Hi again. Sorry to inform you the plugins team is still busy with other urgent development tasks for the upcoming Moodle 3.0 release, so please expect further delays in the review and approval process. Thanks for your understanding and patience, we will do our best to get to reviewing your plugin soon.

Hi Mikhail. Sorry for the delays. The approval reviews team has been busy recently with other tasks related to the upcoming feature freeze for Moodle 3.0. We will do our best to get to all pending reviews ASAP. Thanks for understanding and your patience.

We closed all issues on Github and from this comments, can you take a look to this plugin again?

Thanks, please let us know when you have resolved the issues with the legacy logs and we will take another look.

I fixed all issues created on github bug tracker. I'll implement new events api in next release of the plugin.
David Mudrák

Thanks Dan for the comments. I agree and I believe Mikhail will be happy to improve the plugin according these suggestions. Marking as needing more work for now.

Dan Marsden
Thanks David - personally I think issues #1 and #4 should block approval, I also think the overall quality of the code should be improved before we accept this. Especially as there is a commercial aspect to this plugin the expectations of code quality and stability should be quite high.
The bigger issue I have is that this plugin relies on the legacy logs feature being enabled which has been deprecated since Moodle 2.7 - this is not documented within the plugin and I don't think we should approve any new plugins in the official repository that rely on deprecated functions. I have previously communicated this to Unplag and provided examples of the correct usage of the new events api.

Hi Mikhail. Thanks for sharing this plugin with the community. While reviewing the code, I spotted couple of not-really-serious issues and reported them into your tracker. I also asked our plagiarism API expert Dan Marsden for a peer-review of your code so he might provide you with more valuable feedback. Thanks for your patience with the review and approval process.
