Release 2.9.44 (19th June 2019):



Security issues:

    TL-21071       MDL-64708: Removed an open redirect within the audience upload form
    TL-21243       Added sesskey checks to prevent CSRF in several Learning Plan dialogs

Release 9.33 (19th June 2019):



Security issues:

    TL-21071       MDL-64708: Removed an open redirect within the audience upload form
    TL-21243       Added sesskey checks to prevent CSRF in several Learning Plan dialogs

Bug fixes:

    TL-21175       Added the ability to fix out of order competency scale values

                   Previously when a competency scale was assigned to a framework, and users
                   had achieved values from that scale, it was not possible to correct any
                   ordering issues involving proficient values being below non-proficient
                   values.
                   
                   Warnings are now shown when proficient values are out of order, and it is
                   possible to change the proficiency settings of these scales to correct this
                   situation.


Release 10.22 (19th June 2019):



Security issues:

    TL-21071       MDL-64708: Removed an open redirect within the audience upload form
    TL-21243       Added sesskey checks to prevent CSRF in several Learning Plan dialogs

Bug fixes:

    TL-20034       Added a new scheduled task to purge orphaned course completion records

                   On large course datasets it was possible for a background cron job to start
                   running before an interactive course delete action had completed. This
                   could result in data integrity issues, e.g. the system having course
                   completion data for a course that no longer exists. A scheduled task has
                   been added to clean up any orphaned course completion data that might
                   exist, by default this task will run once a day at 1:54 am.

    TL-20925       Fixed a PHP warning that was encountered when redirecting with a message before the session had been started
    TL-21175       Added the ability to fix out of order competency scale values

                   Previously when a competency scale was assigned to a framework, and users
                   had achieved values from that scale, it was not possible to correct any
                   ordering issues involving proficient values being below non-proficient
                   values.
                   
                   Warnings are now shown when proficient values are out of order, and it is
                   possible to change the proficiency settings of these scales to correct this
                   situation.

    TL-21242       Fixed a bug preventing the modification of job assignments if the assignment name contained a space

Release 11.16 (19th June 2019):



Important:

    TL-21080       Prevented automatic completion of appraisal stages without any populated roles

                   Before this patch, completion of an appraisal stage could lead to automatic
                   completion of the following stage if that contained only unpopulated
                   appraisal roles.
                    With this patch automatic completion of subsequent stages only happens
                   when all populated roles have completed the stage and at least one role
                   (populated or not) has completed the stage.
                    This fixes a change in behaviour introduced in TL-19824.
                   
                   This patch does not change affected appraisals on upgrade. For affected
                   appraisals, completed stages can be manually reset using the stage editing
                   tool in the appraisal administration's "assignments" tab.


Security issues:

    TL-21071       MDL-64708: Removed an open redirect within the audience upload form
    TL-21243       Added sesskey checks to prevent CSRF in several Learning Plan dialogs

Performance improvements:

    TL-20772       Optimised SQL base query to include userid in the rb_source_dp_course report source

                   To improve report performance, if userid is supplied to the report page of
                   the "Record of Learning: Courses" report source, it is now included in the
                   base SQL query.

                   Please note that the "Record of Learning: Courses" report source no longer
                   supports caching.

Improvements:

    TL-20512       Improved the accessibility of the seminar take attendance form

                   Attached a human-readable aria-label text to form elements.

    TL-20575       Added an event for Program and Certification user completion state change via the completion editor

                   An event will now log the old and new completion state when changed for a
                   user using the completion editor for a Program or Certification together
                   with the user who made the change


Bug fixes:

    TL-20034       Added a new scheduled task to purge orphaned course completion records

                   On large course datasets it was possible for a background cron job to start
                   running before an interactive course delete action had completed. This
                   could result in data integrity issues, e.g. the system having course
                   completion data for a course that no longer exists. A scheduled task has
                   been added to clean up any orphaned course completion data that might
                   exist, by default this task will run once a day at 1:54 am.

