   16 Introduction
   17 
   18    The [7]WeBWorK Team is pleased to announce the release of [8]WeBWorK
   19    2.0 Preview Release 3. While it is intended primarily for testing,
   20    development, and evaluation of the new system, it is also suitable for
   21    use in live courses.
   22 
   23    This release includes almost all of the functionality of WeBWorK 1.9,
   24    and contains new functionality beyond what it possible with 1.9. New
   25    features since [9]PreviewRelease2 include:
   26 
   27      * improvements in speed and efficiency
   28      * many user interface enhancements
   29      * improved course creation procedure
   30      * "remember me" cookie actually works
   31      * installation documentation improvements
   32      * many bug fixes
   33 
   34 Availability
   35 
   36    The complete system is distributed as two tarballs. One for the
   37    WeBWorK system itself, and one for the PG system, including a standard
   38    set of PG modules and macro files.

   71 
   72    Submit bug reports and feature requests at
   73    [21]http://bugs.webwork.rochester.edu/. We can't fix bugs and add

   75 
   76 Patches
   77 
   78    While we welcome patches of any sort, by patching against the latest
   79    CVS code, you save us and yourself time. A bug in Preview Release 3
   80    may be fixed in CVS, and we can more easily handle patches against the
   81    latest code. Check out the latest development version from CVS and
   82    patch against that. Consult the [22]WeBWorKCVS topic for more
   83    information.
