I've noticed in recent months I'm finding many of the Drupal 6's new core features, can be added to Drupal 5 via contrib modules.

Here is my set list...
Are there others?

  • Diff
  • Javascript Aggregator
  • Theme Settings API
  • Update Status
  • Password Strength
  • Open ID ( but I've had problems with it )

Some forward, some backward

This is a little of the drupal 6 core being moved to contrib and some of contrib moving to drupal 6 core.

Both openid and actions moved from contrib to core. Yet, what's in core is a lot better than what's in contrib.

Password strength, update status and the javascript aggregator are examples of drupal 6 features moved back to drupal 5.

The best features from drupal 6 can't be moved back though. Like the new menu system or CSS only themes.
