<h3>Nouveaut&eacute;s de Moodle 1.2 <font color="#00CC33">B&eacute;ta</font> (24 f&eacute;vrier 2004)</h3>
<ul>
<p>This Beta release is a <strong>test release</strong>. Many sites are already using it in production, but it will have some cosmetic bugs, missing documentation and other small problems (some we know about, some we don't). Please help us find all of these and fix them before the final polished release of Moodle 1.2 in early March. The best way to do this is to file a bug report on <a href="http://moodle.org/bugs/">http://moodle.org/bugs/</a></p>
