security MDL-18807 Fixed deprecated function in notification

security MDL-18807 Changed language strings: Thanks for the new strings Helen

MDL-18006 MDL-18807 MDL-20853 merging sam's changes from MOODLE_19_STABLE, going to fix some more problems in this new code soon

MDL-19676 MDL-14408 MDL-8776 Blog improvements

admin MDL-19799 Upgraded print_header and build_navigation calls to use PAGE and OUTPUT equivilants

admin MDL-19799 Upgraded print_header and build_navigation calls to use PAGE and OUTPUT equivilants

themes & blocks - MDL-19077 & MDL-19010 blocks are now printed by the theme

The code to print blocks in now in theme layout.php files. (Or in
moodle_core_renderer::handle_legacy_theme)

Code for printing blocks everywhere else has been stripped out.
(Total diffstat 1225 insertions, 2019 deletions)

The way the HTML for a block instance is generated has been cleaned
up a lot. Now, the block_instance generates a block_contents
object which gives a structured representation of the block,
and then $OUTPUT->block builds all the HTML from that.

How theme config.php files specify the layout template and block
regions by page general type has been changed to be even more flexible.

Further refinement for how the theme and block code gets initialised.

Ability for scrits to add 'pretend blocks' to the page. That is,
things that look like blocks, but are not normal block_instances.
(Like the add a new block UI.)

Things that are still broken:
 * some pages in lesson, quiz and resource. I'm working on it.
 * lots of developer debug notices pointing out things that
   need to be updated.

themes: MDL-19077 fix install regression

install: MDL-19610 encapsulate empty($CFG->rolesactive) checks in a during_initial_install() function.

translation: MDL-18766 reverting. I guess it was not yet ready for prime-time.

I'll commit the patch to contrib in case anyone wishes to experiment further.

translation: MDL-18766 Prototype automatic translation system for Moodle.

If Google can do something like http://translate.google.com/, surely we
can do something just as good in Moodle. Here is a first attempt. It is
a bit rough around the edges, and only a couple of target lananguages
have been implemented so far. (More and better attempts welcome!)

In order to ensure that this gets adequate testing, I have made sure that
it gets turn on by default. However, if you really don't like it, you can
turn it off under Administration > Development -> Experimental settings.

upgrade: Make the environment page a bit less rediculously long. I still can't make it fit on one screen.

MDL-18293 exception and DML cleanup

MDL-9796 environment - make install & upgrade to ignore dataroot xml file (ENV_SELECT_RELEASE)

MDL-17458 standardised lang upgrade code + updating also parent language

MDL-14924 the same title now used on each upgrade/install page (Moodle - 2.0...) + the same footer with moodle logo now used during installation and upgrade - links to admin docs

MDL-18112 making the php version error less harsh - now displayed only if php < 5.2.0, versions < 5.2.8 are detected during environment test

MDL-17458 fixed headers used during installation

MDL-17458 more installation improvements and cleanup

MDL-17427 more cleanup

MDL-17427 fixed regressions

MDL-10275 added fatal PHP config setting test on each page, replaces some tests done in installer

MDL-17458 upgrade logging implemented + a lot more refactoring + exceptions implemented in install/upgrade code + lang pack cleanup + some more improvements

MDL-17458 refactored guest and admin user creation + refactored roles install + added protection for installation hijacking + added reliable session test right before editting of admin account

MDL-17427 moving upgrade code from adminlib to upgradelib + new upgrade logging functions

MDL-17427 another round of refactoring of upgrade related functions - this should be final now I hope ;-)

MDL-17458 fixed lang selection in sessionless db installer

admin: xhtml strict problems.

upgrade reload icon MDL-17924 unobfuscate Martin's reload icon.

backup/restore: MDL-16614 more reliable test for when we are restoring a backup that was made of the same site that we are restoring to.

