15 | Changes since 2.4.0 |
|
|
16 | ------------------- |
|
|
17 | |
|
|
18 | * Fixed a "Duplicate entry" error that occurred when WeBWorK attempted to assign |
|
|
19 | a set to a user to whom it was already assigned, for example with the "Assign |
|
|
20 | Set to All Users" button. (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. |

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. |
