===Quiz improvements===
[[de:Neue Funktionalitäten]]
Duplicating and moving questions is now easier and there is an option to 'Save changes and continue editing'. Quiz reports have been improved; the Essay question now allows students simply to add an attachment and the Random Short answer matching question type is available for use.
  [[es:Nuevas características de Moodle 3.7]]
 
[[fr:Nouveautés de Moodle 3.8]]
 
==For administrators==
 
===Long term support===
By popular demand, Moodle 2.7 will have extended support of 3 years (until June 2017) for security and data-loss fixes, twice the time of other releases.
 
===Themes===
With the focus on improved responsive design, Clean is now default, and a completely new theme, More, allows customisation from within the admin interface. All other themes have been moved to the plugins database.
 
===Event logging===
A new logging subsystem with plugins means Moodle logging can be very detailed and external, supporting better analytics.
 
===Scheduled tasks management===
With an improved scheduling system, tasks can be scheduled precisely,even on complex clustered servers.
 
==For all users==
 
===Atto, a new editor===
Our new Moodle editor focuses on usability and accessibility. TinyMCE is still available, but Atto will be the default you'll want to use.
 
===Log in with your email address===
A new admin setting allows users to log in not only with their normal username but also with their email address.
