Refactoring and improvements of the accesslib.php library including prevention of access for not-logged-in users when forcelogin enabled, improved context caching, OOP refactoring of contexts, fixed context loading, deduplication of role definitions in user sessions, installation improvements, decoupling of enrolment checking from capability loading, added detection of deleted and non-existent users in has_capability(), new function accesslib test, auth and enrol upgrade notes.
More details are available in tracker subtasks.
New PARAM_COMPONENT, PARAM_AREA and PARAM_PLUGIN + fixing of hopefully all current incorrect parameter types. This should help with diagnosing of incorrectly named 3rd party plugins too.
This function populates default message preferences for all existing providers
when the new message processor is added.
The change also includes update of message_set_default_message_preference to
make possible using it for particular message processor update.
install_populate_default_messaging_prefs() is no longer needed and depricted.

This patch reimplements the internal cache that was used to store the
list of available translations in Moodle 1.x. By default, the method
get_list_of_translations() still uses the file
moodledata/cache/languages to store the list of available translations.
The location of that file can be redefined in config.php. The internal
format of the cache file is JSON now (used to be a plain text list).
The patch also fixes a usage of the global $CFG in translation_exists()
methods where the internal property should be used instead.
The column description in mnet_service table is set to not null and no
value is set for the insert_record(). We must explicitly provide the
empty string if the description is not defined in db/mnet.php file.
- The way that mnet rpc functions are registered. Plugins must now
create db/mnet.php which is an array, similar to services.php. This
*replaces* the old mnet_publishes() functions. version.php must be
bumped to trigger this.
- More information about each rpc-available function is stored in the
database, including the class it belongs to, the file it is found in,
and whether or not it is static. Methods that are not static must be
in a class with a constructor that takes no arguments (this can easily
be achieved with a small wrapper if necessary)
- The xmlrpc dispatcher has been rewritten to remove all the
dependencies on hardcoded information about auth,mnet,portfolio and
repository, and just use the information in the database.
- The old hardcoded hidden mnet/testclient.php has been moved to the
Admin menu under "Development" and rewritten.
- The xmlrpc introspection method profiling is now using php and zend
reflection - which is a lot nicer than the old way, which was using a
php-based php parser. This fixes some inconsistent handling of
methods without arguments that were advertising their return value as
the only method parameter. While this is a *fix*, it breaks BC
slightly - the old 1.9 broken mnet/testclient.php will now not work
properly with 2.0
- Dangerous mode is still supported, but old mod/*/rpclib.php is
now unsupported, due to the fact that any plugin can export mnet
functions with db/mnet.php. This is a slight BC break.
Still TODO:
- TEST TEST TEST
- Document the two small BC breaks in release notes
- Document the contract for db/mnet.php
