Release notes for web applications

We released Tabula 2020.10.1 on Thursday 8^th October 2020. In this version:

• We completed some preparatory work to enable the processing of marks by cohort. This will provide an alternative to processing marks by module.
• Via open source contributions:
  • Oscar Harris (Computer Science):
    • Made the module registration status on the Modules page of students' profiles visible to the relevant student.
    • Fixed a bug affecting formative assessments with feedback provided outside of Tabula. These were appearing twice in the 'Feedback available' section of the Coursework page on students' profiles.
  • Michael Gale (Computer Science) added start and end times to meeting records awaiting approval. Previously, just the date of the meeting was shown.
• Batched notifications are now enabled for all users who have not specified a preference. This means certain notifications of the same type are grouped together and sent at 10-minute intervals.
• When you add students to a small groups set via SITS query, any students registered on the module now automatically appear in the 'Find students' section on the 'Students' tab. The module the group set belongs to is pre-selected in the filters, but you can change this to generate a different list of students.

We released SiteBuilder 2.450 on Monday 5^th October 2020. In this version:

• We introduced a cookie preference banner at the bottom of all pages on the Warwick website. Once you've chosen which types of cookies to accept, the banner does not appear again for the combination of device and browser you used. This applies unless you clear your cookies or use private browsing mode. To change your preference, for a given device and browser, you can use the 'Cookie preferences' link in the utility menu at the top of any page.
• We improved the accessibility of calendar pages by adding buttons for choosing a view option (day, week, month, agenda, etc.). These options were previously presented in a drop-down list, with automatic selection of the top option when the down arrow key was pressed, which could be disorienting.

We released Tabula 2020.9.4 on Thursday 1^st October 2020. In this version:

• We increased the maximum length available for links to more information from small group teaching events. This was previously 255 characters, which was causing problems when long links to events in Teams were added.

We released SiteBuilder 2.449 on Monday 28^th September 2020. In this version:

• We fixed a bug that prevented the editing of scheduled changes.
• We improved the appearance of text on small screens.
• We fixed a bug that prevented users with 'add new topics' permission on a forum from attaching images to their posts.

We released Tabula 2020.9.3 on Thursday 24^th September 2020. In this version:

• The downloadable spreadsheet template for importing small group teaching events now includes the following columns:
  • Link - a URL.
  • Link text - this is optional. If left blank, 'More details' appears as the link text.
  Any links you specify appear in the event's pop-up detail box on students' timetables. This enables you to provide students with a direct link to a Teams event, for example.
• When the result of a resit / further first sit requires a resit / further first sit via an exam, this can now be generated in the Marks Management component. The original assessment type is suggested as the resit assessment type, and you can specify the attempt number (1, 2 or 3).
