4 | === 3.1 === |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | * New close() method added to loggers so they can close any open resource. Previously | |
| 7 | any backup and restore operation using the file logger may be leaving unclosed files. | |
| 8 | * New destroy() method added to loggers, normally called from backup and restore controllers | |
| 9 | own destroy() method to ensure that all references in the chained loggers are deleted | |
| 10 | and any open resource within them is closed properly. | |

12 | === 3.0 === |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | * The backup_auto_keep setting, in automated backups configuration, is now | |
| a3b1172d | 15 | renamed to backup_auto_max_kept as part of a rationalise of naming (see MDL-50602) |

17 | === 2.6 === |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | * The backup_controller_dbops::create_temptable_from_real_table() | |
| 20 | method is not available anymore. Temp tables must be created | |
| 21 | inline always. | |
| 22 | ||
| 3e7e2ab2 RS |
23 | * Using the info field from backup_ids_temp or backup_files_temp |
| 24 | must now go via backup_controller_dbops::decode_backup_temp_info() and | |
| 25 | backup_controller_dbops::encode_backup_temp_info(). The implementation | |
| 26 | of the encoding has changed. These new functions encapsulate any future | |
| 27 | changes to the encoding. | |

29 | === 2.5 === |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | * New optional param $sortby in backup set_source_table() allows to | |
| 32 | specify the ORDER BY clause to be used. Previously it was required | |
| 33 | to use the set_source_sql() more complex alternative in places | |
| 34 | requiring ordering. | |
| c1782ec6 EL |
35 | * The old 1.9 files backuplib.php, lib.php and restorelib.php and the bb directory, |
| 36 | (all under /backup) have been deleted and no code should rely on them anymore. | |
