==================================== Version 1.3.001 ==================================================

Installation :

	Logging:
	
		The logging utility has a new method of configuring it
		(so that the log files can be set anywhere) [see README.htm].
	
	Database:
	
		Since the last release (1.2) there is an additional sql script to 
		run while setting up the database. It is named Model.sql. Use the 
		procedure outlined in README.htm
	 
Logging In:

	A user logs in using their email address as a login id. There can 
	be multiple users with the same name but each user must have a unique
	email address.

Creating reports for Excel:

	An administrator is now able to create reports and download them 
	to a client. Reports are now available for student Transcripts.
	
Launched Units:

	Launched units now appear in a different window. Thus, when you exit
	from a unit, the original view that launched the unit will still be visible
	
Managers:
	
	Managers can now view their assigned groups and the students in 
	those groups. A manager can now register or unregister their students for courses.
	
AddingManagers

	There is a new type of Manager with the role "Adding Manager" can add students to 
	their assigned groups. Students can be have the role of Student ('S') or 
	Enrolling Student ('R')	

New Student type 'R':

	There is a new type of student, created with a role 'R' that can 
	enroll in and drop courses, as well as launch courses.

	The normal type of student 'S' can view the courses in which they 
	are enrolled and launch those courses but cannot self-enroll or drop 
	courses.

Student Login Page:

	The initial page a student sees when logging in will differ depending 
	on which courses the student is registered for.

	1. A student registered for no courses will see a welcome page.
	
	2. A student registered for a single course with a single unit 
	   will see that unit launched.
	   
	3. A student registered for a single course with multiple units 
	   will see a unit selection page that allows the units to be launched
	   
	4. A student registered for multiple courses will see a course selection
	   page. Selecting a course leads to a Unit selection page.
	   
Version Command:
   
	There is now a Version command for administrators which shows the versions
	of the servlet software and the database model.
	
Configuration:

	There is a context-param in web.xml named  "adminDebug". Changing its 
	value from off to on causes student id's to be shown by the administrator
	command "Find User"
