 * Following behat steps have been removed from core:
     - I go to "<gradepath_string>" in the course gradebook
 * A new admin setting widget 'core_admin\local\settings\filesize' is added.
+* A new setting 'Cache templates' was added (see MDL-66367). This setting determines if templates are cached or not.
+  This setting can be set via the UI or by defining $CFG->cachetemplates in your config.php file. It is a boolean
