* FEATURE_USES_QUESTION_BANK is now a module_supports flag which declares
that an activity uses the question engine.
* question_module_uses_questions can be used to determine if a module
uses the question bank.
List of changes:
* New OOP API using PHP namespace \core\session\.
* All handlers now update the sessions table consistently.
* Experimental DB session support in Oracle.
* Full support for session file handler (filesystem locking required).
* New option for alternative session directory.
* Official memcached session handler support.
* Workaround for memcached version with non-functional gc.
* Improved security - forced session id regeneration.
* Improved compatibility with recent PHP releases.
* Fixed borked CSS during install in debug mode.
* Switched to file based sessions in new installs.
* DB session setting disappears if DB does not support sessions.
* DB session setting disappears if session handler specified in config.php.
* Fast purging of sessions used in request only.
* No legacy distinction - file, database and memcached support the same functionality.
* Session handler name included in performance info.
* Fixed user_loggedin and user_loggedout event triggering.
* Other minor bugfixing and improvements.
* Fixed database session segfault if MUC disposed before $DB.
Limitations:
* Session access time is now updated right after session start.
* Support for $CFG->sessionlockloggedinonly was removed.
* First request does not update userid in sessions table.
* The timeouts may break badly if server hosting forces PHP.ini session settings.
* The session GC is a lot slower, we do not rely on external session timeouts.
* There cannot be any hooks triggered at the session write time.
* File and memcached handlers do not support session lock acquire timeouts.
* Some low level PHP session functions can not be used directly in Moodle code.
to question bank
- move cron to clean up old cache records move code and
rename classes
- further review of the quiz reports statistics code
- starting to separate calculations of quiz stats, question stats and
response analysis
- introduce hashcode db field for cached stats convert
- code to use qubaids hashcode for caches
We just drop the old tables (including previous upgrade steps) and
re-create the new ones, because these tables just cache calculated
statistics. No important data is stored in them.
The "No more attempts are allowed" message was being shown twice. I
checked back, and it has been like that since before the quiz was
converted to use a renderer. Still, it looks horrible, so changing it.
This is a followup to MDL-18301. That fix missed the following points:
1. On the edit categories and items screens, all items had an eye-con to
control the visibility, even if the visibility was controlled by the
module.
2. Changing the visibility of a grade category change the visibility of
all items within it, even if the visibility was controlled by the
module.
3. The quiz ingored $cm->visible when controlling whether its grade item
was visible.
