+## Version 4.6.0
+
+Released May 2024.
+
+This version will require moodle 4.0+. Moodle 3.x is no longer supported.
+
+1. Alter list of acceptible expressions.  Unicode super/subscripts now are invalid.  Use 150_replace filter in students' input.
+2. Add in the extra input option `feedback` to run in parallel with validators to give opportunities for bespoke messages.
+3. Load the `functs` Maxima package, i.e. `load("functs");` to give access to some useful functions.
+4. Fix display and simplification of binomial coefficients (issue #931).
+5. Add in the `CT:...` and `RAW:...` options for test case construction to enable tests of invalid input (e.g. missing stars).
+6. STACK now has an [API](../Installation/API.md) to provide STACK questions as a web service.
+7. Improve the display of floats.  Numbers of decimal places are now respected in all parts of expressions, and floats such as `1.7E-9` are displayed at \(1.7 \times 10^{-9}\).   There is a new question option to choose between \(1.7 \times 10^{-9}\) and \(1.7E-9\).
+8. Add in support for drag and drop [matching problems](../Authoring/Matching.md).

+We appreciate some people prefer hosted services as an alternative to running their own server.  If so, then please contact the developers for more details of current providers.
 
 STACK is designed to be used on a Linux-based server.  The Windows/MS option exists to help teachers author questions offline, and for demonstration and development.  However, for demonstration, development and offline use we strongly recommend using VirtualBox instead of the Windows port.  Note also that support for the optimized Maxima image is not available on Windows platforms, which is a substantial performance improvement.
