(Bug #1293) 21 22 * Fixed a problem that occurred when viewing the set details for a set that had 23 not been assigned to any users. 24 25 * Added the ability to unarchive .tar.gz and .tar files to the File Manager. 26 27 * Worked around an IE bug in the File Manager where pressing return submits a 28 form but does not set the submit button's value properly in some 29 circumstances. 30 31 * Fixed a problem where the "over time: closed." status message would appear in 32 incorrect circumstances in the problem set list. 33 34 * Improved handling of textbook chapters and sections in the NPL-update script. 35 36 * Improved handling in the NPL-update script for problems which are tagged to a 37 chapter, but not to a particular section in the chapter. 38 39 * Show the numbers for textbook chapters and sections in the Library Browser. 40 41 * Improve speed of browsing the National Problem Library in the Library Browser. 42 43 * Ignore .svn directories when browsing file-based problem libraries in the 44 Library browser. 45 46 * Extended the set definition file format to support commas in the source_file, 47 value, and max_attempts fields. Literal commas and backslashes are backslash- 48 escaped. 49 50 Installation & Upgrade 51 ---------------------- 52 53 Comprehensive installation and upgrade instructions are located at: 54 http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/InstallationManualV2pt4 55 56 Read the sections below for specific information about upgrading from various 57 versions of WeBWorK. 58 59 Upgrading from 2.4.0 60 -------------------- 61 62 Before beginning, back up your WeBWorK database and course directories. 63 64 To update WeBWorK to exactly 2.4.1, use the following commands: 65 66 cd /opt/webwork/webwork2 67 cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-1 68 69 To update WeBWorK to the "tip" of the 2.4.x branch, which is mostly stable and 70 includes bug fixes and new features before they are officially released, use the 71 following commands: 72 73 cd /opt/webwork/webwork2 74 cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-dev 75 76 If you are using the National Problem Library, re-run bin/NPL-update to update 77 the database format to the latest version. 78 79 No database changes occurred between 2.4.0 and 2.4.1, so running bin/wwdb_upgrade 80 is not necessary. No configuration file changes occurred between 81 82 Upgrading from 2.3.x 83 -------------------- 84 85 Before beginning, back up your WeBWorK database and course directories. 86 87 To update WeBWorK to exactly 2.4.1, use the following commands: 88 89 cd /opt/webwork/webwork2 90 cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-1 91 92 To update WeBWorK to the "tip" of the 2.4.x branch, which is mostly stable and 93 includes bug fixes and new features before they are officially released, use the 94 following commands: 95 96 cd /opt/webwork/webwork2 97 cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-dev 98 99 Merge changes from global.conf.dist, database.conf.dist, and 100 webwork.apache-config (if you are using Apache 1) or webwork.apache2-config (if 101 you are using Apache 2) into your configuration files. 102 103 Run bin/wwdb_upgrade -v to upgrade your database. If you receive errors about 104 modelCourse it is OK to go on -- modelCourse is not a real course. 105 106 If you are using the National Problem Library, the loadDB2 script in the 107 database_problems directory has been replaced with a new bin/NPL-update script 108 in the main webwork2 distribution. The problem library metadata is now stored 109 within the main webwork database. Run bin/NPL-update to load the problem 110 metadata into the its new location. It is safe to remove the separate 111 ProblemLibrary database. 112 113 Upgrading from 2.2.x 114 -------------------- 115 116 Make sure you are using the sql_single database layout for all the courses you 117 wish to continue to use. After you upgrade, courses using other database 118 layouts will be inaccessible. Move non-sql_single courses out of your courses 119 directory. 120 121 The standard directory layout of WeBWorK has changed since 2.2.x. We now suggest 122 that you place the webwork2 directory, as well as the pg, courses, and 123 libraries, directories in /opt/webwork rather than in /opt. 124 125 To update WeBWorK to exactly 2.4.1, use the following commands: 126 127 cd /opt/webwork/webwork2 128 cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-1 129 130 To update WeBWorK to the "tip" of the 2.4.x branch, which is mostly stable and 131 includes bug fixes and new features before they are officially released, use the 132 following commands: 133 134 cd /opt/webwork/webwork2 135 cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-dev 136 137 Merge changes from global.conf.dist, database.conf.dist, and 138 webwork.apache-config into your configuration files. 139 140 Run bin/wwdb_check -v to verify that your database is up-to-date for version 141 2.3.0 (the first version that included automated database upgrades). Then run 142 bin/wwdb_upgrade -v to upgrade to bring your database up-to-date for version 143 2.4.1. 144 145 Getting help 146 ------------ 147 148 The best place to get support is in the WeBWorK discussion forums located at: 149 http://webwork.maa.org/moodle/course/view.php?id=2 150 151 To report bugs: 152 http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/ 153 154 Lots of WeBWorK documentation: 155 http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/WeBWorKDocs 156