    TL-20716       Seminar session date time columns within report builder sources are now accurately described

                   Language strings used to describe the session start and finish date/time
                   columns within seminar report sources have been improved.

    TL-20885       Ensured email address validation within HR Import is used when the 'Allow duplicate emails' setting is enabled

                   Prior to this patch, if 'Allow duplicate emails' was set, email address
                   validation was inadvertently being ignored, making it possible for an
                   invalid email address to be set for imported users.
                   
                   This patch ensures the email address is validated correctly, but cannot fix
                   any existing invalid email addresses. If you have been using this setting,
                   it is recommended to manually check any imported user email addresses.

    TL-20925       Fixed a PHP warning that was encountered when redirecting with a message before the session had been started
    TL-20927       Fixed the alignment of the name column within the grader report when the browser is zoomed
    TL-21099       The menu of choices custom field filter in report builder now correctly handles "Any value"
    TL-21175       Added the ability to fix out of order competency scale values

                   Previously when a competency scale was assigned to a framework, and users
                   had achieved values from that scale, it was not possible to correct any
                   ordering issues involving proficient values being below non-proficient
                   values.
                   
                   Warnings are now shown when proficient values are out of order, and it is
                   possible to change the proficiency settings of these scales to correct this
                   situation.

    TL-21181       Fixed an HR Import Hierarchy circular reference sanity check timeout issue when assigning parents
    TL-21183       Fixed non-escaped characters being used in an SQL like statement during message provider upgrade

                   Prior to this patch, if a developer created a customisation that renamed or
                   deleted a message provider in a plugin, and the key of another message
                   provider in the same plugin began with the same key being removed, then,
                   during upgrade, the default message preference for the other message
                   provider was being deleted. This could have led to an exception when
                   messages based on the other message provider were being sent. Now, only the
                   correct record is being deleted.

    TL-21189       Made the user 'full name link' report builder column take active enrolment into account

                   Prior to this patch, when a user was no longer enrolled in a course, but
                   the records were still stored within the course, report builder would
                   include the course ID in the user's full name link. Unfortunately, if the
                   link was clicked, a fatal error would be produced as the user was no longer
                   enrolled in the course.
                   
                   With this patch, if the viewer is not able to view a user's profile within
                   the course, then there will be no link produced for that user's full name
                   in reports.

    TL-21208       Deleting report builder columns used by disabled graphs is no longer prevented

                   Before this change, if a column was used in a graph then, even if the graph
                   was later disabled, the column could not be deleted until it had been
                   removed from the graph. This resulted in having to re-activate the graph
                   just to remove the column from the data source field.
                   
                   This change has updated the check to determine whether the affected graph
                   is enabled, only preventing deletion of the column when it is.

    TL-21239       Fixed a bug within Atto editor where text alignment could not be changed within IE11 or Edge

                   Previously the alignment of text within the Atto editor would fail to
                   change alignment in IE11 or Edge, if the text had already been aligned by
                   another user in a different browser (such as Firefox or Chrome).
                   This has now been fixed so that IE11 and Edge users can change the
                   alignment of text previously aligned in Firefox or Chrome.

    TL-21242       Fixed a bug preventing the modification of job assignments if the assignment name contained a space

                   supports caching.

Improvements:

    TL-20512       Improved the accessibility of the seminar take attendance form

                   Attached a human-readable aria-label text to form elements.

    TL-20575       Added an event for Program and Certification user completion state change via the completion editor

                   An event will now log the old and new completion state when changed for a
                   user using the completion editor for a Program or Certification together
                   with the user who made the change


Bug fixes:

    TL-20034       Added a new scheduled task to purge orphaned course completion records

                   On large course datasets it was possible for a background cron job to start
                   running before an interactive course delete action had completed. This
                   could result in data integrity issues, e.g. the system having course
                   completion data for a course that no longer exists. A scheduled task has
                   been added to clean up any orphaned course completion data that might
                   exist, by default this task will run once a day at 1:54 am.

