Download & Releases

3.6.1 (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 <b><u>click on this link and follow the instructions</u></b>.

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.

Release 3.6.1 has been released at March 23, 2006.

Release 3.6.1 is a bugfix release and does not contain new features compared to former 3.6 releases. Please read the 3.6.0 release report for information about major changes and new features. Unfortunately MySQL 5.0 is still not supported. We hope to get this done with 3.6.2.

Information about first time installation can be found here. Instructions for updating ILIAS can be found in section 3 of the general installation instructions. Please do not forget to run the DB Update Script within the Setup.

Known Issues

1. Text gap rating in cloze questions is not working

The rating of text gaps in cloze questions does only case insensitive checks even if case sensitive checks or checks with Levenshtein distance are selected.

To fix this bug, make a backup copy of the file assessment/classes/class.assClozeTest.php, then copy the attached file class.assClozeTest.php into the assessment/classes/ directory.

If you already have existing tests with wrong points calculations for text gaps and you want to correct these calculations, you either have to update your system with the current bugfix version from the CVS which contains a database update or you have to wait until ILIAS 3.6.2 is released.

2. Clicking on titles of file objects opens Info Screen instead of Download.

This behaviour has not been intended. The title should start the download directly, the Info button related to a file object leads to the Info Screen. To fix the behaviour, make a backup copy of file classes/class.ilObjFileAccess.php and copy the attached file into the ILIAS classes directory.
