[LON-CAPA-dev] Preview of 2.3.3

[Guy Albertelli II]

Hi All,

Trying to get a 2.3.3 together to cleanup some annoyances.

(Let me know if I missed any bugs that people really need included in
a 2.3.3)

--------
New Version 2.3.3 Released

This is a bugfix release. It's a good idea to be installed.


Notable Changes from 2.3.2:
- scantron grading of exams that use the number format and 10 bubbles
  would not grade bubble 10 corectly
- advanced search of domains works a again
- correct icons appear on resource with non-lowercase filenames
- corrections to internal caching system (results in some noticable
  speedups, especially in the PARM screen and courses with long
  resource paths)
- gnuplot in imageresponse no longer generates spurious dependencies
- publishing was incorrectly handling metadata tags with _ in them
- gnuplot support for Polar grids
- task can control the location that grading information is displayed using
  <QuestionGradeInfo />

To install this update:

1) You will need to be running Fedora Core 5 or 6, RHEL (AS|ES) 4,
   SUSE 9.3 or 10.1, SLES 9 or 10
     (Fedora Core 4 or 3 should continue to work but are deprecated.)

2) If running Fedora, use yum to update your machine and then install
   the
      LONCAPA-prerequisites (if not already installed).
