Hi developers,

This is a heads-up that 1.9.8 is coming soon with a few security fixes.

Please be extremely cautious with any changes to MOODLE_19_STABLE at the moment:
  • avoid any new features (as usual)
  • avoid any database changes (of course)
  • avoid any bug fixes (unless you are 100% sure there is no possibility of regressions)
If you find any show-stopper problems in this week's weekly build then please file "BLOCKER" issues in the tracker.

Cheers!

Thanks Gordon, you are doing some amazing work.

Unfortunately these new core APIs are still changing even now as we work with them (eg MDL-21235)... Upgrading code to work fully with Moodle 2.0 is going to cause significant work everywhere ... the results are worth it but it's a long hard road. That's why I'm being very conservative about adding new modules in 2.0 core right now.

Keep in touch about HotPot and let us know if we can help. We've already been doing a lot of maintenance on it in the past months.

Moodle 2.1, on the other hand, is going to have all the core team focussing exclusively on popular activity modules, blocks etc. (dance) smile I'm really looking forward to that.
