The WeBWorK Team is pleased to announce the release of WeBWorK 2.0 Preview Release 2. While it
is intended primarily for testing, development, and evaluation of the new system, it is also suitable for use in live courses.
This release includes almost all of the functionality of
WeBWorK 1.9, and contains new functionality beyond what it possible
with 1.9. New features since Preview Release 1 include:
- implementation of a complete set of instructor tools
- user, set, and problem editing
- mail merge
- scoring
- statistics
- "act as student" feature
- hundreds of bug fixes
- many optimizations (esp. in database code)
- fast image generation (using dvipng)
- attempt logging and viewing
- SQL database support
- support for optional cookie-based authentication
- automatic guest login
- preliminary support for remote PG rendering
This is by no means a complete list. The long stretch of time between
Preview Release 1 and this release has made compiling a changelog
difficult.
