Release notes for web applications

We released Tabula 2020.11.4 on Thursday 26^th November 2020. In this version:

• When you record attendance at a small group teaching event, there are now two 'attended' options:
  • Attended in person - when the student attended in person
  • Attended remotely - when the student attended remotely, via MS Teams, for example.
  Both options appear as attended outside of the 'Record attendance' page for the event. They are also treated the same by any automatically recorded monitoring points. This change makes it easier to determine who should be contacted if someone who attended in person tests positive for Covid-19.
• When viewing a department's list of mitigating circumstances submissions, the module filter now includes affected modules from external departments.
• We fixed a bug that caused marks to incorrectly show as 'Out of sync with SITS' in some cases, which prevented changes to them.

We released SiteBuilder 2.457 on Monday 30^th November 2020. In this version, we updated the list of servers allowed to provide content via SiteBuilder.

We released SiteBuilder 2.456 on Monday 23^rd November 2020. In this version:

• We made accessibility improvements to the following page templates so that users of assistive technologies, such as screen readers, receive better information:
  • Blank
  • Bookings
  • Calendar
  • Contents list
  • Form
  • Forum
  • Glossary
  • News
  • Quiz
  • Researcher profile
  • Site map
• We further improved accessibility, and the information provided to screen readers, through a change to the automatic cleaning process applied to HTML. The following elements are now removed if they have no content:
  • Headings, such as <h2></h2>
  • Paragraphs: <p></p>
  • Links, such as <a href="a-link"></a>. Note that page anchors of the form <a id="anchor-name"></a> are not removed.

We released Tabula 2020.11.3 on Friday 20^th November 2020. In this version:

• We fixed a bug that caused Tabula to base the graduation benchmark figure for part-time PGT students on a single year of study.
• We completed some preparatory work to enable the selection of a cohort using filters and the generation of resits for this cohort. Currently, you can generate resits by module.
• We fixed a bug that caused the omission of certain students from notifications of confirmed actual mark changes. These notifications go to the Departmental Administrators of other departments with students taking the affected module. Previously, students were omitted if they changed courses the year after taking the module.

We released SiteBuilder 2.455 on Monday 16^th November 2020. In this version we improved the security of files attached to forms submitted by signed-in users.
