Hi, some problem is still there I think:

Sorry, the machine speaks french, but basically there is still some old jboss thing hanging in the debian script.

Also, I got 2.4 installed (files data aug 15 2012), and I don't know actually if your official distribution right now (March 2014) includes some packages of interest (bug fixes + language strings).

How could I know the exact subversion of LAMS ?

Btw Any ETA for LAMS 2.4.1 or 2.5 yet ?

- greetings - Daniel

Hi Daniel,

My apologies for the late reply.

2.4.1 will now be known as 2.5 as we are packing ground changing features within it.

We've been having a lot of activity lately in the development side.

Recently a cross-site scripting issues was brought up and that required to change a lot of code within LAMS to protect from these kind of attacks.

This has throw thing a bit off the original plan which was to release LAMS 2.5 within a month.

Also, I'm yet to put the final release notes for 2.5 but there a quite a lot of new cool features

* New Flashless monitor UI.
* Improved Flashless learner UI (it looks just like the old Flash one, but no Flash).
* New redesigned index page.
* Support for mobile devices in quite a few LAMS activities (unfortunately not all yet).
* Pretty much all tools monitoring interface have been improved.
* Two new activities: Scratchie and Leader tools (more on these shortly).
* Ability to move students backwards in a lesson (get them to redo activities).
* and hundreds more...

Once we are getting closer to the final version, building the installers would be pretty straight forward as they won't have major "under-the-hood" upgrades as with 2.4, but rather feature improvements this time.

We are currently working on Flashless Authoring and it looks quite nice, but I don't think this feature will cut it for 2.5 though.

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi Daniel,

I realized that I didn't answer your question though :-)

> How could I know the exact subversion of LAMS ?

Check out in the sysadmin menu, in the "Edit config settings", there's a whole bunch of versions (UIs mainly).

The format should be 2.4.0.{date}


More accurately than this would be to check out the patches table in the db:

select * from patches;

Thanks

Ernie

Thanx :)

Now for those lazy guys who didn't apply the big official 2.4 patches for a while (all were published in spring 2013), read

http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lams/Patches

If you have a standard Ubuntu install, copy/paste if you are not afraid:

http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/LAMS_installation_and_configuration#Small_LAMS_patches

... it's worth the trouble.
