The badges feature allows to integrate Mozilla "Open Badges" to issue, assign,
manage and display digital badges in Moodle. This feature supports:
-- badge creation and issuing based on criteria
-- badge baking and verification service
-- direct pushing of internal badges to external backpack
-- interanl and external badge display in Moodle
-- Moodle block to display latest badges
* New Capability report put under Users -> Permissions
* Miscellaneous category renamed to Development
* Unit tests and Functional DB test moved to be under Development.
* The hard-coded hack that was used to change the permission that controls the Backups and stats reports replaced with settings.php files.
* There were two hidden Miscellaneous things in the old category, so I moved them. Multilan upgrade now under Lanuages, and Online assignment cleanup now under Plugins -> Activity modules. Both still hidden.
There was already a way for admin report plugins to control where they appeared in the tree, but it was not documented, so see http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Admin_reports
Yes, I know I changed an existing language string, which is supposed to be wrong, but I changed it so that the string 'plugin' is now 'Plugin'. I just cannot see that as a wrong change.
MDL-11566 only site shortname, fullname and desc are required/displayed during installation
MDL-11567 fixed upgradesettings redirects if error in settings
MDL-11143 defaultfrontpageroleid moved to Frontpage settings page (easier to find), speedup
Reports now don't need mod.php but they should include the admin headers/footers.
There are undoubtedly bugs in this but this framework should be more sane
