| 8 | * copy_to_area() can receive a new parameter called $areamaxbytes which controls the maximum | |
| 9 | size of the area the files will be stored in. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | * the repositories using the upload() method should implement a check for $areamaxbytes, | |
| 12 | see repository/upload/lib.php upload() and process_upload() for an example on how handling it. | |

| 16 | * instance_config_form() must now be declared static for php5.4 compatibility. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | * get_listing() and search() file metadata details are now now more prominently | |
| 19 | displayed in the interface. Dates and timestamos are now able to be sorted on in | |
| 20 | the filepicker interface so plugin authors are asked to ensure: | |
| 21 | - Dates are defined as UNIX timestamps | |
| 22 | - Filesize is an integer in bytes | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | * It is recomended to define function get_file_source_info() to provide more rich | |
| 25 | infromation about the source of a file. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | * The API was extended to allow repositories can now support external references, please | |
| 28 | see http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Repository_API for further details. |
