 === 4.0.0 ===
 
+- The versioncode in moodle.config.json has changed from 4 digits to 5 digits to match the actual value for the stores: the 4.0.0 version's versioncode is now 40000 instead of 4000. If you maintain a Moodle plugin with mobile support and you use the versioncode that is sent in every request, you might need to check if this change will affect your code.
 - The parameters of the functions confirmAndPrefetchCourse and confirmAndPrefetchCourses have changed, they now accept an object with options.
 - Component core-navigation-bar changed to add an slider inside. previous, previousTitle, next, nextTitle, info and title have been removed.
   Now you have to pass all items and 3 optional params have been added.
