No need to have a dedicated admin_setting_managewebservicetokens admin
setting subclass, and yet do not use almost any of its features. So the
patch merges the list and the forms handling into a single external
page.
Similarly, it feels like overkill to have a renderer method for a
simple confirmation widget - especially given that the URLs were
hard-coded in it. So that one was dropped.
I suppose the original reasoning was that the web services protocols are
pluggable and that plugins can provide external function. But those are
not good reasons to put the whole Web services section under plugins.
Web services are not a plugin type and they always felt very
counter-intuitive there.
From the server administrtaion perspective, web services are similar to
scheduled tasks and therefore, they should live in the same section.
pdftoppm (from poppler-utils package) is several orders of
magnitude quicker than ghostscript extracting PNG images
from PDF documents.
We add support for this tool and use it whenever set up,
or using gs as before if missing.
Revisited code with peer review comments. In particular:
1. Make default path for pdftoppm empty string.
2. Fix a typo on the method description for get_gs_command_for_image.
3. Added more information why is useful pdftoppm into string pathtopdftoppm_help.
4. Check that path for pdftoppm is executable to prevent errors. Otherwise, use gs.
If your server is behind multiple reverse proxies that append to the
X-Forwarded-For header then you will need to specify a comma separated
list of ip addresses or subnets of the reverse proxies to be ignored
in order to find the users correct IP address.
Allow both UI and automated backups to be created without
including files. Instead include only file references.
This is essentially implementing "SAMESITE" to backup files
instead of only for import and export functionality.
A new backup setting to include files (defaults to yes)
has been included.
The restore process will also look for and attempt to
restore files from the trashdir as part of restoring
backups. Additionally to support this process the
ammount of time files are kept in trashdir before they
are cleaned up via cron is also adjustable via admin
setting.
This commit groups all mail settings under Server node, splitting into
two categories: Outgoing mail configuration and Incoming mail configuration.
Also, it make maildomain setting available on the Email settings page.
This lets us convert between common office formats. E.g. docx -> pdf
html -> pdf, html -> ods.
This commit also updates assignment editpdf plugin to use this converter
on all compatible submission files.
The admin setting updateautodeploy no longer exists. The two existing
config.php flags $CFG->disableupdateautodeploy and
$CFG->disableonclickaddoninstall merged into a single one.

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).

* 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:

* 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.
- 'List of courses' is split into 'List of courses' (available) and 'Enrolled courses', CFG->disablemycourses is deprecated;
- CFG->frontpageloggedin by default shows list of available courses;
- There is separate item to display course search box
- CFG->maxcoursesincombo is deprecated
- CFG->maxcategorydepth changed default value to 2 since we have AJAX loading now
- FRONTPAGECOURSELIMIT is transformed to CFG->frontpagecourselimit

GD PHP extension is now required. Add-ons need to remove $CFG->gdversion tests. The worst case regression is that add-on will think GD is not available.
It seems to be better to check for required permission later, when the
button to install the update is actually being displayed. Credit goes to
Dan Poltawski for suggesting this.
If $CFG->disableupdateautodeploy is set in config.php, no automatic
deploy can happen. This is for sites that are managed by a provider but
their clients have admin access.
