in this way you should always define prerequisite markers before those that depend on them. # e.g. if you have a marker("cond.foundNameOfCat") and a marker ("cond.foundOutMrXHasACat") then you should define the latter before the former. # the reason this is important is that when the casebook tells the player what tags they must find for the day, they are sorted in the order they are defined # v4.06 # Improved form functions for questions and answers # v4.05 # Added newspaper image dithering function (when you go to detail page of a file upload) # v4.04 # Giving up trying to get http login to work (if we ever need to test on a new domain temporarily without https this will haunt us) # Enforcing https redirect # v4.03 # improved default newspaper layouts # added options to newspaper function to control paragraph and line spacing # v3.99 # improved logging system in django site # added 'fit' arguement to newspaper headlines to adjust headline to fit on one line # widths for images and format/boxes can not be specified either in % of page width, or explicitly eg "5in" # fixed bug with draft building resulting in error on custom largefont build # slightly improved latex error detection # improved newspaper layout # improved custom font underlining and strikethrough (bolder and matching color) # v3.96 - fixed background transparency of full cover page images # moved cover page function to latex function # fixed bug in start and end day time to support fractional values (with minutes) # added support for specifying day start and end as a string like "8:00 am" # unified some image/font/finding functions # added support for hyphenate=false in defineFont
