STACK is an assessment system for mathematics, science and related disciplines. STACK is a question type for the Moodle learning management system, and also the ILIAS learning management system.
STACK was created by [Chris Sangwin](http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~csangwin/) of the University of Edinburgh, and includes the work of many [other contributors](https://github.com/maths/moodle-qtype_stack/blob/master/doc/en/About/Credits.md).

Version 4.3 represents a major internal re-engineering of STACK, with a new dedicated parser and an updated mechanism for connecting to Maxima. This is a significant improvement, refactoring some of the oldest code and unblocking progress to a wide range of requested features.
CHANGES:
There have been a number of changes:
* In the forbidden words we now match whole words not substrings.
* Removed the RegExp answer test.
* Use of units is now reflected throughout a question. This reduces the need to declare units in all contexts.
* Internally, the "+-" operator has been replaced with a new infix operation "#pm#". Instead of `a+-b` teachers now must type `a#pm#b`. This change was necessary to deal with differences between versions of Maxima when dealing with expresions.
DONE:
New features in v4.3:
* Add in full parser, to address issue #324.
* Add in input option 'align'.
