* External functions get_entries, get_entry and search_entries now return an additional field "tags" containing the entry tags.

=== 3.4 ===
* External function mod_data_external::search_entries() now returns the maxcount field: Total count of records that the user could
    see in the database (if all the search criterias were removed).
* External function get_entry now returns an additional field "ratinginfo" containing the entry rating information.

=== 3.3.2 ===
* data_refresh_events() Now takes two additional parameters to refine the update to a specific instance. This function
  now optionally takes the module instance object or ID, and the course module object or ID. Please try to send the full
  objects instead of the ids to save DB calls.

    rsstemplate, rsstitletemplate, csstemplate, jstemplate, asearchtemplate, approval, defaultsort, defaultsortdir, manageapproved.
* Data field classes extending data_field_base should implement the get_config_for_external method.
    This method is used for returning the field settings for external functions.

    This is intended to protect field settings like private keys for external systems.

    (in the entries section) is no longer displayed for new instances and will be deprecated in a future release
    in favour of the new completion setting.
