Stable release v3.9-r2

New features

• The block is not able to use the chunk upload form element offered by the plugin local_chunkupload. If the local plugin is installed the chunk upload can be offered to the teacher. This provides the advantage that the upload limit can be set without any core hack. Also the upload limit can be raised higher than the php restrictions through the settings post_max_size and upload_max_filesize.
• It is now possible to also add an LTI episode module to the course page. During the adding of the LTI modules for an episode or an series the teacher can now be enabled to directly provide the title, an intro, the course section the LTI module should be added to and the restrictions for accessing it.

Minor changes

• The position of error texts has been adjusted (regression of the UI redesign).
• The setting maxuploadsize has been renamed to uploadfilelimit and moved to additional settings. It is only displayed if the chunkupload plugin is installed.
• Fixed "Invalid signature for signature method HMAC-SHA1"

New requirement

Requires the new version of tool_opencast (2020090700).
