<h3>Release name</h3>

<li>A few languages now get a "parent" language which is not English. In this case, we have based the update query on an ID that we "assume" to be the right one for Spanish, Italian, French, Chinese and Portuguese. If the ID is not correct, you might, in the worst case scenario, get Chinese or Arabic terms appear in a language that is not the primary one, like Galician (normally taking Spanish as parent language). This can be fixed very easily by an "UPDATE language SET parent_id = NULL"; for all your languages, and then re-apply the parent manually to your sub-language if it needs one.</li>
<li>"Character set" platform setting can't be modified. It is now fixed to UTF-8 (see #7652). This comes as a decision given the fact that other character encoding types were only there for backwards compatibility reasons, and that the last version with something else than UTF-8 was released more than 5 years ago.</li>
<li>Starting from 1.10.0, courses directories will really be deleted when the course is deleted. No more logical-delete-but-no-physical-delete policy where the folder used to remain available for last-minute recovery of resources. You are trusted to take backups when necessary to avoid inconvenient situations. This comes as a decision considering the increasing number of huge installations where ghost course directories become a considerable space issue very quickly, and as an observation that, in fact, this feature is very little known and very few people use it to actually recover deleted course material.</li>
<li>The hotspot question type is broken due to changes in the underlying Chamilo code. Given the fact this question type is developed in Flash and none of the developers at the time of release had Adobe CS available (proprietary technology that requires compilation) we have been unable to update the corresponding Flash code. Work is under way to provide the same feature using only HTML5, but it is likely to appear in a corrective version for 1.10.0. If you have an urgent need for this feature, please contact an official provider to get this sorted: providers@chamilo.org</li>
