LTS (3.5) requires previous LTS (3.1)
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 3.1.0. Some
small adjustments, like adding missing MOODLE_INTERNAL or tweaking
globals can also be applied when needed.
Also includes an upgrade step to prevent upgrading from any
version < 2016052300 (v3.1.0) as anti-cheating measure.
Next commit will get rid of/deprecate all the upgradelib functions
not used anymore in codebase.
The new recordset support for Postgres requires transactions and
will cause errors if recordsets are not closed correctly. This
commit fixes problems that were identified during unit tests, and
via some basic code analysis, across all core code. Most of these
are incorrect usage of recordset (forgetting to close them).
We need to do the HTTPS check using a page that:
- Does not redirect (login/index.php may redirect because of auth
plugins)
- Does not return moodle exceptions (some custom exceptions handlers
may launch custom HTTP errors)
Significant string changes:
* multiple strings in core_hub - 'Publish' changed to 'Share' plus other
wording improvements to avoid misunderstandings
* errorretrievingkey in message_airnotifier - improved wording and
removing reference to Moodle.org
* enddate_help and courseduration_desc in core - clearer wording
explaining what the date actually does
* restore:viewautomatedfilearea in core_role - changing wording to match
the behaviour
* dropzones_help in qtype_ddmarker - improved wording
* autologinkeygenerationlockout in tool_mobile - updated error message
* configallowemailaddresses in core_admin - clearer description
* subscriptionmode_helpin mod_forum - removing misleading sentence about
subscription mode changes not affecting existing users
- don't call curl() from unittests
- make sure we don't replace links to http:// urls when the embedded contents from the same domain is present
- convert only text or long varchar columns
- improve searching performance, use case-insensitive regex/like instead of LOWER
- add unittests for the above and also for international domains
