Release notes for web applications

We released Tabula 2022.11.1 on Wednesday 2^nd November 2022. In this version, we:

• Changed the process for the deferral of exams via a student's mitigating circumstances submission. Previously, resits for the affected exams were automatically generated, where possible. This led to issues if, for example, the Senior Tutor had selected the wrong exam period when recommending the deferral, or the department subsequently closed the generated resit records in error, meaning students were missing from exam schedules. Now, the affected component marks are changed to 0 and component grades are updated to indicate that a further first attempt (S) or resit (R) is required, but no resits are automatically generated. The corresponding module marks and grades are also reset. Once the department has processed the marks for any affected modules, they can then generate the necessary resits in Marks management.
• Updated the release date for postgraduate taught (PGT) students to Wednesday 30^th November 2022. These students will be able to see their agreed mark, grade and result in their Tabula profile from this date.

We released Tabula 2022.10.4 on Wednesday 19^th October 2022. In this version we:

• Fixed a bug that caused Marker notifications to display an incorrect number of students with active extensions.
• Fixed a bug that prevented members of some staff groups from appearing in search results, for example when specifying a student's supervisor.
• Improved data validation so that Tabula only imports a student's current supervisor from SITS.

We released SiteBuilder 2.521 on Thursday 27^th October 2022. In this version we:

• Fixed an issue that could cause a loss of formatting when changing a page's type.
• Solved an issue that prevented selecting dates/times in date pickers while using keyboard controls.

• Added the option to filter by submission ID on view form submission pages.
• Made the following changes to the Components Editor:
  • When you create a new page directly beneath a Components Editor page, the Create new page screen now has Components Editor selected by default. You can change this to Classic editor before you select the Create new page button.
  • Moved the text that appears to show the name of an anchor when you hover over it. The previous position made it difficult to place the cursor before the anchor.
  • Fixed a bug that caused images to appear the wrong size when moved or placed inside other components.
  • Solved an issue that prevented users placing the cursor inside empty tabs in Tabs components.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the plus button at the top of layout components to disappear behind the component toolbar after scrolling. This button is used to add a new paragraph above the layout component.
• Continued to work on the new Bookings page template. When this is available, we'll provide a detailed summary of the changes on the SiteBuilder noticeboard.

We released Tabula 2022.10.3 on Wednesday the 19^th of October. In this version we:

• Added a help icon tooltip to clarify the purpose of the Collect marks checkbox on the Edit assignment > Feedback settings page.
• Improved course sorting in the Student profile navigation bar to better reflect a student's study history. Thanks to Oscar Harris for making this change, via an open source contribution.

We released SiteBuilder 2.520 on Tuesday 18^th October 2022. In this version we:

• Fixed a number of issues affecting the View recent submissions page on Forms which prevented pop-ups from displaying content properly or being navigated with keyboard controls.
• Clarified the error message that appears if renaming a page would result in a URL longer than 256 characters. The message now identifies which page, sub-page, or file would be affected by the character limit.
• Improved the process of converting pages to the Components Editor to better handle non-standard button styles
• Made the following changes to the Components Editor:
  • Fixed a bug that prevented images and other non-text content from being displayed if they were the only content inside paragraph tags in a Custom HTML component.
  • Solved an issue that prevented users from moving components around pages properly.
  • Fixed a bug that meant users could inadvertently delete tabs from the Tabs component.
