Hi All,

Here is the 1.1.99.1 announcement.

Hoepfully tommorrow I'll be able to send this out for real.

New Version 1.1.99.1 Released

This release will be deployed at MSU.

Notable Changes:
- SSL code in place to start increasing the security of the inter
   machine communication
- Problem Source Code access is now possible
- Auto enroll runs on the course library server now so Cour
   coordinators can do 'Update now' on and access server

Known Issues:

- 1.1 servers are unale to host sessions for course running on 1.2
   servers, you will need to upgrade all machines in the cluster at the
   same time. )or at least the access servers need to be updated
   before the library servers)

To install this update:

1) You will need to be running Fedora Core 2 or RedHat 7.3
     release to work

2) if you are running RedHat 7.3 and you will need to install the
     3.10 systemperl rpm

First get:
http://install.loncapa.org/resources/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.10-rh7.i386.rpm

Install it by doing:
rpm -e `rpm -q -a | grep systemperl`
rpm --install --force --nodeps LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.10-rh7.i386.rpm

$ rpm -q LON-CAPA-systemperl

RedHat 7.X will show
