dirname() is a slow function compared with __DIR__ and using
'/../'. Moodle has a large number of legacy files that are included
each time a page loads and is not able to use an autoloader as it is
functional code. This allows those required includes to perform as
best as possible in this situation.
version = planned 2015051100 release version
requires= current 2015050500 rc1 version
Note: On purpose, the course format social wrong version (2015102100)
has been kept unmodified. Looking forward a solution right now.
The availability restrictions that apply to user lists (group, grouping)
now apply in workshop:
* In user lists.
* When randomly allocating users (also now works as expected if you use
group mode and a grouping with the activity).
If all assessments for the given submission have zero weight, the grading
evaluation plugin "Comparison with the best assessment" is unable to decide on
the average assessment as it ignores those with zero weight. In such rare case,
it makes sense to set the grading grade to null and prevent the coding
exception.
In a pretty rare case of zero variance of received assessments, the "distance"
of the evaluated assessment from the referential ("best") one was not increased
regardless it's actual value. This led to higher grades for assessments in
certain situations (see the tracker for a particular example).
From now on, the evaluator's method get_settings_form() should return a
subclass of workshop_evaluation_settings_form. The evaluation subplugins
are expected to use the define_sub() method to add their own fields into
the base form, although they can override the main define() method, too.
The former interface workshop_evaluation has been refactored into a
superclass with abstract methods which seems to be more robust.
Oh, by the way, I'm in Perth - yay!

From now on, all English strings use the new syntax. They are not
eval()'ed any more and the only valid placeholders are {$a} and
{$a->foobar}. No extra quotes escaping, dollar sign escaping and putting
double percent signs.
The modified files were exported from AMOS database repository in the
new syntax and were re-ordered by stringid. Standard GNU/GPL and PHPdoc
blocks are added. Where there was no copyright note so far, I added the
default one with Martin Dougiamas as the copyright holder.
Live long and prosper.
