mod_exelearning targets every currently supported Moodle release from Moodle 4.5 LTS (the declared minimum in version.php: $plugin->requires = 2024100700) through the latest Moodle 5.2 stable ($plugin->supported = [405, 502]). Older Moodle releases — including all 3.x versions and 4.0 through 4.4 — are explicitly not supported because the multi-grade-item API that the plugin depends on was only finalised in Moodle 4.5 LTS.

​
Why Moodle 4.5 is the minimum

The plugin’s gradebook model depends on two APIs that were introduced and stabilised in Moodle 4.5 LTS:
  • get_grade_item_names — the callback that tells the gradebook how many items an activity registers and what to call them. Without this hook, per-iDevice columns cannot be created.
  • itemnumber_mapping interface — used by the gradebook to associate individual itemnumber values with named grade items, enabling independent columns per iDevice rather than a single aggregated score.
Neither API exists in Moodle 3.x or 4.0–4.4. Back-porting these capabilities would require maintaining a compatibility shim for every older API surface the plugin touches, which is not a goal of this project. Moodle 4.5 LTS has a long support window, making it a stable and appropriate baseline.
CI runs the full test suite (PHPUnit + Behat + moodle-plugin-ci linters) against all supported Moodle branches on every pull request. If you encounter a compatibility problem on any supported branch, please file an issue at https://github.com/exelearning/mod_exelearning/issues and include the Moodle version, PHP version, and database engine.
