* Makes it possible to safely call acquire_lock so that it throws an
exception instead of returning false if it can't get a lock (which
most existing uses assumed it already does).
* Fix some omissions from the requirelockingbeforewrite option (it
now checks on delete).
* Modinfo uses a versioned cache, so it is not necessary to delete
items, only increase the version. (Provided we keep track of
cacherev carefully...)
The $CFG->svgicons setting was introduced in Moodle 2.4 due to incomplete
SVG support in certain web browsers.
The landscape has evolved significantly since then, and all modern browsers
now handle SVG files correctly.
The $CFG->svgicons settings has been removed and the supports_svg() method
has been updated with currently supported browsers (IE support was removed
in Moodle 3.10).
Ensure that all system icons now come with an accompanying SVG file.
Any missing SVG files have been addressed, and to maintain this consistency,
a PHPUnit test has been implemented to validate the inclusion of SVG files
for any new icons.
The above syntax is defined as supported by the class, for example the
format '5/10' means:
"At every 10th <unit> from 5 through <max>."
It is analogous to '5-<max>/10'.
Instead of doing an exact checking of the page title in
\behat_hooks::before_step(), do a more lenient check by checking that
the page title contains the acceptance test's site name.
1. Modified the password related forms
2. Added a new constant in moodlelib.php called MAX_PASSWORD_CHARACTERS
3. Added a new method in moodlelib.php called exeeds_password_length
4. Updated the upgrade.text
Add a pepper to the users supplied password.
The pepper is stored in CFG and user to add extra security to
the password hash. By effectively breaking the information to
create the hashed password into two and storing it in more
than one place.
Read-only forms do not belong to a <form> element, so we can't refer
to that. Instead find the `.mform` element (which exists for regular
and read-only forms).
* Add parameter to drop zero time units. So a time interval like
"3d 0h 0s" will be returned as "3d" only.
* Add parameter to display full format for time units. E.g. Instead of
"3d 2h", it will be returned as "3 days 2 hours"
* Deprecate unused dateintervaldayshoursmins langconfig string.
Replace the bcrypt password hashing algorithm with SHA-512.
Existing bcrypt hashes will be updated to SHA-512 when a user
logs in next. Support for old md5 hashes has been removed.
Any reamining md5 hashes are replaced with SHA-512 hashes
from strong random passwords.
