Hi all
We dist-upgraded Debian Stretch to Buster. PHP went from 7.0 to 7.4, Moodle from 3.5 to 3.9. STACK is 4.3.8 for Moodle 3.5+ 2020120600. I had to reinstall Maxima and Gnuplot which I got from the Debian repositories. Old STACK questions are still broken - with many errors similar to "The field ""Question text"" generated the following error: CASText failed validation. TIMEDOUT dumped)".
Here's the STACK healthcheck:
Check LaTeX is being converted correctly
Maths display method being used: MathJax.
STACK generates LaTeX on the fly, and enables teachers to write LaTeX in questions. It assumes that LaTeX will be converted by a moodle filter. Below are samples of displayed and inline expressions in LaTeX ...
