Hello,

I've released a release candidate version of the Adaptable theme as follows:

Release 405.0.1 for Moodle 4.5 version 2024100700.00 (Build: 20241007) and above within the MOODLE_405_STABLE branch until the next release:

with:

  1. Block region tidy when editing, 'Add block' button for each region and added 'blockregioneditingtitleshown' setting under 'Block' with a default of true.
  2. Impact of MDL-81920 and MDL-81960.
  3. Release candidate initial release.

Because of MDL-81920 and MDL-81960, see https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/v4.5.0/UPGRADING.md - there are more changes than I anticipated, therefore this first version is a release candidate version and should not go on a production server unless you're really sure after testing.  As soon as I'm confident that this version can be marked as 'stable' then I will do so.  Given https://moodledev.io/general/releases I intend to no longer publish releases for Moodle 4.1 to 4.4 on https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_adaptable, especially as M4.5 is an LTS version.  And if I do, then they will likely only contain important bug fixes and not improvements.

Note: Adaptable for Moodle 4.1 and above contain some functionality that is available to sponsors only.  Always install on a test server to confirm that the theme does what you want it to do before updating or installing on a production server.

Always install on a test server to confirm that the theme does what you want it to do before updating or installing on a production server!  And as this release could contain bugs and so I strongly recommend that you check on a test server first!  Not sure how to set one up?  Then look at the 'Installer packages' on https://download.moodle.org/releases/latest/. Ensure that you have multiple backups of all data before using.  Please report any issues. i.e. 'bugs' with this release ONLY here.  Before doing so please read 'Reporting issues' on the 'Information' tab on the theme 'Settings' under 'Site administration' -> 'Appearance' -> 'Adaptable'.

If you find this post useful, then please mark it so.

Thank you,

Gareth
