Localization:
- Corrected &mt() update lonroles.pm 1.234: Allow change of parameter order due to localization but keep proper HTML structure.
- Wording correction on roles screen (no roles): It's actually the right to _request_ creation of courses/communities, not the right to create them

- Wording change to accommodate Communities.

Removed deprecated attributes from <hr> (noshade, width, align)
and XHTML conform tag closure

- reverted changes made in lonlocal.pm 1.58 and lonwhatsnew.pm 1.92
- the root cause for slow performance in lonwhatsnew while looking up received mails
  was found in DateTime::TimeZone's methods for looking up the 'local' timezone:
  [SOURCE: http://search.cpan.org/~drolsky/DateTime-TimeZone-0.90/lib/DateTime/TimeZone/Local/Unix.pm]
  "This class tries the following methods of determining the local time zone:

    * $ENV{TZ}
      It checks $ENV{TZ} for a valid time zone name.

    * /etc/localtime
      If this file is a symlink to an Olson database time zone file (usually in /usr/share/zoneinfo) then
      it uses the target file's path name to determine the time zone name. For example, if the path is
      /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago, the time zone is "America/Chicago".

      Some systems just copy the relevant file to /etc/localtime instead of making a symlink. In this case,
      we look in /usr/share/zoneinfo for a file that has the same size and content as /etc/localtime to
      determine the local time zone.[...]"

  On our CentOS server /etc/localtime happens to be a copy and this causes TimeZone to do an expensive
  search through the files in /usr/share/zoneinfo (everytime locallocaltime needs the 'local' timezone).
  To prevent TimeZone from doing this search we store the timezone found after the first run in $ENV{TZ}.
  Future calls of locallocaltime will be significantly improved in performance.
  This affects every module that calls locallocaltime (not only lonwhatsnew.pm).

Using the new Locallocaltime-Function SpeedUp Hack

Little change for more speed

edited all Action Items,  Display Action Items and Course Action Items => What's New? (after request to Stefan)
CVS ----------------------------------------------------------------------

short button names, german translation of "token".

edited all occurencies into "What's New?" and "What's New Page" for consistent wording
CVS ----------------------------------------------------------------------

in loncreateuser.pm order changed because "Name of Role" is not "Generate new Role" but rather an inputfield.
shorter button names.

consistent wording

consistent wording

_ Backport 1.84.

- Check that navmap object could be created to avoid ISE when retrieving information for handgrading, bombs, version changes, problems above threshold and new discussion posts.

- Missing concatenation operator.

- Backport 1.83.

- Less risk of typos.

Added missing ";" to all " "

- Optimized/corrected some translations

Bug 5737. Add parentheses to clarify the evaluation of threshold conditions.

Localization:
- Added missing &mt() calls
- Optimized &mt() calls, e.g. got rid of ugly concatinations

Bug 5176. Record of role changes in a course in nohist_rolelog.db

- Display roles which expired in a course during a specified time interval.
- Some wording changes for "version changes" display/interval setting.

Bug 5645.
What's New page: each unread course message link links directly to the particular message.

Localization:
- Added some missing &mt()
- Optimized some &mt() calls (e.g. link, br, ... excluded from translation)

lonwhatsnew.pm
- xhtml
- remove surplus table tags
- more CSS

loncommon.pm
- IE 7 needs border-collapse: collapse
- Full page two column format added to standard_css

- @ -> : change

- switch Store to Save

Localization.

$tabbg no longer required now CSS is being used from loncommon::standard_css().

- More comprehensive CSS use in "What's New" display.
- Move row color definitions from lonwhatsnew.pm to loncommon::standard_css().
- Add some style definitions to loncommon::standard_css() for nested tables (as used in "What's New" display.
- Rename LC_whatsnew styles as LC_nested_outer and LC_nested, as use on other pages besides "What's New" is anticipated.

Renaming unread_discussion() as discussion_info() and making the funtion more universally useful.  Can now be used to retrieve counts for all postings, or just unread postings (if 'unread') is included as an argumnet in the call (e.g., $resource->discussion_info('unread');).  Also if
called in array context, returns ($count,%info), where %info is a hash of a hash.  Outer hash keys are count number, inner hash keys are: subject, id, timestamp.

Resource URLs and symbs displayed in handgraded, above threshold and unread discussion tables need to be encrypted, if url encryption was enabled for the resource, and the current user's role does not cause links to be displayed in plain text.

	Bug 5085 (part 2). Don't save empty values.

	Bug 5085. Show default values when updating original threshold
		  settings.

- missing a <td> when no problems shown

In the threshold table, keep row color invariant for all table cells associated with a specific multi-part problem.

- BUG#5008, problems where getting colrs then getting sorted, CSS ing the one table fixes it

Remove the term 'group' as all course entities will be called courses (standard  and non-standard will be used to differentiate modes of use).

