-<H3> Release notes for Moodle 1.0.6</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.<BR><BR>
-
-<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 categorised database, and may be "published" to other courses.<BR><BR>
-
-<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.<BR><BR>
-
-<DT> New feature - LDAP authentication!
-<DD> Moodle can now authenticate against external directories that use the
- LDAP protocol (including Novell etc). Many thanks to Petri Asikainen for
- developing this authentication plug-in!<BR><BR>
-
-<DT> New feature - New smilies
-<DD> Many new smilies have been added, and are now also accessible using a GUI in the text editor.<BR><BR>
-
-<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.<BR><BR>
-
-<DT> Languages
-<DD> German and Italian have been added! Many thanks to the translators (see the credits).<BR><BR>
-
-<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><BR><BR>
- <FONT COLOR=RED>Note: if upgrading to 1.0.6 you may have some "reading" errors in "Recent activity" ... logging
- out and then logging in again will fix this</FONT><BR><BR>
-
-<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.<BR><BR>
