Moodle 3.9.4 release notes

Releases > Moodle 3.9.4 release notes

Release date: 18 January 2021

Here is the full list of fixed issues in 3.9.4.

Warning

If you use a custom course format, and your courses have a lots of sections, then be aware of the MDL-69431 change. Course formats used to have a method get_max_sections which used to be ignored, so you probably never implemented it, so you get the default return value of 52. With Moodle 3.9.4 you wont be able to edit activties in your big courses until you have fixed your custom course format plugin.
