Improvements
The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.
An URL (link) to another object should open a new Tab - SG-617
In case for instance a module is as a link, e.g. a required module for another module, and the module is clicked it opens in the same window. It is desired and more logical to open the details of this referenced module in a new tab and keep the original information in the initial tab. A change is applied to open referenced objects (study, module-group and module) in a new tab.
Improve the robustness of the matrix report - SG-671
In case a study with with an empty node (no module-group or module) was shown in the matrix report, this empty node generates and error and prevented the matrix report to be shown. This has been fixed and the rendering of the matrix report is more robust on these edge cases.
The flag 'only visible for administrator' should be respected - SG-580, SG-646
The option to flag fields as 'only visible for admins' for assessments and links didn't work as expected. The different combinations of 'visible' and 'visible for admins' showed the information not according to the setting. This has been fixed and the flags to steer / limit the display is working as it should do.
Next to this change it was found that the flag 'hide when empty' was not implemented correctly for links. This has been fixed too.
When using a reference field in the Assessment widget title, it should show the label - SG-581
The assessment widget supports the definition of the title, using the assessment fields. In case the title was defined using an assessment field AND the field was flagged as not visible in the assessment overview the title showed either the externalID or an N/A instead of the label. This has been fixed, and for an invisible marked field of type reference, used in the widget title, the reference label is shown.
Removing a filter on top of the search result should reset the filter too - SG-651
When using a filter (select an option in the filter area) in a search, the used filter is shown above the search results. The filter can be removed by clicking the 'x' of the filter to be removed. This only removed the display of the filter, but the actual filter in the filter area (the checked checkbox) was not cleared.
This has been fixed and when removing a filter at the top of the search, the corresponding filter in the filter area will be unchecked.
Changing a field configuration should not clear the reference type selected - SG-645
An error was introduced in the field configuration. Any change on the field using a reference type, cleared the reference type. This has been fixed and the selected reference type is kept and saved.
The matrix report should be visually correct - SG-620
The introduction of a new UI component caused some display issues in the matrix report. They have been addressed in this release and grid lines and multiple related subjects and their level are shown correctly again.
A print of a study guide page should show the institutes logo - SG-629
When printing a page, the defined logo for the UI is also shown on the left hand top corner of the print.
Security
An integral part of our development and build process is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.
For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.
No security vulnerabilities have been reported that require mitigation.
