New Gamma Version 0.99.4 Released
This fixes the last of the known important bugs. With any luck and no new report this will be 1.0
131 bugs fixed in this release
http://bugs.loncapa.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&chfield=bug_status&chfieldto=August+7&chfieldfrom=June+27
Notable Fixes from 0.99.3:
- importing resources no longer takes forever
- lonc should be even better about keeping connections up
- FDBK from students contains the answers again
-'Standard Grading' mode fully functional
- grading screen should be more intuitive
- excused works more correctly
1) You will need to be running Redhat 7.X (preferably 7.3)
for this release to work
2) if you haven't already download and install the 3.7 systemperl rpm
If you are running RedHat 7.X get
http://install.loncapa.org/resources/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.7-rh7.i386.rpm
Install it by doing:
rpm -e `rpm -q -a | grep systemperl`
rpm --install --force --nodeps LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.7-rh7.i386.rpm
Verify it is installed by doing:
$ rpm -q LON-CAPA-systemperl
RedHat 7.X will show
LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.7-rh7
3) Download the new LON-CAPA tarball from
wget http://install.lon-capa.org/versions/loncapa-0.99.4.tar.gz
and untar it
tar xzvf loncapa-0.99.4.tar.gz
4) Run the UPDATE script as root
cd loncapa-0.99.4
su
./UPDATE
5) restart the system services
/etc/rc.d/init.d/loncontrol stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/loncontrol start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
----NOTES
1) Many questions are answered at http://help.lon-capa.org
2) Defects reports, and enhancements requests can be entered at
http://bugs.lon-capa.org
3) Mailing lists can be joined and left at http://mail.lon-capa.org
4) We have withdrawn support for RedHat 6.2 for subsequent releases
please update your systems to RedHat 7.3
5) We are working on supporting RedHat 8.0 and 9 more easily, but for
right now Lon-CAPA should work on 8.0 or 9 systems, You will need
to install all of the CPAN modules by hand, (You can use the TEST
script to find out what is missing.) And you can use the
apache/mod_perl/mm rpms at http://install.loncapa.org/resources/ to
install apache 1.3.X and mod_perl 1, also grab the tth.so up there
and replace the one in the loncapa tarfile before running UPDATE
(There appears to be at least one bug plaguing RH9 that we are working
on.)
