- Bug 6979.
  "View As" form in Functions menu includes domain dropdown list if users in
  course are from more than one domain. Use course's environment.db to store
  comma separated list of unique domains to which course users belong.

- Fix typo introduced in rev. 1.36

- Extend "zero enrollment failsafe" mechanism so it can also (optionally)
  protect against unwanted drops if partial data retrieved from institutional
  source for specific institutional section.

- Support customization in localenroll.pm to eliminate ambiguity in extraction
  of institutional section from institutional course section for automated
  enrollment.

- Bug 5464
    Can set failsafe value in domain (or override in Auto-enrollment course
    configuration to avoid unwanted dropping of students when no data are
    retrieved for a particular inststitutional section.

- Set institutional status when auto-enrollment adds a new LON-CAPA user.
- Store credits earned for a course in classlist.db for students for whom
  credits are different from course default.
- Credits can be part of XML record for each student in course roster
  retrieved from institutional data course via customized localenroll.pm

- Protect regexp inside \Q\E.
- Simplified args in call to Enrollment::update_LC().
- use lonnet::coursedescription to retrieve course enrollment settings.

- Two renamings from $settings to $domsettings omitted in rev 1.30.

- Rename hash ref: $settings as $domsettings (clarifies distinction from %settings).
- Set $env{'form.can_reply'} to N so if an e-mail message is generated when a LON-CAPA message is sent to recipients in notifylist, it will include a "Do not reply" message.

Forgot the &mt().

- Use lonnet::coursedescription() to extract cnum from cid instead of using custom regexp.

Changes to notification messages sent as a result of enrollment changes:
- sender set to value in domain preferences (if one set).
- recipients recorded in nohist_emailrecip db
- courseid included in message
- storage of duplicate messages in set mail folder eliminated

Running of Autoenroll.pl and display of "Automated Enrollment Manager" link on ENRL menu now controlled by domain configuration setting.

Localization for text
 - sent to screen (if enrollment changes resulted from running "Update Roster Now"), or
 - logged to autoenroll.log log file (if changes resulted from running Autoenroll.pl).

Fix bug 5162.
- Now parts of a notification e-mail sent in response to changes caused by running Autoenroll.pl will be translated into the default language of the domain, when lonmsg::sendnotification() is executed.

Bug 5123.  $env{user.name} used when sending notification e-mail was user:domain for course owners with username and domain. Now fixed and backwards compatibility retained.

- lonnet still has a need for loncommon in a few cases

Autoenroll.pl should only perform auto-enrollment in standard courses.  Documentation corrected in batchcoursecreate.pm.

&coursegroups() and &get_group_settings() moved to longroup.pm, which contains general utility functions for asking about groups.  Also contains &group_changes() which is used to add/drop group memberships as a result of role changes, as determined by group settings for auto-add and auto-drop. 'none' and 'all' are now reserved words which may not be used as section or group names, so they can be used instead of _all and _none  when specifying auto-add and auto-drop settings for all sections or no section roles.

- style police

Use ':' as separator between username and domain instead of '@' in notifylist but retain backwards compatibility.  Replace "Section/Group ID" with "Section ID" now group is distinct from section. Use loncommon::*_data_table() routines instead of nested tables.  Prevent use of 'none' or 'all' (reserved words) or a group name for a section ID.

- eliminate non-functional Apache2::compat

- safely try to pull in the compat enviironment where needed

Bug 4441. Accommodation of non-word characters in institutional codes. Sanity checking now needed.

Bug 3912.  DCs can use courseID (e.g., 257472759ae4061msul1) as a filter when using pickcourse.

- ENV -> env

Adding storage of course owner to nohist_courseids.db.  Pick course can permits use of institutional code and/or username of course owner as filters.

Calls to functions in localenroll.pm mediated by lonc/lond now include domain
in the set of passed parameters to support domain-specific variants in a single
localenroll.pm file housed on a multi-domain library server.

Automated enrollment now sets first access and last access dates for student
roles based on defaults set on course creation, and modifiable via a number
of mechanisms in the Enrollment Manager, and Automated Enrollment Manager.

The Automated Enrollment Manager now provides a utility to allow enrollment type
to be toggled between 'auto' and 'manual', so that students added via CSV file
or singly can become liable for automated update (dropping, section switching
etc.).

Fix bug #3062

Changes to support autoenroll calls from a remote server.

lond on the homeserver for the course(s) handles requests from the remote
server for institutional data (e.g., classlists, valid institutional courseIDs,
institutional section numbers for a course code, validation of course owners), by
calling the appropriate functions in the homeserver's localenroll.pm

All replies are made directly with the exception of fetch_enrollment_query, which
is shipped over to lonsql, in case retrieval of institutional classlists is a
protracted process.

lonsql on the homeserver for the course(s) calls localenroll::fetch_enrollment()
and writes XML files of enrollment data to /home/httpd/perl/tmp

Transfer of classlist data occurs later following an autoretrieve call from the
remote server. It is planned to generalize this function and add encryption to the transfer back to the client.

Autoenroll.pl called by cron on a library server, now only carries out updates for
courses in its domain, for which the library server is the course's homeserver. If a domain has multiple library servers Autoenroll.pl will need to be run on each library server.

Modified messages written to log when no student enrollment is retrieved.

Fix so Autoenroll.pl will now run update when end date has been set to "No end date". Commit of change previously made to s10 on 1/28/2004.

- setting things up so the nightly script has no effect

- putting the GPL header back in

Added e-mailing of usernames and passwords to new accounts if e-mail addresses provided for the new users, or to the course owner via a LON-CAPA message if no e-mail addresses available.

- adding GPL headers

Added notification to course coordinators when automated enrollment update results in enrollment changes. Added saving of logfiles. Changed calling of LONCAPA::Enrollment.pm to support crosslisted courses.

Automated enrollment script - called by cron to carry out nightly enrollment updates, for all courses on the library server on which it is running. Makes calls to localenroll.pm to retrieve institutional data, and LONCAPA::Enrollment.pm to parse the retrieved classlists (stored as XML in /home/httpd/perl/tmp) and carry out the required changes.