* Use this to fix a question restore bug.
* Replace older code that does something similar with the new test.
* Refactor initialisation of $CFG->siteidentifier into a function. There were about 4 copies of this code ;-)

MDL-17458 minor coding style improvements

upgrade reload icon  MDL-17924 Replaced form with an icon

MDL-17458 fixed some buttons and upgrade strings

MDL-17868 detection of incorrect hadnling of floats in version numbers - this should prevent dataloss in case it does not work as expected; merged from MOODLE_19_STABLE

MDL-17457 removed all statements from main install.xml, some more improvements

MDL-17849 sql queries not printed by default during upgrade anymore, there is a new config.php only setting $CFG->upgradeshowsql instead

MDL-17845 now only one page per installs/upgrade :-D

MDL-16483 reverting changes done to admin/index.php, adding new /admin/report/unittest/test_tables script.php (not finished yet!)

MDL-11061 removed wwwroot tests from admin/index.php, now in setuplib.php

admin interface: MDL-11061 Incorrect check check on wwwroot causing invalid

admin MDL-17429 Move registration button to admin menu, and make registration page a proper admin page, also fix bad DML call
admin MDL-16867 Change "Optional subsystems" menu item to "Advanced features"

(Sorry for the mixed checkin)

undefined $site causing registerauth to be asked once and again, and again... MDL-16546
eVS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

MDL-15666 MDL-16486

MDL-16483 Refactored install/upgrade code into lib/adminlib. Created an intermediate MoodleUnitTestCase class that overrides simpletest's constructor, destructor and setup/teardown methods. All moodle unit tests must extend this class.

Turn off strict XML headers during upgrade, so if an error occurrs, you are more likely to be able to see what happened.

Tab -> spaces

MDL-16268 User-User send messages now use new messaging system.

MDL-15876 I hope the multicheckbox now works 100% :-)

Added plugin hooks for http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Progress_tracking

MDL-15410 Require PHP 5.2.4 instead of 5.2.0 in HEAD because PHP 5.2.0 has many known problems :-(

MDL-10107   Fixed the definition of message providers ... it now works through files very similar to those for events and capabilities, which makes them easy to add/remove/change as necessary

MDL-15883 initialise mnet from admin/index.php

portfolio checkin-

see http://git.catalyst.net.nz/gw?p=moodle-r2.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/portfolio for changelog

commit point is this hash on that branch: f9642af4e8bd319d4ecdfd83589db61a8fa6fef2

This comes with two plugins, box.net & download

MDL-15413 warn admins if display_errors enabled

MDL-14580 rewritten course sorting algorithms

MDL-15094 lib/db/upgrade.php is required file

MDL-15246 moving all remaining ddl function to adminlib, keeping old lib/ddllib.php only for BC withexisting code; fixed inline docs related to ddl

MDL-14679 converted some get/set_field()

MDL-14679 fixed addslashes

MDL-14965: Pass-by-reference call broke install on php5

Installer fixed, prefixes improved, moved conn settings to connect() and some more improvements. MDL-14864

Revert the prefix check to admin/index.php. MDL-14877

MDL-14679 ok, here is the big patch with new dmllib and ddlib API, some code is already converted, XML db editor works; see tracker for details of regressions and TODOs

MDL-14605 removing roles upgrade links, only installation needed in HEAD

MDL-14605 removing stats upgrade stuff

"MDL-14460, fix all the other get_context_instance, merged from MOODLE_19_STABLE"

MDL-13103 merging from 1.9

MDL-13101 New section of the upgrade process: plugins check

MDL-12914 Register globals trouble; merged from MOODLE_19_STABLE

Merge MDL-12904 (db support for auth plugins) from 1.9 and 1.8

Merged from MOODLE_19_STABLE: MDL-12884 web installer should set the depth of the miscellaneous course category to 1 too (discussion in moodle hq skype chat with Petr)

MDL-12817 logout before 1.9 upgrade in order to prevent weird upgrade problems; merged from MOODLE_19_STABLE

MDL-12717  use apply_default_exception_settings before other admin defaults; merged from MOODLE_19_STABLE

MDL-11401, merged from 19_STABLE

MDL-8330, adding a warning to translators about updating of lang packs

MDL-11061 - admin notifications about $CFG->wwwroot, which sometimes lead to obscure errors. Merged from MOODLE_19_STABLE.

