NOBUG: Add upgrade notes

[moodle.git] / UPGRADING.md

# Moodle Upgrade notes

This file contains important information for developers on changes to the Moodle codebase.

More detailed information on key changes can be found in the [Developer update notes](https://moodledev.io/docs/devupdate) for your version of Moodle.

The format of this change log follows the advice given at [Keep a CHANGELOG](https://keepachangelog.com).

## 5.0dev

### core

#### Added

- The `core/sortable_list` Javascript module now emits native events, removing the jQuery dependency from calling code that wants to listen for the events. Backwards compatibility with existing code using jQuery is preserved

  For more information see [MDL-72293](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-72293)
- `\core\output\activity_header` now uses the `is_title_allowed()` method when setting the title in the constructor.

  This method has been improved to give priority to the 'notitle' option in the theme config for the current page layout, over the top-level option in the theme.

  For example, the Boost theme sets `$THEME->activityheaderconfig['notitle'] = true;` by default, but in its `secure` pagelayout, it has `'notitle' = false`.
  This prevents display of the title in all layouts except `secure`.

  For more information see [MDL-75610](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-75610)
- A new core\ip_utils::normalize_internet_address() method is created to sanitize an IP address, a range of IP addresses, a domain name or a wildcard domain matching pattern.

  Moodle previously allowed entries such as 192.168. or .moodle.org for certain variables (eg: $CFG->proxybypass). Since MDL-74289, these formats are no longer allowed. This method converts this informations into an authorized format. For example, 192.168. becomes 192.168.0.0/16 and .moodle.org becomes *.moodle.org.

  Also a new core\ip_utils::normalize_internet_address_list() method is created. Based on core\ip_utils::normalize_internet_address(), this method normalizes a string containing a series of Internet addresses.

  For more information see [MDL-79121](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-79121)
- The deprecated implementation in course/view.php, which uses the extern_server_course function to handle routing between internal and external courses, can be improved by utilizing the Hook API. This enhancement is essential for a project involving multiple universities, as the Hook API provides a more generalized and flexible approach to route users to external courses from within other plugins.

  For more information see [MDL-83473](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83473)

#### Changed

- The {user_preferences}.value database field is now TEXT instead of CHAR. This means that any queries with a condition on this field in a WHERE or JOIN statement will need updating to use `$DB->sql_compare_text()`. See the `$newusers` query in `\core\task\send_new_users_password_task::execute` for an example.

  For more information see [MDL-46739](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-46739)
- The `core_renderer::tag_list` function now has a new parameter named `displaylink`. When `displaylink` is set to `true`, the tag name will be displayed as a clickable hyperlink. Otherwise, it will be rendered as plain text.

  For more information see [MDL-75075](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-75075)
- All uses of the following PHPUnit methods have been removed as these methods are
  deprecated upstream without direct replacement:

  - `withConsecutive`
  - `willReturnConsecutive`
  - `onConsecutive`

  Any plugin using these methods must update their uses.

  For more information see [MDL-81308](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81308)
- The Moodle subplugins.json format has been updated to accept a new `subplugintypes` object.

  This should have the same format as the current `plugintypes` format, except that the paths should be relative to the _plugin_ root instead of the Moodle document root.

  Both options can co-exist, but if both are present they must be kept in-sync.

  ```json
  {
      "subplugintypes": {
          "tiny": "plugins"
      },
      "plugintypes": {
          "tiny": "lib/editor/tiny/plugins"
      }
  }
  ```

  For more information see [MDL-83705](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83705)
- The following test classes have been moved into autoloadable locations:

  | Old location | New classname |
  | --- | --- |
  | `\core\tests\route_testcase` | `\core\tests\router\route_testcase` |
  | `\core\router\mocking_route_loader` | `\core\tests\router\mocking_route_loader` |

  For more information see [MDL-83968](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83968)

#### Deprecated

- The methods `want_read_slave` and `perf_get_reads_slave` in `lib/dml/moodle_database.php` have been deprecated in favour of renamed versions that substitute `slave` for `replica`.

  For more information see [MDL-71257](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-71257)
- The trait `moodle_read_slave_trait` has been deprecated in favour of a functionally identical version called `moodle_read_replica_trait`. The renamed trait substitutes the terminology of `slave` with `replica`, and `master` with `primary`.

  For more information see [MDL-71257](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-71257)
- question_make_default_categories()

  No longer creates a default category in either CONTEXT_SYSTEM, CONTEXT_COURSE, or CONTEXT_COURSECAT.
  Superceded by question_get_default_category which can optionally create one if it does not exist.

  For more information see [MDL-71378](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-71378)
- question_delete_course()

  No replacement. Course contexts no longer hold question categories.

  For more information see [MDL-83527](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83527)

### core_courseformat

#### Added

- A new core_courseformat\base::get_generic_section_name method is created to know how a specific format name the sections. This method is also used by plugins to know how to name the sections instead of using using a direct get_string on "sectionnamer" that may not exists.

  For more information see [MDL-82349](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82349)
- Add core_courseformat\base::invalidate_all_session_caches to reset course editor cache for all users when course is changed.

  For more information see [MDL-83185](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83185)

#### Deprecated

- All course editing YUI modules are now deprecated. All course formats not using components must migrate before 6.0. Follow the devdocs guide https://moodledev.io/docs/5.0/apis/plugintypes/format/migration to know how to proceed.

  For more information see [MDL-82341](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82341)
- Using arrays to define course menu items is deprecated. All course formats that extend the section or activity control menus (format_NAME\output\courseformat\content\section\controlmenu or format_NAME\output\courseformat\cm\section\controlmenu) should return standard action_menu_link objects instead.

  For more information see [MDL-83527](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83527)

### core_enrol

#### Changed

- The `after_user_enrolled` hook now contains a `roleid` property to allow for listeners to determine which role was assigned during user enrolment (if any)

### core_question

#### Changed

- The definition of the abstract `core_question\local\bank\condition` class has changed to make it clearer which methods are required  in child classes.
  The `get_filter_class` method is no longer declared as abstract, and will return `null` by default to use the base  `core/datafilter/filtertype` class. If you have defined this method to return `null` in your own class, it will continue to work, but it is no longer necessary.
  `build_query_from_filter` and `get_condition_key` are now declared as abstract, since all filter condition classes must define these  (as well as existing abstract methods) to function. Again, exsiting child classes will continue to work if they did before, as they  already needed these methods.

  For more information see [MDL-83859](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83859)

#### Deprecated

- question_type::generate_test

  No replacement, not used anywhere in core.

  For more information see [MDL-71378](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-71378)
- Deprecated method `mod_quiz\question\bank\qbank_helper::get_version_options` in favour of `core_question\local\bank\version_options::get_version_options` so that the method is in core rather than a module, and can safely be used from anywhere as required.

  For more information see [MDL-77713](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-77713)
- Behat steps `behat_qbank_comment::i_should_see_on_the_column` and `behat_qbank_comment::i_click_on_the_row_containing` have been deprecated in favour of the new component named selectors, `qbank_comment > Comment count link` and `qbank_comment > Comment count text` which can be used with the standard `should exist` and `I click on` steps to replace the custom steps.

  For more information see [MDL-79122](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-79122)

### core_reportbuilder

#### Added

- New `get_deprecated_tables` method in base entity, to be overridden when an entity no longer uses a table (due to column/filter re-factoring, etc) in order to avoid breaking third-party reports

  For more information see [MDL-78118](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-78118)
- The base aggregation class has a new `column_groupby` method, to be implemented in aggregation types to determime whether report tables should group by the fields of the aggregated column

  For more information see [MDL-83361](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83361)
- There is a new `date` aggregation type, that can be applied in custom and system reports

  For more information see [MDL-84000](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-84000)

#### Changed

- The `get_active_conditions` method of the base report class has a new `$checkavailable` parameter to determine whether to check the returned conditions availability

  For more information see [MDL-82809](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82809)
- Report table instances no longer populate the `countsql` and `countparams` class properties. Instead calling code can access `totalrows` to obtain the same value, rather than manually counting via the prior properties

  For more information see [MDL-83718](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83718)

#### Removed

- The following deprecated report entity elements have been removed:

  - `comment:context`
  - `comment:contexturl`
  - `enrolment:method` (plus enrolment formatter `enrolment_name` method)
  - 'enrolment:role`
  - `file:context`
  - `file:contexturl`
  - `instance:context` (tag)
  - `instance:contexturl` (tag)

  Use of the `context` table is also deprecated in the `file` and `instance` (tag) entities

  For more information see [MDL-78118](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-78118)
- Final removal of support for `get_default_table_aliases` method. Entities must now implement `get_default_tables`, which is now abstract, to define the tables they use

### mod_assign

#### Fixed

- The unit test for the privacy provider has been marked as final.

  A number of core tests had been incorrectly configured to extend this test
  but should instead be extending `\mod_assign\tests\provider_testcase`.

  Any community plugins extending the `\mod_assign\privacy\provider_test` test
  class should be updated to extend `\mod_assign\tests\provider_testcase` instead.

