Cold numbers:

62 issues have been successfully integrated with 9 rejected and 1 delayed. That is 87% success - good work.

Notes:

  • This week was the final one to get new features integrated into Moodle 2.8 and so it was a busy one. Integrators and testers were kept busy with a staggering 727 files changed, 232999 insertions(+), 77778 deletions(-). Hopefully we can get to the point where we avoid so much landing at once in future, better to spread the load.
  • Earlier today, Moodle 2.8 Beta was released. The release signifies our change in focus towards testing Moodle 2.8 and getting it polished for the release in a month's time.
  • The Moodle 2.8 QA cycle starts on Monday - we've got more automated tests than ever before - 21,673 automated acceptance test steps, 50,774 unit test assertions but of course we really appreciate and value our human testers who find things the bots can't! Stay tuned to the Testing and QA forum to find out how you can get invovled.

Hot topics:

  • MDL-3714 - reply to forum posts by email
  • MDL-31936 - workshop module now supports reset
  • MDL-45893 - New User menu
  • MDL-43089 - improved user interface for building quizzes
  • MDL-43472 - moving courses functionality restored to the course search screen
  • MDL-46210 - Language packs will now be updated automatically
  • MDL-32870 - Lesson questions and answers can now embed files
  • MDL-46481 - 'One click' backup
  • MDL-46576 - Natural aggregation in gradebook

Warm thanks:

To Helen Foster & Mary Cooch for tirelessly working with us to improve understability, document our new features and make our ready for all our users. Thanks!

(This gives me an opportunity to developers this is a warning to you to, remember Helen, Mary and the other authors/trainers etc who will need to redo a screenshot or screencast because you decided you *needed* to change something after freeze!).

I'm off to the pub!

Yes, the Google API update was main offender, but there was a serious amount of change elsewhere too:
