Was ist neu in Version 5 was created by tangerine12
Hallo, Derzeit arbeite ich an meiner Arbeit über LimeSurvey 5 und seine Neuerungen. Bei meiner Recherche stieß ich auf das "What's new in version 5" auf der vorherigen Download-Seite von LimeSurvey ( community.limesurvey.org/downloads/ ). Allerdings habe ich festgestellt, dass seit der Veröffentlichung von LimeSurvey 6 auch das "What's new in version 5" durch die Neuerungen von LimeSurvey 6 ersetzt wurde. Leider konnte ich nirgendwo die vollständigen Neuerungen von LimeSurvey 5 finden.
Daher möchte ich fragen, wo ich die detaillierten Informationen zu den Neuerungen in LimeSurvey 5 finden kann.

da scheint was auf der Website falsch gelaufen zu sein. Klick doch mal auf "Whats new in Limesurvey 6"... 

So, jetzt habe ich nochmal geklickt und jetzt erscheint auch dort die Info zu LS6 vs LS5, vorher war es noch "LS5 vs. LS3", vermutlich noch im Cache. Habe die info aber nicht gesichert und damit kann ich es dir auch nicht zukommen lassen.

In einem Inkognito-Fenster meines Browsers kam dann aber bei Whats new in LS5 wieder die richtige Info. Einfach mal ausprobieren. Zur Sicherheit, habe ich das mal hier gesichert:

Ich entwickle gerade eine neue Pythonschnittstelle, um Limesurvey 5 über die RemoteControl 2 API zu nutzen. Die vorherige Pythonschnittstelle basierte auf Limesurvey 3, daher wollte ich herausfinden, welche Neuerungen Limesurvey 5 gegenüber LImesurvey 3 hat, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Remotecontrol 2 API. Ich sammle diese Informationen, aber leider habe ich sie nicht an vielen Stellen finden können. Wo kann ich sonst noch Informationen über das LImesurvey 5 Update finden? Vielen Dank!
