Changes in Version 1.9-4 o Several functions now use find.package() rather .find.package() internally (as the latter will be deprecated soon). Changes in Version 1.9-3 o Enforced .tex suffix in LaTeX files used internally by exams2pdf(). The lack of .tex suffixes led to errors on certain Windows systems. Changes in Version 1.9-2 o New demo exercises: - confint2.Rnw shows how a confidence interval can be embedded into a "cloze" question (for all version 2 interfaces). - dist.Rnw is a very short and simple example that is intelligible across a wide range of disciplines (not for statistics audiences only). - dist2.Rnw is an extension of dist.Rnw that is written as a "cloze". o Questions in exams2moodle() were forced to be
-formatted,
now embedded in normal HTML (without tags).
Changes in Version 1.9-1
o Supplementary files had not been correctly inferred on Solaris
systems. This has been fixed now so that the package behaves the
same across different platforms.
o The code underlying the old "exams" vignette now avoids opening PDF
viewers.
Changes in Version 1.9-0
o Major revision of the "exams" package, adding flexible support for
generation of exams in different formats including PDF, HTML,
Moodle XML, and QTI 1.2 (for OLAT). This new version of the exams
package (called "version 2") is described in a new vignette:
vignette("exams2", package = "exams")
Changes in Version 1.0-4
o Added an {answerlist} environment in the LaTeX templates (inst/tex)
so that each \item in the {answerlist} is automatically labeled
with (a), (b), (c), ...
o Replaced the old {itemize} environments with {answerlist} in
anova.Rnw, boxplots.Rnw, relfreq.Rnw, scatterplot.Rnw, ttest.Rnw.
(The resulting PDFs do not change.)
Changes in Version 1.0-3
o Small improvements in solution string formatting.
Changes in Version 1.0-2
o The argument "nsamp" was added to exams() in order to allow
sampling more than one exercise from each element of the
argument "file".
Changes in Version 1.0-1
o The man page of exams was modified to use suitable markup commands.
o The questions in the ANOVA example were slightly changed to more
explicitly indicate which hypothesis is tested. A typo in the
vignette was fixed.
Changes in Version 1.0-0
o New version accompanying publication in the Journal of
Statistical Software. See vignette("exams", package = "exams")
for more details.
o New CITATION file pointing to the JSS paper, see
citation("exams").
Changes in Version 0.9-5
o The possible types of questions were extended to allow also text
results. The new type is specified by "string".
o To specify the allowed tolerance for numeric solutions now
different tolerances can be supplied for falling below or
exceeding the true value via \extol{lower}{upper}.
o The "discussion" section in the vignette was extended to include
several remarks and pointers on strategies for exercise
generation.
Changes in Version 0.9-0
o First CRAN release version.
o New vignette "exams" that explains how to use the package.
o New set of exercises for illustation in examples and vignette.
