=== 2.2 ===
- * Question type plugins should start using a string called 'pluginname' for the
- question type name, as with other plugins. Using a string with the same name
- as the question type (e.g. get_string('essay', 'qtype_essay') will be supported
- for one more release, but will generate a debugging warning.
+* The XML import/export base class has had some minor API changes. The
+ - write_combined_feedback method now requires that you pass the questionid and
+ contextid. (MDL-29058)
+ - calls to the import_hints and import_answer methods now should pass the question
+ text format as the last argument, to be used as a default if necessary. (MDL-29739)
+ If you do not upgrade your code, it will not break, but there will be PHP
+ warnings, and it the export will not work 100% correctly.
+
+ * The old
+ public function requires_qtypes()
+ method is no more. Instead use the ->dependencies facility in version.php. E.g.
+ $plugin->dependencies = array(
+ 'qtype_numerical' => 2011102700,
+ );
+
+ * The plugin name and related strings used to be defined in language strings
+ called the same thing as the format, for example:
+
+ $string['addingdescription'] = 'Adding a Description';
+ $string['description'] = 'Description';
+ $string['description_help'] = 'A description is not really a question type. It simply enables text to be displayed without requiring any answers, similar to a label on the course page.
+ $string['description_link'] = 'A description is not really a question type. It simply enables text to be displayed without requiring any answers, similar to a label on the course page.
+ $string['descriptionsummary'] = 'This is not actually a question. Instead it is a way to add some instructions, rubric or other content to the activity. This is similar to the way that labels can be used to add content to the course page.';
+ $string['editingdescription'] = 'Editing a Description';
+
+ All these need to be changed to use the standard string name pluginname, as for
+ other plugin types, and similar for the other strings.
+
+ $string['pluginname'] = 'Description';
+ $string['pluginname_help'] = 'A description is not really a question type. It simply enables text to be displayed without requiring any answers, similar to a label on the course page.
+ $string['pluginname_link'] = 'A description is not really a question type. It simply enables text to be displayed without requiring any answers, similar to a label on the course page.
+ $string['pluginnameadding'] = 'Adding a Description';
+ $string['pluginnameediting'] = 'Editing a Description';
+ $string['pluginnamesummary'] = 'This is not actually a question. Instead it is a way to add some instructions, rubric or other content to the activity. This is similar to the way that labels can be used to add content to the course page.';
+
+ The old strings will continue to work, but only until Moodle 2.3 is released.
