Hello,
I was working on the Book module during the last few days. You can get more information at http://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=mod_book
I am looking for tester of the 2.1 beta, please file bug reports at https://github.com/skodak/moodle-mod_book/issues
Please note that it is not possible to delete, rename or otherwise manage chapter files. You can vote at http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-28019 to get it implemented, thanks.

I just got the chance to install this latest Book beta version and start trying it out. I am using Moodle 2.1.2+ with the book 2.1beta.
My only problem that I have so far is that blank lines disappear. In other words, I usually separate paragraphs or paragraphs and number/bullet lists with a blank line like I have done here in this post. They show up fine while editing the page, but when I click save changes, the blank lines disappear.
There are no blank lines in your post. There are paragraphs (ie <p>...</p>) which are separated by means of css margin definition.
If your blank lines serve no other purpose but separating items, you should use styles in their stead. This should be your practice in any editor, so if you write your content in say, Word, you should use standard styles consistently throughout the document and that will allow you to preserve formatting when the content is converted to html or other formats.
Moodle really cleans code like
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
but you can as well add one space to the each line before you hit Enter and the code
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
does not disappear.
Or you can use Shift-Enter instead of Enter to add <br /> tags
like this
AH! I realize my problem now. To speed things up, I was using copy and paste from a Moodle 1.9.13+ book and going from the Html Editor to TinyMCE it was getting pasted as Format instead of Paragraph setting and I just did not notice it. So in reality, it is a none problem.
Thanks for the help.
