Introduction
- The [8]WeBWorKTeam is pleased to announce the release of WeBWorK 2.1.
- This release includes new functionality and enhancements to the user
- interface, database system, and PG language:
-
- * New sql_single database layout, for more efficient access to SQL
- databases.
- * New [9]mathematical-expression parser (for use in writing PG
- problems).
- * New File Manager module provides full access to course files.
- (Will replace File Xfer module in a future release.)
- * New Problem Set Detail module allows editing of set data (dates,
- headers), editing of problems (source file, value, etc.), and
- reordering of problems.
- * Improvements to jsMath display mode.
- * Many usability and cosmetic improvements.
- * Many bugfixes.
+ This is a test prerelease of the upcoming WeBWorK 2.2. It contains
+ numerous improvements over WeBWorK 2.1.3. Some changes are as follows:
- (Contributiors: please feel free to add anything I've forgotten.)
+ Removal of deprecated database layouts: The gdbm and sql database
+ layouts have been removed. If you have existing courses that use
+ either of these database layouts, you must convert them to use the
+ sql_single database layout before upgrading. Please consult
+ [1]InstallationManualV2pt2#Before_you_upgrade for more information.
+
+ Gateway testing: allows a user to complete multiple versions of a
+ problem set. The instructor can optionally specify restrictions on
+ how often a new version can be viewed, how long a user has to
+ complete a version, and whether a proctor is required to
+ authenticate before a version is completed.
+
+ jsMath 3.0: See
+ [2]http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/changes.html for details.
+
+ Status system: The status system maps status names (like
+ "Enrolled", "Drop", "Audit") to a list of behaviors the system
+ should have when dealing with users who have the status. (For
+ example, users who are auditing the course are allowed to log in
+ and are included in assignments, but are not included in scoring.)
+ See comments in global.conf for more information.
+
+ Additional permissions: can_always_use_show_old_answers_default,
+ can_show_old_answers_by_default, download_hardcopy_format_pdf,
+ manage_course_files, proctor_quiz, view_problem_debugging_info,
+ view_proctored_tests.
+
+ Hardcopy rewrite: Faster, smaller memory footprint, better error
+ handling.
+
+ Course Configuration module: Allows web-based configuration of
+ commonly-modified settings.
+
+ User Detail module: Replaces "Sets assigned to user" module, allows
+ customization of open/due/answer dates as well as
+ assigning/unassigning sets.
+
+ Login and activity logs: Detailed login success and failure
+ information is logged to the login log. The activity log logs each
+ request issued to the WeBWorK system (if configured).
+
+ Feedback improvements: Subject line is now customizable. User, set,
+ and problem record information is now printed in a more readable
+ format.
+
+ File Manager improvements: Show dates and sizes of files, provide
+ better control over renaming of uploaded files whose names already
+ exist, allow the creation or gzipped tar archives from files in the
+ course directory, follow symbolic links that are to files or
+ directories within the course hierarchy (and outside of the course
+ directory, if configured).
+
+ And of course, many UI improvements and bug fixes.

Installation
- Documentation on installing and configuring WeBWorK is available in
- the [13]InstallationManualV2pt1. If you are upgrading an existing
- installation, be sure to read the section [14]Upgrading an existing
- WeBWorK installation.
-
- Using the new 'sql_single' database layout
-
- The new sql_single database layout stores the data for all courses
- using the layout in a single database, reducing the number of
- connections that need to be made to the SQL server and eliminates the
- need for database to be created and deleted as courses are created and
- deleted. It also adds indexing to data tables, improving system speed.
-
- To learn more about the database options available in WeBWorK 2.1,
- including the sql_single layout, consult the [15]Database
- configuration section of [16]InstallationManualV2pt1 and the
- [17]DatabaseLayoutManual.
-
- Before creating courses using the sql_single layout (or converting
- existing courses), you must [18]create a single database and grant
- access to it.
-
- We suggest that you convert all courses using the sql database layout
- to use sql_single instead and add indexing to converted courses.
- Instructions are available in the [19]CourseAdministrationManual.
+ Installation instructions are available from
+ [6]InstallationManualV2pt2.
-Help
+ If you are upgrading, please read the section [7]Upgrading WeBWorK,
+ paying special attention to the subsections [8]Before you upgrade and
+ [9]Making changes for the new release.
- If you need help installing or using WeBWorK 2.1, consult
- [20]WeBWorKDocs and [21]WeBWorKFAQs.
