3.4.0 Beta 2

Please note that this release includes a fix concerning the permission settings of tests and surveys. In former releases it has been possible to access tests and surveys with "visible" permission only. This has been fixed now. Please check if your test and survey objects have set the appropriate permissions.

• Pushing objects on Personal Desktop of users, e.g. every member of role USER gets an introduction module on the PD at first login (by Stefan Meyer).

• New object type "External resource" for adding links to external web pages in the repository (by Databay AG)

• Client specific user agreements (Alex Killing)

• Edit roles inside repository (Stefan Meyer)

• Enhancements to user import facility:
  - Provide a choice for handling conflicts between actions specified in the user data XML file and the contents of the ILIAS database: "Ignore on conflict", "Update on conflict".
  (by Werner Randelshofer, FH Zentralschweiz)

• Paste media objects from clipboard into media pool (Alex Killing)

• Thumbnails for media objects in media pool, clipboard and internal link list; This feature simplifies the re-use of existing media objects for authors.

• Spreadsheet import (Alex Killing)

• Easy page link feature that offers you the correct URL to address a page in ILIAS from outside (Alex Killing)

• Resizing of images in editor; Images that shall be displayed in a smaller size than the original one are already resized by ILIAS and no longer by your browser. This reduces the necessary bandwidth for transmitting a page with resized images. (Alex Killing)
