New in Moodle 1.0.6.3 (14th November, 2002) :

Bug fix for no-name forums.: New sites created with 1.0.6.2 had some forums appearing with no -names (for example the News forum on the home page). A workaround -is to add a new activity to that section (all the names will be -refreshed), but this release will fix it too.
New languages!: Catalan and Spanish (Spain) translations have arrived!
Some display improvements for old Netscape browsers (headers and -quizzes)
Guest language now ALWAYS the same as the current site language
"Recent Activity" can now be disabled completely if desired
For very large classes (larger than 500) participant list is not -displayed

New in Moodle 1.0.6.2 (11th November, 2002) :

Course formatting improvements: The weekly and topic formats now have an extra "general" area up -the top where "general" activities are listed - these are things that -apply throughout the course, not just to one particular topic or week. -This general area is not shown if it is completely empty.
Popup "jump" menu.: You can now jump from one activity directly to any other using a -popup menu in the upper-right corner of the page
Speed improvements: Course activity details are now cached for each course, which -greatly reduces the amount of database access required to display the -course page. On heavily accessed systems this should improve speed.
Languages: Surveys are now completely translatable.
Admin improvements: Paging was added to the user admin page, so that the admin can -now browse large numbers of users.
Fixes and tweaks: Various other small improvements to formatting

New in Moodle 1.0.6.1 (6th November, 2002) :

New assignment type: offline assignments

In addition to "upload a file" assignments, you can now have -"offline" assignments. These don't require the student to do anything -online. They are useful for grading activities that are not on in -Moodle, and a also useful for adding "manual" columns to the grade -page.

Languages

Spanish (Mexican) has been added to the distribution. Other -languages have various improvements.

SMTP authentication

SMTP mail now supports SMTP username and password if needed

Documentation

Some parts rewritten, and documentation cleaned up (upgrade info -now part of main docs)

Other fixes

Better checking on teachers using "loginas" to stop them -roaming other courses as a student
While using "loginas", teachers can return to their own -identity using a link in the footer
Some strings fixed in assignments, journals, and forums.
Guest language is now the same as the site
etc.

New in Moodle 1.0.6 (26th October, 2002) :

New feature - WYSIWYG Text editing!

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.

New feature - Quiz module!

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.

New feature - Grade manager!

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.

New feature - LDAP authentication!

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!

New feature - New smilies

Many new smilies have been added, and are now also accessible -using a GUI in the text editor.

Improved text editing

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.

Languages

German and Italian have been added! Many thanks to the -translators (see the credits).

Reading module => Resource module

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: -

Redirect /mod/reading http://yourserver.com/mod/resource

- 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

Other additions

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.

Miscellaneous

Many small improvements have been made to the interface, and many -small bugs have been fixed. Some examples: -

Big "Edit this page" buttons at the top of pages (replacing -the tiny icon)
LDAP authentication module (thanks to Petri)
Authentication from external sources can now import any fields
Student assignment list now shows submission status properly
Default language for users is now the site language
Users have a 'Change Password' button on their profile page
Journals that need teacher feedback are highlighted
More documentation and more context help buttons
Database-specific upgrade code
Uses character-set codes to make the browser do the right -thing
User's name in footer is now a link
News and social forums are now editable
Forums that don't allow posting don't have uneccessary -"discuss" links
Improved algorithm for shortening posts in forum listings
Choice module now allows up to six choices

Older releases can be seen in the Moodle.com -announcement forum.
