Moodle upgrade

Upgraded the production instance of Moodle to the latest stable (1.4.3+).

All seems to be well, and I’m having Mark look at it to make sure things look good from his end.

The gotchas are:

  • Re-apply the patch for the LDAP 2307 language strings in lang/en/auth.php.
  • Make the TeX filter understand SunOS as a platform again — edit filter/tex/pix.php and filter/tex/texdebug.php to include SunOS sections as well as Linux, Darwin, etc.

There were a few column rename errors on the first upgrade page. Something about creating a temporary column, doing something to it, and then renaming it to a standard column. The error was that the column already existed during the rename phase. Since these were enclosed in BEGIN/END/COMMIT phases, no changes were actually made. I don’t think this poses any problems, but I’ll keep my eye out (the summary at the end of the page didn’t seem to think there were any problems, in any case).
