This files describes API changes in the assign code.
=== 2.6 ===
* To see submission/grades of inactive users, user should have moodle/course:viewsuspendedusers capability.
* count_* functions will return only active participants.
* assign_submission_plugin->lock and unlock methods have an additional parameter for user flags. A user will not
always have a submission record when the submission is locked/unlocked.
* Submission and feedback plugins can now participate in webservices. The plugin must implement get_external_parameters()
to describe the parameters it is expecting from the mod_assign_save_grade or mod_assign_save_submission functions. The
plugin will then handle the webservice via it's normal save() method with the extra data supplied in the $data argument.
=== 2.5 ===
* New feature - Attempt History
This adds settings so that a student can have build up a history of separate submission attempts and grades for the same

indicates this student has passed.
