[LON-CAPA-dev] Re: 1.2.0 pre-annonce

[Stuart Peter Raeburn]

Hi Guy, 

Additional enhancements: 

 - Import of IMS content packages into DOCS or CSTR
 - Import of testbank questions.
 - Enrollment type for auto-enrolled students in a course can be switched to 
manual (and vice versa).
 - Integrated support page includes 'Ask Helpdesk' web form for routing help 
requests to a support e-mail address. 

Inclusion is recommended for any of these that are considered 'notable'.
