New method added block_base::get_content_for_external().
It will return all the block contents rendered for external functions.
If your block is returning formatted content or provide files for download,
you should override this method to use the external_format_text,
external_format_string functions for formatting or
external_util::get_area_files for files.
See block_html as example.
Change the display name of the my overview block to Course overview to
match the block it is replacing (and the UX prototype).
The use of "My" is no longer recommended when naming things in Moodle.
block_base->config_save is not used anywhere any more. If contributed plugins
rely on it, it makes no difference since it is not being called, if they do
something like $this->config_save or parent::config_save somewhere in their
block class instance, this will still work as deprecated function will handle
it.
This patch includes:
* version column removed from modules table, now using standard config, this allows decimal version for modules
* version column removed from block table, now using standard config, this allows decimal version for blocks
* module version.php can safely use $plugins instead of module
* new plugin_manager bulk caching, this should help with MUC performance when logged in as admin
* all missing plugins are now in plugin overview (previously only blocks and modules)
* simplified code and improved coding style
* reworked plugin_manager unit tests - now using real plugins instead of mocks
* unit tests now fail if any plugin does not contain proper version.php file
* allow uninstall of deleted filters
