12th of January 2025 (patch release)

This article contains this patch release's bug fixes.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where exercises containing .svg images were not imported successfully
  Previously, when importing QTI questions with .svg images, the images would not display correctly, resulting in missing visuals. This issue has been resolved, and .svg images are now imported successfully and display as expected.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where the Safe Exam Browser still required a quit password after removing the password from the settings
  Previously, when removing the Safe Exam Browser quit password via the interface, the password would still be required to quit the Safe Exam Browser. Now, the password is correctly cleared from the configuration and the password is no longer required to quit.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where the content of fill-in questions was not visible on the 'Insights' page
  Previously, only the question content was displayed on the 'Insights' page for fill-in questions, while the answer field containing the fill-in gaps was missing. This caused confusion, as the full context of the question was missing. With this update, the entire question, including the fill-in gaps, is now displayed correctly in the 'Insights' page, providing a complete overview of the question.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where students could edit and delete their messages in a discussion after the discussion time slot had expired
  Previously, students were able to edit or delete their messages even after the time slot for discussions had expired, as long as the discussion was still open. This issue has been resolved, and students can now only modify or delete their messages within the discussion time slot specified in the publication settings. 
  
  
• Fixed an issue where the classes column was removed in the student overview
  After the January 5th release, the classes column was unintentionally removed from the student overview. It is now visible again for schools that have classes.
  
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented user profile from being updated
  An update to our code base prevented the user profiles from being updated properly. This included changes to first name, last name and middle name. With this fix, we have restored the ability to update user profiles.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where the 'Edit courses' permission affected the ability to add users to a course
  Having 'Edit courses' permission disabled for a custom role was preventing users with that role from adding other users to a course. This permission is meant to decide whether a user is allowed to change course information, not its enrollments. This update fixes this issue and ensures the ability to enroll users into a course is not affected by 'Edit course' permission.
•  
• Fixed an issue where the new scan page occasionally created multiple attempts for the same result
  Previously, in some cases, processing all scans would generate two attempts for the same result, with one attempt lacking a PDF. This issue has been resolved, and we now create only a single result.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where adding students to a group did not add the students to the course
  Previously, when students outside of a course were added to a group, they were not automatically enrolled in the course. This issue has been resolved, and students are now properly enrolled in the course when added to a group.
  
  
• Increased leniency for recognizing A4 pages during scanning
  Previously, scanned written assignments could be rejected if the pages were slightly skewed and fell outside the acceptable alignment margins. To address this, we have increased the tolerance for alignment, reducing the likelihood of scans being rejected due to minor misalignments.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where the 'Results' tab was visible on employee profile pages
  Previously, the 'Results' tab appeared on employee profile pages, despite this feature being intended exclusively for students. This issue has been resolved, and the 'Results' tab is no longer displayed on employee profiles.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where question banks were not imported correctly when using QTI
  When importing a question bank (QTI), single exercises were incorrectly split into multiple exercises. This created more exercises than the original question bank contained. Additionally, text description elements were occasionally merged with questions, with the description text being added to the question content field. We have updated our QTI import services, ensuring the imported question banks remain consistent with their original structure.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where code blocks in questions displayed unintended line breaks
  Previously, using tags to denote code blocks within questions unintentionally caused extra line breaks to appear. This altered the layout and styling of the code blocks, making them harder to read. This issue has been resolved, ensuring that code blocks maintain their intended layout and styling without unnecessary line breaks.
