* Data field classes extending data_field_base should implement the get_config_for_external method.
This method is used for returning the field settings for external functions.
You should check the user capabilities of the current user before returning any field setting value.
This is intended to protect field settings like private keys for external systems.
* Required entries has been added to the Activity completion setting of mod_form. Entries required for completion
(in the entries section) is no longer displayed for new instances and will be deprecated in a future release
in favour of the new completion setting.
* data_refresh_events() Now takes two additional parameters to refine the update to a specific instance. This function
now optionally takes the module instance object or ID, and the course module object or ID. Please try to send the full
objects instead of the ids to save DB calls.
=== 3.2 ===
* New hook - update_content_import - Can be implemented by field subplugins data_field_* class
This can be used to pre-process data from a csv file before it is inserted into the database.
