get_recent_enrolments()   X-Ref
Returns all recent enrolments.

This function previously used get_recent_enrolments located in lib/deprecatedlib.php which would
return an empty array which was identified in MDL-36993. The use of this function outside the
deprecated lib was removed in MDL-40649.

return: array array of entries from {user} table

if activity was both added and deleted

migrate_logs($course)   X-Ref
Migrates entries from table {log} into {block_recent_activity}

We only migrate logs for the courses that actually have recent activity
block and that are being viewed within COURSE_MAX_RECENT_PERIOD time
after the upgrade.

The presence of entry in {block_recent_activity} with the cmid=0 indicates
that the course needs log migration. Those entries were installed in
db/upgrade.php when the table block_recent_activity was created.
