The most notable one is the new online assignment type, which is a good
example of how little code really needs to be written to make new
assignment types now.
============================
This new assignment module allows Plugin Assignment types. This should
allow a whole lot of new stuff to easily be placed in Moodle without
making the modules list longer for no good reason.
This checkin is still a really rough version that needs work on it.
Normally I would want it better than this to check in, but I need
to collaborate with Shane on the remaining code and CVS is the best
way.
Give it a day or two to settle in. :-)
This is the last thing I wanted to get into 1.5. Getting close now!!
Cheers!

The visibility of coursemodules is now always set through the function set_coursemodule_visible() in order to make sure that the associated events get updated in the calendar appropriately.
If moving a coursemodule to a hidden section then the module is set to hidden as well and its events are hidden in the calendar.
If deleting a coursemodule its events are deleted from the calendar.
The function choose_from_menu() has an extra optional argument $disabled which, when set to true, will disable the menu.
For the sake of consistency the function set_groupmode_for_module has been renamed to set_coursemodule_groupmode and the functions show_course_module() and hide_course_module() have been combined to set_coursemodule_visible().
------------------------
Added a small new feature to the assignment module to alert teachers when
new emails come in. This feature adds one new field (which is tested) but
the operation of the new code has not been tested yet at all (apart from
PHP syntax) and very likely has bugs in it.
I'm checking this in so I can do tests on test.moodle.com which has email
set up properly.
I'm off to bed right now but if anyone else wants to test this feature
before tomorrow please do! :-)
While I'm rambling here in CVS, I need to have a good look soon at Pablo's work
on Assignment and see if I can merge it all in...
These are the changes from MOODLE_13_STABLE, merged into trunk
The tag MOODLE_13_MERGED on the MOODLE_13_STABLE branch now refers to this point
The biggest changes here are the fixes for HTML editor in all standard modules
1) There is a new site-wide configuration variable called maxbytes,
which provides an upper filesize limit for all (student) uploads.
2) There is a new course-level variable called maxbytes, which further
limits uploads within a course.
3) There is a new maxbytes field for forums, which further restricts
the size allowed in a particular forum. There is also a new config
variable in the module configuration to specify a default size
to use when defining a new forum.
4) Assignments already had a limit, but this is now aware of the other
limits, and like forums there is now a settable default value.
5) Finally, the sizes of files (Gb, Mb, Kb, bytes) is now translatable
in the language packs.
This type of assignment doesn't require anything of the student online,
it just tells them about an assignment and the teacher can provide
feedback and grades. Useful for offline activities, and also for the
teacher to add manual columns to the grades page
