Description
As a result of some previous efforts dragmath is now offered in Moodle CVS, but relies on a version of adminlib.php that includes minimal setting for dragmath
'insertdragmath' => 'em.icon.dragmath.gif'
The problem is that as new releases of moodle are made available the dragmath cvs faces either having to provide a separate version for each release, or face possible inconsistencies in adminlib.php.
I don't think requiring or expecting that that all users have the most recent release is reasonable.
As Dragmath is expected to be included in core 2 moodle anyway and could be actually move to core 1.9 Moodle with very minimal work, I would like to see the core adminlib.php for version 1.8.4 on be altered in Stabel to include the additional code so that adminlib.php can be deleted from the dragmath cvs.
There are not going to be any more improvements in 1.8.x or backporting, only critical bug fixes. 1.9.x is not getting any new features either, only normal bugfixing - sometimes there are exceptions, but those are often made for security reasons or for better backwards compatibility.
If I understand it correctly, you want one plugin to work in 1.8.x, 1.9.x? This is not possible, maybe you could use branches in contrib, right?