    TL-20533       Changed the seminar 'Allow Manager reservations' functionality to allow suspended users to be enrolled into seminar events
    TL-20716       Seminar session date time columns within report builder sources are now accurately described

                   Language strings used to describe the session start and finish date/time
                   columns within seminar report sources have been improved.

    TL-20885       Ensured email address validation within HR Import is used when the 'Allow duplicate emails' setting is enabled

                   validation was inadvertently being ignored, making it possible for an

    TL-20925       Fixed a PHP warning that was encountered when redirecting with a message before the session had been started
    TL-20927       Fixed the alignment of the name column within the grader report when the browser is zoomed
    TL-21054       Fixed alias name preventing seminar sessions report from correctly applying content filters

                   A bug has been fixed in the seminar sessions report builder source that was
                   causing a system error when trying to join content filters.

    TL-21069       Fixed duplicate 'Event under minimum bookings' notifications after mod_facetoface upgrade

                   The seminar notification for events that do not achieve a minimum number of
                   bookings was implemented in a way that caused it to be sent again (and
                   again) for past seminar events whenever mod_facetoface was upgraded.
                   
                   The 'Event under minimum bookings' notification has been reimplemented as a
                   real seminar notification, with an editable template and the ability to
                   customise it at the activity level. This means outgoing instances of this
                   notification will be tracked to prevent duplicates.
                   
                   Any seminar events that have not started yet, and that are eligible to
                   receive an 'Event under minimum bookings' notification, may receive one
                   final duplicate notification after upgrade to this release.

    TL-21090       The "Booked by" column within the seminar sign-in sheet report source no longer produces a fatal error
    TL-21096       Fixed incorrect classname checks in set_totara_menu_selected()
    TL-21099       The menu of choices custom field filter in report builder now correctly handles "Any value"
    TL-21175       Added the ability to fix out of order competency scale values

                   Previously when a competency scale was assigned to a framework, and users
                   had achieved values from that scale, it was not possible to correct any
                   ordering issues involving proficient values being below non-proficient
                   values.
                   
                   Warnings are now shown when proficient values are out of order, and it is
                   possible to change the proficiency settings of these scales to correct this
                   situation.

    TL-21181       Fixed an HR Import Hierarchy circular reference sanity check timeout issue when assigning parents
    TL-21183       Fixed non-escaped characters being used in an SQL like statement during message provider upgrade

                   Prior to this patch, if a developer created a customisation that renamed or
                   deleted a message provider in a plugin, and the key of another message

                   provider was being deleted. This could have led to an exception when
                   messages based on the other message provider were being sent. Now, only the
                   correct record is being deleted.

    TL-21184       Fixed the display of the feedback activity long text answer text box
    TL-21189       Made the user 'full name link' report builder column take active enrolment into account

                   Prior to this patch, when a user was no longer enrolled in a course, but
                   the records were still stored within the course, report builder would
                   include the course ID in the user's full name link. Unfortunately, if the
                   link was clicked, a fatal error would be produced as the user was no longer
                   enrolled in the course.
                   
                   With this patch, if the viewer is not able to view a user's profile within
                   the course, then there will be no link produced for that user's full name
                   in reports.

    TL-21208       Deleting report builder columns used by disabled graphs is no longer prevented

                   Before this change, if a column was used in a graph then, even if the graph
                   was later disabled, the column could not be deleted until it had been
                   removed from the graph. This resulted in having to re-activate the graph
                   just to remove the column from the data source field.
                   
                   This change has updated the check to determine whether the affected graph
                   is enabled, only preventing deletion of the column when it is.

    TL-21223       The audience name report builder column no longer outputs HTML when exporting to another format

                   Previously the audience name column would always export an HTML link, even
                   when exporting to CSV or Excel.
                   This has been fixed so that the HTML link is only output when producing the
                   report for the web.

