1 WeBWorK 2 Online Homework Delivery System 3 Version 2.3.2 4 5 Copyright 2000-2007, The WeBWorK Project 6 All rights reserved. 7 8 Introduction 9 10 The [4]WeBWorKTeam is pleased to announce the release of WeBWorK 11 2.3.2. This version builds on WeBWorK 2.3.1, adding several bug fixes 12 and low-impact feature enhancements. Changes include: 13 14 * Fixed a problem where the mod_perl.pm module would be loaded under 15 Apache 2. 16 * Fixed a problem with listing problems from an existing set in the 17 Library Browser. See bug_small.png [5]Bug #1110. 18 * Improved the error message given by the Grades module when a 19 scoring file does not exist. 20 * Fixed some typos in the parser documentation. 21 * Set SMTP envelope sender to $ce->{mail}{smtpSender} rather than 22 sending user's email address. This prevents some mail servers from 23 rejecting the mail for having a forged sender address. 24 * Make the transaction log a system-wide log rather than a 25 course-specific log. This works around the problem described in 26 bug_small.png [6]Bug #1333. 27 * Fix a problem in which problems from unassigned sets could not be 28 previewed on the Problem Set Detail page. (The error message was 29 "odd number of elements in hash assignment". See bug_small.png 30 [7]Bug #1190.) 31 * Added an optional JavaScript[8]^? file that blocks excessive page 32 reloads caused by holding down the F5 key in MSIE. See 33 bug_small.png [9]Bug #1209. 34 * Fix a problem where jsMath expressions could overlap other page 35 elements, making them unclickable. 36 * Replace underscores in set names with spaces in the links menu. 37 * Improve error message given when no recipients are selected in 38 mail merge. See bug_small.png [10]Bug #1130. 39 * Perform format checking on From and Reply-to addresses in mail 40 merge. See bug_small.png [11]Bug #1131. 41 * Improve error reporting when sending an email to a user fails: 42 errors are now reported by email to the professor and also logged 43 to the Apache error log. See bug_small.png [12]Bug #1120. 44 * In mail merge preview, wrap text to 80 columns. See bug_small.png 45 [13]Bug #1147. 46 * Allow WeBWorK to exist on the root of a server. (That is, 47 http://your.server/ would be the WeBWorK home page.) See 48 bug_small.png [14]Bug #1150. 49 * Updated bin/check_modules.pl to take an apache1 or apache2 50 argument, controlling which Apache modules are checked for. See 51 bug_small.png [15]Bug #1151. 52 * Improved error message in bin/check_modules.pl when an executable 53 is not found. See bug_small.png [16]Bug #1153. 54 * Added support for external authentication mechanisms. 55 * Added support for the [17]Cosign authentication system. 56 * Update jsMath to version 3.4a. See the [18]jsMath changelog for 57 more information. 58 * In the file manager, show a directory listing when a directory is 59 being deleted. The listing will show the total number of files in 60 the direcotry, and the top level contents of the directory (with 61 numbers of items in the each subdirectory listed, but not the 62 contents). See bug_small.png [19]Bug #1246. 63 64 Installation 65 66 WeBWorK 2.3.2 is available from our CVS repository, or as a tarball 67 from our SourceForge file release page. We recommend that you install 68 from CVS. Keep in mind that because of the layout of files within the 69 webwork2 directory tree, upgrading an existing installation is harder 70 using a tarball than using CVS. 71 72 Installation instructions are available from 73 [20]InstallationManualV2pt3. 74 75 You must also have [21]PGLanguageRelease2pt3pt2 installed. The 76 installation manual also covers installing PG. 77 78 Upgrading 79 80 If you are upgrading from WeBWorK 2.2.x, you will need to upgrade your 81 database. See [22]"Automatic" database upgrades in the installation 82 manual. 83 84 If your are upgrading from 2.3.x, note that 2.3.2 requires the 85 Email::Address Perl module. Install this module before upgrading. 86 Refer to the [23]installation manual for information about installing 87 Perl modules. 88 89 If you want to move your WeBWorK installation to the server root (so 90 that http://your.server/ will be handled by WeBWorK), you must update 91 your webwork.apache-config (if you are using Apache 1.3) or 92 webwork.apache2-config (if you are using Apache 2) from the new .dist 93 copy. If you do not wish to take advantage of this new feature, you 94 don't have to update those files. 95 96 If you use the transaction log, note that is has changed from being a 97 course-specific log to a system-wide log in global.conf.dist. Update 98 your global.conf accordingly. 99 100 Help 101 102 If you need help installing or using WeBWorK, visit the [24]WeBWorK 103 discussion group and post your question there. The developers and many 104 experienced WeBWorK users monitor this forum. 105 106 Bug Reports & Feature Requests 107 108 Please submit bug reports and feature requests at 109 [25]http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/. 110 111 -- [26]SamHathaway - 15 Jan 2007 112 -- [27]SamHathaway - 05 May 2007 (updated for release) 113 114 References 115 116 1. http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/WebRss?skin=rss&contenttype=text/xml 117 2. file://localhost/tmp/JGgEzho3Qr/L99315-271TMP.html#Help 118 3. file://localhost/tmp/JGgEzho3Qr/L99315-271TMP.html#Bug_Reports_Feature_Requests 119 4. http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/WeBWorKTeam 120 5. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1110 121 6. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1333 122 7. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1190 123 8. http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/edit/Webwork/JavaScript?topicparent=Webwork.WeBWorKRelease2pt3pt2 124 9. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1209 125 10. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1130 126 11. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1131 127 12. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1120 128 13. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1147 129 14. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1150 130 15. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1151 131 16. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1153 132 17. http://www.umich.edu/~umweb/software/cosign/ 133 18. http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/changes.html 134 19. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1246 135 20. http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/InstallationManualV2pt3 136 21. http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/PGLanguageRelease2pt3pt2 137 22. http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/InstallationManualV2pt3#_Automatic_database_upgrades 138 23. http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/InstallationManualV2pt3#Perl_modules 139 24. http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/discuss/ 140 25. http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/ 141 26. http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/SamHathaway 142 27. http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/SamHathaway
