New Version 1.0.99.1 Released

Codename "Burnt Turkey"

There were some issues with 1.0.99

Special thanks go out to Lars Jensen for subjecting his classes to it.

1.1.0 is expected to arrive on Monday.

Changes from 1.0.99:
- disabled disk caching due to speed
- automated enrollment manger integrated
- translation updates
- Bulletin boards can find 1.0 data again
- converts nohist_resevaldata.db to new style nohist_access_count database
- JME fixes
- grading fixes
- correct_by_scantron fixes
- SPRS reports errors
- revert method handling tag attributes with $ in them to 1.0 style

Notable Changes:
- start of localization (currently has partial interfaces for
  German, Japanese, Portugese, Russian, Turkish) if you'd like
  to do the translations for another language let us know
- complete rewrite of lonc
- scantron mode works
- more STAT modes (submission time analysis,
                    optionresponse problem analysis)
- threaded discussion
- improved support for versioning of resources
