Monassis release 1.0.9

The first release for a while, mostly because we've madly been writing free textbooks over at Siyavula. Now that the dust has settled, I'm back onto Monassis development and the first order of business was to switch to a new database server. We've been using SQLite until now, which has been holding up really well with about 3700 users, but it won't scale for the future, so we're moving to PostgreSQL.

Changes:
  • Migrated to PostgreSQL.
  • Much improved ASCIIsvg to PNG pipeline. The latest figures are beautiful!
  • Mathematics and Physical Sciences, Grades 10 and 12 are complete.
  • Bugfixes and unit tests.

Over the course of the next month we're getting ready for the start of the 2013 school year. This means completing alignment of Grade 11 exercises to the new curriculum and finalising a few additional features for learners and teachers. Expect the next release in about 4 weeks!