    TL-21238       Added validation of seminar signup state classes to ensure that only valid classes are used

                   Seminar signup state transitions rely on the correct PHP classes being
                   loaded at runtime. A validation routine has been added to ensure that unit
                   tests will fail, and developers will receive debugging messages, if a
                   non-existent state class is used in seminar code.

    TL-21239       Fixed a bug within Atto editor where text alignment could not be changed within IE11 or Edge

                   Previously the alignment of text within the Atto editor would fail to
                   change alignment in IE11 or Edge, if the text had already been aligned by
                   another user in a different browser (such as Firefox or Chrome).
                   This has now been fixed so that IE11 and Edge users can change the

Release Evergreen (19th June 2019):


Key:           + Evergreen only

Important:

    TL-21080       Prevented automatic completion of appraisal stages without any populated roles

                   Before this patch, completion of an appraisal stage could lead to automatic
                   completion of the following stage if that contained only unpopulated
                   appraisal roles.
                    With this patch automatic completion of subsequent stages only happens
                   when all populated roles have completed the stage and at least one role
                   (populated or not) has completed the stage.
                    This fixes a change in behaviour introduced in TL-19824.
                   
                   This patch does not change affected appraisals on upgrade. For affected
                   appraisals, completed stages can be manually reset using the stage editing
                   tool in the appraisal administration's "assignments" tab.


Security issues:

    TL-21071       MDL-64708: Removed an open redirect within the audience upload form
    TL-21243       Added sesskey checks to prevent CSRF in several Learning Plan dialogs

New features:

    TL-18605   +   New framework for Web APIs based on GraphQL and new Ajax API
    TL-20421   +   Seminar event attendance and grades can now be imported via CSV

                   With this feature, accessible from the seminar event 'Take attendance'
                   page, trainers are able to upload a CSV file with attendance information
                   for each event attendee. If event manual grading is enabled, the CSV file
                   may also include grades.

API changes:

    TL-14412   +   Deprecated custom notification handling

                   The following functions have been deprecated as part of this:
                   * Function: totara_get_notifications() (alternative method:
                   \core\notification::fetch())
                   * Function: Function: totara_set_notification() (alternative: redirect or
                   \core\notification::*())
                   * Function: totara_convert_notification_to_legacy_array() (no alternative)
                   * Function: totara_queue_append() (no alternative)
                   * Function: totara_queue_shift() (no alternative)
                   * Method: \core\notification::add_totara_legacy() (no alternative)

    TL-20362   +   Converted M.totara_plan_course_find from a YUI module to an AMD module
    TL-20363   +   Converted M.totara_plan_program_find from a YUI module to an AMD module
    TL-20364   +   Converted M.totara_plan_competency_find from a YUI module to an AMD module
    TL-20749   +   New "ttr_tablename" syntax is allowed in SQL queries in addition to current {tablename}

                   As well as using
                   
                   {tablename}
                   
                   in an SQL query it is now also possible to use "ttr_tablename".
                    This enables SQL queries to be written that can be processed by code
                   parsers and IDEs.
                    Developers may want to consider using ttr_ as your default database prefix
                   from now on.

    TL-20765   +   Added a new SQL class to improve handling of raw SQL in DML API
    TL-20819   +   Added a new interface for placeholder objects used within get_string() calls

                   Developers can now pass objects which implement core_string_placeholders
                   to the third parameter of get_string. The replace function which these
                   objects provide will be used to perform string placeholder substitution.
                   This allows more powerful and complex placeholder systems to be
                   implemented, in a consistent and reusable way. All values which could
                   previously be passed as the third parameter of get_string are still
                   supported.

