[Moodle] Moodle 1.9.4 Now released

[Julian Ridden]

For those that may not already know. Moodle 1.9.5 was released today to the
world.

Highlights include:

   - New options to allow Moodle to be configured to comply with European
   and US privacy regulations, like FERPA.
      - New Site policies <http://docs.moodle.org/en/Site_policies> setting
      for disabling Notes <http://docs.moodle.org/en/Notes> completely
      - New Internal
enrolment<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Internal_enrolment>settings for
enforcing enrolment
      key <http://docs.moodle.org/en/Enrolment_key> usage and complexity
      - New Security overview
<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Security_overview>report
      - Separate capabilities for each report and other parts with sensitive
      information
   - Fix multiple
bugs<http://tracker.moodle.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10011&query=categor*+-question&summary=true&description=true&resolution=1&fixfor=10300&assigneeSelect=specificuser&assignee=timhunt>relating
to creating and editing course categories. Previously, giving admin
   permissions in a category and its subcategories did not work reliably. In
   the process, the separate create, update and delete category capabilities
   were replaced with
moodle/category:manage<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Capabilities/moodle/category:manage>,
   and moodle/category:visibility was renamed to
   moodle/category:viewhiddencategories<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Capabilities/moodle/category:viewhiddencategories>.

   - Essay questions can now be randomised by random questions. This must be
   enabled under *Administration > Miscellaneous > Experimental*.
   - A new capability
mod/quiz:reviewmyattempts<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Capabilities/mod/quiz:reviewmyattempts>,
   separate from
mod/quiz:attempt<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Capabilities/mod/quiz:attempt>.
   This let's you create a read-only role that lets students see what they have
   done on a course in the past, without being able to change anything any
   more.
   - A new capability
mod/scorm:deleteresponses<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Capabilities/mod/scorm:deleteresponses>allowing
deletion of SCORM attempts
   - Email notification of course
requests<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Course_request>,
   and a new capability
moodle/course:request<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Capabilities/moodle/course:request>to
control who can request courses.
   - New Forum setting <http://docs.moodle.org/en/Forum_settings> for
   enabling AJAX forum ratings <http://docs.moodle.org/en/Forum_ratings>
   - New option (named "Yes, object") for the file
resource<http://docs.moodle.org/en/File_or_website_link>"Keep page
navigation visible on the same page" setting. This option
   displays a resource in a XHTML strict page. Other options have been kept.
   - Some database module
settings<http://docs.moodle.org/en/Adding/editing_a_database>have been
fixed ('Required Entries' and ' Required Entries before viewing).
   If the fix has an impact on your Moodle installation, you will be warned
   during upgrade.
