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.

Potential Gotchya's

  • The RFT5746 error -- not all servers are up to date with a patch that fixes this exploit. It can cause errors on the newer firefox and chrome browsers
  • after updating go to the admin page and update at least one course
  • You may need to do shift reload on your browser a few times to get rid of cached javaScripts
  • 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 courses
