This file describes API changes in core filter API and plugins,
information provided here is intended especially for developers.
=== 3.6 ===
* Although there is no API change that require you to update your filter,
if you use the filter_phrases() helper method, you may wish to take
advantage of the changes that were made in MDL-47962 to improve performance.
Now, instead of having to compute the replacement HTML for each phrase before
you construct the filterobject for it. You can instead pass a callback to
the filterobject constructor which is only called if the phrase is used.
To understand how to use this, see the comment on filterobject::__construct and
look at the filter_glossary changes as an example:
https://github.com/moodle/moodle/commit/5a8c44d000ecc5669db26aefebe447f688e8f2ce
=== 3.0 ===
* New argument $skipfilters to filter_manager::filter_text to allow applying
the filters with a given one omitted.
* New admin setting class admin_setting_filter_types which can be used if you
want to make the disablefilters value in your code configurable.
* Methods filter_manager::text_filtering_hash and moodle_text_filter::hash have been
deprecated. There were use by the old Moodle filtered text caching system
that was removed several releases ago.
=== 2.7 ===
* Finally filter may use $PAGE and $OUTPUT, yay!
* Old global text caching was removed, each filter is now responsible
for own caching.
=== 2.6 ===
* filtersettings.php is now deprecated, migrate to standard settings.php
=== 2.5 ===
* legacy_filter emulation was removed
* support for 'mod/*' filters was removed
* use short filter name instead of old path, ex.: 'filter/tex' ---> 'tex'
in all filter API functions and methods
=== 2.3 ===
* new setup() method added to moodle_text_filter, invoked before
filtering happens, used to add all the requirements to the page
(js, css...) and/or other init tasks. See filter/glossary for
an example using the API (and MDL-32279 for its justification).
=== 2.2 ===
* legacy filters and legacy locations have been deprecated, so any
old filter should be updated to use the new moodle_text_filter,
and any filter bundled under mod/xxxx directories be moved to
/filter/xxxx (MDL-29995). They will stop working completely in
Moodle 2.3 (MDL-29996). See the glossary or data filters for
examples of legacy module filters and locations already updated.
