Cold numbers:

34 issues have been successfully integrated with 4 rejected and 1 delayed. That's 89% success, nice one!

Notes:

  • With 57 issues under peer-review the list has been greatly reduced over the last week... still we need to get it further down. Any help is welcome!
  • We are delaying next minor releases by 1 week, from January 8th to January 15th, in a preventive way, because of all the public holidays and leaves, making the 2 previous weeks really short in both time and resources. Aiming to better and easier releases for everybody with the move.
  • Since some weeks ago we are outsourcing our manual testing of integrated issues to an external company, towards allowing developers to stay more concentrated on their awesome solutions and fixes. So far, around the 40% of the testing load is already being handled externally. Let's see how the initiative evolves!

Hot topics:

  • MDL-60759 : compatibility with Solr 7.x added.
  • MDL-60043 : performance improvements in sites with many overrides.
  • MDL-54106 : make delete unconfirmed users to work.
  • MDL-45500 : enable the ability of uninstalling grading plugins.
  • And lots more in areas like unit tests, competencies, themes, calendar, lesson...

Warm thanks:

  • To Mark Nelson, from HQ, an absolute Moodle & Snow legend. For all these years giving us so much, with your personality, your mood, your way... don't change ever, please! Thanks!

The characteristics of an authentically

empowered personality are humbleness,

clarity, forgiveness and love.