  For more information see [MDL-81520](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81520)

### mod_feedback

#### Added

- Added new `mod_feedback_questions_reorder` external function

  For more information see [MDL-81745](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81745)

- The external function get_user_attempts now returns the total number of attempts.

  For more information see [MDL-82775](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82775)

### mod_quiz

#### Changed

- The `quiz_question_tostring` method now includes a new boolean parameter, `displaytaglink`. This parameter specifies whether the tag name in the question bank should be displayed as a clickable hyperlink (`true`) or as plain text (`false`).

  For more information see [MDL-75075](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-75075)
- The `\mod_quiz\attempt_walkthrough_from_csv_test` unit test has been marked as final and should not be extended by other tests.

  All shared functionality has been moved to a new autoloadable test-case:
  `\mod_quiz\tests\attempt_walkthrough_testcase`.

  To support this testcase the existing `$files` instance property should be replaced with a new static method, `::get_test_files`.
  Both the existing instance property and the new static method can co-exist.

  For more information see [MDL-81521](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81521)

### qbank_bulkmove

#### Deprecated

- qbank_bulkmove/helper::get_displaydata

  Superceded by a modal and webservice, see qbank_bulkmove/modal_question_bank_bulkmove and core_question_external\move_questions

  For more information see [MDL-71378](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-71378)
- qbank_bulkmove\output\renderer::render_bulk_move_form

  For more information see [MDL-71378](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-71378)

### theme_boost

#### Changed

- From now on, themes can customise the activity icon colours using simple CSS variables. The new variables are $activity-icon-administration-bg, $activity-icon-assessment-bg, $activity-icon-collaboration-bg, $activity-icon-communication-bg, $activity-icon-content-bg, $activity-icon-interactivecontent-bg. All previous `$activity-icon-*-filter` elements can be removed, as they are no longer in use.

  For more information see [MDL-83725](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83725)

#### Removed

- Remove chat and survey styles. Important note: the styles have been moved to the plugins as CSS files (and not SCSS) so themes might now need to override the mod_chat and mod_survey styles specifically as css does not have any definition for primary, gray and other colors accessible in the original scss version.

  For more information see [MDL-82457](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82457)

### tool_brickfield

  For more information see [MDL-82866](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82866)

### tool_mfa

#### Added

- The new factor management table uses `plugin_management_table`, so not only the functions that changed, but the file needs to be moved from `admin/tool/mfa/classes/local/admin_setting_managemfa.php` to `admin/tool/mfa/classes/table/admin_setting_managemfa.php`

  For more information see [MDL-83516](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83516)

  For more information see [MDL-64148](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-64148)
- The following classes have been renamed and now support autoloading.
  Existing classes are currently unaffected.

  | Old class name     | New class name     |
  | ---                | ---                |
  | `\core_component`  | `\core\component`  |

  For more information see [MDL-66903](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-66903)
- Added the ability for unit tests to autoload classes in the `\[component]\tests\`
  namespace from the `[path/to/component]/tests/classes` directory.

  For more information see [MDL-66903](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-66903)
- Added a helper to load fixtures from a components `tests/fixtures/` folder:

  ```php
  advanced_testcase::load_fixture(string $component, string $fixture): void;
  ```

  For more information see [MDL-66903](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-66903)
- Redis session cache has been improved to make a single call where two were used before.

  For more information see [MDL-69684](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-69684)
- Added stored progress bars

  For more information see [MDL-70854](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-70854)
- Two new functions have been introduced in the `\moodle_database` class:
  - `\moodle_database::get_counted_records_sql()`
  - `\moodle_database::get_counted_recordset_sql()`

  These methods are compatible with all databases.

  They will check the current running database engine and apply the `COUNT` window function if it is supported,
  otherwise, they will use the usual `COUNT` function.

  The `COUNT` window function optimization is applied to the following databases:
  - PostgreSQL
  - MariaDB
  - Oracle

  Note: MySQL and SQL Server do not use this optimization due to insignificant performance differences before and
  after the improvement.

  For more information see [MDL-78030](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-78030)
- The `after_config()` callback has been converted to a hook, `\core\hook\after_config`.

  For more information see [MDL-79011](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-79011)
- The `\core\output\select_menu` widget now supports rendering dividers between menu options. Empty elements (`null` or empty strings) within the array of options are considered and rendered as dividers in the dropdown menu.

  For more information see [MDL-80747](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80747)
- The `\core\output\select_menu` widget now supports a new feature: inline labels. You can render the label inside the combobox widget by passing `true` to the `$inlinelabel` parameter when calling the `->set_label()` method.

