Moodle 1.9.4 release notes
From MoodleDocs
Release date: Not yet released
Highlights
- MDL-17205 New options to allow Moodle to be configured to comply with European and US privacy regulations, like FERPA.
- MDL-17479 etc Fix bugs relating to creating and editing course categories. Previously, giving admin permissions in a category and its subcategories did not work reliably. In the process, the separate create, update and delete category capabilities were replaced with moodle/category:manage, and moodle/category:visibility was renamed to moodle/category:viewhiddencategories.
- MDL-8648 Essay questions can now be randomised by random questions. This must be enabled under Administration > Miscellaneous > Experimental.
- MDL-14926 A new capability mod/quiz:reviewmyattempts, separate from mod/quiz:attempt. This let's you create a read-only role that lets students see what they have done on a course in the past, without being able to change anything any more.
- MDL-17472 New Site policies setting for disabling Notes completely
- New Internal enrolment settings for enforcing enrolment key usage and complexity
- Email notification of course requests, and a new capability moodle/course:request to control who can request courses.
- MDL-17364 New Forum setting for enabling AJAX forum ratings
- MDL-10021 New option (named "Yes, object") for the file resource "Keep navigation visible" setting. This option displays a resource in a XHTML strict page. Other options has been kept
