3.7.4 (stable)

Very important notes for MySQL 4.1.x users:

If you update from ILIAS 3.4.0 or 3.4.1 and already used MySQL 4.1.x: Due to a problem in the UTF-8 handling some extra update steps are necessary. Please click here and follow the instructions.

If you just plan to update from MySQL 4.0.x to MySQL 4.1.x please read our Migrating from MySQL 4.0.x to MySQL 4.1.x instructions.

Information about first time installation can be found here. Support for MySQL 3.23.x is not included anymore.

Important note for Updates: Instructions for updating ILIAS can be found in section 3 of the general installation instructions. For major updates (e.g. 3.6.x -> 3.7.x) the safest proceeding is, to upgrade a copy of your productive system first and test whether everything works ok.

Known Issues

1. Wrong Parameter Count Warning in Learning Modules (PHP4 only)

To fix this problem, make a backup copy of file content/classes/Pages/class.ilPageObjectGUI.php, then download the following patch file and copy it into directory content/classes/Pages.

2. No Access to the Test Evaluation

Adding additional security checks for ILIAS 3.7.4 led to the problem that no one is able to access the test evaluation. To fix this problem, make a backup copy of file assessment/classes/class.ilTestEvaluationGUI.php, then download the following patch file and copy it into the directory assessment/classes to overwrite the existing file.

3. Evaluation of anonymized surveys isn't anonymized

When a survey is set to anonymization it is possible to view the participants names in the detailed user evaluation. To fix this issue, please make a backup of survey/classes/class.ilObjSurvey.php, then download the following patch file class.ilObjSurvey.php and copy it into the survey/classes directory to overwrite the existing file.

4. Varying random test patch
Due to a wrong security patch in ILIAS 3.7.3 ILIAS fails to load the correct questions for a participant in passes > 0 of varying random tests. This results in incorrect points for the participants. To fix this issue, please make a backup of assessment/classes/class.ilObjTest.php, then download the following patch file class.ilObjTest.php and copy it into the assessment/classes directory to overwrite the existing file.

5. Assessment and Survey security patch
The following patch fixes a security issue in assessments and surveys. If a user knows the full URL to a question pool and he/she has no read access to the questionpool, he/she is able to get read access. To fix this issue, please make a backup of assessment/classes/class.ilObjTestGUI.php, assessment/classes/class.ilObjQuestionPoolGUI.php, survey/classes/class.ilObjSurveyGUI.php, survey/classes/class.ilObjSurveyQuestionPoolGUI.php, then download the following patch file assessment_survey_security_patch.zip, copy it into the ILIAS root directory and unzip the files to overwrite the existing files.

6. Security patch for anonymous survey evaluation access

This fix patches a security issue which granted survey evaluation access to anonymous users even if they did not have access. See Mantis Bug #2673.

To fix this, please download the following patch file and unzip it. It contains the files class.ilObjSurveyAccess.php.php and class.ilSurveyEvaluationGUI.php. Please make a backup copy of the existing files survey/classes/class.ilSurveyEvaluationGUI.php and survey/classes/class.ilObjSurveyAccess.php on your installation, then copy the patch files to the directory survey/classes to overwrite the existing files.

Fixed Bugs

• Test & Assessment: Fixed an issue in the output of the remaining working time for a test when fixed working time is enabled (2006-11-02, Helmut Schottmüller)

• Survey: Fixed creation of survey question constraints. It was impossible to create constraints due to a wrong database query (2006-11-08, Helmut Schottmüller)

• Survey: Fixed output of survey questions. The question text was always formatted as bold text which is not conform with the HTML enabled question text since ILIAS 3.7.0. The bold formatting was removed (2006-11-08, Helmut Schottmüller)

• Survey: Fixed an issue with anonymized surveys without survey access code. If a participating user is a registered user, he/she could run the survey multiple times. For registered users this isn't possible any longer (2006-11-08, Helmut Schottmüller)

• Survey: Fixed output of survey access codes to support the system limit of table rows shown on the screen. This helps to prevent performance issues when a lot of survey access codes have been generated (2006-11-09, Helmut Schottmüller)

• Survey: Fixed corrupt check of "participate" RBAC permission to participate in a survey. Added security fix for surveys (2006-11-15, Helmut Schottmüller)
