Changelog

All notable changes to the qtype_accounting plugin are documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog,
and the plugin follows Semantic Versioning.

[1.0.0] - 2026-05-28

Stable release. No functional changes since 0.1.0; promoted to MATURITY_STABLE and considered ready for production use.

Changed

• Maturity raised from MATURITY_BETA to MATURITY_STABLE.


• Declared $plugin->supported = [405, 501] — verified against Moodle 4.5 LTS through 5.1.


• All in-tree code, comments, and identifiers normalised to English.


• CSS selectors namespaced under .qtype_accounting-* to prevent collisions with other plugins or themes.


• Repository licensing aligned: LICENSE is the GPL v3 text; per-file headers reference GPL v3 or later.

Fixed

• CI grunt step on macOS Docker Desktop hosts: static text files (README.md, CHANGES.md, LICENSE) are no longer single-file bind-mounted into the container — they were tripping a stale-filesize() race in Symfony's Filesystem::copy() used by moodle-plugin-ci grunt's backup step. dev/scripts/ci.sh now syncs them into the container's writable layer on every run.

[0.1.0] - 2026-05-13

Initial public release.

Added

• Buchungssatz (accounting journal entry) question type for Moodle 4.5 LTS and later, on PHP 8.1+, verified against MariaDB 10.11 and PostgreSQL 16.


• Question authoring form with dynamic entry rows. Each row carries a debit account, debit amount, credit account, credit amount, and independent per-field weights (1, 2, or 3) for grading.


• Authoring options: chart of accounts selection, number of decoy accounts in dropdowns, number-format toggle (DE/US), deduction-per-extra-entry penalty, all-or-nothing grading.


• Course-scoped chart of accounts management (manage_charts.php, edit_chart.php) backed by the qtype_accounting_charts and qtype_accounting_accounts tables, gated by the qtype/accounting:managecharts capability.


• CSV import and export of charts of accounts (UTF-8 and Windows-1252 input, BOM stripping).


• Student question rendering with account dropdowns that integrate with Select2 when the theme provides it, a responsive mobile card layout, auto-copy of debit amount to credit amount on row entry, and deterministic per-attempt decoy shuffling (seeded by attempt).


• Aggregation-based grading (classes/scorer.php): for each (side, account) pair the configured account weight is awarded if the student named that account on that side, and the amount weight is awarded if the summed amount is within 0.01 of the correct sum. The configured percentage is subtracted per extra account named (each side independent), floored at 0, and snapped to 0/1 in all-or-nothing mode. Account matching is case-insensitive.


• Side-level feedback messages ("The debit side is incorrect." / "The credit side is incorrect." and partial variants), per-field correct/incorrect colouring on the student's response, and the full correct answer rendered alongside.


• Moodle XML question import and export, including the embedded chart of accounts so questions move between courses and sites with their account list intact.


• Backup and restore via backup/moodle2/, deduplicating against matching existing charts in the destination context.


• GDPR Privacy API provider declaring the usermodified audit column on qtype_accounting_charts and supporting export, deletion, and userlist queries for that column.


• English (shipped) and German (development-only; lang/de/ is export-ignored in .gitattributes) language packs.


• AMD JavaScript modules built via Moodle's grunt + rollup pipeline (amd/src/{editform,question,entry_utils,mobile_layout}.js).
