Release Evergreen (27th October 2017):
Key: + Evergreen only
Important:
TL-16017 Issues from Moodle 3.2.5 have been included
TL-16313 Release packages are now provided through https://subscriptions.totara.community/
Release packages are no longer being provided through FetchApp, and can now
be accessed through our new Subscription system at
https://subscriptions.totara.community/.
If you experience any problems accessing packages through this system
please open a support request and let us know.
Please note that SHA1 checksums for previous Evergreen releases will be
different from those provided in the changelog notes at the time of
release.
The reason for this is that we changed the name of the root directory
within the package archives to ensure it is consistent across all products.
Security issues:
TL-12466 Corrected access restrictions on 360° Feedback files
Previously, users may have been able to access 360° Feedback files when
they did not have access to the corresponding 360° Feedback itself. This
will have included users who were not logged in. To do this, the user would
have needed to correctly guess the URL for the file. The access
restrictions on these files have now been fixed.
Performance improvement:
TL-16061 Fixed a problem where duplicating a module caused the course cache to be rebuilt twice
TL-16161 Reduced load times for the course and category management page when using audience visibility

TL-11296 Added accessible text when creating/editing profile fields and categories
TL-12650 Removed HTML table when viewing the print book page
TL-14936 Added a report setting to control the minimum allowed time for scheduled reports
TL-15835 Made some minor improvements to program and certification completion editors
Changes included:
* Improved formatting of date strings in the transaction interface and
logs.
* Fixed some inaccurate error messages when faults might occur.
* The program completion editor will now correctly default to the
"invalid" state when there is a problem with the record.
TL-15871 + Force users to complete required user profile fields upon login
The users will be forced during the login to complete any user profile
fields that have been set as required and have not yet been completed for
that user.
TL-15913 Greatly improved the display of the progress bar component and improved the quality of the CSS
TL-16007 + Converted warning messages in HR Import to use the notification API
TL-16069 Improved alignment of question bank table headings

TL-16206 Added validation in HR Import to check job assignment useridnumber matches a user idnumber when importing data
TL-16212 Fixed issue where self completion from within a certificate activity may complete a different activity
TL-16215 Role assignments granted through the enrol_cohort plugin are now deleted if the plugin is disabled
Previously when the cohort enrolment plugin instance was disabled, the
roles for the affected users were not deleted from the {{role_assignments
table}} even though the log messages seemed to indicate this was the case.
This has been corrected with this patch.
Note the deletion behavior has always been correct in the original code
when the cohort enrolment plugin itself was disabled, However, it needs the
cohort enrolment task to be run first (every hour by default) to physically
delete the records from the table.
TL-16223 Fixed a typo in the "cancellationcutoff" session variable
TL-16224 Prevented orphaned program exceptions from occurring
It was possible for program and certification exceptions to become orphaned
- no exception showed in the "Exception report" tab, but users were
treated as having an exception and were being prevented from progressing.
The cause of this problem has now been fixed. After upgrade, use the
program and certification completion checkers to identify any records in
this state and fix them using one of the two available automated fixes
(which were added in TL-15891, in the previous release of Totara).
TL-16238 Fixed warnings when running HR Import with Organisation and Position sources
If "Source contains all records" was set to yes and the deleted columns was
included in the uploaded CSV file then warnings would be shown if debugging
was enabled. This did not effect the functionality and HR Import still
finished successfully when this occurred.
TL-16242 Scorm loading placeholders are now displayed correctly in RTL languages
TL-16248 Added an is_array condition for json_decode alt string in the pix_icon class
TL-16250 Replaced an incorrect usage of the pix_icon template
TL-16254 Fixed automated course backup not taking audience-based visibility into account
TL-16258 Fixed uniqueness checks for certification completion history
Certification completion history records should always be a unique
combination of user, certification, expiry date and completion date.
Completion import adhered to this rule, however the process of copying a
certification completion to history when the certification window opened
did not take the completion date into account. This led to overwriting of
the completion date if a history record had a matching expiry date but
different completion date. This could also lead to errors during the Update
certifications scheduled task.
The correct uniqueness rule has been applied consistently to prevent the
above behaviour.
TL-16261 Added missing link to specialised customfield less within the Roots theme
TL-16267 Fixed permissions error when accessing SCORM activities as a guest
TL-16274 Fixed an issue when updating user Forum preferences when user's username contains uppercase characters
TL-16279 Added additional checks when displaying and validating self completion from within an activity
TL-16288 Checkbox and radio options lists no longer have bold input labels
TL-16289 Fixed course completion editor link requiring incorrect capability
The link no longer requires the 'moodle/course:update' capability. It now
only requires the 'totara/completioneditor:editcoursecompletion'
capability.
TL-16291 Fixed course progress display for courses with disabled completion tracking
TL-16292 Fixed saving of seminar custom fields for all users
TL-16301 Fixed calendar filtering on seminar room fields
