+Changes since 2.4.0
+-------------------
+
+* Fixed a "Duplicate entry" error that occurred when WeBWorK attempted to assign
+  a set to a user to whom it was already assigned, for example with the "Assign
+  Set to All Users" button. (Bug #1293)
+
+* Fixed a problem that occurred when viewing the set details for a set that had
+  not been assigned to any users.
+
+* Added the ability to unarchive .tar.gz and .tar files to the File Manager.
+
+* Worked around an IE bug in the File Manager where pressing return submits a
+  form but does not set the submit button's value properly in some
+  circumstances.
+
+* Fixed a problem where the "over time: closed." status message would appear in
+  incorrect circumstances in the problem set list.
+
+* Improved handling of textbook chapters and sections in the NPL-update script.
+
+* Improved handling in the NPL-update script for problems which are tagged to a
+  chapter, but not to a particular section in the chapter.
+
+* Show the numbers for textbook chapters and sections in the Library Browser.
+
+* Improve speed of browsing the National Problem Library in the Library Browser.
+
+* Ignore .svn directories when browsing file-based problem libraries in the
+  Library browser.
+
+* Extended the set definition file format to support commas in the source_file,
+  value, and max_attempts fields. Literal commas and backslashes are backslash-
+  escaped.

+Installation & Upgrade
+----------------------
+
+Comprehensive installation and upgrade instructions are located at:
+http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/InstallationManualV2pt4
+
+Read the sections below for specific information about upgrading from various
+versions of WeBWorK.
+
+Upgrading from 2.4.0
+--------------------
+
+Before beginning, back up your WeBWorK database and course directories.
+
+To update WeBWorK to exactly 2.4.1, use the following commands:
+
+cd /opt/webwork/webwork2
+cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-1
+
+To update WeBWorK to the "tip" of the 2.4.x branch, which is mostly stable and
+includes bug fixes and new features before they are officially released, use the
+following commands:
+
+cd /opt/webwork/webwork2
+cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-dev
+
+If you are using the National Problem Library, re-run bin/NPL-update to update
+the database format to the latest version.
+
+No database changes occurred between 2.4.0 and 2.4.1, so running bin/wwdb_upgrade
+is not necessary. No configuration file changes occurred between 
+
+Upgrading from 2.3.x
+--------------------
+
+Before beginning, back up your WeBWorK database and course directories.
+
+To update WeBWorK to exactly 2.4.1, use the following commands:
+
+cd /opt/webwork/webwork2
+cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-1
+
+To update WeBWorK to the "tip" of the 2.4.x branch, which is mostly stable and
+includes bug fixes and new features before they are officially released, use the
+following commands:
+
+cd /opt/webwork/webwork2
+cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-dev
+
+Merge changes from global.conf.dist, database.conf.dist, and
+webwork.apache-config (if you are using Apache 1) or webwork.apache2-config (if
+you are using Apache 2) into your configuration files.
+
+Run bin/wwdb_upgrade -v to upgrade your database. If you receive errors about
+modelCourse it is OK to go on -- modelCourse is not a real course.
+
+If you are using the National Problem Library, the loadDB2 script in the
+database_problems directory has been replaced with a new bin/NPL-update script
+in the main webwork2 distribution. The problem library metadata is now stored
+within the main webwork database. Run bin/NPL-update to load the problem
+metadata into the its new location. It is safe to remove the separate
+ProblemLibrary database.
+
+Upgrading from 2.2.x
+--------------------
+
+Make sure you are using the sql_single database layout for all the courses you
+wish to continue to use. After you upgrade, courses using other database
+layouts will be inaccessible. Move non-sql_single courses out of your courses
+directory.
+
+The standard directory layout of WeBWorK has changed since 2.2.x. We now suggest
+that you place the webwork2 directory, as well as the pg, courses, and
+libraries, directories in /opt/webwork rather than in /opt.
+
+To update WeBWorK to exactly 2.4.1, use the following commands:
+
+cd /opt/webwork/webwork2
+cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-1
+
+To update WeBWorK to the "tip" of the 2.4.x branch, which is mostly stable and
+includes bug fixes and new features before they are officially released, use the
+following commands:
+
+cd /opt/webwork/webwork2
+cvs -q up -dP -rrel-2-4-dev
+
+Merge changes from global.conf.dist, database.conf.dist, and
+webwork.apache-config into your configuration files.
+
+Run bin/wwdb_check -v to verify that your database is up-to-date for version
+2.3.0 (the first version that included automated database upgrades). Then run
+bin/wwdb_upgrade -v to upgrade to bring your database up-to-date for version
+2.4.1.
