Introduction

This release fixes two bugs in WeBWorK 2.0.

  1. When course databases were upgraded, sets, but not problems, were assigned to the global user. This caused sets appear to be empty when it was assigned to a user after the upgrade. Bugzilla bugs #611 and #614 are related to this issue.
  2. The date calculation routines before() and after(), used to compare the current time to the set dates, were not inclusive.

Fixing courses upgraded with WeBWorK 2.0

To fix corruption of courses upgraded with WeBWorK 2.0:

  1. Log into the course with WeBWorK 1.9 and delete the global user (usually called global_user).
  2. Log into the course with WeBWorK 2.0.1. You will be prompted to upgrade the database. Do so.
  3. If you had assigned sets to any users with WeBWorK 2.0, unassign and reassign the sets to each user.
