This files describes API changes in /availability/*.
The information here is intended only for developers.
=== 4.0 ===
* Method render_core_availability_multiple_messages() is deprecated. Please use core_availability\\output\\multiple_messages
The new rendereable will produce output with a 'more' link when there is lots of availability information.
* There were existing restrictions on what condition plugins can do in the get_description
method (for example they mustn't call format_string), which were not well documented.
New functions description_cm_name(), description_format_string(), description_callback()
can be used so that condition plugins to behave correctly in all situations.
=== 3.2 ===
* Condition plugins must replace the CSS selector "#fitem_id_availabilityconditionsjson" with ".availability-field".
This selector is often used in your plugin's yui/src/form/js/form.js file.
=== 2.9 ===
* Condition plugins can now implement a new include_after_restore function to
indicate that they should be removed during the restore process. (This is
implemented so that group and grouping conditions are removed if groups are
not restored.)
=== 2.8 ===
* There is a new API function in the info_module/info_section objects (and
related functions in internal API): get_user_list_sql. This returns SQL code
that does roughly the same as filter_user_list to return a list of users who
should be shown as having access to the module or section.
* Any third-party availability plugins which return true to
is_applied_to_user_lists (and therefore previously implemented
filter_user_list) should now also implement get_user_list_sql. If not
implemented, a debugging warning will occur when anybody calls
get_user_list_sql if the affected plugin is in use, and that user list will
not be filtered by the plugin.
