Major new features

Other Highlights

Security issues

To be released later

For developers: API changes

Core API changes

New plugin types

Plugin API changes

DB changes

  • MDL-29313 - Length limit for VARCHAR columns under all Databases has been raised to 1333 chars. This will allow using that column type to store URLs and longer contents in general.
  • Specifically for Oracle installations:
    • MDL-29322 - All VARCHAR2 columns will be created using CHAR semantics instead of default BYTE semantics in Moodle 2.2 and upwards. This provides better cross-db compatibility and improves storage of longer Unicode strings.
    • MDL-29416 - For all existing sites, one new report has been added under Admin -> Development -> XMLDB Editor -> Check semantics, able to detect all the "old" BYTE semantics remaining in the database and generate the SQL statements needed to move them to proper CHAR semantics.

Libraries deleted from distribution

This is the list of some outdated / unused libraries that aren't bundled anymore with Moodle 2.2 and upwards. Any (contrib / custom) plugin using them should change to better alternatives or include its own copy of them:


Webservice changes

  • MDL-20804 - SOAP server can now publish detailed object structures via WSDL
  • MDL-29106 - New naming convention
  • MDL-29435 - SOAP/XML-RPC return clear error message when Moodle debug mode >= NORMAL
  • MDL-29277 - Any error at the web service description level is clearly indicated => which parameter/returned value is wrong, and what was expected.
  • MDL-29279 - REST server can return JSON
  • MDL-29276 - Many other web service improvements
  • Many web service demo clients
  • Full web service user and developer documentation update.
  • New web service roadmap