    TL-20864   +   Upgraded jQuery to 3.4.1

                   jQuery changelog can be found at
                   https://blog.jquery.com/2019/04/10/jquery-3-4-0-released/

    TL-21024   +   Added support for enforced foreign key consistency

                   Onupdate and ondelete referential integrity actions can now be added to
                   foreign key relations.
                   By default foreign keys are not enforced in any way.
                   During definition of a foreign key using the XMLDB editor you can now
                   choose to enforce referential integrity through set actions.
                   The following actions are available:
                   * 'restrict' blocks violation of foreign keys
                   * 'cascade' propagates deletes
                   * 'setnull' changes value to NULL

    TL-21040   +   Converted report_loglive YUI module to AMD module

                   This removes the original YUI module

    TL-21176   +   Upgraded chart.js library to version 2.8.0
    TL-21177   +   Added 'core/popover:destroy' event to the popover component

Performance improvements:

    TL-20772       Optimised SQL base query to include userid in the rb_source_dp_course report source

                   To improve report performance, if userid is supplied to the report page of
                   the "Record of Learning: Courses" report source, it is now included in the
                   base SQL query.
                   
                    As a side effect, this patch also improves aggregation support for
                   the "Record of Learning: Courses" report source. 
                   
                   Previously this report source contained several required columns in order
                   to ensure user visibility was correctly applied. These required columns led
                   to aggregation within the report not working. Thanks to improvements made
                   in Totara 12 this could be refactored so that the required columns are no
                   longer necessary. Visibility is still calculated accurately and aggregation
                   is now working for this report source.

                   Please note that the "Record of Learning: Courses" report source no longer
                   supports caching.

Improvements:

    TL-5660    +   Uploading completion records no longer creates evidence for unrecognised records by default

                   Previously, when uploading course or certification completion data using a
                   CSV file, an evidence record would be created for any row in the file that
                   did not match up exactly with an existing course or certification. The
                   default was to create generic evidence, but other 'Default evidence types'
                   were selectable.
                   
                   The new default 'Default evidence type' setting is 'Do not create
                   evidence'. This will cause unmatched rows to be marked as errors instead of
                   being used to create evidence records.
                   
                   To recreate the old behaviour, set 'Create generic evidence' as the
                   'Default evidence type' for the import.

    TL-20422   +   Moved seminar event and session details to a separate tab

                   Details of a seminar event and its associated sessions, including room and
                   asset information, has been shown to trainers at the top of each seminar
                   management tab ('Attendees', 'Cancellations', 'Take attendance', et
                   cetera). This information was the same from tab to tab, and pushed unique
                   information and functionality down the page.
                   
                   Seminar event and session information has been moved to its own tab, 'Event
                   details', and removed from all other seminar management tabs. 

    TL-20423   +   Replaced seminar 'Go back' links with 'View all events' buttons

                   In order to simplify seminar management and improve usability for trainers,
                   the 'Go back' links at the bottom of all seminar management screens have
                   been replaced with buttons that read 'View all events'.

    TL-20476   +   Created new seminar setting 'Passing grade' and added 'Require passing grade' seminar activity completion option

                   Seminar activity completion options have been enhanced to bring seminar in
                   line with other Totara activities like assignment and quiz. Previously,
                   seminar only had a 'Learner must receive a grade to complete this
                   activity' option. This has been replaced by a 'Require grade' option with
                   two choices: 'Yes, any grade' and 'Yes, passing grade'.
                   
                   If 'Yes, passing grade' is chosen, a passing grade must be set for the
                   seminar. The default passing grade can be set globally. Setting the passing
                   grade higher than 0 enables the use of pass/fail marks on the activity
                   completion report.
                   
                   In order to provide backward compatibility with previous seminar activity
                   completion options, the upgrade will set 'Require grade' to 'Yes, any
                   grade' and 'Passing grade' to '0' on any seminar where 'Learner must
                   receive a grade to complete this activity' is enabled. This has the effect
                   of exactly reproducing the previous behaviour.
                   
                   In addition, this patch has fixed two other minor issues:
                    * the facetoface_signups_status.createdby database field was not being
                   updated when taking attendance
                    * archived sign-up data entries were not being excluded from the
                   computation of a seminar grade

    TL-20512       Improved the accessibility of the seminar take attendance form

                   Attached a human-readable aria-label text to form elements.
                   
                   Removed hidden, non-human readable label from event attendance dropdown
                   box.