MDL-11688 makes sure all course and user contexts exist during upgrade (all contexts when going from in 1.6) - this is needed for grade_letter upgrade; other minor tweaks - the USER->access is now loaded automatically, feedback parameters added

MDL-11566 site summary now optional

MDL-11562 supportname and supportemail are are now initialized after admin user setup
MDL-11566 only site shortname, fullname and desc are required/displayed during installation

MDL-11143 defaultfrontpageroleid moved to Frontpage settings page (easier to find), speedup

Deleting the Db migrate to UTF-8 button. It isn't there anymore.

accesslib - Ensure newly-created categories have a context

New categories need a context immediately, and for top-level
categories, they also need to taint the "root" context to trigger
a reload of $USER->access.

This fixes problems with creation of initial courses(MDL-11178),
duplicate misc categories, etc.

admin/index: Populate the context path JIT for the new admin user

With this call to build_context_path() the admin rights of the new
user are loaded just before they are first needed.

MDL-10870 All files updated to new build_navigation() method.

MDL-10383 - major groups patch - see bug i ntracker for more details - authors: Nick, Matt, Enrique and me

Use the new, central, create_guest_record() function. MDL-10375

FIxed site identifier

MDL-8250 moved version include before main install to allow release info display before install

(MDL-8250) install/upgrade autopilot

Fixed typo causing mysql fail on install without prefix. MDL-8203

print_footer('none') during install and upgrade to hide home link and xhtml strict fixes

Adding some $CFG->dbfamily-s here and there. MDL-7061

Tidying up some strict!

Fixes for copyright notice during install MDL-8114

mnet: Some very minor style (etc) fixes


Author: Donal McMullan <donal@catalyst.net.nz>

mnet/multienrol: admin area changes, including test for curl extension

Checking in Nick Freear's changes and evolution of Julette White's code
with a few modifications made to the install process) for further work in HEAD.

See MDL-7380 for details.

MDL-7887 Multilang upgrade to new tags in Moodle 1.8

MDL-7401 Course format database/backup/lang/stylesheet/capability support

MDL-6332 fixed proper storing of unicodedb flag - after config table creation

we are going 100% unicode now - removed use of $CFG->unicodedb and current_charset(); MDL-7439 - part 2, only hotpot and wiki left

added check to stop installation in admin/index.php if db is not unicode MDL-6858

Merged MDL-7351 from stable

merged added code to force mysql db to change default encoding during fresh installation

It is now no longer possible to upgrade to 1.8 or later from non-Unicode
Moodle.   Admins get a message explaining they need to upgrade to 1.7.x first.

MDL-6857

Now admin/index.php checks for proper prefixes (MDL-6230)

Merged from MOODLE_17_STABLE

Not necessary to set unicodedb for each admin/index.php invocation
because setup.php saves it if needed.

Fix some doc links

Trivial spelling fix up

fixed logic of moodle_install_roles() - it now calls update_capabilities() after creation of default roles, but before first role_assign(). The problem was that role_assign calls code from forum lib which already uses capabilities, this might cause even bigger problems later.

coverted /admin/ to proper /$CFG->admin/ in paths

Fixed notice() so that you can pass a course if you want

debugging and error reporting level fixes and improvements MDL-6671

set config statsupgraded during install so we don't try upgrade later

moved call to upgrade stats until after all the roles stuff has been set up

DOn't terminate upgrade if stats didn't work

stats rework: 1. upgrade schema and move data to new schema. (credit: Nigel McNie <nigel@catalyst.net.nz>).  2. Stats processing uses new schema. THIS NEEDS TESTING ON MYSQL.  Still to do: schema files (install.xml,*.sql still to be committed), reports to use new schema.

old admin configuration cleanup - MDL-6595 MDL-6449 MDL-6447

Now XMLDB installation is enabled! Old mysql.php and postgres7.php can
continue being used as previously until we finish all the required
DDL functions.

