Version 2.5.0
Copyright 2000-2011, The WeBWorK Project
All rights reserved.
Details
-------
Release date: ??
SVN tag: rel-2-5-0
SVN url/branch: expected address--- http://svn.webwork.maa.org/system/trunk module
Modules: webwork2 pg
IMPORTANT!! Be sure to inspect changes in the configuration files when upgrading to this release.
ALWAYS check the error log (often at) webwork/webwork2/logs/error_log when something goes wrong
--- there may be extra error information there. An alternate location is /var/log/apache/error_log
New features 2.4.9
- The new Library Browser 2 -- try it out -- will still need some graphic design tweaks.
- When creating a new homework set it is automatically assigned to the instructor creating it. You are no longer asked for permission. This prevents other extraneous errors that would sometimes occur later if the set is viewed before being assigned to someone.
Under the hood
- The names "published" and "unpublished" have been changed to "visible" and "hidden" throughout the code. Having the terms in the application code different than those presented to the user was eventually going to cause trouble (when the original programmers moved on :-) )
- This causes one potential problem because a column in the database also needs to be changed from published to visible.
Potential Gotchya's
- The RFT5746 warning message -- not all servers are up to date with a patch that fixes this exploit. Some of the newer browsers display this message. I've been mislead into thinking that it was the cause of the problem when in fact the message is only a warning. It is a security error so the maintainer of the apache server should install patches to fix it.
- After updating go to the admin page and update at least one course. This insures that the "depths" table and the "locations_address" table are created properly.
- If your browser hangs or seems to be behaving in a funny way you may need to do "shift reload" on your browser a few times to get rid of cached javaScripts which are causing trouble.
- be sure to go to admin and update courses
- need to add a method or a script to automatically switch published column to visible in course. That will cure these errors.
