Moodle 4.0

[girish]

A major upgrade to moodle is coming up - https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_4.0_release_notes . Particularly, lots of UX improvements - https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_4.0_release_notes#Major_UX_improvements

@girish It might have a good UI finally!

Honestly working in an educational institution the number of support issues we had just due to the dated UI was insane. Looking forward to this

@atridad that's partly why I'd really like Canvas on Cloudron too.

Hopefully Moodle 4.0 will be a big improvement...

I had a quick look at some of the pics/ video and it does look rather like how I remember Canvas looking now in terms of course navigation and stuff.

@atridad It looks nice and modern (at least the default theme). I just upgraded (on a different non-Cloudron server) from 3.6.11, and wow! Spartan and minimal, easier to read...just nicer. It doesn't look like some kind of Joomla monstrosity anymore.

Hope we can update to the 4.0 at the earliest.
The UI definitely looks decluttered and a lot more polished.

@girish Any ETA for the Moodle 4.0, please?

[girish]

@jagan working on it! The CLI updater is not working sadly and I am neck deep in PHP code

@girish Oh yeah I imagine a major release like this is going to cause problems

[girish]

OK, I found the issue.

 Warning: require_once(/app/data/moodle/lib/boxlib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /app/data/moodle/repository/boxnet/lib.php on line 26

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/app/data/moodle/lib/boxlib.php' (include_path='/app/data/moodle/lib/pear:.:/usr/share/php') in /app/data/moodle/repository/boxnet/lib.php on line 26

This boxnet plugin has disappeared in the new release. Need to figure a cleverer way of copying over the relevant plugins in moodle.

[girish]

OK, new package is out with Moodle 4.0.1

@girish woohoo!
