1 This file describes API changes in core filter API and plugins,
2 information provided here is intended especially for developers.
6 * New argument $skipfilters to filter_manager::filter_text to allow applying
7 the filters with a given one omitted.
9 * New admin setting class admin_setting_filter_types which can be used if you
10 want to make the disablefilters value in your code configurable.
12 * Methods filter_manager::text_filtering_hash and moodle_text_filter::hash have been
13 deprecated. There were use by the old Moodle filtered text caching system
14 that was removed several releases ago.
18 * Finally filter may use $PAGE and $OUTPUT, yay!
19 * Old global text caching was removed, each filter is now responsible
24 * filtersettings.php is now deprecated, migrate to standard settings.php
28 * legacy_filter emulation was removed
29 * support for 'mod/*' filters was removed
30 * use short filter name instead of old path, ex.: 'filter/tex' ---> 'tex'
31 in all filter API functions and methods
35 * new setup() method added to moodle_text_filter, invoked before
36 filtering happens, used to add all the requirements to the page
37 (js, css...) and/or other init tasks. See filter/glossary for
38 an example using the API (and MDL-32279 for its justification).
42 * legacy filters and legacy locations have been deprecated, so any
43 old filter should be updated to use the new moodle_text_filter,
44 and any filter bundled under mod/xxxx directories be moved to
45 /filter/xxxx (MDL-29995). They will stop working completely in
46 Moodle 2.3 (MDL-29996). See the glossary or data filters for
47 examples of legacy module filters and locations already updated.