Also, this implies that *.sql files aren't needed anymore. Now all we have to do
is to maintain the install.xml files from the editor.

major whitespace cleanup - fixed trailng whitespace in new files and admin area

replacing references to user_* tables

Tidying up a bit

Fixed MDL-6479 by adding two block columns on admin pages.

Also we now hide the blocks and headers completely until $SITE is properly
defined.

fixed funny continue button during installation

removed useless "changes saved" messages from redirects in administration and user management

move newly created admin_tree block to the left column during upgrade from 1.6

fixed several bogus errors and warnings during installation and upgrades, forced logout when upgrading from 1.6

minor include cleanup

minor fix

removed useless includes

add admin_tree to front page during install and upgrade

new admin block fixes and reorganisation - I guess we need something more traditional for now

fixes for new admin blocks

Only launch the old upgrade if it exists. It doesn'texist for new DB
flavours and modules.

added prune() to admin tree class to prevent errors in applying of backup defaults

fixed frontpagesettings, install is not useing admin/site.php anymore

deglobalization of $ADMIN; merged admin/adminlib.php into lib/adminlib.php; fixed includes and some other minor fixes

fixed defaults for backups during installation

Only mysql and postgresql show the UTF-8 migration message.

utf8 migrate support for site with roles active, resolved isstudent legacy problem, implemented $CFG->notloggedinroleid

fixed default values in apply_default_exception_settings(); several values in lib/default.php are wrong, but I guess we do not need to fix them because it as replaced by the new administration framowork ;-)

'prefix' can only be defined in config.php, it can not be changed or stored in database ;-)

Small rework of the main install/upgrade script. Everything should
continue working as before.

basic detection of sites with misconfigured dataroot SC#295

turning on the upgrade in progress check again, added skip warning link

Install/upgrade procedures changed to use $ADMIN instead of defaults.php and config.php.

See http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=52636 for details

Just remove one condition previously checked.

Added support for the new upgrade system for main tables.

fixed tabs, fixed potential notices for undefined variables, added structure that will be used for detecting what variables to flag during installs & upgrades, removed all $_GET usage, switched 'admin' to $CFG->admin (for directory paths), and fixed blank line at end of index.php

Core tables XMLDB installation is now working. Disabled by default
until fully working.

$CFG->xmldb_enabled = true; will enable it for test/dev against any DB

Just tidying up things a bit as I look it over

Admin page cleanup (Google soc 2006)

upgrade logging cleanup, fixes  - more improvements ahead

Now admin includes all the required ddllib stuff

fixed admin page layout

Fix error string

SWEEPING CLEANUP

The API was changed slightly so that has_capability now takes the
whole $context object (we almost always have it anyway)

The $kill thing was removed.   If you want to assert a capability
then use:

    require_capability('capname', $context);

with optional variables to modify the error message

Misc bugs here and there also removed and code tidied

Removed some old calls to isadmin

Modified to support fresh installation of new Roles System.

Removed tabs

Fix up the admin listing a bit

some UI change for roles

ROLES AND PERMISSIONS  - FIRST CHECK-IN
=======================================

WARNING:  DEV IS CURRENTLY VERY UNSTABLE.

This is a mega-checkin of the new Roles system.   A lot of changes have
been made in core and modules.

Currently there are a lot of rough edges and known problems.  We are
working hard on these .. .the reason for getting this into HEAD at this
stage is enable us to move faster (our branch was diverging from HEAD
too much).

Please keep an eye on http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roles for current status
and information for developers on how to use the new Roles system.

Hack to link from the admin interface to the XMLDB editor.

