core_courseformat (subsystem / plugintype) Upgrade notes

4.5+

Add core_courseformat\base::invalidate_all_session_caches to reset course editor cache for all users when course is changed. This method can be used as an alternative to core_courseformat\base::session_cache_reset for resetting the cache for the current user in case the change in the course should be reflected for all users.

For more information see MDL-83185

The constructor of \core_courseformat\output\local\state\cm has been updated to accept a new optional parameter, $istrackeduser. If istrackeduser is pre-computed for the course module's course, it can be provided here to avoid an additional function call.

Added new core_courseformat_create_module webservice to create new module (with quickcreate feature) instances in the course.
