These new settings are designed to enchance user privacy surrounding
groups. They allow groups to be configured so that users outside the
group cannot see the group, so that users in the group cannot see each
other, or so that users cannot see the group at all, even if they are in
it. This avoids issues where a group may be assigned based on sensitive
personal information (such as a person requiring special arrangements
due to a disability).
By default, groups are visible to all and available for participation in
activities, which maintains the current behaviour.
For performance, a new cache has been added to track the number of
groups on a course that are not visible to non-members. This allows us
to revert to the existing behaviour if the new features are not being
used at all on a course, and only apply the new visibility conditions if
they are.
Users who have the moodle/course:viewhiddengroups capability should be
concious of exposing hidden groups when showing their screen to other
users. The "Switch role to..." feature can be used to show a course page
on screen without exposing private availability conditions, for example.
The changes cover several specific areas:
* grouplib functions, which most code should use to get lists of groups
and members (this includes the participants page).
* Activities supporting group overrides will not allow overrides for
groups that are hidden from all users.
* Activities supporting separate/visible groups modes will only allow
groups with the new "participation" flag enabled to be selected.
* Group messaging will be disabled for groups where members cannot see
each other, or cannot see the group at all.
Apart from applying the points described in readme_moodle.txt, the following
changes have been done too:
- The parameter $folderName from the method libraryToString() have been removed
and a new method, libraryToFolderName() has been added to the H5PCore API.
References to libraryToString() with the $folderName set to true have been
replaced to the new method.
- missing-main-library has been added and replaces in some cases to
missing-required-library.
- The framework saveLibraryData method must be called before saveLibrary
(h5p.classes.php file has been patched to leave the original order because
libraryid is required to save the itemid).
- The getLibraryId() method from H5PCore has been rewritten to use MUC, in
order to avoid PHPUnit failures.
* Add a $deprecatedcapabilities variable to deal with deprecated
capabilities

Create or update the breadcrumbs in the site administration
pages where it is required.
Highlight the corresponding site adminstration tab.
Highlight the primary nav to Site administration when user
is navigating to any of the site administration pages.
Also changed the boostnavbar so that the nodes in the secondary
navigation are not shown in the breadcrumbs when user is in site
administration page.
The following lang strings have been undepecated, as they are still
in use:
* errorcoursewronglypublished, core_hub
* eventrolecapabilitiesupdated, core_role
Create the base audience class, to be extended by all audience types
across the site. Implement types allowing audiences to be created per
user, cohort or system role assignment.
The helper class is used for interrogating report audience instances
and retrieving access lists of those users able to view specific
reports.

This feature adds an admin tool for creating custom licenses.
Now custom licenses can be added and amended in Moodle, and the site
default can be set to a custom license.
Core licenses remain hard-coded and are uneditable, so they will always
require update within Moodle core updates, and maintain their
internationalisation through core language strings.
This also includes fundamental changes to the license API including
the addition of license caching and deprecation of no longer required
admin settings for license management.
In the get_grade_letters there is a static variable that is used
to cache grade letters, we should use MUC for this so that it is
reset properly between unit tests.
The following methods have been implemented for supporting
content-type translations:
- H5PEditorAjaxInterface.getTranslations. This method is used for
loading the "Text overrides and translations" section.
- H5peditorStorage.getLanguage. This method is used for displaying
the specific fields and messages for each content-type library.
- H5peditorStorage.getAvailableLanguages. This method is used to
get the language list displayed into the "Text overrides and
translations" section.
Significant string changes:
* pluginnamesummary,qtype_ddimageortext and
pluginnamesummary,qtype_ddmarker - Note about the question type not
being accessible to visually impaired users
* addresourceoractivity,core - Removing 'resource' as the new activity
chooser doesn't have resource types separated
- The get_conversation_messages has been added to the API and the WS
with the conversation identifier (convid) instead of the userto,
to let get conversation messages and the members involved.
- The cache has been also reviewed, to use the convid instead of the
[userfrom, userto] keys.
- The get_most_recent_conversation_messages has been added to the API
to update the cache when needed.
The function groups_get_user_groups is called too often both before rendering the page and after the page is rendered (using ajax).
The function was executing a query joining 3 tables in each call. The plementation of the function has now modified to store the
query result in a request cache.
- Split model::predict in parts
- JS promises updated according to eslint-plugin-promise
- New API methods replacing direct DB queries
- Reduce insights nav link display cost
- Increase time limit as well as memory for big processes
- Move prediction action event to core
- Dataset write locking and others
- Refine last time range end time
- Removed dodgy splitting method id to int
- Replace admin_setting_predictor output_html overwrite for write_setting overwrite
- New APIs for access control
- Discard invalid samples also during prediction
This change removes the complex and partial loading of role definition data for users.
It is replaced by keeping one system-wide definition for each role in MUC.
This is cheaper to regenerate as it avoids complex database queries (repeated LEFT JOIN to context).
Memory usage is kept low thanks to array CoW for each user access data.