    TL-20546   +   Added 'Event grade' column to 'Seminar Signup' report source
    TL-20575       Added an event for Program and Certification user completion state change via the completion editor

                   An event will now log the old and new completion state when changed for a
                   user using the completion editor for a Program or Certification together
                   with the user who made the change

    TL-20891   +   Improved the consistency of sanitisation for the user identity fields
    TL-20892   +   Improved layout of OAuth2 service providers on the login page
    TL-20918   +   Implemented new DML function set_fields and set_fields_select to update multiple fields in a table
    TL-21036   +   Implemented a CSV for spreadsheets export for Report Builder

                   This new CSV export format is designed for use with spreadsheets.
                   
                   It produces a CSV file that is close to RFC4180 but that has an escape
                   character in front of any data that may be interpreted by the spreadsheet
                   application.
                   
                   We recommend that users use this export format if they have to export to
                   CSV but intend to open the .csv file in a spreadsheet application as it
                   protects them against CSV injection attacks.
                   
                   This export format is not enabled by default. Those wanting to use it must
                   enable it within the "Export Options" setting for Report Builder.

    TL-21115   +   Added new database settings for encryption of database communication

                   Full details on how to configure SSL communication with your database can
                   be found in config-dist.php after upgrade.

    TL-21155   +   Seminar session attendance tracking is now off by default

Bug fixes:

    TL-16324   +   Fixed global search navigation when Solr is enabled and configured

                   Prior to this patch the "Manage global search" page would only be shown in
                   the site administration structure when you were on certain pages.
                   It is now shown consistently when intended.

    TL-20034       Added a new scheduled task to purge orphaned course completion records

                   On large course datasets it was possible for a background cron job to start
                   running before an interactive course delete action had completed. This
                   could result in data integrity issues, e.g. the system having course
                   completion data for a course that no longer exists. A scheduled task has
                   been added to clean up any orphaned course completion data that might
                   exist, by default this task will run once a day at 1:54 am.

    TL-20327   +   Fixed race condition when totara dialogs are not initialised when adding components to a learning plan
    TL-20533       Changed the seminar 'Allow Manager reservations' functionality to allow suspended users to be enrolled into seminar events
    TL-20716       Seminar session date time columns within report builder sources are now accurately described

                   Language strings used to describe the session start and finish date/time
                   columns within seminar report sources have been improved.

    TL-20804   +   Seminar 'Add users' step 2 now respects the showuseridentify config setting

                   Previously, user full name, email address,  username and ID number were
                   displayed in step 2 of the 'Add user' workflow without respecting the
                   'showuseridentity' config setting. Now ID number and username are no longer
                   shown, and display of email address respects the "showuseridentity" config
                   setting.

    TL-20885       Ensured email address validation within HR Import is used when the 'Allow duplicate emails' setting is enabled

                   Prior to this patch, if 'Allow duplicate emails' was set, email address
                   validation was inadvertently being ignored, making it possible for an
                   invalid email address to be set for imported users.
                   
                   This patch ensures the email address is validated correctly, but cannot fix
                   any existing invalid email addresses. If you have been using this setting,
                   it is recommended to manually check any imported user email addresses.

    TL-20925       Fixed a PHP warning that was encountered when redirecting with a message before the session had been started
    TL-20927       Fixed the alignment of the name column within the grader report when the browser is zoomed
    TL-20987   +   Fixed double encoding of user identity fields in the history grader report

                   Any customisations made using the /grade/report/history/users_ajax.php file
                   should check the output of user identity fields after upgrade to ensure
                   proper sanitisation is happening on output.

    TL-21054       Fixed alias name preventing seminar sessions report from correctly applying content filters

                   A bug has been fixed in the seminar sessions report builder source that was
                   causing a system error when trying to join content filters.

    TL-21069       Fixed duplicate 'Event under minimum bookings' notifications after mod_facetoface upgrade

                   The seminar notification for events that do not achieve a minimum number of
                   bookings was implemented in a way that caused it to be sent again (and
                   again) for past seminar events whenever mod_facetoface was upgraded.
                   
