Upgrade notes
If you are upgrading from an earlier preview of 2.0, then please note that the upgrade this week slightly differs from a clean install.
- If you can, then drop the tables and REINSTALL YOUR TEST SITE FROM SCRATCH.
- If you want to adjust your upgraded site to make it like a new site, then edit the Authenticated User role and change all the repository/xxxx:view capabilities to ALLOW.
What this Preview is
The current version of Moodle 2.0 is getting to the point where we are feeling comfortable inviting experienced Moodle users to try it out and start giving us more detailed feedback.
This is the third Preview release in a series of about eight before the final release.
What this Preview is not
This is not finished code. This is not for production servers. Do not use it for production. DO NOT USE IT FOR PRODUCTION! :-)
Software is complex stuff. A quick line count of the whole of 2.0 (including libraries but not HTML, JS, CSS or 3rd party modules) comes to over a million lines of PHP scripts.
We are on the home stretch for this thing now but it's going to be a VERY busy next few months for us at Moodle HQ and all the others helping with Moodle development in various capacities.
Moodle 2.0 features
For more details about what is actually in Moodle 2.0, see the Moodle 2.0 release notes.
Improvements since Preview 2
Coming soon...
Development/Testing Focus for this week!
Coming soon...
Remaining new features
There are also still a couple of biggish patches that will be ready in the coming weeks, such as:
- Restore for 2.0 and 1.9 backups MDL-21432 (Only 2.0 backups currently working)
- Enrolments rewrite MDL-21782 Mostly done, just needs UI work
- Plagiarism API MDL-13680 ready to drop in after another review
- Text formats as plugins
However the July deadline is important, so some of these may not make it into 2.0 if time is too tight.
Look out for Moodle 2.0 Preview 4 in a week or so!
