Under parallel development, when something is worth being commented
in upgrade.txt notes, it will be applied to all the development branches
using the "earliest" one to be released. So, if something changes
in 3.10 (and also is applied to master), the upgrade.txt notes will
show 3.10 in both branches.
Of course, if something only goes to one dev branch (say master), then the
master version will be used in the notes (4.0 in this case).
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.
It was always a bit of a hack to use static methods on the
qbehaviour_whatever classes to return metadata about the behaviour. It
is better design to have real qbehaviour_whatever_type classes to report
that metadata, particularly now that we are planning to add more such.
For example, inheritance works better with real classes. See, for
example, the improvements in
question_engine::get_behaviour_unused_display_options().
This change has been implemented in a backwards-compatbile way. Old
behaviours will continue to work. There will just be some developer debug
output to prompt people to upgrade their code properly.
* Support for old non-standard cron for quiz reports dropped. (Standard
cron support was added in 2.2
* Cron support added for qbehaviour, qformat and quizacces plugins.
* qtypes were already supported in the standard way.
