- 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.

- Support institutional policies which allow a Course Coordinator affiliated
  with a cross-listed course to be automatically listed as a co-owner in a
  course.

- Set $env{'request.role.adv'} for call to lonrelrequtils::get_release_req
  (new dependency in &retrieveResources() in lonnavmaps.pm rev. 1.550)

- Remove blank line.

- Accommodate sub-directory structure of user directories containing dot(s)
  within the first three characters of the username.

- Routines moved from refresh_courseids_db.pl to lonrelrequtils.pm
  to facilitate re-use: parameter_constraints(), coursetype_constraints(),
  commblock_constraints(), coursecontent_constraints(), read_paramdata(),
  update_reqd_loncaparev().
- Clean-up handler phase for lonblockingmenu.pm and courseprefs.pm
  (query string contains phase=releaseinfo) includes call to update
  LON-CAPA version requirement in course's environment.db and course's
  record in domain's nohost_courseids.db
- Display of details for LON-CAPA version requirement in course now
  includes any requirements based on blocking (timer trigger, printout
  or content access).

- Fix typos

- Domain configuration used to set generation of unique six character code
  as course identifier when processing course requests, can be set
  separately for different request types - official, unofficial, community
  or textbook.
- Where a unique code is set for a course store in nohist_courseids.db on
  domain's library server(s).

- Bubblesheet grading of CODEd exams in which exam folder has either randomorder
  or randompick set causes new parameter (examcode) to be set at map level for
  a sepecific user each graded student.
- Parameter value is set to CODE on the student's bubblsheet exam.
- If used, requires course roles to be selected in a user session on a 2.11 server.
- Ensures resources are displayed in same order to student, and more importantly,
  ensures points totals will be correct in student's quickgrades view, if randompick
  was used.

Typo in 1.14

- Provide username:domain for domain config user so lonuserstate.pm can
  construct appropriately named .db files in /home/httpd/perl/tmp.

- course's environment now has: internal.contentchange to store timestamp
  of when folders/composite pages uploaded to main content area of a
  course last changed.
- map::storemap() includes additional (third) arg -- if true, will cause
  update to internal.contentchange in course's environment.db
- internal.contentchange is also updated by nightly run of refresh_courseids.db
  in case course modification occurred on pre-2.11 server.
- internal.contentchange is stored for 10 mins in memcached, via &get_coursechange()
  routine in lonnet.pm

- Fix typos in rev 1.11.

- Bug 6518.
  - Exam blocks can now block access to specified folders and/or resources
    for the duration of an exam (2.11) as well as collaborative tools (pre-2.11).
  - The start time for blocking can be based on activation of the timer for a
    specific timed quiz item (map or resource specific) -- 2.11 required.

- &build_release_hashes() moved from misc/refresh_courseids_db.pl to
  interface/loncommn.pm to facilitate re-use.

- New possible value for questiontype parameter: randomizetry.
  - Once used in course, course role selection requires 2.10 or later.

- Only check courses with last access within past two days when updating
  LON-CAPA release required in nohist_courseids.db.

- Counter for anonymous survey submissions moved from nohist_resourcetracker.db
  to nohist_anonsurveys.db for course (keys are $symb\0$part) to facilitate
  use in statistics.

- Improved checking for changes in required LON-CAPA version for a course.

- If any anonymous submissions have been made for a problem part, required
   LON-CAPA version for roles in course is 2.10
  - Move &parse_releases_xml() from refresh_courseids.db to lonnet.pm
  - Add %needsrelease as a package hash in lonnet.pm

- Store LON-CAPA version required for a particular course in nohist_courseids.db
  (and also as internal.relaserequired in course's environment.db.
  - version required is stored in the form N.M (e.g., 2.10).
- Possible constraints currently defined in releaseslist.xml.
    - check if question type parameter has been set for any problem parts in the course:
      (anonymous survey, survey with credit etc.; practice problem.
    - check if course type is Community.
    - check if particuar response types are used (i.e., math or custom).

- Include in hash stored in nohist_courseids.db, any of the following (if defined), from course's environment.db
  - categories, cloners, and hidefromcat,
  - self-enrollment settings

- Eliminate calls to &lonnet::courseiddump() for individual courses if date created is missing (use hash retrieved from call for all courses in domain instead).
- If auto-assignment of co-ownership for official courses is enabled:
   update co-owners based on co-ownership prerequisites:
     (a) active CC role
     (b) validated as official course personnel

- Bug 5967.
 - Contents of nohist_courseids.db (excluding lastaccess) rebuilt from permanent data in
   course environment.db files.
 - Will determine course owner and/or creation date for old courses created before these items
   were in use, and update course's environment.db file accordingly.
