Release notes for web applications

We released SiteBuilder 2.448 on Monday 21^st September 2020. In this version we made some accessibility improvements:

• We made calendars provide more helpful information, in a logical order, to users of screen reader software. We also made calendars fully keyboard navigable.
• It's now possible to increase or decrease the font size of text using the setting for this in your browser.
• We replaced pipe characters (|) in the local navigation menu with borders. Previously, screen reader software announced the pipe characters to users.
• We removed the alt text, "image", from news item thumbnail images because it provided no useful information. We also made the link from the image invisible for screen reader software because it duplicated the link from the item title.
• Where a button for a given letter at the top of a glossary page is greyed out, screen reader software is now told that the link is disabled.

We released Tabula 2020.9.2 on Thursday 17^th September 2020. In this version we made the following changes to the Marks Management component:

• If a mark is changed in SITS and there is already a corresponding mark in Tabula, the two marks become out of sync. When this happens, a 'Pending mark changes' box now appears at the top of the main Marks page for a department. Via this box, you can import the mark from SITS, overwriting the one in Tabula.
• Where a student's grade for an assessment component is an indicator grade, the 'Calculate module marks' page no longer insists the same grade be used for components the student passed. The module mark is now calculated and the indicator grade is suggested as the module grade.

We released Tabula 2020.9.1 on Wednesday 9^th September 2020. In this version:

• We fixed a bug that affected the student status filter on the 'My personal tutees' page. When you select 'Clear selected items' for this filter, permanently withdrawn students are now shown. Previously, these students only appeared if 'Permanently Withdrawn' was selected.

We released Tabula 2020.8.4 on Monday 7^th September 2020. In this version:

• We fixed a bug in Marks Management that stopped mark histories from displaying for modules with CATS values that aren't whole numbers.
• We completed some preparatory work to enable Exams Office staff to amend details of resits in Tabula.

We released SiteBuilder 2.447 on Monday 7^th September 2020. In this version:

• We fixed a bug that prevented forwarding pages from being purged.
• Submission notification emails for payment forms now state that submitted data cannot be included. This is because email is not a secure medium and should not be used for personal or sensitive data.
