<H3> Release notes for Moodle 1.0.6 beta 1</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P> Major changes in this release (since 1.0.5): </P>
|
|
|
|
<UL><DL>
|
|
<DT> New feature - WYSIWYG Text editing!
|
|
<DD> A WYSIWYG text editor has been added to many of the forms in Moodle. These are currently
|
|
only visible when using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later - other browsers see the
|
|
normal forms exactly as before.
|
|
|
|
<DT> New feature - Quiz module!
|
|
<DD> Finally, the most requested new module is here! Multiple choice, short answer, and true-false
|
|
questions with automatic marking, multiple attempts, teacher regrading and many other features.
|
|
Questions are stored in a catagorised database, and may be "published" to other courses.
|
|
|
|
<DT> New feature - Grade manager!
|
|
<DD> A new tool has been added for teachers to see all grades for a course on one page.
|
|
You can also download/export grades as a tab-separated text file or an Excel
|
|
Spreadsheet. In future more features will be added to this page like sorting, manual
|
|
columns and calculations, but it's still pretty useful right now.
|
|
|
|
<DT> New feature - New smilies
|
|
<DD> Many new smilies have been added, and are now also accessible using a GUI in the text editor.
|
|
|
|
<DT> Improved text editing
|
|
<DD> You can now include all major HTML tags in all texts. This is now safe because
|
|
of newly added functionality that strips all Javascript and faulty tags from texts
|
|
before they can cause security or display problems.
|
|
|
|
<DT> Languages
|
|
<DD> German and Italian have been added! Many thanks to the translators (see the credits).
|
|
|
|
<DT> Reading module => Resource module
|
|
<DD> After much thought and a vote of support (21 "yes" to 6 "no") on the "Using Moodle"
|
|
web site I changed the name of the "reading" module to "resource" (at the code level
|
|
and also the language packs). It was better to do this earlier than later.
|
|
This more generic name will be more meaningful to more people and opens the way to
|
|
some real development on a resource library.
|
|
But I don't want to ever change a module name again! :-)
|
|
If you have any hard-coded URLs pointing to readings that you don't want to break,
|
|
you can add a line like this to your Apache httpd.conf to redirect them:
|
|
<B><CODE>Redirect /mod/reading http://yourserver.com/mod/resource</CODE></B>
|
|
|
|
<DT> Other additions
|
|
<DD> An admin script to totally delete the Moodle data directory has been included (admin/delete.php)
|
|
for people who need to tear down a Moodle installation but don't have root access on their
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
<DT> Miscellaneous
|
|
<DD> Many small improvements have been made to the interface, and many small bugs have been fixed.
|
|
Some examples:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> Big "Edit this page" buttons at the top of pages (replacing the tiny icon)
|
|

|
|

|
|
<LI> Student assignment list now shows submission status properly

|
|
<LI> Users have a 'Change Password' button on their profile page
|
|
