Set the web service functions core_calendar_get_action_events_by_timesort
and core_calendar_get_action_events_by_timesort to use read only
sessions. These functions can hold long session locks
and read-only sessions will prevent them blocking other requests.
Set the web service function core_message_send_instant_messages to use
read-only sessions. This function can take a few seconds to process if
it is sending messages to lots of users, and setting it to use read-only
sessions will prevent it from blocking other requests.
The API was incorrectly assuming that all uses of the API were for a
course, and that the instanceid of the communication instance was a
course id. These assumptions are both entirely wrong.
The API is intended to support a range of uses including use at the
site, user, and activity levels.
Furthermore, if a group were to be used, then the instanceid should be
of that group's id, and therefore the contextid would need to be fetched
or that group's course instead.
The only solution here is to add a new contextid field to the table, and
implement it all parts of the API.
- The PSD icon has been there all this time, but no MIME type was using it.
A new MIME has been added (image/vnd.adobe.photoshop) for the .psd files.
The MIME type for existing PSD files will be also upgraded.
- A new JSON icon has been added. It will be used by the JSON, CSS and SCSS
MIME types.
Replace the bcrypt password hashing algorithm with SHA-512.
Existing bcrypt hashes will be updated to SHA-512 when a user
logs in next. Support for old md5 hashes has been removed.
Any reamining md5 hashes are replaced with SHA-512 hashes
from strong random passwords.
Following MDL-52846 this now finally deprecates and removes the
following classes:
- \core\task\legacy_plugin_cron_task.
- \mod_quiz\task\legacy_quiz_reports_cron
- \mod_quiz\task\legacy_quiz_accessrules_cron
- \mod_workshop\task\legacy_workshop_allocation_cron
Please, use the Task API instead:
https://moodledev.io/docs/apis/subsystems/task
This also removes the corresponding and specific to legacy cron strings
from mod_quiz and mod_workshop.
Following MDL-52846 this now finally deprecates and removes the
functions:
- cron_execute_plugin_type()
- cron_bc_hack_plugin_functions()
Please, use the Task API instead:
https://moodledev.io/docs/apis/subsystems/task

The following MIME icons have been completely removed because they were
not used (they were probably added/kept by mistake):
- clip-353 --> It was added in MDL-75362 by mistake.
- edit
- env
- explore
- folder-open
- help
- move
- parent
Apart from removing these MIME icons, a PHPUnit test has been added to
guarantee MIME icons in pix/f are under control and they are only
added/removed when needed.
In order to reduce the number of icons for the MIME types, a few
icons have been removed and replaced with their generic from
the existing ones:
- avi -> video
- base -> database
- bmp -> image
- html -> markup
- jpeg -> image
- mov -> video
- mp3 -> audio
- mpeg -> video
- png -> image
- quicktime -> video
- tiff -> image
- wav -> audio
- wmv -> video
The `M.util.set_user_preference` method (plus accompanying helpers)
are now deprecated, in favour of the `core_user/repository` module
to achieve the same.
Update current implementation to proxy calls to the new API ensuring
backwards compatibility, while emitting copious developer debugging.