Bug #5352 - upgrade might be interrupted by user - upgrades are now logged into moddata/upgradelogs/, user abor is ignored and concurrent running of upgrades is prevented from one browser

Bug #6075 - file admin/index.php is ISO encoded - headers broken by ob_end_flush(), fixed version check; merged from MOODLE_16_STABLE

Bug 6101 - Automatically scroll to any errors when upgrading the database. JavaScript thanks to Andrew Walker. PHP changes are my fault.

fix for mysqladmin links; merged from MOODLE_16_STABLE

cleanup in admin/index.php; preparation for health center, loginas gui, password salts; merged from MOODLE_16_STABLE

Just a small comment to avoid problems in the future

Fixed the upgrade_plugins function so that it automatically
handles the .sql file for first installation (just like activities)

No agreement to license sends you to docs.moodle.org

FIx license display

agreelicence was not set

FIxed some box sizes, and added hooks for Matt Oquists portfolio stuff

Some fixes for links on admin page, and release notes now a link to Moodle Docs

Slightly fixing some bodgy boxes

At installation time we *always* are going to show release notes
from en_utf8. It's the only lang pack that includes such info
with the upgrade, independently of everything else (unicodedb...).

Now $CFG->unicodedb is sent to DB everytime we arrive to the
admin/index.php script (installation, upgrade...). This will
stop the encoding introspection code present in setup.php

Fixing call to upgrade_plugins since questiontypes moved to question/type

Do the module upgrades before the qtype upgrades

Questiontypes are doing their own database upgrade now.
I modified the enrollment plugin mechanism to work for any type of plugin

Small fix for admin menu layout and also print_table

Slight, temporary fix for one thing caused by new print_simple_box (see bug 4943)

Link to logs now available through reports (SE)

Removed redundant if statement

Tidy cron warning

Fix the cron help to point to the new help page in lang packs

Page finished. Now it's possible to check current and future
moodle versions... PostgreSQL people, check it against your
servers, please.
In 1-2 days I'll merge this changes to 15_STABLE, to allow
moodlers to pre-check their environments...

XHTML fixes for the administration page, plus a couple assorted styles.

Something old needing checking in

Merging language-pack-related updates from Eloy's MOODLE_16_UTF8 branch.

Do not use that branch any more!!

My moodle sticky block config now generic, can be used for any pagetype.
Currently implemented: course-view (and my moodle, of course)

Missing strings for new stats report, new link in admin/index.php for admin reports

MyMoodle: new /my/ page, contains course overview (module based, forum done). User defined blocks on /my/ page, admin defined stickyblocks. Needs lots of testing. Held off bumping version.php for blocks because of the postgres upgrade fixes Patrick is putting in.

Added locallib - hook to provide easier means for local customisations. Currently contains mechanism for having local db upgrades without munging the main CFG->dbtype.php scripts.

Howard, please, please check your code and stop making me do it ...

Fixed typo that prevented upgrade

XHTML compliance, merged from STABLE

require_variable() and optional_variable() replaced with required_param() &
optional_param. Other tweaks to suit.

Removed the quiz upgrade warning. Merged from stable

Merged from stable

Merging in from the MOODLE_15_QUIZREFACTOR branch.
The quiz module now can handle adaptive questions and can render remote questions via RQP web services.

Upgrade activity modules first ... see bug 2630

fixed typo, closing bug 2167

New feature: maintenance mode.

Admin can put a site on hold during an upgrade or theme changing etc

Controlled by a file in dataroot, so it can also be controlled via command line:

    touch moodledata/1/maintenance.html

    rm moodledata/1/maintenance.html

Some cleaning up of configuration interfaces

Update copyright to 2005

Removed $THEME from admin pages

Changed some sesskey behaviours SC#73 (admin part)

Ensure that $CFG->siteidentifier is always defined (32-byte key)

Ported from MOODLE_14_STABLE - Show a warning to admins if cron.php hasn't been run

New "Calendar" section in Admin -> Configuration.
Includes preliminary support for DST!
Includes "admin sees all events or only own?" setting (bug 1972)

WARNING: Modified moodlelib.php to explicitly specify NOT-DST when
calling mktime() and gmmktime(). This is essential since we don't want
PHP to second-guess us for the DST matters, but... it may affect existing
code?

