulk of this code is within lib/navigationlib.php
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.
