gearing up for the fall

0060 is up.  For the first time in Alice 3’s brief history (brief on an astronomical time scale, anyway) one should be able to teach a semester long without the absolute necessity of being able to update the system mid-semester.  We will still be fixing bug reports and making updates, of course.  However, the hope is that one could theoretically make it all the way through a semester with what we have available today.

What I am personally excited about is that we can now afford to branch the code at semester boundaries and make big leaps again.  As you might imagine, having the well-being of so many students tied to your updates is more than a bit daunting.  It tends to keep one from making ambitious changes mid-semester.
