This should resolve all problem on developer machines when switching branches or when restoring previous Moodle databases. It also prevents any potential problems during upgrades such as concurrent DB modification and resolves chicken egg problems in future caching upgrades.
If the user selects a plugin in Moodle plugins directory to be installed
into their site, Moodle plugins directory will redirect them into their
site's admin/index.php script, providing the installaddonrequest
parameter.
This patch makes sure that only if the user is logged-in as the admin
and the site is fully installed and up-to-date, the add-on installation
request will be dispatched to the tool_installaddon for actual
processing.
We need to store the installaddonrequest value in the $PAGE's URL so
that is is stored in $SESSION->wantsurl in case the user needs to log in
at their site. Thanks to this, the request is dispatched after the user
logs in.
The Notifications (admin/index.php) page has now information about
available updates for core and eventually plugins, too. Note that the
structure of the available updates array changed. This breaks backward
compatibility for eventual 3rd renderers out there (not expected
though).
This fixes WCAG 2.0 compliance because we were already using HTML5 markup.
The strict XML headers setting never worked for production servers, developers
used browser validators for compliance testing. XHTML 5 option is relatively
similar to this obsolete option, but still it can not be used on production servers.
XHTML Strict 1.x was a standardised dead end, HTML5 is the new de-facto-standard
supported by all major browsers including latest versions of IE.
Please note nothing changes in our coding style because HTML5 is a superset of
several previous standards, it is recommended to use only features that are
already implemented in all our supported browsers.
Previously, it was the renderer method that actually called
all_plugins_ok(). I believe that renderer methods should not be
responsible for such an important step in the install/upgrade code flow.
So dependencies are now checked by admin/index.php on upgrade, too.
This follows the same path as we have in CLI installers. Plugin
dependencies are checked right after the environment checks and the
install can't continue unless all dependencies are fixed.
We are displaying available updates for installed plugins only. It was
decided (by me and Eloy) that we will not display info about available
Moodle update during the upgrade. It seems to be redundant as the admin
just uploaded a new version of Moodle so they probably chose what they
wanted.
In case of Moodle code itself, there is no plugin_manager like class
available so the checker class itself must be aware of versions and
actually do the checks. On the other hand, we can always rely that
version, release and maturity are always returned by the remote server.
This function populates default message preferences for all existing providers
when the new message processor is added.
The change also includes update of message_set_default_message_preference to
make possible using it for particular message processor update.
install_populate_default_messaging_prefs() is no longer needed and depricted.

This makes the order of plugins returned by get_plugin_types not important as
all messaging defaults population is done at the end.

upgrade_core also attempts to populate the preferences, but since during the
first installation it is called before message outputs are set, we need to
force preferences setting at the end.
