Security issues

All security issues that were fixed in 2.2.x and 2.1.x were also fixed in 2.3.

For developers: API changes

Core API changes

• MDL-31902 All xxx_get_participants() functions are removed from core

Webservice changes

Few changes could break existing web service clients in 2.3 - untill this version we tried not to break anything. However these changes will make the client's developer life easier, so we prefered to do them now than later. Please take in consideration these improvements and retest your clients:

• Error codes and Warnings
• All text fields have an additional format field as parameter and return value (MDL-32581)
• Thanks to the increasing number of contributions, we improved our contributor web service guide
• From 2.3, all web service functions integrated in master will land (when possible) in supported minor versions (e.g. 2.3.1, 2.3.2...).
• Many fixes and new API functions.

Community hub changes

Some bug fixes and improvements in core and in the plugin. Hub administrators must update their hub to the most recent version regarding CONTRIB-3646.
