All notable changes to mod_coursemail are documented here.

v0.1.2 — CI compliance fixes (2026-07-10)

Fixes for issues surfaced by the new GitHub Actions CI workflow (moodle-plugin-ci),
none of which change plugin behaviour:

• Fix (PHPDoc): three @param docblocks were out of sync with their function
  signatures (testcourse_generator::seed_individual_messages,
  get_folder::execute, backup_test::backup_and_restore).


• Fix (invalid markup): the message list item was a <button> containing
  <div> children, which is not valid HTML5 (button only accepts phrasing
  content). Replaced with <span>, preserving the layout via explicit
  display: block in CSS.


• Fix (lint): capitalised a lowercase JS comment (capitalized-comments
  ESLint rule) and removed an unnecessary !important in styles.css
  (declaration-no-important stylelint rule); the class-based selector already
  had enough specificity without it.


• Fix (mustache lint): added the missing "Example context" block to
  mobile_view.mustache.

v0.1.1 — Compliance and packaging fixes (2026-07-02)

Fixes for three issues reported against the v0.1.0 package (Moodle plugins directory
review / CLI installation):

• Fix (install-breaking): db/messages.php used MESSAGE_DEFAULT_LOGGEDIN and
  MESSAGE_DEFAULT_LOGGEDOFF, which are deprecated since Moodle 4.0 (MDL-73284) and
  have been removed in newer Moodle releases, making admin/cli/upgrade.php abort
  with Undefined constant "MESSAGE_DEFAULT_LOGGEDIN" while loading message
  providers. Replaced with MESSAGE_DEFAULT_ENABLED, matching the pattern used by
  core plugins (e.g. mod_forum): the popup/bell notification stays enabled by
  default, email is permitted but opt-in.


• Fix (invalid build artifact): amd/build/mailbox.min.js and
  amd/build/repository.min.js were flat, unminified copies of the amd/src/
  sources, which is invalid per the Moodle JS module build process. Rebuilt both
  with the real Moodle grunt amd pipeline (Rollup + terser), producing genuinely
  minified output plus source maps (*.min.js.map). No behaviour change: verified
  with the @mod_coursemail Behat suite (real browser) before and after.


• Fix (licensing/IP compliance): the plugin package had no LICENSE file at its
  root, even though every source file already declared "GNU GPL v3 or later". Added
  a LICENSE file at the plugin root with the verbatim GPL-3.0 text.

v0.1.0 — First public release (2026-06-13)

mod_coursemail is a Moodle 4.1 activity module that gives each activity instance
its own internal mailbox, with configurable activity completion. It is inspired by
local_mail but is a self-contained activity with no dependency on it.

Highlights:

• Threaded conversations between teachers and students, entirely inside the
  course — no external email involved.


• Teacher messaging: send to a single student, the whole class, or a
  group/grouping in one action. The conversation's "To:" header shows each
  recipient's read / replied status.


• Student messaging: read, reply within the thread, and start conversations
  with the teaching staff.


• Folders: Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Starred, plus a Supervision folder for
  managers (mod/coursemail:viewall).


• Productivity: conversation search, a This activity / Whole course scope
  toggle, attachments, quick filters and bulk actions, course-page status badges,
  and a role-aware in-app help screen.


• Activity completion tied to messaging: a single rule that combines reading
  all staff messages (optional), replying where a response is required, and
  per-student manual completion marked by a teacher.


• Full Moodle integration: events, a privacy (GDPR) provider, backup/restore,
  capabilities, and English and Spanish language packs.

Requires Moodle 4.1 (LTS). Tested on PHP 7.4.
