Moodle announced that support for IE would be dropped back in August
2020 with Moodle 3.9 but not active steps were taken at that time. That
decision was made in MDLSITE-6109 and this particular step was meant to
be taken in Moodle 3.10.
This is the first step taken to actively drop support for IE.
This commit also bumps the browser support pattern from 0.25% to 0.3%.
The percentage here includes any browser where at least this percentage
of users worldwide may be using a browser. In this case it causes
support for Android 4.3-4.4 to be dropped, which relate to Android
KitKat (released 2013).
This combination of changes means that all of the supported browsers in
our compatibility list support modern features including async,
for...of, classes, native Promises, and more which has a huge impact on
the ease of debugging code, and drastically reduces the minified file
size because a number of native Polyfills included by Babel are no
longer included.
Unfortunately the babel minify-mangle plugin seems to be abandoned and
in certain circumstances can be very buggy. The only safe options are to
disable it, or to switch to a different minification library.
Not minifying our javascript is not ideal, so this commit updates the
javascript tasks to use a rollup, combined with babel, and terser.
Babel still converts code from ES/UMD/AMD to AMD modules with the
relevant browser support, whilst terser minifies the code.
The rollup bundler handles tracking and creation of sourcemaps, and
supports better parallelisation of the tasks.
Since the upgrade to Node LTS/Gallium requires an upgrade to @babel/core
and eslint, which change the built files anyway, this seems like the
ideal time to make this change.
- Allow the tool to generate secure, one time, dynamic registration
URLs for use in supporting platforms.
- Registration endpoint, which validates the one time URL, makes
the registration requqest to the platform and adds the approriate
tool registration changes in the tool on success.
- Admin settings pages make use of the 'copy to clipboard' module
which is now in core.
This change adds a new grade sync task for LTI Advantage and updates
the legacy task such that it only operates on legacy tools. This uses
the assignment and grades service 2.0.
This change adds a new member sync task for LTI Advantage and updates
the legacy task such that it only operates on legacy tools. This uses
the names and roles provisioning service 2.0.
This change includes:
- LTI Advantage specific code in delete_instance().
- LTI version field added to publish as lti tool form.
- LTI Advantage specific uuid added to add_instance().
- Moved secret validation (LTI1.1/2.0) to server side, allowing
the element to be hidden in LTI Advantage cases.
Note that, instead of going one by one to them from the XMLDB Editor
(load, makes some tiny change, save, revert the change, save), the
report includes a commented line that, once uncommented, does regenerate
the file while reporting.
I've left it there as a commodity for the developer.
All restore_date_test, api_test, rule_test, plugin_test,
manager_test, helper_test testcase classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Remove file phpdoc block
- Remove MOODLE_INTERNAL if not needed.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to:
- All restore_date_test cases have been put under xxx\backup
level 2 (valid API) namespace.
All externallib_test, generator_test and filter_test classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to tests under testing/tests:
1) The core_testing component doesn't exist.
2) But testing/tests are allowed because there is a suite pointing to it (phpunit.xml).
3) So, the only possible namespace for them is "core".
4) And to avoid problems with other core testcases (under lib/tests)
they have been renamed to have testing_xxxx as prefix.
Finally, also modified calendar/tests/events/events_test.php because it uses
some renamed (core_calendar_externallib_testcase => \core_calendar\externallib_test)
classes.
This commit removes code that only was being executed by php < 73
and it's 100% safe to do so because Moodle 3.11 and up require
php 73, hence it was not executed ever.
Removed code includes:
- ldap_control_paged_result and ldap_control_paged_result_response
(that were deprecated in php 73 and have been removed in php 80).
- conditional code in the session manager, where some hacks were
needed for php < 73. Note that this removes the private function
append_samesite_cookie_attribute() completely because it was
doinf nothing (first line was returning for php < 73).
- Also removed the old session.hash_function ini setting because
it was removed in php 71.
Kept code includes:
- The environmental check_igbinary322_version test has not been
removed because it doesn't hurt (always returns "ok" for php 73
sites) and doing it would involve to backport the environment.xml
file to 39 and 310. Instead, a note has been added to MDL-71747
in order to get rid of that check for 4.1 and up.
So we are putting them under a standard PHP_MAJOR_VERSION < 8 condition.
Also, added TODO comments to remember to delete that block of code when
php80 becomes the minimum required versions in the future (Moodle 4.3?).
When possible, an issue has been created upstream, else a comment in
readme_moodle files has been added.
Finally, when the keys being freed were class or object attributes, also
nullify them (but when the calls were part of destructor methods).
All events_test, external_test and search_test classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to lib/external/tests/external_test.php:
- external is not a valid component
- hence, its only valid namespace is "core"
- also, it's testing lib/external/externallib.php
- hence, the file (and class) have been renamed to external_externallib_test.php
(to avoid conflicts with other external_test that may exist in core)
They were deprecated in PHP 7.4 (warning) and have been removed in
PHP 8.0 (error). Plus they were returning false since ages ago (PHP
5.x).
Hence, adding conditional check to see if they are available (h5p
editor) or removing the unreachable code-block when they evaluated
to true.
Also, modified the corresponding moodle_readme files to document
the change.
All lib_test and locallib_test classes:
- Namespaced with component (and API whenever makes sense).
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed or add new uses.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to tests under login/tests:
1) The core_login component doesn't exist.
2) But login/tests are allowed because there is a suite pointing to it (phpunit.xml).
3) So, the only possible namespace for them is "core".
4) And to avoid problems with other core testcases (under lib/tests)
they have been renamed to have login_xxxx as prefix.
