Important:

Please read my previous release post (https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=468288) if you want to know why 'numsections' has been removed.

Always install on a test server to confirm that the format 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 course format 'Settings' under 'Site administration' -> 'Plugins' -> 'Course formats' -> 'Grid'.

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

Thank you,

Gareth
