The API was changed slightly so that has_capability now takes the
whole $context object (we almost always have it anyway)
The $kill thing was removed. If you want to assert a capability
then use:
require_capability('capname', $context);
with optional variables to modify the error message
Misc bugs here and there also removed and code tidied
=======================================
WARNING: DEV IS CURRENTLY VERY UNSTABLE.
This is a mega-checkin of the new Roles system. A lot of changes have
been made in core and modules.
Currently there are a lot of rough edges and known problems. We are
working hard on these .. .the reason for getting this into HEAD at this
stage is enable us to move faster (our branch was diverging from HEAD
too much).
Please keep an eye on http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roles for current status
and information for developers on how to use the new Roles system.
Finally, we have an early version good enough for everyone to
start banging on to help us polish it up and find bugs.
Please take a look and file bugs in the bug tracker under "Database module".
We urgently need
- new icons for existing field types
- testing on PostgreSQL install
Coming soon (?):
- Many more field types: calculation, checkbox, relation, date, datetime,
time, email, group, list, user, number, richtext
(Please let us know if you are interested in developing any of these)
- A way to save and restore "presets", which are field/template sets
- Backup/Restore support
- Groups Support
- RSS support
Many thanks to Yu for all the hard work under my whip.
