This files describes API changes in /repository/ repository system, information provided here is intended especially for developers. Full details of the repository API are available on Moodle docs: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Repository_API === 2.5 === * repository::append_suffix() has been deprecated, use repository::get_unused_filename() if you need to get a file name which has not yet been used in the draft area. === 2.4 === * copy_to_area() can receive a new parameter called $areamaxbytes which controls the maximum size of the area the files will be stored in. * the repositories using the upload() method should implement a check for $areamaxbytes, see repository/upload/lib.php upload() and process_upload() for an example on how handling it. === 2.3 === * instance_config_form() must now be declared static for php5.4 compatibility. * get_listing() and search() file metadata details are now now more prominently displayed in the interface. Dates and timestamos are now able to be sorted on in the filepicker interface so plugin authors are asked to ensure: - Dates are defined as UNIX timestamps - Filesize is an integer in bytes * It is recomended to define function get_file_source_info() to provide more rich infromation about the source of a file. * The API was extended to allow repositories can now support external references, please see http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Repository_API for further details.
