When fetching the list of tasks to run, we were using the _process_
start time as a base. The various task fetchers (adhoc and scheduled)
only fetch tasks which were due to run _before_ this time.
With the new keepalive setting, we need to pass both the process start
time, and the run start time. We need to use the process start time to
determine whether MUC caches have been cleared since the process
started. but the run start time to fetch recent runs.
Agreed @ MDLSITE-7135, this completely removes the Travis CI
integration with a note in the lib/upgrade.txt file, pointing
to the currently supported GHA alternative.
These new settings are designed to enchance user privacy surrounding
groups. They allow groups to be configured so that users outside the
group cannot see the group, so that users in the group cannot see each
other, or so that users cannot see the group at all, even if they are in
it. This avoids issues where a group may be assigned based on sensitive
personal information (such as a person requiring special arrangements
due to a disability).
By default, groups are visible to all and available for participation in
activities, which maintains the current behaviour.
For performance, a new cache has been added to track the number of
groups on a course that are not visible to non-members. This allows us
to revert to the existing behaviour if the new features are not being
used at all on a course, and only apply the new visibility conditions if
they are.
Users who have the moodle/course:viewhiddengroups capability should be
concious of exposing hidden groups when showing their screen to other
users. The "Switch role to..." feature can be used to show a course page
on screen without exposing private availability conditions, for example.
The changes cover several specific areas:
* grouplib functions, which most code should use to get lists of groups
and members (this includes the participants page).
* Activities supporting group overrides will not allow overrides for
groups that are hidden from all users.
* Activities supporting separate/visible groups modes will only allow
groups with the new "participation" flag enabled to be selected.
* Group messaging will be disabled for groups where members cannot see
each other, or cannot see the group at all.
A new grunt task, upgradablelibs, has been added in order to get the
list of libraries that have a newer version in their repositories.

We now include more polyfills than we have ever done, and some of these
cause false-positives on our code to address modules which do not have a
name.
We started adding module names to modules in Moodle 3.8 at _build_ time
and kept support for modules which were not transpiled using Babel
before that point.
We no longer need to support this as all pre-3.8 Moodle versions are
long out of support. The most recent to go out of support was Moodle
3.5, which went completely out of support in May 2021.
We should not support code written and minified without a transpilation
phase from this time any longer.
For hidden grade items we used to mark students as completed if
they have any grade. But this was not working correctly when we
also set pass grade for activity and completion criteria based
on pass grade. So we will have these completion states
Competion criteria 'Receive grade':
No grade - COMPLETION_INCOMPLETE
Grade visible, achieved passing grade - COMPLETION_COMPLETE_PASS
Grade visible, failed passing grade - COMPLETION_COMPLETE_FAIL
Grade hidden - COMPLETION_COMPLETE
Completion criteris 'Receive passing grade'
No grade - COMPLETION_INCOMPLETE
Grade visible, achieved passing grade - COMPLETION_COMPLETE_PASS
Grade visible, failed passing grade - COMPLETION_COMPLETE_FAIL
Grade hidden, achieved passing grade - COMPLETION_COMPLETE_PASS
Grade hidden, failed passing grade - COMPLETION_COMPLETE_FAIL_HIDDEN
In PHP 8.1, any implicit conversion of float to int, which leads to a loss in precision, is now deprecated.
To avoid the error warning, the code must explicitly convert a floating value to an integer.
* Add "Preview" and "Use this preset" menus to the preset plugin page's
burger menu
* Refactor importmapping dialogue to use the 'data-action' selector
* Add a new set_kebab_trigger action menu method
* Use set_additional_classes method for action menu
* Remove redundant parameter to add_action_menu
At the moment, quiz_statistics\task\recalculate gives no useful
information about what it is doing, which makes it hard to investigate
if the task fails. This commit makes it more usefully verbose.
Also, following this change, one instance of this task will not
run for more than one hour at a time.
As part of this commit, I have added a new helper mtrace_exception.
to consistently log exceptions in scheduled tasks. It is sad to
add a new function to moodlelib.php, but that seemed the logical place.
Looking at other tasks, this method is badly needed. Many are just
logging the ->getMessage() which is normaly insufficient for proper
debugging. However, swiching all existing tasks to use the new function
will need to wait for a future MDL.
