%%%%%% CHANGELOG %%%%%%%
% Version 1.0
% First release to CTAN
%Version 1.1 2013/12/09
%Inserted the dependance on the package \texttt{environ} to remove some errors in the \LaTeX\ compilation.
%Removed the dependance on the package \texttt{icomma} in the italian localization file es-italian.lng because
%of the introduction of new features in the package \texttt{babel} for the Italian langaguage (macro \texttt{IntelligentComma}).
% Version 2.0
% 2015/02/25
%Eliminated the dependance on \pkgname{pstricks}. Modified the use of \emph{fill-in} questions.
%Inserted the possibility to extract %more than one variant from a file. Now it is possible to view the solutions in tests.
%Modified the visualization of decimal places in command  \cmd{\FPsv}. Modified the definition of \cmd{\FPval} to allow the use of decimal places.
%Modified the algorithm of choice of a variant of an exercise, now completely deterministic.
% Added the command \cmd{\Acapo}. Added the serbian localization (latin alphabet).
%The compilation produces a new file with the list of the chosen exercises.
% Version 2.1
% 2016/07/25
%Modified es-german.lng and es-spanish.lng for an error in the input of the solutions. Introduced the macro randestrai.
%Introduced the macro FPsignpol. Introduced a control on the total points of the exercises. Solved the incompatibility
%with babel for the Spanish language. Removed the incompatibility between the command \fillin and the commands \sempli and \semplix.
% Version 2.2
% 2017/07/01
%Introduced the possibility to have two different seeds for exercises choice and for scrambling. Sligtly modified the command \estrai so that can be used
%to extract parameters from a list. Improved the documentation.
% Version 2.3
% 2017/09/18
%Corrected a misprint in the code
% Version 2.4
% 2018/02/10
% Documentation corrected.
% Version 2.5
% 2018/05/06
%Corrected a misprint in the code. Improved the selection of random exercises.
% Version 2.6
% 2021/10/11
%Improved the spacing in \cmd{\FPsignpol}. Corrected the code to  avoid some spourios spaces. 
% Version 2.7
% 2022/01/11
%Improved the spacing in \cmd{\sempli} and \cmd{\FPsignpol}. Corrected a misprint in the code. 
% 2013/07/21
%Documentation modified  to solve a problem with the Spanish Language.