- switching to type accessor
- modified the use of mt args for course type

-start_page &mt() the title auto-magically for you

Fix bug 4801.  Row colors still not alternating as desired - more work required.

Adding thin veneer to support ANGEL-style groups.  Also modification to row colors for problems with multiple parts above critical values in thresholds display.

&Apache::lonnet::unescape -> &unescape
&Apache::lonnet::escape -> &escape

- upadte breadcrumbs calls

- more properly hadle the bmsgiid subject (it is normally enocded then escaped, take care of undoing tat in the unpackmsgid now)

- converting some interface pages to stop generating </body> <head> </head> </html> and use the helper functions instead

- removing code migrated into navmaps
- using new navmpas accessors

bug 4561. Actually save the values returned by &getnormalmail() and &getcritmail().

- commenting out non existant help links BUG#4566

Exclude problem part from display of items above thresholds if being used as a survey.

Eliminate radio buttons - less clicking to change display of count of unread.

- default to current setting

- <label>

- checkallowed now also checks for section based priv
    - set <boxname>_section to section if priv is section scoped
- need to return HTTP_NOT_AUTHORIZED before sending the http headers

- check whn for both course and course+section

- backport bugfixes from 1.40 and 1.41

Add whn privilege to make what's new available to cc, in, ta and custom role. Display NEW button for users with this privilege in a course.
CeS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fix bug 4514.

Interface improvements. Less logging of error messages: now only for failed stores of whatsnew page options.

- backport bugfix from 1.39

Display of whatsnew page on entering a course can be set for specific courses (override user prefs).  Can suppress count of unread posts per resource. Link to first resource at top of page not shown if NEW button used to get to whatsnew. What's new no longer restricted to CC role - accessible to adavnced roles in a course.

Only loop through once.

Separate checking for new posts from counting number of new posts for each resource.  Should improve efficiency by replacing multiple restores with a single dump.  Menu still to be added to allow $countunread (whether to count or not) to be user-configurable.

Hide All, Show All and individual Hide and Show links now functional.  Interval setting for version changes functional.

Default time interval for versions checking now 1 week. Name of "users_in_queue" subroutine in bridgetasks.pm had been changed.  Sanity check for resources returned from navmap->getResourceByUrl(). Remove debugging and fix some typos.

typo.

Working on bugs 4240 and 4389.  Streamlining of display building code. Visibility of different components now based on individual privileges.  Infrastructure added for show/hide of individual components. Display of resources with version changes added. Handgraded check uses grading queue. A few small pieces left to do prior to testing.

Better display of reset times (human readable instead of UNIX time).

Do not include handgradeable parts in threshold-based problem display.

Trivial html error.

Include folder parameter in link.

Typo in link to critical message display.

- though I already commited the rflush...

- force retrieve resource to see d the parts cahce

- use lonnavmaps to do the hand grade checks, shaves about anoth 5 secods off since we only have to parse the part/response info once rather tahn twice

- make lonwhats new faster (BUG#4240)

- err, typo, BUG# 4207, need to not next if !handgradable, need to just skipp the upcoming foreach loop

Back in town.

- only look at resources that have discussion that I care about

Link to email

- only really look at items that are handgradable

Default is now to display "What's New?" screen to Course Coordinators, unless they have set preference to go to start of course, whenever a course is accessed from roles screen.

- chanign it so that no longer storing and restoring to a putted DB

Sort reources by title when displaying resources with errors, unread discussions etc.

Pass course domain and course number to subroutines.  Correction to naming of db key for last reset.

- correcting some invalid html
- making the &mt() easier to translate

Fixes to display of problems with errors.  Ability to set a threshold for av attempts, deg diff, number of submissions.  Ability to reset aggregate counters for tries, degdiff, users on a part-by-part basis.

Change separator from _ to \0 - increase possibilities for future use of data in db file, by making more reliably unique split argument. Eliminate $_ to improve readability.

Unread course discussion posts moved to top of column 2.  Display of problems with anomalous average number of attempts and/or degree of difficulty added.  Data extracted from resourcetracker.db for course. Work in progress.

Adding course_id to msgid for LON-CAPA COM messages (uses course context of sender). Fixes to display of ungraded items, and change in parameters extracted from msgid to filter for course messages.

- if there where N new messages you got a N links for that resource

- wrap_symb ddoes the checking so no need to check it before calling it

Simplify interface.  Add breadcrumbs. Work in progress.

Add wrap_symb methods to lonnavmaps::navmap and lonnavmaps::resource to wrap bulletinboard symbs. Use method for resource in lonfeedback and lonwhatsnew to wrap symbs for bulletinboards.

- ENV -> env

- modding it to use the lonfeedback helper functions

- style police

- adding missing GPL headers

Display action items in the course.  Saving work in progress. Start to address bug #2117.
