<h3>Version 1.5 - February 2005</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>This release contains a lot of structural improvements and refactoring in key modules. It also includes many interface improvements. Some highlights include:</p>
<p>Moodle 1.5 aims to make Moodle fully compliant with important web accessibility standards such as WAI (W3C), SENDA (UK) and Section 508 (US).</p>
<p>The display code will conform to XHTML Transitional 1.0, and the CSS has also been cleaned up and extended to give designers more complete control over the look and feel of their sites. This release will not yet use templates. </p>
<p>There is also a long list of new features such as: </p>
<ul>
<li>New <strong>Enrolments</strong> architecture allows all manner of new automated enrolment processes. Included are a Paypal system (for paid courses) with instant access, arbitrary external database usage, parsing of flatfiles dumped from legay systems and so on.</li>
<li>Improved <strong>Resource</strong> handling with a new one step process and better control over display format. New resource types can be developed as plugins. </li>
<li>Refactored <strong>Quiz</strong> module allows new question types as plugins. A new question type called Calculated Questions allows questions to be presented uniquely to each student.</li>
<li><strong>Chat</strong> module now supports an optional chat daemon as a backend, providing near-instant response to hundreds of users. </li>
<li>Improved <strong>Glossary</strong> module makes it easier to develop new glossary formats. </li>
<li>Improved Backup handles the translation of user content (such as links) better than ever. </li>
<li>Improved SCORM module handling an ever-wider range of SCORM content. </li>
<li>Improved interfaces for adding students, course creators and administrators. </li>
<li> Integrated instant Messaging feature for direct communication</li>
<li>Big improvements to the Quiz module, including: paged quizzes with a certain number of questions per page; improved interface for building quizzes; heirarchical question categories; </li>
<li>New block format, allowing multiple copies of blocks and better block configuration (old third-party blocks need to be upgraded, see the docs in the blocks directory) </li>
<li>Extended LDAP integration, so that LDAP can now control course creation, group assignments, user synchronisation etc</li>
<li>Certain user fields can be locked by the admin </li>
<li>Improved uploading, with support for automated Virus scanning of new documents using ClamAV.</li>
<li> Streamlined interface for the Workshop and Lesson modules </li>
<li> New Tidy filter to convert all user-supplied texts into XHTML</li>
<li> PAM authentication module</li>
<li> Sessions can now be stored in the database (useful for Moodle clusters)</li>
<li>Site Policy Agreements for users </li>
<li>Many other improvements and bug fixes </li>
</ul>
