I have opted not to go through any deprecation process for this as there
is not really much we can do about it anyway. There is no loss of
functionality - just a change of where things are served from.
The Yahoo! CDN was only used for http connections as it did not
officially support SSL, and it is not guaranteed to continue existing in
the future since YUI has been deprecated for a number of years now.
Including in this commit:
- Prevent the tour to be displayed if the CSS is disabled by the browser
- Removed redundant tabindex=0 attribute on the target
- Created extra code to re-calculate the suitable position of the tour
- Fixed tour issue in 200% and 400% zoom
- Fixed tour highlight is not correct in 200% and 400%
The highlight and unhighlight sections applies only to the format_topics
plugins. With this commit all the related code is migrated to reactive
component and format_topics extend the current course editor to add all
the logic
Add 'versionfromdb' to opt-in for VERSION() query.
mariadb_native_moodle_database::get_server_info() has been removed
to avoid the specific override: everything is now managed in the base
method which takes care of both MySQL and MariaDB versioning details.
New protected methods have been added too to improve the testing strategy,
allowing to mock the results from an actual DB connection.
The new testing strategy enables simulating even the Azure scenarios.
When the param string contains a left curly bracket as the first character,
the system will assume the string is a JSON string and will be parsed and returned as an object.
But in some cases, the string is not JSON and will return an error if the system parses it.
For example, a user might have used the course name with a left curly bracket as the first character.
Adding a double quote after the left curly bracket to differentiate between string and JSON string,
so it can be safe to parse the string, and also added try..catch to ensure that the parsing creates an object type.
The new library version should work without problems with older
php-mongodb extension versions:
- v1.15.0 (paired version, tested).
- v1.14.1 (tested)
But, in order to keep them paired, the requirements have been
raised to the extension v1.15.0. See:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/php/#compatibility
This updates the library from v1.13.1. Fixes some php81 warnings
leading to failed/risky tests.

During install/upgrade, caching is disabled. This change provides a
way to temporarily enable caching (using in-memory cache storage only)
within a specific function; caches are deleted afterwards.
Adding this to two locations improves install performance quite a lot.
Caching is not enabled during the parts of plugin installation that
can vary for individual plugins (install.php/upgrade.php) as these
might be relying on its absence, for example by making direct database
changes.
Adding new capabilities can be slow if they have permissions cloned
from an existing capability, and if there are many places in the
database where the existing capability was overridden.
This change optimises the clone-capability performance, approximately
halving the number of queries required.
Adding multiple capabilities was very slow because it clears and
rebuilds the capability cache after each one. This change makes it
clear the cache once after adding all capabilities, before adding
permissions to the archetype roles.
