To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. download and unzip moodle 4.5
2. copy plugins, themes, config.php, etc. from 4.1 into 4.5 directories
3. run admin/cli/upgrade.php --non-interactive
4. see error

Expected behavior
An update from moodle 4.1 to 4.5 without errors.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Win 11
• Browser: Firefox

Additional context
Instead of copying the old folder from 4.1 we also tried to use directly version 2025032500 before running the upgrade.php, but the result is the same.

[Amrita1991]

MESSAGE_DEFAULT_LOGGEDIN has been deprecated in 4.5 and replaced by MESSAGE_DEFAULT_ENABLED which is correctly reflected here.

Please check if you are pulling your code from the correct branch

UPDATE
You can either:

1. update pdfannotator and then your moodle OR
2. update both simultaneously

[sennewood]

We pull the code from here: https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_pdfannotator/versions - I don't know which branch is used there.

[Amrita1991]

The version you mentioned v1.5.8(2025032400) is for Moodle 4.0-4.3.x
Since you are upgrading to Moodle 4.5 the correct version for you will be v1.5.8(2025032500)

Although both have the same release number v1.5.8 the latter's icon conforms to 4.5 regulation and deprecated functions and constants (like MESSAGE_DEFAULT_LOGGEDIN) have been substituted.

Have you updated PDFAnnotator to 2025032500 and then upgraded your moodle to 4.5?
