Moodle 2.0 Updates Admin Databases

What’s new in
Moodle 2.0

1. SYSTEM REQUIRMENTS

Moodle 2.0 is a major release and as a
result there are increases in the
requirements
• PHP 5.2.8 is now the maximum
version supported. This allows
developers to write cleaner code
using the more recent features of PHP.

When upgrading to Moodle 2.0 you
must have Moodle 1.9 or later.
If you are using an earlier version of
Moodle you need to upgrade to Moodle
1.9 (or later) first

2. ADMINISTRATIVE IMPROVEMENTS

1) Enrolments improvements including groups synchronization several major improvements related to guest access, course enrolments, metacourses and groups
2) Roles administration interface improvements

3) Standard Web Services Layer Standard set of core API functions made available via SOAP and XML-RPC
4) Development: Site-wide groups
5) Admin report plugins can choose where in the admin
tree they are added

3. DATABASE CONTROL

DB LAYER 2.0
Database access is to be refactored
so that, “we can use prepared
statements everywhere for increased
security and some performance,
we put datalib functions in a class to
allow better unit tests and remove
the need for slashes in userspace.
This will cause breakage for 3rd
party modules (but fixing them won’t
be too hard!)”

ANCIENT DB INSTALL /
UPGRADE SYSTEM REMOVED
The deprecated system for installing
or upgrading database entire used
in Moodle < 1.7 will be completely
removed, while supporting only the
new XML based database scheme
introduced in 1.7
