Moodle 2.0 release notes: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:30, 4 May 2010

Note: This page is a work-in-progress. Feedback and suggested improvements are welcome. Please join the discussion on moodle.org or use the page comments.

Release date: July 20, 2010

Before the final release we will have a series of rapidly improving Preview releases, roughly weekly. These are to allow a wider range of developers and contributors to test the code on copies of their production servers, help us tweak the interface and performance, and work on translations, modules and other third-party code (most of which will have to be rewritten significantly).

Moodle 2.0

Here is the full list of fixed issues in 2.0.

The notes below are under construction right now.

For Developers: API Changes

See Development:Migrating_contrib_code_to_2.0

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
