Privacy API update

In addition to existing requirements, any plugin which implements the plugin \ 
provider interface must also implement the \ 
\core_privacy\local\request\core_userlist_provider interface. Two new methods \ 
need to be implemented:

    get_users_in_context()
    delete_data_for_users()

However, the two above methods are not required for plugins that implement the \ 
null_provider only (i.e. which do not store personal data).

Note that these changes are also required for latest Moodle 3.4.6 and 3.5.3 versions.
Behat scenario files

    MDL-57281 - The behat step

    I navigate to "ITEM" node in "MAINNODE > PATH"

    has been deprecated and throws an exception with details on how to replace \ 
it. The recommended replacement steps work in all recent Moodle versions. The \ 
updated Behat will pass with Moodle 3.4 too.

Login token

If your plugin provides an alternative login form (e.g. it is a theme replacing \ 
the default login form template / renderer), the login form must include a new \ 
login token field. For details of required changes, see Login token. Note that \ 
this also affects latest stable branches too.
New core functions

    userdate_htmltime()

Upgrading plugins
1. Check for changes in core APIs

Read lib/upgrade.txt to check for the deprecations and core API changes, make \ 
sure you applied them to your plugin. Note that entries there are not sorted by \ 
priority but rather by integration time. Below is the list of upgrade.txt files \ 
that contain information about upgrading from Moodle 3.4 to Moodle 3.5 (note \ 
that if you upgrade from earlier versions there may be more files):

lib/upgrade.txt changes to various core APIs, deprecations, functions removal
calendar/upgrade.txt changes to Calendar API
search/upgrade.txt changes to Global search API
message/upgrade.txt changes to Messages API
course/upgrade.txt changes to Course API
2. Check for changes in the API of your plugin type

Below is the list of plugin types that had API changes between Moodle 3.4 and 3.5:

enrol/upgrade.txt Enrolment method plugins
mod/upgrade.txt Activity module plugins
auth/upgrade.txt Authentication plugins
course/format/upgrade.txt Course format plugins
question/type/upgrade.txt Question type plugins
3. Check for changes in the depended plugins

If your plugin depends on another plugin or calls methods from another plugin, \ 
read upgrade.txt in this plugin directory (if it exists). Below is the list of \ 
standard plugins that had changes between Moodle 3.4 and 3.5:

tool_mobile, tool_usertours, mod_assign, mod_feedback, mod_quiz, mod_scorm, \ 
theme_boost

4. Do a smoke test of your plugin with developer debugging mode

Moodle 3.5