                   The 'Event under minimum bookings' notification has been reimplemented as a
                   real seminar notification, with an editable template and the ability to
                   customise it at the activity level. This means outgoing instances of this
                   notification will be tracked to prevent duplicates.
                   
                   Any seminar events that have not started yet, and that are eligible to
                   receive an 'Event under minimum bookings' notification, may receive one
                   final duplicate notification after upgrade to this release.

    TL-21090       The "Booked by" column within the seminar sign-in sheet report source no longer produces a fatal error
    TL-21096       Fixed incorrect classname checks in set_totara_menu_selected()
    TL-21099       The menu of choices custom field filter in report builder now correctly handles "Any value"
    TL-21117   +   Fixed a bug that generated the wrong page URL for seminar session 'Take attendance' page
    TL-21175       Added the ability to fix out of order competency scale values

                   Previously when a competency scale was assigned to a framework, and users
                   had achieved values from that scale, it was not possible to correct any
                   ordering issues involving proficient values being below non-proficient
                   values.
                   
                   Warnings are now shown when proficient values are out of order, and it is
                   possible to change the proficiency settings of these scales to correct this
                   situation.

    TL-21181       Fixed an HR Import Hierarchy circular reference sanity check timeout issue when assigning parents
    TL-21183       Fixed non-escaped characters being used in an SQL like statement during message provider upgrade

                   Prior to this patch, if a developer created a customisation that renamed or
                   deleted a message provider in a plugin, and the key of another message
                   provider in the same plugin began with the same key being removed, then,
                   during upgrade, the default message preference for the other message
                   provider was being deleted. This could have led to an exception when
                   messages based on the other message provider were being sent. Now, only the
                   correct record is being deleted.

    TL-21184       Fixed the display of the feedback activity long text answer text box
    TL-21189       Made the user 'full name link' report builder column take active enrolment into account

                   Prior to this patch, when a user was no longer enrolled in a course, but
                   the records were still stored within the course, report builder would
                   include the course ID in the user's full name link. Unfortunately, if the
                   link was clicked, a fatal error would be produced as the user was no longer
                   enrolled in the course.
                   
                   With this patch, if the viewer is not able to view a user's profile within
                   the course, then there will be no link produced for that user's full name
                   in reports.

    TL-21208       Deleting report builder columns used by disabled graphs is no longer prevented

                   Before this change, if a column was used in a graph then, even if the graph
                   was later disabled, the column could not be deleted until it had been
                   removed from the graph. This resulted in having to re-activate the graph
                   just to remove the column from the data source field.
                   
                   This change has updated the check to determine whether the affected graph
                   is enabled, only preventing deletion of the column when it is.

    TL-21223       The audience name report builder column no longer outputs HTML when exporting to another format

                   Previously the audience name column would always export an HTML link, even
                   when exporting to CSV or Excel.
                   This has been fixed so that the HTML link is only output when producing the
                   report for the web.

    TL-21238       Added validation of seminar signup state classes to ensure that only valid classes are used

                   Seminar signup state transitions rely on the correct PHP classes being
                   loaded at runtime. A validation routine has been added to ensure that unit
                   tests will fail, and developers will receive debugging messages, if a
                   non-existent state class is used in seminar code.

    TL-21239       Fixed a bug within Atto editor where text alignment could not be changed within IE11 or Edge

                   Previously the alignment of text within the Atto editor would fail to
                   change alignment in IE11 or Edge, if the text had already been aligned by
                   another user in a different browser (such as Firefox or Chrome).
                   This has now been fixed so that IE11 and Edge users can change the
                   alignment of text previously aligned in Firefox or Chrome.

    TL-21242       Fixed a bug preventing the modification of job assignments if the assignment name contained a space
    TL-21252   +   Added database table keys skipped during upgrade and migration
    TL-21258       The course progress block now creates the embedded report it requires if it does not already exist
