NEWS AND CHANGES
================

Version 0.8
-----------

- Includes questions for LPI-201. This is not as extensive as we would
  like but hey, you get what you pay for.

- Includes many more explanations for LPIC-1 questions. Thanks to
  Dr Angela Müller for contributing a full set of explanations for
  LPI-102.

- Various other improvements to the code.


Version 0.5
-----------

- Adapted to LPI's new policy of not allowing a choice between DPKG
  and RPM flavours for LPI101. At the moment the old options for
  »LPI101 (DPKG) « and »LPI101 (RPM)« are still available, but they
  will disappear in due course.

- Many questions (not all) have explanations that can be displayed
  during exam evaluation. This feature can be disabled. The
  explanations can refer to external web sites, which are displayed
  using a user-defined browser (Konqueror or Firefox).

- Many corrections, updates and extensions in questions and answers.

- New »instructor mode« for classroom use. »lpisim -t« starts the
  simulator in »instructor mode«; students start their simulators
  using »lpisim -r IPADDRESS«, which links them to the instructor's
  simulator. Questions etc. are set by that one, and the instructor
  gets a special window to follow the progress of the exam.

  By default, LPISim uses port 7777; the instructor's simulator can be
  started on another port using the »-p PORTNUMBER« option, while the
  students must specify »-r IPADDRESS:PORTNUMBER«.

- The question pools are now published under a modified GFDL, in order
  to have some recourse in a situation where the questions are used in
  online exam simulations without proper attribution. (We are happy to
  negotiate different terms in individual cases.)
