Known problems and regressions​

  • MDL-19266 - Forum posts containing links are not sent on a PHP4 system (fixed in weekly build of 27th May)
  • MDL-19288 - Context and module information caching regressions on large sites. It was reported that it may cause all sorts of bad things to happen. (fixed in weekly build of 27th May)

Changes in Moodle API​

  • MDL-18066: The import_backup_file_silently() has been modified, so it doesn't provide automatic administrator credentials anymore. The (custom) caller functions have the responsibility of doing that. This change only affects to 3rd party code using the function, core doesn't use it at all.
