Now Moodle will have a 'shutdown_function' function. Right now
registered (and useful) only when running under apache + mod_php.
This initial function checks whether memory usage in this process exceeded
10MiB or $CFG->apachemaxmem (int, in bytes). This is really useful to prevent
using more RAM than we have.
new function course_setup() thats does proper $CFG-> , locale and themes setup much sooner than print_header() originally (needed for MDL-8067), cleanup of forgotten global $course issues
MDL-8067 Fixed several $HTTPSREQUIRED issues - html editor now loads from https (the old hack did not wotk with IE7, new hack is uglier but works), fixed formlibs images (we can not set them in library global scope, we must wait for httpsrequired() and require_login() and od that in function), fixed links in meta.php, fixed help images
fixed setting of new $USER values in user edit forms
record cache and caching schemes get a little cleanup, faster
if()s and a nice set of config options. Users who've been using
the internal cache get a nice upgrade too.
$MCACHE is initially based on core API that is shared between memcached and
turckmmcache/eaccelerator. The core operations are add(), set() and delete()
This initial implementation uses the PECL-based PHP client. Would be trivial
to add support for a PHP-based client.
The $MCACHE facility can be used for DB cache, text filters cache, and possibly
for sessions.
On 64-bit platforms the in-memory footprint of our libraries is quite a bit
larger than usual, and we hit the 8MB default memory limit before we call
raise_memory_limit(). This patch moves raise_memory_limit() and
get_realsize() to setuplib so we can call them earlier, and moves the
call to _before_ we include the libraries.
On AMD64, for MOODLE_17_STABLE the footprint is about 9.5MB. Diet time? :-)
some cleanups around the place.
Many of the functions in deprecatedlib.php have been rewritten to work with
the new roles and capabilities so that they can still work as well as possible.
- ddllib.php: Where all the DDL (install/upgrade) functions will be.
- dmllib.php: Where all the DML (select...) functions will be.
- datalib.php: Legacy lib. Its contents should go to other libraries soon.

Now the lang menu is working again.
Note: I've used the PARAM_SAFEDIR flag because it's the
only one supporting alpha+digits+underscore. Its name
doesn't seem to be perfect for this. Perhaps we should
create some alias?
DB to detect such value dinamically. Useful for installations
not using the standard installer but manually edited config.php
files.
Little TODO: modify a bit the initial config tables insets to
insert this value, avoiding to call it for each request. Coming
soon (although not mandatory for 1.6beta). Tested against both
MySQL and PostgreSQL with unicode and non-unicode DBs.
$CFG->os (= PHP_OS) to handle it centrally. Also, although not critical,
it should be recommended to replace all the current uses of PHP_OS to the
new variables. See bug 4968.