  For more information see [MDL-80747](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80747)
- A new hook called `\core\hook\output\after_http_headers` has been created. This hook allow plugins to modify the content after headers are sent.

  For more information see [MDL-80890](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80890)
- The following classes have been renamed.
  Existing classes are currently unaffected.

  | Old class name  | New class name  |
  | ---             | ---             |
  | `\core_user`    | `\core\user`    |

  For more information see [MDL-81031](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81031)
- New DML constant `SQL_INT_MAX` to define the size of a large integer with cross database platform support.

  For more information see [MDL-81282](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81282)
- Added a new `exception` L2 Namespace to APIs.

  For more information see [MDL-81903](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81903)
- Added a mechanism to support autoloading of legacy class files.
  This will help to reduce the number of `require_once` calls in the codebase, and move away from the use of monolithic libraries.

  For more information see [MDL-81919](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81919)
- The following exceptions are now also available in the `\core\exception` namespace:

    - `\coding_exception`
    - `\file_serving_exception`
    - `\invalid_dataroot_permissions`
    - `\invalid_parameter_exception`
    - `\invalid_response_exception`
    - `\invalid_state_exception`
    - `\moodle_exception`
    - `\require_login_exception`
    - `\require_login_session_timeout_exception`
    - `\required_capability_exception`
    - `\webservice_parameter_exception`

  For more information see [MDL-81919](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81919)
- The following classes are now also available in the `\core\` namespace and support autoloading:

  | Old class name       | New class name            |
  | ---                  | ---                       |
  | `\emoticon_manager`  | `\core\emoticon_manager`  |

- A new method, `\core\output\::get_deprecated_icons()`, has been added to the `icon_system` class. All deprecated icons should be registered through this method.
  Plugins can implement a callback to `pluginname_get_deprecated_icons()` to register their deprecated icons too.
  When `$CFG->debugpageinfo` is enabled, a console message will display a list of the deprecated icons.

  For more information see [MDL-82212](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82212)
- Two new optional parameters have been added to the `\core\output\notification` constructor:
  - `null|string $title` - `null|string $icon`

  For more information see [MDL-82297](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82297)
- A new method, `\url_select::set_disabled_option()`, has been added to enable or disable an option from its url (the key for the option).

  For more information see [MDL-82490](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82490)
- A new static method, `\advanced_testcase::get_fixture_path()`, has been added to enable unit tests to fetch the path to a fixture.

  For more information see [MDL-82627](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82627)
- A new static method, `\advanced_testcase::get_mocked_http_client()`, has been added to allow unit tests to mock the `\core\http_client` and update the DI container.

  For more information see [MDL-82627](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82627)
- The Moodle autoloader should now be registered using `\core\component::register_autoloader` rather than manually doing so in any exceptional location which requires it.
  Note: It is not normally necessary to include the autoloader manually, as it is registered automatically when the Moodle environment is bootstrapped.

  For more information see [MDL-82747](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82747)
- A new JS module for interacting with the Routed REST API has been introduced.
  For more information see the documentation in the `core/fetch` module.

  For more information see [MDL-82778](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82778)
- The `\section_info` class now includes a new method `\section_info::get_sequence_cm_infos()` that retrieves all `\cm_info` instances associated with the course section.

  For more information see [MDL-82845](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82845)
- When rendering a renderable located within a namespace, the namespace
  will now be included in the renderer method name with double-underscores
  separating the namespace parts.

  Note: Only those renderables within an `output` namespace will be
  considered, for example `\core\output\action_menu\link` and only the
  parts of the namespace after `output` will be included.

  The following are examples of the new behaviour:

  | Renderable name                          | Renderer method name                |
  | ---                                      | ---                                 |
  | `\core\output\action_menu\link`          | `render_action_menu__link`          |
  | `\core\output\action_menu\link_primary`  | `render_action_menu__link_primary`  |
  | `\core\output\action\menu\link`          | `render_action__menu__link`         |
  | `\core\output\user_menu\link`            | `render_user_menu__link`            |

  For more information see [MDL-81781](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81781)
- The `\get_home_page()` function can now return new constant `HOMEPAGE_URL`, applicable when a third-party hook has extended the default homepage options for the site.

  A new function, `\get_default_home_page_url()` has been added which will return the correct URL when this constant is returned.

  For more information see [MDL-82066](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82066)

#### Deprecated

- The following method has been deprecated and should no longer be used: `reset_password_and_mail`. Please consider using `setnew_password_and_mail` as a replacement.
