The code to print blocks in now in theme layout.php files. (Or in
moodle_core_renderer::handle_legacy_theme)
Code for printing blocks everywhere else has been stripped out.

The way the HTML for a block instance is generated has been cleaned
up a lot. Now, the block_instance generates a block_contents
object which gives a structured representation of the block,
and then $OUTPUT->block builds all the HTML from that.
How theme config.php files specify the layout template and block
regions by page general type has been changed to be even more flexible.
Further refinement for how the theme and block code gets initialised.
Ability for scrits to add 'pretend blocks' to the page. That is,
things that look like blocks, but are not normal block_instances.
(Like the add a new block UI.)
Things that are still broken:
* some pages in lesson, quiz and resource. I'm working on it.
* lots of developer debug notices pointing out things that
need to be updated.
Start calling $PAGE->set_url in all the places it will be necessary
Start of a stub implementation of $PAGE->blocks to stop other things breaking
Remove some of the special case methods in admin_page
* Reorder form fields to group things more logically.
** and on the corresponding admin page too.
* Set some options to be 'Advanced' by default:
** Apply penalties.
** Each attempt builds on the last.
** Decimal places for question grades.
** The five 'Extra restrictions on attempts' settings. (password, etc.)
* Admins can still change this to suit their institiution at Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Quiz.
* These new defaults are applied if the admin had not previously set any fields to be advanced.
* Disable some filds when they are not applicable:
** Grading method, if num attempts = 1
** Penaly scheme, if adaptive mode = no
** Each attempt builds of last, if num attempts = 1
** Review after quiz closed options, if no close date.
** Delay between 1st and 2nd attempts, if num attempts = 1
** Delay between later attempts, if num attempts < 3
* Convert quiz.timelimit to be in seconds, for consistency, and ready for the new duration field type (MDL 18500).
** Including ensuring that backup and restore is backwards compatible.
* MDL-5537 New setting, questiondecimalpoints, so, for example, you can show the quiz grade as an integer, but have fractional question grades.
** There is a 'Same as overall decimal points' option, which is the default.
* Improve some field labels.
* Make corresponding changes in the help files.
1. Fix this by factoring out a quiz_has_grades function.
2. Fix the quiz unit tests.
3. Fix quiz_has_feedback to return false for ungraded quizzes.
4. Fix use of get_records to do record_exists in quiz reports.
MDL-15537 - create oo attemptlib.php to hold shared code between attempt, summary and review.php
MDL-15541 - Refactor starting a new attempt into a new file startattempt.php
MDL-15538 - Rework attempt.php to use attemptlib.php
Also, when the quiz has no questions, disable the Info, Reports and Preview tabs, which, in this case, just redirect back to the Edit tab anyway.
Finally, change a redirect in quiz view.php, which used a relative URL, to a full url starting $CFG->wwwroot.
I also took the opportunity to improve the layout of this message slightly, and clarify the message that tells you that you cannot add or remove questions from the quiz if there are attemts.
