Why 20210525? (25th May 2021) ?
Because master is going to be Moodle 4.0, to be released
on November 2021. And, until then, we are going to have
a couple of "intermediate" releases:
- Moodle 3.10 to be released 9th November 2020. (2020110900)
This version will be using versions from today to 2020110900
(once it's released the YYYYMMDD part stops advancing).
- Moodle 3.11 to be released 10th May 2021. (2021051000)
This version will be using versions from 3.10 release to 2021051000
(once it's released the YYYYMMDD part stops advancing).
That means that all versions from today to 2021051000 are going
to be used by those 2 "intermediate" releases (3.10 and 3.11).
And we cannot use them in master, because it's forbidden to have
any overlapping of versions between branches (or different upgrade
paths will fail).
So, get that 2021051000, let's add it a couple of weeks to cover
the on-sync period (or a 2 weeks delay max!) and, the first version
that master can "own" in exclusive (without any overlap) is, exactly,
25th May 2021, hence our 20210525.
Previously, the Check button was often shown disabled when it
could not be used (e.g. when the question was finished, or when an
interactive question was in the try-again state). Eventually we
realised it was better usability to hide it in these cases.
Note that when a teacher reviews an in-progress quiz attempt, they will
see a disabled Check button if the student doing the quiz can see the
button.
question/type/calculatedmulti/questiontype.php:
- Add public make_answer method so that apply_attempt_state
method in qtype_multichoice_base does not cause a fatal
error when attempting to call make_answer.
version = planned 2015051100 release version
requires= current 2015050500 rc1 version
Note: On purpose, the course format social wrong version (2015102100)
has been kept unmodified. Looking forward a solution right now.
In order to do this in a sane way, I cleaned up a lot of old mess,
inclduing:
1. Previously, qtype_calcuated used ->answeres when importing, and
->answer when saving the form. This was crazy, so I fixed it, and
stripped out the code that made the alternative variable name work.
2. Similarly, it could handle ->answer being either an array, such as
you would get form the HTML editor, or a simple string, which is what
you get form the form. I simplified that too.
3. Finally, I made import use a transaction around saving each
question, so we don't get half questions in the database when an error
occurs.
The sequence of questions that made up a quiz used to be stored as a
comma-separated list in quiz.questions. Now the same information is
stored in the rows in the quiz_slots table. This is not just 'better' in
a database design sense, but it allows for the future changes we will
need as we enhance the quiz in the MDL-40987 epic.
Having changed the database structure, all the rest of the code needs to
be changed to account for it, and that is done here.
Note that there are not many unit tests for the changed bit. That is
because as part of MDL-40987 we will be changing the code further, and
we will add unit tests then.
This data should all have been upgraded when moving to Moodle 2.1. It
was only kept as a back-up, and now, after 3 years have past, we can
clean it up.
This parallels question_attempt->minfraction, which allows the
fractional mark to go below zere.
This is needed to allow the certainty-base marking behaviours to work
better.
