Version 2.2.2

This version was released in late April 2006.

• Support for external registrar feeds for automatic course setup and automatic student enrollment in classes (this feature can be enabled and disabled).
• New enrollment management feature allows a given course to have one of three statuses: OPEN (any student can join the class); MODERATED (students can request to be added to the class, and instructors or staff approve the requests); or CLOSED (enrollment is restricted to the students already in the class and those coming through automatic updates, if they are enabled).
• Ability to edit multiple items from the Edit Class screen for such fields as Notes, Activation date, and Deactivation date.
• Security enhancements to improve protection of files stored in ReservesDirect from unauthorized users.
• Dynamic, contextual help system. The new help system allows dynamic creation of articles that have permission levels for both viewing and editing by role (student, proxy, instructor, etc.). All help articles are fully searchable and taggable (social tagging-style). Main help articles are contextual to the page the user is looking at. The system comes pre-loaded with a set of help articles, but more, of course, can be added (and existing articles edited or deleted).
