Moodle Upgrade notes

This file contains important information for developers on changes to the Moodle codebase.

More detailed information on key changes can be found in the Developer update notes for your version of Moodle.

The format of this change log follows the advice given at Keep a CHANGELOG.

5.0dev

core

Added

The core/sortable_list Javascript module now emits native events, removing the jQuery dependency from calling code that wants to listen for the events. Backwards compatibility with existing code using jQuery is preserved

For more information see MDL-72293
\core\output\activity_header now uses the is_title_allowed() method when setting the title in the constructor.

This method has been improved to give priority to the 'notitle' option in the theme config for the current page layout, over the top-level option in the theme.

For example, the Boost theme sets $THEME->activityheaderconfig['notitle'] = true; by default, but in its secure pagelayout, it has 'notitle' = false. This prevents display of the title in all layouts except secure.

For more information see MDL-75610
A new core\ip_utils::normalize_internet_address() method is created to sanitize an IP address, a range of IP addresses, a domain name or a wildcard domain matching pattern.

Moodle previously allowed entries such as 192.168. or .moodle.org for certain variables (eg: $CFG->proxybypass). Since MDL-74289, these formats are no longer allowed. This method converts this informations into an authorized format. For example, 192.168. becomes 192.168.0.0/16 and .moodle.org becomes *.moodle.org.

Also a new core\ip_utils::normalize_internet_address_list() method is created. Based on core\ip_utils::normalize_internet_address(), this method normalizes a string containing a series of Internet addresses.

For more information see MDL-79121
The deprecated implementation in course/view.php, which uses the extern_server_course function to handle routing between internal and external courses, can be improved by utilizing the Hook API. This enhancement is essential for a project involving multiple universities, as the Hook API provides a more generalized and flexible approach to route users to external courses from within other plugins.

For more information see MDL-83473

Changed

The {user_preferences}.value database field is now TEXT instead of CHAR. This means that any queries with a condition on this field in a WHERE or JOIN statement will need updating to use $DB->sql_compare_text(). See the $newusers query in \core\task\send_new_users_password_task::execute for an example.

For more information see MDL-46739
The core_renderer::tag_list function now has a new parameter named displaylink. When displaylink is set to true, the tag name will be displayed as a clickable hyperlink. Otherwise, it will be rendered as plain text.

For more information see MDL-75075
All uses of the following PHPUnit methods have been removed as these methods are deprecated upstream without direct replacement:
- withConsecutive
- willReturnConsecutive
- onConsecutive
Any plugin using these methods must update their uses.

For more information see MDL-81308
The Moodle subplugins.json format has been updated to accept a new subplugintypes object.

This should have the same format as the current plugintypes format, except that the paths should be relative to the plugin root instead of the Moodle document root.

Both options can co-exist, but if both are present they must be kept in-sync.
```
{
    "subplugintypes": {
        "tiny": "plugins"
    },
    "plugintypes": {
        "tiny": "lib/editor/tiny/plugins"
    }
}
```
For more information see MDL-83705

Deprecated

The methods want_read_slave and perf_get_reads_slave in lib/dml/moodle_database.php have been deprecated in favour of renamed versions that substitute slave for replica.

For more information see MDL-71257
The trait moodle_read_slave_trait has been deprecated in favour of a functionally identical version called moodle_read_replica_trait. The renamed trait substitutes the terminology of slave with replica, and master with primary.

For more information see MDL-71257
question_make_default_categories()

No longer creates a default category in either CONTEXT_SYSTEM, CONTEXT_COURSE, or CONTEXT_COURSECAT. Superceded by question_get_default_category which can optionally create one if it does not exist.

For more information see MDL-71378
question_delete_course()

No replacement. Course contexts no longer hold question categories.

For more information see MDL-71378
question_delete_course_category()

For more information see MDL-82457

core_analytics

Removed

Remove chat and survey from core_analytics.

For more information see MDL-82457

core_backup

Removed

Remove all MODE_HUB related code.

For more information see MDL-66873

core_course

Deprecated

The course_format_ajax_support function is now deprecated. Use course_get_format($course)->supports_ajax() instead.

For more information see MDL-82351

core_courseformat

Added

A new core_courseformat\base::get_generic_section_name method is created to know how a specific format name the sections. This method is also used by plugins to know how to name the sections instead of using using a direct get_string on "sectionnamer" that may not exists.

