New Version 2.1.1 Released


- It's highly suggested to install this bugfix release.


Notable Bug Fixes since 2.1.0:

- 'showdoc' files can be navigated now
- "What's New" is available to IN and TA roles, and Custom Roles that are 
  given the privledge
- display of "What's New" can be configured on a per course basis
- TA roles can no longer send broadcast messages or critical messages 
  by default
- Autoenroll now records a warning if a new username being added
  shares a student ID with a username already in the course in
  LON-CAPA, regardless
- essay problems with no submissions provide useful feedback when in 
  answer mode
- the 'modify course documents' privledge is now need to modify simple problems
- hidden resources no longer show up on the CLDR
- CLDR items show up in time order
- events that occur exactly at midnight were not showing up on the CLDR
- problems occured when trying to view a COM message that had been sent
   by Lon-capa version 1.2 or older
- some security updates to the COM screens
- display of messages should be significantly faster for users with many roles
- resources that have = in the filename, made it appear that other
  resources in the course were 'conditionally hidden'
- directory publication of problems could, in some cases, cause problem to
  not end up with IDs assigned to <part>s and <*response>s
- <table> printing improved
    - was defaulting to a width of 0 mm if one was unspecified
    - images inside of a table were shitfing to different cells
    - centering inside of a table cell was causing excess whitespace
- the HTML Entites &theta; &pi; &rho; where beign treated as funtion calls
- PGRD on a .problem in a .page was not working

Just a heads up,

If you try using the latest version of lonnet.pm

You will also need to have the latest version of both loncnew, and
LondConnection.pm installed.

If you have any problems with these let me know.

Hi Jim,

> Where do we get the latest versions of these?

Note that this email is on the -dev list for a reason.

You don't want these changes on a production machine.

If you are running a lon-capa software development server, you get
these changes like all other dev changes, cvs.

Let me know if you need any help using cvs.
