3.4.4 (stable)

Very important notes for MySQL 4.1.x users:

If you update from ILIAS 3.4.0 or 3.4.1: 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>.

Please note that this release includes a change of the permission settings of tests and surveys. In releases before 3.4.0_beta2 it has been possible to access tests and surveys with "visible" permission only. This has been fixed in 3.4.0_beta2. Please check if your test and survey objects have set the appropriate permissions.

This release contains no new features. All features of the 3.4 releases are listed in the 3.4.0 release report. ILIAS 3.4.4 contains the following bug fixes:

• Fixed Mantis bug #661: importing a file named 'X.zip', it's left on data directory, wrong import. Now all import files which are temporary uploaded by ILIAS when importing Tests, Questionpools, Surveys or Survey Questionpools are deleted after calling the import function in ILIAS (Helmut Schottmüller, 2005-07-20)

• Fixed Mantis bug #967: crash message when accesing a test without questions. Removing questions from already subscribed tests did not remove the tests from the users personal desktop. When the user tried to execute the test he/she got an error. Now an error message is displayed that the test is not accessable (Helmut Schottmüller, 2005-07-15)

• Fixed Mantis bug #998: Survey header shown even if not surveys online at all. When incomplete surveys exist a normal user is not able to see these surveys but he/she sees the surveys category in the repository and a message that there are no surves available. This was confusing and is removed now (Helmut Schottmüller, 2005-07-15)

• Fixed Mantis bug #1035: Exporting test questions creates duplicate files. When no checkbox or more than one checkbox was checked, ILIAS called the raiseError method. This method re-opens the last valid page with all it's parameters. When an export file was created prior to this error, the page was called again and the export file was created for a second time (Helmut Schottmüller, 2005-07-15)

• Fixed Mantis bug #1058: Wrong umlauts in Download visiting card. The format for visiting card (VCARD) files is now set to ISO-8859-1 which works with Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and as well Apple Addressbook (Helmut Schottmüller, 2005-07-15)

• Fixed Mantis bug #1071: invalid QTI Export. There were some upper-/lowercase problems and some order problems in Test&Assessment QTI export files. All test and questionpool export files are now validated against the QTI ASI 1.2.1 DTD. Old export files which are not conform with that DTD will be still read by ILIAS (Helmut Schottmüller, 2005-07-05)

• Fixed Mantis bug #1072: Questions in question pools have been destroyed (Test & Assessment). There was a bug during questionpool or question import or duplication when there was media integrated with the ILIAS content editor. When a question is duplicated or imported, a reference for integrated media is created. Inserting questions in tests duplicates the question and creates a new reference for the integrated media. Removing questions from tests decreases the reference counter by 1. When the last instance is deleted, the media will be deleted from ILIAS. Unfortunately the media reference counter wasn't increased on duplication which caused a fatal error when a duplicated or imported question was removed from a test and the original question was accessed (Helmut Schottmüller, 2005-07-06)

• Fixed Mantis bug #1076: Matching questions are shown in the correct order to the user. With shuffle enabled, only the terms of matching questions were shuffled. The definitions/pictures have been always displayed in creation order. Now even definitions/pictures are shuffled (Helmut Schottmüller, 2005-07-15)

• Fixed Mantis bug #1080: Unable to access object using a link as Anonymous. Direct links to anonymous survey were not working correctly. This was caused due to a wrong redirect statement in the survey source code
