# mod_assign Upgrade notes

## 5.0

### Added

- Assign sub-plugins have a new method `assign_plugin::settings_validation` which can be overridden to validate the data when the assignments form is saved.

  For more information see [MDL-83440](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83440)
- There is a new method `submission_summary_for_messages()` for submission sub-plugins to summarise what has been submitted for inclusion in confirmation messages to students.

  For more information see [MDL-84387](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-84387)
- When the assignment activity sends notifications, it now sets more information in the $a object passed to the languages strings for the message subject and body. This is to give more flexibility to people using Language Customisation. The avaiable information is the same as the template context for the two templates in the next paragraph, but without the messagetext/html.
  Also, the overall structure of these messages is now rendered using templates mod_assign/messages/notification_html and mod_assign/messages/notification_html, so they can be overridden by themes. As a result of this, the methods format_notification_message_text and format_notification_message_html (which should have been private to mod_assign and not used anywhere else) have been removed.

  For more information see [MDL-84733](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-84733)

### Deprecated

- The assign_course_index_summary is now deprecated. The assign index is now generated using the mod_assign\course\overview integration class.

  For more information see [MDL-83888](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-83888)

### Fixed

- The unit test for the privacy provider has been marked as final.

  A number of core tests had been incorrectly configured to extend this test
  but should instead be extending `\mod_assign\tests\provider_testcase`.

  Any community plugins extending the `\mod_assign\privacy\provider_test` test
  class should be updated to extend `\mod_assign\tests\provider_testcase` instead.

  For more information see [MDL-81520](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-81520)

## 4.5

### Added

- Added 2 new settings:
    - `mod_assign/defaultgradetype`
      - The value of this setting dictates which of the `GRADE_TYPE_X` constants is the default option when creating new instances of the assignment.
      - The default value is `GRADE_TYPE_VALUE` (Point)
    - `mod_assign/defaultgradescale`
      - The value of this setting dictates which of the existing scales is the default option when creating new instances of the assignment.

  For more information see [MDL-54105](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-54105)
- A new web service called `mod_assign_remove_submission` has been created to remove the submission for a specific user ID and assignment activity ID.

  For more information see [MDL-74050](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-74050)
- A new default value for `attemptreopenmethod` has been set to "Automatically until pass".

  For more information see [MDL-80741](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80741)
- A new method, `\assign_feedback_plugin::get_grading_batch_operation_details()`, has been added to the `assign_feedback_plugin` abstract class. Assignment feedback plugins can now override this method to define bulk action buttons that will appear in the sticky footer on the assignment grading page.

  For more information see [MDL-80750](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80750)

### Deprecated

- The constant `ASSIGN_ATTEMPT_REOPEN_METHOD_NONE` has been deprecated, and a new default value for `attemptreopenmethod` has been set to "Automatically until pass".

  For more information see [MDL-80741](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80741)
- The `\assign_feedback_plugin::get_grading_batch_operations()` method is now deprecated. Use `assign_feedback_plugin::get_grading_batch_operation_details` instead.

  For more information see [MDL-80750](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80750)
- The `\assign_grading_table::plugingradingbatchoperations` property has been removed. You can use `\assign_feedback_plugin::get_grading_batch_operation_details()` instead.

  For more information see [MDL-80750](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80750)
- The `$submissionpluginenabled` and `$submissioncount` parameters from the constructor of the `\mod_assign\output::grading_actionmenu` class have been deprecated.

  For more information see [MDL-80752](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80752)
- The method `\assign::process_save_grading_options()` has been deprecated as it is no longer used.

  For more information see [MDL-82681](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-82681)

### Removed

- The default option "Never" for the `attemptreopenmethod` setting, which disallowed multiple attempts at the assignment, has been removed. This option was unnecessary because limiting attempts to 1 through the `maxattempts` setting achieves the same behavior.

  For more information see [MDL-80741](https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-80741)
- The `\mod_assign_grading_options_form` class has been removed since it is no longer used.
