Important note for Updates: Instructions for updating ILIAS can be found in section 3 of the general installation instructions. For major updates (e.g. 3.5.x -> 3.6.x) the safest proceeding is, to upgrade a copy of your productive system first and test whether everything works ok.

Known Issues

1. Saving Java Applet Question results adds up the reached points for every time a user sends the solution

Any time a user solves a Java Applet Question, the resulting points are added. This leads to more than 100% of available points.

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

Please note that this patch file could be applied not only for ILIAS 3.6.6! You could apply it as well for the ILIAS versions 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.6.4 and 3.6.5
