Under parallel development, when something is worth being commented
in upgrade.txt notes, it will be applied to all the development branches
using the "earliest" one to be released. So, if something changes
in 3.10 (and also is applied to master), the upgrade.txt notes will
show 3.10 in both branches.
Of course, if something only goes to one dev branch (say master), then the
master version will be used in the notes (4.0 in this case).
version = 2021052500 release version
requires= 2021052500 same than version
Why 20210525? (25th May 2021) ?
Because master is going to be Moodle 4.0, to be released
on November 2021. And, until then, we are going to have
a couple of "intermediate" releases:
- Moodle 3.10 to be released 9th November 2020. (2020110900)
This version will be using versions from today to 2020110900
(once it's released the YYYYMMDD part stops advancing).
- Moodle 3.11 to be released 10th May 2021. (2021051000)
This version will be using versions from 3.10 release to 2021051000
(once it's released the YYYYMMDD part stops advancing).
That means that all versions from today to 2021051000 are going
to be used by those 2 "intermediate" releases (3.10 and 3.11).
And we cannot use them in master, because it's forbidden to have
any overlapping of versions between branches (or different upgrade
paths will fail).
So, get that 2021051000, let's add it a couple of weeks to cover
the on-sync period (or a 2 weeks delay max!) and, the first version
that master can "own" in exclusive (without any overlap) is, exactly,
25th May 2021, hence our 20210525.
Thanks to Luca Bösch and Matteo Scaramuccia that detected
these 2 minor, but ugly details in core version files:
1) Adding comments pointed to versions (3.x, 20190801...) is not
recommended, they easily come outdated.
2) Using plugin->release in core is no sense. Core plugins belong
to the core release.
This commit just gets rid of them. That's all.
Significant string changes:
* configcustommenuitems,core_admin - corrected example
* custommenuitems_desc,tool_mobile - fallback behaviour of custom menu
items in the app
Replace it for correct property_exists() when the element
being inspected is a property of object/class.
Amended and squased changes:
- keep mongo unmodified. The information is array, hence correct.
- fix a couple of messaging phpdocs that were incorrect.
Amended take#2:
- As far as mongo resturns BSONDocument that is ArrayObject, aka
implements ArrayAccess, we have decided to explicitly cast results
to array so existing array_key_exists() and other accesses will
continue working the same.
Due to some changes in Redis 5 php extension Moodle fails to connect via TCP when
no port is set. It's fixed upstream in phpredis repo (version 5.0.0, 5.0.1 and
5.0.2 affected so far), but with this patch we'll send the right port anyway.
\cache::make() may return a cache_disabled subclass but callers, specifically
user/lib.php:user_create_user(), invoke \cache::purge_current_user() which was
only implemented by the cache_session subclass. Added empty
\cache::purge_current_user() which subclasses can implement, i.e.
cache_session, or not, i.e. cache_disabled.
The connection to the MongoDB server is checked on the creation and
deletion of a cache store instance. If the connection fails during
creation, the instance is set as not ready. Before deleting a instance,
a new cachestore_mongodb object is created, and connection checked.
There is no reason to check again the connection in the instance_deleted() method.
The scope of this change is limited to modifying the MongoDB cache
plugin to use the new version of the driver that accepts PHP 7.x
versions. Following the instructions in the official MongoDB
documentation, https://docs.mongodb.com/php-library/current/, the
MongoDB PHP Library was included and used.
The new mongodb extension provides a limited API. The MongoDB PHP adds a
high level abstraction layer that provides methods for CRUD operations
and common commands. This version of MongoDB PHP Library requires
the PHP mongodb extension >= 1.5.
Unfortunately, we can't simply use session_id() to regenerate the
session id in unit tests. Starting from PHP 7.2, it would trigger
"session_id(): Cannot change session id when headers already sent",
refer to MDL-60978 and PHP bug #75628 for more details.
As a workaround, we use a static property allowing us to inject the
value that we then use as a session identifier. This is reasonably
enough to make sure that the identifier is used as a part of the key
prefix.
The current logic in the cache_session::check_tracked_user() is not
right. We must always set the current session id. A typical use case is
when the cache instance is instantiated for a not logged in user. We
can't let the sessionid property null in that case as it forms an
important part of the parsed key.
Similarly, even if we have the same user currently loaded, we must still
set the sessionid to make sure the data will be associated with the
current PHP session. Same user (including visitors or guest users) can
access the site from different browsers and each must end up with its
own key prefix.
Significant string changes:
* withselectedusers_help, core - removing mention of 'Add a common note'
as the option no longer exists
* considereddigitalminor and digitalminor_desc, core - more
child-friendly wording
* configmessagingallusers, core_admin - clearer explanation
* auth_dbtype, auth_db - fixed broken link
