This patch includes refreshing of borked files in file pool and basic prevention of race conditions. It also helps with diagnosing of file pool permission problems, detects coding errors and some other type of problems including sha1 collision jackpot.
Not all add-ons require administrator's attention during the upgrade
now. They are now listed only if there is an update available for them.
Also, it's not true any more that add-ons must be updated manually. They
can be updated using the automatic deployment feature, too.
This change is a large change to the way sessions are handled
within MUC after it was discovered that session did not function
as expected when any store other than the default session store
was being used.
As part of this change the session loader has been largely
customised in order to consolidate session data for the loader.
The unit tests have also being greatly increased to provide
better coverage for sessions.
- 'List of courses' is split into 'List of courses' (available) and 'Enrolled courses', CFG->disablemycourses is deprecated;
- CFG->frontpageloggedin by default shows list of available courses;
- There is separate item to display course search box
- CFG->maxcoursesincombo is deprecated
- CFG->maxcategorydepth changed default value to 2 since we have AJAX loading now
- FRONTPAGECOURSELIMIT is transformed to CFG->frontpagecourselimit
c
moodle/blog:associatemodule and moodle/blog:associatecourse should not be used
anymore as per the discussion in the issue. Everyone is free to blog about anything
they want to blog about.
Plugins may use this general tool for uninstallation and eventually
removal of the deployed source code. At the moment, this is implemented
as a wrapper for the core function uninstall_plugin() with an extra hook
in the relevant plugin info subclass.
For non-standard add-ons, the tool can remove the deployed plugin source
code as well, if the web server has required write permissions. Ideally,
all add-ons installed via the new tool_installaddon should be removable
via the web interface as well.
- Core upgrade MUST NOT call rebuild_course_cache() at all - update DB directly instead
- Plugins MUST call rebuild_course_cache(.., TRUE) for clearing the course cache and can not update DB directly
- Plugins MUST NOT call rebuild_course_cache() unless for clearing the cache
- Created function upgrade_ensure_not_running() to be included in other functions that can not be used during upgrade
The badges feature allows to integrate Mozilla "Open Badges" to issue, assign,
manage and display digital badges in Moodle. This feature supports:

-- Moodle block to display latest badges
* added new config option to determine length of courses returned by import
* added text indicator if there are more than X number of courses, similar to how the restore course list currently works
- Course categories caches are purged by event now
- session cache has additional 10 minutes ttl to clear itself and accomodate for permission changes that do not trigger event purging
- additional request-level cache for coursecat::get()
- We store only children of one category in one cache key
- Function coursecat::get_children() can return results sorted and/or paginated. Added tests
GD PHP extension is now required. Add-ons need to remove $CFG->gdversion tests. The worst case regression is that add-on will think GD is not available.
