The following commit fixes the current logic that is used to return the
selected option and take into account structures with group options.
Also, it adds a default value to the $labelattributes class property to
to fix the issues that occur then the label is not explicitely set by
set_label().
The Redis cache store and session handler both do a 'ping()' after
connecting to Redis. This is unnecessary because the connect() call
has just checked the network connection and it's hardly likely that
the server has gone down since then.
According to my profiling, both connect() and ping() take
measurable time when talking to a separate server, i.e. a few
milliseconds. So it's not the case that connect() doesn't really
talk to the server, as I initially wondered.
If using Redis on a separate (non-localhost) server for both session
and cache store, removing these ping calls can save a millisecond
or two per request.
The enabled state of a plugin is a tri-state value (boolean or
null). We should be consistent with elsewhere by only considering
boolean false as an actually disabled plugin.

For a long time, Moodle has had the feature to force the language
for a whole course. This change adds the same feature at activity
level.
The course-level feature was controlled by a capability
moodle/course:setforcedlanguage, and I decided to use the same
capability to control this feature. I think a new capability would be
overkill.
Fixes the site home secondary nav, so that nodes added by plugins
implementing the PLUGIN_extend_navigation_frontpage callback can be
displayed for users who don't have the 'course:update' capability.
This change comprises:
- Removed course:update capability checks from site home (index.php)
and from the secondary nav view. This isn't needed since the nav is
capability aware.
- Fixed the initialisation of the secondary nav for the frontpage
course, removing erroneous duplicate 'home' nodes. The nav is now only
shown if there are nodes to display.
Allow adhoc tasks to implement this method, so they too can have
descriptive names for themselves. Default implementation added to
return the class name itself.
This patch modifies the way copy data is shared in order to mitigate potential race conditions
and ensure that the serialised controller stored in the DB is always in a valid state.
The restore controller is now considered the "source of truth" for all information about the
copy operation. Backup controllers can no longer contain information about course copies.
As copy creation is not atomic, it is still possible for copy controllers to become orphaned or
exist in an invalid state. To mitigate this the backup cleanup task has been modified to call
a new helper method copy_helper::cleanup_orphaned_copy_controllers.
Summary of changes in this patch:
- Copy data must now be passed through the restore controller's constructor
- base_controller::get_copy has been deprecated in favour of restore_controller::get_copy
- base_controller::set_copy has been deprecated without replacement
- core_backup\copy\copy has been deprecated, use copy_helper.class.php's copy_helper instead
- backup_cleanup_task will now clean up orphaned controllers from copy operations that went awry
Thanks to Peter Burnett for assiting with testing this patch.
- Updates to log stores and backup helper to improve performance when
checking if a course has been modified.
- This is a breaking change as it adds a new function on the sql_reader
interface.
