The visibility of coursemodules is now always set through the function set_coursemodule_visible() in order to make sure that the associated events get updated in the calendar appropriately.
If moving a coursemodule to a hidden section then the module is set to hidden as well and its events are hidden in the calendar.
If deleting a coursemodule its events are deleted from the calendar.
The function choose_from_menu() has an extra optional argument $disabled which, when set to true, will disable the menu.
For the sake of consistency the function set_groupmode_for_module has been renamed to set_coursemodule_groupmode and the functions show_course_module() and hide_course_module() have been combined to set_coursemodule_visible().
Added $user->theme and $course->theme choices, controlled by admin
variables on the main config variables page.
By default this is all turned off, since multiple themes can be
a little disorienting.
A hidden feature is session themes ... you can change the theme
on any page by passing theme=xxxx as a parameter. By default this
requires sesskey (so that people don't change theme on each other),
but this security can be switched off using a hidden variable
$CFG->allowthemechangeonurl = true; Good for quick tests.
Admin can put a site on hold during an upgrade or theme changing etc
Controlled by a file in dataroot, so it can also be controlled via command line:
touch moodledata/1/maintenance.html
rm moodledata/1/maintenance.html
How it works:
_ within the "sideblockheading" a DIV with class="hide-show" holds a link calling the JS containerDisplaySwitching(). To the user it's represented by the icon "switch.gif" (a plus in a square) at the right end side of the header.
_ all content of the sideblock is surounded by a new <div class="blockcontent" id="'.$attributes['id']."_cont\">"
_ a call of the JS containerDisplaySwitching() changes the state of the appropriate DIV with the content to "display:none/inline" and writes this state into a cookie.
_ at the end of every block I added a call to the JS "containerDisplaySet()". This reads the block's state and hides the content or leaves it visible with every page load.
_ in the stylesheet I added the positioning of the icon:
.sideblockheading .hide-show {
float:right;
}
.sideblockheading a img.hide-show-image {
padding-top:0.25em;
}

Brand-new pagelib.php at your disposal! It slices, it dices, it makes your coffee.
It still doesn't understand women... Read the comments in pagelib.php for a first
impression. Feedback highly encouraged!
Blocks code has undergone significant changes to work with Pages. Flexibility is its
middle name, since I think (without having tried it) that adding e.g. a third
placeholder for "center" blocks in courses, with full support for moving around etc,
will now take about 15 lines of new or edited code. If you are not impressed yet, I
suggest watching a documentary on solar physics. :P
MINOR CHANGES:
--------------
Added instance_allow_config() in the blocks class hierarchy to supplement per-instance
configuration options. You can override it to return true and thus get configuration
amenities without allowing multiple instances.
Minor polishing to comments and documentation (whatever caught my eye was game).
Tightened up some code here and there by utilizing all the new features.
BUGFIXES:
---------
A bug in restore_execute.html caused hidden blocks to not be restored at all.