Moodle, backup and block versions updated to 2004041800.
Tested with mysql: Install fresh and upgrade from previous.
section_activities block renamed to social_activities and created
its own lang file to support name "Social Activities". This can
be changed at any time.

TODO:
=====
Support it really in backup/restore.
????

Enjoy!! Ciao :-)

I think this might solve the mysterious problems with
session garbage collection and timeouts not working.

Note: upgrading to this will KILL all current sessions, so
you will need to log back in.

Better checking of admin user stuff

Fixed some copyrights

A proper GUI for filters  :-)

Still needs work, but it works fine now.

Later I want to add config pages for each filter, like modules have.

Don't show scheduled backups menu if they are disabled

Improvements to the way the log upgrading works.

Centralised with an interface now.

Allow modules to define the version of Moodle they require, and
abort their installation if this requirement isn't met.

Use is_internal_auth function instead

Add a link to the upload user script in the admin menus

Turn off time limits on all upgrades

Slight change to make packaging easier on Debian.  :-)

Initial release of the configure backup.
It now uses backup_config instead of config.
Not finished !!

Removed one hard-coded "admin"

Removed typo .php

Doh!   No need to check for short_tags any more.

Don't bother checking for magic quotes any more

Added a link to the PHP info page from the admin page, and cleaned
up the PHP info page a bit by using a frame.

More asjustments to the display of the admin screen

more tweaks to admin menu displays

Add link on admin page about students, for completeness.  In the next
version this link will link to the new enrolment subsystem.

Also reduced font size to make the admin page a bit nicer on small screens.

Trying something different with the admin links ... even I was starting
to get a bit lost occasionally.

Tidy up the copyright notice and added a warning.

More clean ups

Some cleanups of the admin page to make it

  - more explanatory
  - more expandable

Apologies for the lost muscle memories, but I think this
will work better in the long run.

More moodling on the course categories, improving performance for
large categories and making it easier to move large numbers of
courses around.

Also cleaned up some of the navigation bars

Another big checkin.

This includes some significant cleanups to the new course categories
system.  The basic idea is that the categories/course browser is now
unified under one system, and admin features related to that have
all been moved into the browser (as little icons).

I'm much happier with this as a foundation that can scale and be
built upon.

Still to go:

  - searching
  - paging
  - polishing

Also in here are a lot of little cleanups around the place, such as
the initial setup process.

New restore link for admins so they can restore courses ...

Further integration of backup into main Moodle.

The database checks/upgrades are now done on the main
admin page like the other modules.

The database files are now standard format .sql and .php files

PostgreSQL support was added - BUT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED YET!!

Updated backup link (in future perhaps it should link to a generic
page from which backup file management and restores can be done too)

Little modification to show the "Backup Course" option if
backup utility is installed (not shwown else)

Small fix to not throw up error when current path discovered to be empty

Fixed heading on release notes display

Some minor cleanups and debugging of initial setup

Fixed up some of the headers during installation (remove logout links).

Using new ini_get_bool function to work around a bug with ini_get where
the result is different for items set in htaccess

Explicit casting to (bool) may help 4.2.3

Fixed up "Assign teacher" page, and moved it to admin directory.

New feature - registration page.  Registration should be working,
but I'm still working on the server-side stuff.

Look for the new button on the admin page.

New feature to manage installed code modules!

You can now hide/show individual activity modules and even delete them completely!

For example, if you hide the "choice" module, then all choice activities
will be hidden throughout the whole site, and "Choice" will not
appear on any "Add..." menu.

Deleting a module is a complete deletion of all data from the database.

If you want to try out the deletion on a real module, I suggest the
pgassignment module, since it will soon be deleted from CVS anyway
(because it's being replaced with workshop).

Look for "Manage modules" on the admin menu.

Cleaned up the initial setup process.  It looks a bit smoother now.

