Release notes for web applications

We released SiteBuilder 2.454 on Monday 16^th November 2020. In this version:

• We fixed a bug that caused line breaks to be added to descriptions of podcast episodes.
• Thanks are due to Oscar Harris (Computer Science) for an open source contribution which improves the SiteBuilder API.
• We made some more accessibility improvements.

We released Tabula 2020.11.2 on Wednesday 11^th November 2020. In this version:

• Syllabus+ events with an end date earlier than the start date are now omitted from departmental calendars. Such events were causing errors and preventing affected calendars from displaying. Omitted events are detailed in a message above the calendar.
• We fixed a bug that prevented some users from dismissing items in their activity stream.

We released Tabula 2020.11.1 on Wednesday 4^th November 2020. In this version we fixed a number of bugs, including some that affected the Tabula API.

We released Tabula 2020.10.4 on Thursday 29^th October 2020. In this version:

• When students move from one self-signup small group to another, we now indicate this on the attendance page for any affected events. In the old group, Icon representing a person, with a line through it appears for all events after the date of the move. In the new group, Icon representing a person, with a line through it appears for all events before the date of the move. In both cases, we display explanatory help text when you select the icon. This brings self-signup groups inline with groups that students are allocated to, for which we introduced this icon in Tabula 2019.7.3.
• We completed more preparatory work to enable the processing of marks by cohort. This will provide an alternative to processing marks by module.
• We completed some work to import special arrangements for rest break time during exams. This will be used by the Alternative Exams Portal to ensure the relevant students receive their allotted rest break time.

We released SiteBuilder 2.453 on Tuesday 27^th October 2020. In this version:

• We upgraded the plugin that underpins the accessibility page audit so that more issues can be found automatically. The audit was already available via the toolbar in the visual editor and is now also available in the raw editor.
