Gapfill 1.7 Release Notes

This is maintenance version with no new features. The main purpose of this version is to ensure the question type will work with Moodle 2.9. This is required because the JQuery code in the previous version of Gapfill would not work with 2.9. The versions of JQuery, JQuery UI and touchpunch (for mobile support) have been updated. This addresses some issues with drag and drop when using MS IE. The calls are taken from the way JQuery is used in the ordering question type. Credit to Gordon Bateson for this.

There is a fix to ensure proper handling of string comparison. Previously tolower was used which would not work correctly with text containing accents. This is due to the way tolower works in PHP and where necessary it has been replaced by mb_tolower. The sample questions xml file that ships with the question type includes an example of gaps where the answers contain accents Another issue was that a gap like [cat|dog] would match bigcat and catty and adog and doggy. This is now fixed.
