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
List of changes:
* New OOP API using PHP namespace \core\session\.
* All handlers now update the sessions table consistently.
* Experimental DB session support in Oracle.
* Full support for session file handler (filesystem locking required).
* New option for alternative session directory.
* Official memcached session handler support.
* Workaround for memcached version with non-functional gc.
* Improved security - forced session id regeneration.
* Improved compatibility with recent PHP releases.
* Fixed borked CSS during install in debug mode.
* Switched to file based sessions in new installs.
* DB session setting disappears if DB does not support sessions.
* DB session setting disappears if session handler specified in config.php.
* Fast purging of sessions used in request only.
* No legacy distinction - file, database and memcached support the same functionality.
* Session handler name included in performance info.
* Fixed user_loggedin and user_loggedout event triggering.
* Other minor bugfixing and improvements.
* Fixed database session segfault if MUC disposed before $DB.
Limitations:
* Session access time is now updated right after session start.
* Support for $CFG->sessionlockloggedinonly was removed.
* First request does not update userid in sessions table.
* The timeouts may break badly if server hosting forces PHP.ini session settings.
* The session GC is a lot slower, we do not rely on external session timeouts.
* There cannot be any hooks triggered at the session write time.
* File and memcached handlers do not support session lock acquire timeouts.
* Some low level PHP session functions can not be used directly in Moodle code.
The following changes have been made:
* course_section_cm_edit_actions now allows the caller more options for the
display of the action menu.
* The site menu block now disables the JS enhancement of the actionmenu so
that it displays as it did before. After more testing this seemed like the
only option that worked in the limited space of the block when it had
several modules.
* draganddrop of resources now triggers the action menu enhancement as well.
* Fixed display of title when the menu is not being enhanced by JS.
* Fixed the alignment of the completion icon in the bootstrapbase theme.
* Tweaked the CSS for the standard theme.
* Fixed IE8 display of icons.
* Fixed blocks using course renderer.
* Fixed behat tests.
* codecheckers fixes
* Removed alt from icons with descriptive text
* Tweaked actionmenu initialisation for performance
- Escaping steps arguments redirected to other steps
- Adding normalized-space() in all contains() assertions
- General xpaths review
- Convering provided xpath text strings to xpath literals
to avoid problems with arguments containing both single
quotes and double quotes
The patch converts the dock into a YUI shifter module and at
the same time improves several aspects of its operation.
The features of this patch include:
* Dock Module conversion.
* A loader that ensures we don't include the dock JS or its
requirements unless actually required.
* We no longer include the dock JS for themes that don't
enable it.
* Blocks no longer add registration events to the page
instead a dockable attribute is added to the html and the
loader looks for that.
* The dock module is properly documented and running YUIDoc
gives good quality documentation.
* We no longer need the dock module registration or
subcomponent.
* All events that can be delegated are now delegated.
* Removed unused variables and code left over after fixes.
* Support for docking blocks renderered using the new blocks
render method. Better support for custom block regions.
This introduces some behat tests to verify that
the display of enrolled courses in the navigation
block works as expected, both when a plain list
or a nested list is configured.
Personally I'm not happy with the way to select
expected text via css element. I'd love to see
something in an higher level like
I should see the text|link "xxxxx" in the "yyyy" "element"
with element being "block, header, footer, main...."
But that's another issue.
