The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates related to the versions are published in the Evaluation release schedule.
Improvements
New functionality, user experience refinements, and bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.
Generating a report should be faster and not generate an error - EV-398, EV-401
When generating a report using evaluation tags the generation time could be up to 10 seconds. The 'download box' providing access to the generated report was shown immediately after requesting the report and offering the download. A user clicking the link to the report would get an error.
Based on the above, multiple fixes have been done:
- Enhance the report generation speed by adjusting the query retrieving the data. Resulting in reports taking 10 seconds to under 2 seconds.
- Improve the user experience downloading reports:
- Download box will show information on the progress of the report, instead the link to the report
- Once the report is finished, the status is updated to finished and the link will be accessible
- Once the report is downloaded, the report is removed from the download box and removed from the server.
Uploaded images should not give an error 'image not found' - EV-397
Using the new, enhanced error logging analyser, we identified that in rare cases an error was thrown when an image to be shown in the evaluation could not be found. The evaluation could be proceeded, but the images used in the evaluation (could be a question, or the closing page) were not shown.
After some detailed investigation the cause was found and the code to store and retrieve images has been adjusted to prevent this incidental errors from occurring.
Median calculation should be correct - EV-403
It was reported the median calculation did not match the raw response distributions. This was caused by an error in the algorithm calculating the median. The algorithm has been fixed and the median will have the correct value.
Search filter should 'forget' the search value - EV-402
When using the standard search box to filter the evaluations the matching evaluations were shown. When clearing the filter on screen, the evaluations matching the previous filter were shown. So not all evaluations were shown.
This has been fixed and both the search on a filter value and clearing the filter will act as it should do.
Security
An integral part of our development and build process is the automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. Fixes are prioritised based on impact: some may require an immediate hot-fix, while others are addressed in the current or next Sprint (release). For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.
During this release no vulnerabilities were reported that needed mitigation.
