Keyword substitution: kv
Default branch: MAIN

- Replace terms: "Construction Space" with "Authoring Space"
  and: "Construction space" with "Authoring space"
  for consistency with type of role used to access it, and action taken there.

- &constructaccess() moved from loncacc.pm to lonnet.pm
  - to facilitate re-use, and separate from handler,
  - for use in lonnet.pm (use Apache::Constants() not supported there.

- Need to check machine ids not domains.

- Clean up for bug 1320.
  - &constructaccess() returns third item -- homeserver for Author Space.
  - &handler (for URLs starting /priv/) includes check that current server
    is home server.

- Update documentation
- Use lonDocRoot perlvar in place of static string: '/home/httpd/html'
- Coding style: eliminate leaning toothpicks.

Bug #1320: also take filename

Bug #1320

Saving my work on Bug #1320.

- Key in %env is 'user.update.time' not 'user.updateroles.time'.

- Bug 5932. Roles Screen usability improvements
  - When checking for DC access, or adhoc CA provs for DCs,
    use time of last role update check instead of log-in time.

- Bug 6373.
  - Do not change request.role, request.role.domain, request.course.sec
    when DC assumes ad hoc co-author role via "Edit resource" in a course.

- Fix typo.

Bug 5842.
 - "Edit this resource" link is displayed in inline menu if user is a DC in domain of resource author, and author has not blocked DC access to CSTR.
 - request for /priv/$author sets ad hoc co-author privs for user (if no existing privs) if user is a DC in author's CSTR, and if DC access is not blocked by author's user prefs.

&check_privs(), &set_privileges(), and &role_status() moved from lonroles.pm to lonnet.pm -- first two renamed as: check_adhoc_privs(), set_adhoc_privileges().

&is_active_dc() added to loncacc.pm to check if user has active DC role in resource author's domain.

Added/Converted POD comments

Added/modified POD documentation

- convert exisiting cookie reads/validations to use
   lonnet::check_for_valid_session

- errr meant to only commit lonracc.pm

- got the logic backwards

- conversion over to using helper er

- swithc to using helper cleaing functions and helper matchi re

- moving get_posted_cgi from loncommon to lonacc

- speeding up cstr access (this was cycling through everthing in %env twice per each domain on the machine)

Bug #4135: underprivileged "assistant co-author"
Part of Bug #1900: CUSR shows up for authors again

- ENV -> env

Eliminate requirement for Remote Control when entering Construction Space.

- miscommit on 1.35

- don't tell student 'Go Away' when an html page is closed
- allow CC to see closed content
   (BUG#3357)

- backporting support for CSTR on multidomained machines into 1.1.X

- BUG#2692, log spew

- backport 1.33 to 1.1.1 for installation on s17

- supporting authors on multidomain machines
  - this works, but requires that all users that author have unique usernames
    ( I.e. albertel@basement and albertel@annarbor will end up accessing the same /home/albertel/public_html)
- I plan on isntalling this on s17.lite.msu.edu to support the serway@brookscole user

Even better handling of bombs.

Setting content language in headers.

Initialize language handle

Bug #1636: co-author access had been denied.

Consolidate functions from access control handlers in order to eventually
add them also to lonuploadedacc.pm - preparation for running uploaded
problems.

- Perl 5.80 + mod_perl 2.0 + APache 2.0  really want the 0 in there

Inline "remote" embedded into page headers (design obviously not decided yet).
Auto-lauch good-ole Remote when entering construction space, there is just
no other way right now, and authors should be more "robust" than the average
user.

best wishes to all.

Remainder of fix for bug 262.  Do not allow editing of old versions of
resources in the construction space.

- the secret to winning the commit war is many small silly fixes

Better error message when failing to access construction space.

- use the new add_to_env command in loncommon, this way <select multiple> will work
