Introduction

The WeBWorKTeam is pleased to announce the release of PG 2.2.1. This release builds on PG 2.2.0, adding several bug fixes and low-impact feature enhancements.

  • Change check for zero from fuzzy check to strict check (when the problem used absolute tolerances, in particular, this can cause big problems).
  • Fixed a bug in variable_cmp caused by changes to AnswerChecker.
  • Fixed a problem with ans_array processing caused by an autovivfied context field in Value objects.
  • Fixed a bug that caused an error when a Complex1 object was passed to the answer checker for complex numbers.
  • Fixed a problem where a pink screen error was produced if a student entered a vector-valued formula rather than a constant vector when parallel answers are being checked and the student used the Preview button to submit the answer.
