Release notes for web applications

We released SiteBuilder 2.464 on Friday 5^th February 2021. In this version:

• We fixed a bug which caused HTML to display when viewing event details at calendar pages.

We released Tabula 2021.2.1 on Thursday 4^th February 2021. In this version:

• We completed more work on the forthcoming Self-Certification functionality.
• Redundant items no longer appear in the local navigation menu on students' timetables. Previously, separate course codes appeared here, but selecting them did not change the events shown. Thanks to Oscar Harris for making this change, via an open source contribution.
• When you create a course exam grid, the Course dropdown now displays the full name of each course, as it appears in SITS. This makes it easier to distinguish between courses with similar codes.

We released SiteBuilder 2.463 on Tuesday 2^nd February 2021. In this version:

• We added more detailed guidance to the privacy notice templates used in forms. This standard text includes contact details for addressing data protection queries, and is appended to your form's specified privacy notice.
• We added guidance for users requesting a new Go redirect. Target pages must be compliant with web accessibility, GDPR and University brand guidelines.
• We fixed a bug which caused browsers to focus on Date fields when navigating to a form.
• We fixed a bug so that tags containing special characters, such as '+', remain selected when browsing events calendars.
• We improved 'drag into category' questions in quizzes. Options now return to their original location if dragged outside of the available categories.

We released Tabula 2021.1.4 on Friday 29^th January 2021. In this version:

• We completed some preparatory work for the forthcoming Self-Certification functionality.
• The table on the 'Submissions and feedback' page for an assignment can now be sorted by the contents of the 'Plagiarism report' column.
• Timetables for previous years now display all relevant small group teaching events (for performance reasons, Tabula 2021.1.2 temporarily restricted timetables to showing small group teaching events in the current year only).
• The 'attendance last updated' details shown on the 'Record attendance' page for an event are now correct. A bug caused the time and date of the first update to be displayed, rather than the latest.

We released Tabula 2021.1.3 on Thursday 21^st January 2021. In this version:

• We added a new small group set type, 'SGT Lecture':
  • This is for imported Syllabus+ lecture events.
  • When you import small groups from Syllabus+, you may see sets of groups listed as 'SGT Lectures'. Importing such a set results in a Tabula small group set of the type 'SGT Lecture', with the corresponding lecture events.
  • You can also manually create a Tabula small group set of this type and then import the relevant Syllabus+ lecture events on the Events screen.
  • You allocate students to the groups in 'SGT Lecture' sets in Tabula. No allocations are held in or imported from Syllabus+.
  • Events within Syllabus+ 'SGT Lectures' groups are not shown on timetables in Tabula via the Syllabus+ timetable feed. You can instead display the imported events to staff and students when you publish the groups in Tabula. The events are labelled 'Lecture'.
  • When you publish the groups, both the 'Staff' and 'Students' checkboxes are pre-selected.
  • In contrast, for group sets of type 'Lecture', the 'Students' checkbox is unselected and a warning that the events may duplicate a Syllabus+ whole cohort event is displayed.
• We completed some preparatory work for improvements to how resits are generated in Marks Management.
• The checks completed when small groups are created within Tabula or imported from a spreadsheet are now consistent. We also restored the validation message shown, via either method, when a group has no name.
• We added the facility for students' profiles to show their preferred pronouns. This relies on a change to eVision, to provide students the option of specifying their preferred pronouns during course registration. Once this is complete and the pronouns are available in SITS, Tabula will import and display them.