For more information see MDL-82349
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

core_enrol

Changed

The after_user_enrolled hook now contains a roleid property to allow for listeners to determine which role was assigned during user enrolment (if any)

The base enrolment enrol_plugin::send_course_welcome_message_to_user method also now accepts a $roleid parameter in order to correctly populate the courserole placeholder

For more information see MDL-83432

core_form

Changed

The cohort form element now accepts new includes option, which is passed to the corresponding external service to determine which cohorts to return (self, parents, all)

For more information see MDL-83641

core_question

Changed

The definition of the abstract core_question\local\bank\condition class has changed to make it clearer which methods are required in child classes. The get_filter_class method is no longer declared as abstract, and will return null by default to use the base core/datafilter/filtertype class. If you have defined this method to return null in your own class, it will continue to work, but it is no longer necessary. build_query_from_filter and get_condition_key are now declared as abstract, since all filter condition classes must define these (as well as existing abstract methods) to function. Again, exsiting child classes will continue to work if they did before, as they already needed these methods.

For more information see MDL-83859

Deprecated

question_type::generate_test

No replacement, not used anywhere in core.

For more information see MDL-71378
Deprecated method mod_quiz\question\bank\qbank_helper::get_version_options in favour of core_question\local\bank\version_options::get_version_options so that the method is in core rather than a module, and can safely be used from anywhere as required.

For more information see MDL-77713

core_reportbuilder

Added

New get_deprecated_tables method in base entity, to be overridden when an entity no longer uses a table (due to column/filter re-factoring, etc) in order to avoid breaking third-party reports

For more information see MDL-78118
The base aggregation class has a new column_groupby method, to be implemented in aggregation types to determime whether report tables should group by the fields of the aggregated column

For more information see MDL-83361
There is a new date aggregation type, that can be applied in custom and system reports

For more information see MDL-83361
The core_reportbuilder_testcase class has been moved to new autoloaded core_reportbuilder\tests\core_reportbuilder_testcase location, affected tests no longer have to manually require /reportbuilder/tests/helpers.php

For more information see MDL-84000

Changed

The get_active_conditions method of the base report class has a new $checkavailable parameter to determine whether to check the returned conditions availability

For more information see MDL-82809
Report table instances no longer populate the countsql and countparams class properties. Instead calling code can access totalrows to obtain the same value, rather than manually counting via the prior properties

For more information see MDL-83718

Removed

The following deprecated report entity elements have been removed:
- comment:context
- comment:contexturl
- enrolment:method (plus enrolment formatter enrolment_name method)
- 'enrolment:role`
- file:context
- file:contexturl
- instance:context (tag)
- instance:contexturl (tag)
Use of the context table is also deprecated in the file and instance (tag) entities

For more information see MDL-78118
Final removal of support for get_default_table_aliases method. Entities must now implement get_default_tables, which is now abstract, to define the tables they use

For more information see MDL-80430

core_tag

Changed

The core_tag\taglist class now includes a new property called displaylink, which has a default value of true. When displaylink is set to true, the tag name will be displayed as a clickable hyperlink. If displaylink is set to false, the tag name will be rendered as plain text instead.

For more information see MDL-82457
Remove mod_chat from Moodle 5.0

For more information see MDL-82457

mod_assign

Fixed

The unit test for the privacy provider has been marked as final.

A number of core tests had been incorrectly configured to extend this test but should instead be extending \mod_assign\tests\provider_testcase.

Any community plugins extending the \mod_assign\privacy\provider_test test class should be updated to extend \mod_assign\tests\provider_testcase instead.

For more information see MDL-81520

mod_feedback

Added

Added new mod_feedback_questions_reorder external function

For more information see MDL-81745

Deprecated

For more information see MDL-75075
The \mod_quiz\attempt_walkthrough_from_csv_test unit test has been marked as final and should not be extended by other tests.

All shared functionality has been moved to a new autoloadable test-case: \mod_quiz\tests\attempt_walkthrough_testcase.

To support this testcase the existing $files instance property should be replaced with a new static method, ::get_test_files. Both the existing instance property and the new static method can co-exist.

For more information see MDL-81521

For more information see MDL-71378

theme_boost

Removed

Remove chat and survey styles. Important note: the styles have been moved to the plugins as CSS files (and not SCSS) so themes might now need to override the mod_chat and mod_survey styles specifically as css does not have any definition for primary, gray and other colors accessible in the original scss version.

For more information see MDL-82457
