- Needs testing and should consider unstable.

   $CFG->loginhttps

After logging in via https, Moodle returns to a normal http URL

  $CFG->extendedusernamechars

Plus, some optimisation on the way encoding is stored (in the session).

------------

I have a site which really needs this, so I went ahead with it already.

This add-on will cache formatted texts in the database and use them
for a specified timeperiod.

By default it is disabled.   Enable it with:

  $CFG->cachetext = 600;   // in seconds

right now.

until it's stable enough to replace Richtext

To enable the new editor, add this line into config.php:

  $CFG->useneweditor = true;

This new feature allows arbitrary text filters to be added to
any HTML that is printed (forum posts, resources etc) ... anything
that uses the standard format_text function.

The first one properly supported is the glossary dynamic linking
feature.

not working.

The problems I thought were happening were in fact another problem
on someone's installation (missing files).  This code now checks
for that too.

platforms.

Replaces the old $CFG->buggy_referer (reverses it, in fact) and can
now be set in the configuration page (no need for it in config.php).

IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX - this makes sure $CFG can not be overridden

I've added the variable CFG->main_frame to config-dist.php, and replaced _top
targets with the variable in all the php files.  HTML files, like those in the
documentation, have not been modified, as they are not (yet) parsed.

The variable should probably get moved into the config table, and get some
documentation.

I've also included, but commented out, a slight change in weblib.php, which
would guarantee that messages would be seen before redirecting the user (unless
delay intentionally set to 0 when redirect is used).

and require() to require_once()

Basically all the Database functions are in lib/datalib.php
and the web functions are all in lib/weblib.php, so
moodlelib.php is much thinner than it was.

Data functions have been extended ... most old calls will
still work, but now many more SQL commands can be performed
using the datalib functions rather than using SQL.  I'm
currently moving through the whole tree replacing SQL
calls or at least concentrating them in one section of
mod/xxx/lib.php

Still working on forums, quizzes, surveys, resources.

The tree is currently not full working ... some things are
half-completed ... will resume tomorrow.
