Date de sortie : 24 novembre 2010

Avant la version finale, il y a plusieurs pré-versions. Il s'agit de permettre à un plus large éventail de développeurs et contributeurs de tester le code sur des copies de leurs serveurs de production, pour aider à peaufiner l'interface et les performances, et de travailler sur les traductions, modules et autres codes de tiers (dont la plupart devront être réécrit de manière significative).

Moodle 2.0 contient un grand nombre de nouvelles fonctionnalités, d'autres ont été complètement réécrites, et il y a des centaines de corrections de bugs. Voici la liste des détails sur les évolutions et corrections de bogues de cette version 2.0 (en anglais).

Cette page est un résumé des éléments les plus importants (des liens et copies d'écrans viendront plus tard).

Nouvelles fonctionnalités

Community hubs

• Anybody can set up a Community Hub, which is a directory of courses for public use or for private communities. The code is implemented as separate GPL plugin for Moodle.
• Sites can register to any Community Hub (instead of just moodle.org)
• Teachers on registered sites can publish their full courses to Community Hubs, for download
• Teachers on registered sites can also advertise their courses on Community Hubs, for people to join
• Teachers on any site can search all public Community Hubs and download courses as templates for their own courses
• Users on any Moodle site can also search Community Hubs for courses (and communities of practice) to participate in. Initially we are encouraging 'communities of teaching practice' but any sort of course can be listed.

Repository support

• Moodle now supports integration with external repositories of content, making it really simple to bring documents and media into Moodle via an AJAX interface that looks like a standard Open dialogue in desktop applications.
• Initial plugins in 2.0 include: Alfresco, Amazon S3, Box.net, File system on Server, Flickr, Google Docs, Mahara, MERLOT, Picasa, Recent Files, Remote Moodle sites, WebDAV servers, Wikimedia, Youtube. These are simple to develop, so many more are expected.
• You can also import files from your desktop or by specifying a URL.

Portfolio support

• Modules can now export their data to external systems, particularly useful for portfolios where snapshots of forums, assignments and other things in Moodle are useful to record in a journal or a portfolio of evidence
• Different formats are supported (currently LEAP2A, HTML, Images and Text, but others like PDF can be added)
• Initial plugins in 2.0 include: Box.net, Flickr, Google Docs, Mahara and Picasa.

Completion

• Teachers can now specify conditions that define when any activity is seen as completed by a student. For example, when a certain number of posts have been made, or a grade has been reached, or a choice has been made.
• Teachers can now specify conditions that define with any course is seen as completed by a student. Conditions include activity completion, but could also be by grade, date or a number of other criteria.
• Teachers and students can see reports that show the progress of any user within a course, or through a series of courses.

Activités conditionnelles

• Access to activities can be restricted based on certain criteria, such as dates, grade obtained, or the completion of another activity.
• These can be chained together to enable progressive disclosure of the course content, if that is desired.

Cohortes

• Also known as "Site-wide groups", these are site-wide collections of users that can be enrolled into courses in one action, either manually or synchronised automatically

Web services support

• Support for standards-based web services across the entire Moodle code base, allowing the admin to expose particular functions of Moodle for use by:
  • Administrative systems such as HR or SIS applications
  • Mobile clients
• Framework contains a very high-level of security with a detailed token system and complete control over the range of functions exposed
• All defined functions are automatically available via:
  • SOAP
  • XML-RPC
  • REST
  • AMF (Flash)

IMS Common Cartridge

• Moodle can now import courses in IMS Common Cartridge format (commonly used by publishers)

Nouveaux blocs

• Comments block - like a shoutbox, allows comments to be added to any page. Great for student feedback.
• Private files block - allows easy access to one's private file repository in Moodle (with quota support)
• Community block - keeps track of external courses one is interested in
• Completion block - reports on the completion status of your courses

Améliorations majeures de fonctionnalités du cœur de Moodle

Sauvegarde et restauration

• Completely rewritten Backup/Restore framework, no longer bound by memory (can work with any size course).
• Completely new backup format.
• Improved interface.
• Backup can be made of whole courses, but also specific sections or activities.

Blocs

• Blocks are now consistently implemented on every page in Moodle
• No longer any limit to the block regions (in addition to left and right, put them at the top, center or bottom of pages)
• Any block can be made sticky (appears in all the contexts below, eg throughout a course).
• Blocks can be "docked" on the side of the screen (if the theme supports it)

Blog

• Support for comments on each blog entry
• Removal of group-level and course-level blogs (these are converted into forums on upgrade)
• Support for external blog feeds (synchronised to Moodle blog)

Commentaires

• User activity reports will include all the comments made by that user

Plugins d'inscription

• Major improvements in the handling of guests and guest accounts

• More detailed control over enrolment in courses

Gestion des fichiers

• Full support for Unicode file names on all operating systems.
• Metadata about each file (author, date, license, etc) and what the file is used for are stored in the database.
• Duplicate files (for example, a large video file use in two different courses) are only stored once, saving disk space.
• Files are no longer just "uploaded to the course". Files are connected to the particular bit of Moodle content that uses them. (For example, a file may belong to a file resource, a forum post or a wiki page). Access to these files is then controlled by the same rules as as that bit of Moodle, increasing security.

Prérequis système

Moodle 2.0 étant une version majeure, nous nous permettons quelques augmentations dans les exigences système.

• PHP 5.2.8 (sorti le 8/12/2008) est la version minimale requise. Nous sommes conscients que plusieurs distributions Linux utilisent toujours des versions antérieures, comme la version 5.2.6, mais la version 5.2.x minimum est nécessaire pour la nouvelle API de fichier, et il y a des bogues dans les versions jusqu'à 5.2.7 que nous ne pouvons pas contourner. Cela permet aux développeurs d'écrire du code plus propre en utilisant les fonctionnalités récentes de PHP, et permettra également d'améliorer l'usage pour les utilisateurs.
• Les bases de données supportées sont les suivantes :
  • MySQL 5.0.25 ou ultérieur (stockage InnoDB fortement recommandé)
  • PostgreSQL 8.3 ou ultérieur
  • Oracle 10.2 ou ultérieur
  • MS SQL 2005 ou ultérieur
• Un navigateur internet respectant les standards de ces dernières années, par exemple :
  • Firefox 3 ou version ultérieure
  • Safari 3 ou version ultérieure
  • Google Chrome 4 ou version ultérieure
  • Opera 9 ou version ultérieure
  • MS Internet Explorer 7 ou version ultérieure (Même Google ne supporte plus IE6)

Informations sur la mise à jour

• Pour passer à Moodle 2.0, vous devez avoir Moodle 1.9 ou ultérieur installé. Si vous utilisez une version plus ancienne (comme 1.8.x), vous devez d'abord passer à Moodle 1.9.
• Nous vous recommandons très fortement de tester la mise à jour sur une copie de votre site de production, afin de tester que tout fonctionne comme prévu.

Pour les développeurs : changement dans les API

Voir comment migrer le code pour Moodle 2.0 (en anglais)

• Database layer changes - you will need to update your code.
• File handling changes - you will need to update your code.
• Rendering layer changes - should be mostly backwards compatible, but you are advised to upgrade your code.
• Require capability used to do an automatic require_login. It no longer does so. All pages must explicitly call require_login if they need it. MDL-19882
• Changes to the question type API
• MNet has been refactored and tidied up - related third party code needs to be checked
• Changes and improvements to the Local customisation system.
• Javascript