Hopefully this is also the end of the occasional errors we keep
hearing about to do with never getting to setup the admin user.
(I think admin/site.php had a redirect that didn't always work).

The setup process is now much better at "trapping" you until it's all done.

Show adduser only when adding new user from moodle is posible.

Don't use session.path check when the server is in safe mode

Added support for nonadmin course creation.
Course creators are managed by /admin/creator.php , same way that admins.
Or if authetication module have 'auth_iscreator'-function (right now only ldap-module have) ,
users are added to creators at login time.

Added some checks for PHP server variables - warnings are printed that
prevent installation until these are fixed.

Better notification and continue button is more useful

Add slashes when printing correct Windows path to problems with backslashes

More checks to solve support requests before they happen.

Put in a check for the sessions directory

More robust when dealing with a plugin module that isn't readable

Link from admin page to docs

Clean sweep through all the important changing all include(), include_once()
and require() to require_once()

Fixes to use new mysql module with frame

Fixed display of headers while updating modules

Various little fixes to remove warnings (usually about empty variables)
when error_reporting is turned up to 15 or so ... more of these to come ...

No need for forcetables hack any more.  Moodle can now detect whether
it has already been installed in the current database (by looking
for all the main tables) and do the right thing.  It doesn't matter now
if there are other tables in the database or not.

This version installs smoothly for me on PostgreSQL

Many many changes lumped in here ... not finished yet either.

Basically all the Database functions are in lib/datalib.php
and the web functions are all in lib/weblib.php, so
moodlelib.php is much thinner than it was.

Data functions have been extended ... most old calls will
still work, but now many more SQL commands can be performed
using the datalib functions rather than using SQL.  I'm
currently moving through the whole tree replacing SQL
calls or at least concentrating them in one section of
mod/xxx/lib.php

Still working on forums, quizzes, surveys, resources.

The tree is currently not full working ... some things are
half-completed ... will resume tomorrow.

Turn off time limits with big SQL commands ... some databases are really slow.

Don't even attempt to install the template module

Modifications from Greg Barnett at Crown College to add more admins.

See http://bugs.moodle.org/bug.php?op=show&bugid=202

A significant new system for authentication configuration that
exposes the wide array of authentication possibilities.

Authentication now has it's own page separate from other variables.

Most of this work was done by Petri Asikainen <paca@sci.fi>, who started
these changes off.

I've done some cleanups and additions which is why I'm checking it in.

It's all working pretty well at the moment but could use some testing.

Thanks, Petri!  :-)

One more thing - I' moved the RELEASE.html into the other documentation
to make it easier to find later on.

Changes to improve usability when the admin folder has been renamed,
and also a change in checking for the admin user, just in case an
old session is hanging around

Changed name of upgrade_moodle function to main_upgrade (for consistency)

Additions to cope with richtext editor being used in some forms.

Moved module upgrading functions out into database-specific files

Moved upgrade_moodle functions out to database-specific files, because
the SQL is not compatible (nor is it possible to make it so).

Tweaks to page titles to make them more consistent

Fixed a little link to login page

Put version info on admin page

Nicer way to find out the major changes since the last version.

RELEASES.html shows the changes, and these are displayed during
an upgrade.

After upgrading version, stay on admin page rather than going to home
page, just in case there is more to do.

Most of the configuration variables have been moved out of the config.php
file and into a database, where they can be edited using a new admin form
called "Configure variables".

Categories upgrade.  Admin can now create/edit/delete categories, and
these are diesplayed wherever courses are listed

Add a link if a "manage database" directory exists

Added a new $release variable that shows the user-friendly version number

Added a new administration page that can check the current language
pack against the English language pack.  It prints any missing strings
or files.  This should help language pack developers.

Tweaks to creation of user account while searching for the login
problem some people are having ...

Changes related to new way of setting and recalling themes.

The CFG->theme variable is now obsolete in config.php - use the
admin page to set themes interactively.

Added a GPL license agreement as the very first step.
