This is the current stable release version of the Panopto plug-in for Moodle. No major features were added to this release but it is still recommended customers update to this version of the block. 

This version supports:

• Moodle 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9.
• Panopto versions 5.6.0 or later.

Here are the list of updates from the previous stable release (2019070100):

• The CLI script upgrade_all_folders.php has been renamed to upgrade_all_folders_cli.php to prevent confusion with the non-cli version of this script.
• The CLI script build_category_structure.php has been renamed to build_category_structure_cli.php to prevent confusion with the non-cli version of this script.
• Updated upgrade_all_folders_cli.php to support batch operations. To call the script with a batch call it with the following: 
• php -f upgrade_all_folders.php <Row # in folderMap to start on> <# of rows to process>
• E.g. “php -f upgrade_all_folders.php 6 15” will start at row 6 and process up to row 20
• Added a new script to lib/cli, ‘rename_all_folders_cli.php’ that will rename all folders listed in the block_panopto_foldermap table to the name of their associated course. This script supports batch operations similar to “upgrade_all_folders.php described above. 
• Added a new button in the Panopto Admin config that will redirect users to a page that will rename all folders listed in the block_panopto_foldermap table to the name of their associated course.
• Improved error messaging for when the Panopto block itself fails to load in a course.
• Improved logging when Panopto tasks (including provisioning) fail. 
• Improved logging for Panopto category hierarchy calls. 
• Teachers should now only see folders that they have creator access to when remapping a course.
• Added a timestamp to Panopto logs when logs are being redirected to a text file. 
• The Panopto Publisher role is no longer automatically associated with any Moodle roles by default.
• Added a toggle to allow Moodle to sync Panopto permissions when a user logs into Panopto using SSO with Moodle.
• Updated code format to better support OpenLMS requirements. 
• Enhanced the privacy provider to add reporting capability.
• Updated provisioning messaging to be more informative.
• Added the ability to unprovision Panopto folders from Moodle courses at plug-in settings page. Unprovisioning also automatically happens if a Moodle course is remapped to another Panopto folder. This feature works only with Panopto 7 or newer.
• Fixed an issue which caused Moodle PHPUnit Tests to fail when trying to enroll a user..
• Fixed an issue where Category structure copy feature did not work because the required database table was not created under ceratning plug-in upgrade sequence.
• Fixed an issue where Category structure copy feature did not work under specific PHP configuration.
• Fixed an issue where Category structure copy did not work as intended if a single Moodle server is tied to multiple Panopto servers.
• Fixed an issue where teachers would remove their own creator permissions if they attempted to edit and save Panopto plug-in's configuration for individual courses.
