This is a partial backport of MDL-73270 to ensure that the
check_xmlrpc_usage custom check is present in all the supported
branches and it's applied to all branches able to run php80:
- MOODLE_311_STABLE
- MOODLE_400_STABLE
- master (aka, 4.1 and up)
Note that the whole patch has not been backported, only the
environmental check (xml file and check implementation).
Basically, we only need to change:
- PHP 7.4
- PostgreSQL 12
Also, moving up to focal as dev environment, removing NVM_VERSION
because nvm automatically detects .nvmrc and switching to
socketed connection for PostgreSQL (little improvements).
Moved written table timestamping from query_start() to query_end():
We are adjusting table last written times at the end of transaction.
That does not apply to immediate database writes that are not performed
within transaction. This change is to set last written time after the query
has finished for such writes, rather than before it started. That way
long write operations cannot spill over the latency parameter.
This code was used only by deleted upgrade steps so it's safe
to proceed with straight deletion, considering it internal.
Deletion has been documented in corresponding upgrade.txt files:
- \mod_forum\task\refresh_forum_post_counts adhoc task
And these is the list of code that has NOT been removed
because it may be needed in the future:
- \core_search\manager::clean_up_non_existing_area(), used by
- adhoc task: \core\task\clean_up_deleted_search_area_task adhoc task
This code was used only by deleted upgrade steps so it's safe
to proceed with straight deletion, considering it internal.
Deletion has been documented in corresponding upgrade.txt files:
- upgrade_analytics_fix_contextids_defaults()
- upgrade_convert_hub_config_site_param_names()
- upgrade_rename_prediction_actions_useful_incorrectly_flagged()
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 3.9.0. Some
small adjustments, like tweaking globals can also be applied
when needed.
Also includes an upgrade step to prevent upgrading from any
version < 2020061500 (v3.9.0) as anti-cheating measure.
The next commits will proceed to deprecate / remove functions
that were exclusively (usually belonging to upgradelib) being
used by those, now removed, upgrade steps. This is the list
of code to remove and document in upgrade.txt files:
- upgrade_analytics_fix_contextids_defaults()
- upgrade_convert_hub_config_site_param_names()
- upgrade_rename_prediction_actions_useful_incorrectly_flagged()
- \mod_forum\task\refresh_forum_post_counts adhoc task.
And these is the code that has NOT been removed
because it may be needed later (no matter there aren't uses now):
- \core_search\manager::clean_up_non_existing_area(), used by
- \core\task\clean_up_deleted_search_area_task adhoc task
Now that the required PHP version has been raised to php74, set
it in the composer.json file and regenerate everything, following
the instructions @ https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Composer, also
with php74.
That's the only change (raised php version) as far as no change
has been performed to extension.
