that are older than a week before processing digests.
After upgrade it's possible that some posts will be lost this way but
on the other hand it ensures that sites with problems like moodle.org
had will start working again.
We still need a recordset added to the digestposts loop.

=======================================
WARNING: DEV IS CURRENTLY VERY UNSTABLE.
This is a mega-checkin of the new Roles system. A lot of changes have
been made in core and modules.
Currently there are a lot of rough edges and known problems. We are
working hard on these .. .the reason for getting this into HEAD at this
stage is enable us to move faster (our branch was diverging from HEAD
too much).
Please keep an eye on http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roles for current status
and information for developers on how to use the new Roles system.
block is constructed. A new function exists to pump these notes out
in a standard way : print_recent_activity_note.
Module dependencies also updated because of this.
(While I was at it I also turned the autologinguests off for most module pages, except on the index.php pages and the view.php pages for those modules that allow guests)
Many thanks to Mike Churchward for his work on this and persevering
with sending updated versions to me. :-)
Shane and I have polished it up, rewritten a few parts (display-related)
and here it is, finally in CVS!
I think there will still need to be some optimisation for the SQL,
since it's still pretty intensive. Perhaps some sort of caching in
the session that gets modified along with the database whenever
something gets read.
However if there are problems the whole thing can be switched off
in the forum module config so this is not crucially urgent.
Logs now include a field called modid which contains the coursemodule id.
This makes it now possible to
- see complete logs per-activity
- do backup/restore of logs
The upgrade process will currently try to scan all the old logs and
rebuild this field based on available data (especially forums).
STILL TO DO: alter all the non-forum modules to send the coursemodule id
There is now a new field in forum_discussions which has the userid
of the author in it. This saves a lookup every time to forum_posts.
There is also some caching and rearrangement of the logic.
It seems to work OK, I'm about to do some speed tests on moodle.org
