Moodle 1.9.4 release notes
From MoodleDocs
Release date: Not yet released
Highlights
- New options to allow Moodle to be configured to comply with European and US privacy regulations, like FERPA. Petr Skoda, moodle.com
- 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. Tim Hunt, moodle.com
- Essay questions can now be randomised by random questions. This must be enabled under Administration > Miscellaneous > Experimental. (MDL-8648) Tim Hunt, moodle.com.
- 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. Tim Hunt, moodle.com
- New Site policies setting for disabling Notes
- 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. Petr Skoda and Tim Hunt, moodle.com
