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.
* If no active node is found when the navigation is called upon then we attempt to find a best match active node
* Links are now produced with frame breakout actions
* Links ending with / are presumed index.php for matching purposes
When moodle_url was passed as a param to set_url(), the str_replace() kept
the leading '/' in the $shorturl. This then led to the <body> classes
like '-mod-workshop' instead of correct 'mod-workshop' (the slash
replaced with minus sign).
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.

$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.
