Description
Currently the Assignment cron checks that the assignment is visible before it sends feedback notifications to students, and defers the notification until later if the assignment is hidden. However, there is currently no check for the availability of the assignment, so if the teacher has restricted access (e.g. until all grading has been completed) the students will still receive feedback notifications (containing a link to an unavailable assignment).
Admittedly this is probably mitigated by the 'Marking workflow and allocation' functionality in Moodle 2.6, but I think this issue should still be addressed for users who aren't aware of this (or choose not to use it).
