Developer Notes​

#3935 Load extension classes by checking JSON files​

New method Application::getExtensionClass() should be used instead of manually building a path to an extension. This method will return only valid extension paths, and will prevent errors that result in an attempt to load legacy classes.

#3727 Prevent discussion forums from being dragged to root level​

New method Node\Controller::_canBeRoot() to determine if the row can be dragged to the root level. This was previously hard-coded to ( $node instanceof $nodeClass ).

#3578 Make open assignments more visible​

New method MenuExtension::mobileNotificationCount() to allow 3rd party applications to add to the counter that is displayed in the mobile menu. Previously this counter only showed the number of Active Reports.

New method ModCpAbstract::getCounters() allows 3rd party applications to add counters to the top of the ModCP. Previously this was hard-coded to show only Active Reports and the Approval Queue count.
