This article contains this patch release's bug fixes.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where taken assignments with objectives would not sync properly
  Previously, if a question in a course assignment had no objectives, it would not be recognised as synchronisable, even when it was. This meant that if the only difference between the question bank question and the course question was that the question bank question had objectives linked to it, the synchronise button would not appear for the course question. This issue has now been resolved, and the synchronise button appears as expected.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where administrators weren't allowed to upload files to question bank assignments
  Previously, administrators were unable to upload files to question bank assignments within the school. This issue has now been resolved, allowing administrators to upload files once again.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where questions failed to render due to an array variable
  Previously, if an exercise contained a variable of the array data type, the edit menu for numerical questions within that exercise would fail to open. This issue has now been resolved, and editing works as expected.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where ReadSpeaker did not highlight multiple choice alternatives
  Previously, ReadSpeaker did not highlight multiple choice alternatives due to compatibility issues with our JavaScript. With their improved highlighting implementation, we have re-enabled alternative highlighting.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where students assigned as reviewers or instructors for a course were unable to update or remove their own messages in ongoing discussions
  Previously, some users were unable to update or remove their own messages in ongoing discussions during the review process. This issue particularly affected PhD students who were assigned as reviewers or instructors for a course but still had a student role at school level. Now, we ensure that their reviewer or instructor role in the course is recognised correctly.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where assignments would not always be displayed on the old scan page
  Previously, assignments on the old scan page were sorted by upload date. This sometimes caused issues with lazy loading when scrolling, particularly if many assignments were uploaded on the same date. We have now improved the ordering to ensure assignments are always displayed correctly.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where variables in numerical question answers appeared to keep their old value after changing the exercise's script
  Recently, we added a new way to store exercise variables in the background. For numeric questions that were taken before January 19th, and had the variable answer change due to updating the exercise's script in the code editor, the old variable would still be shown on the right panel when reviewing the question. This was purely visual, and the grading of the questions was not affected. The student's answer was correctly shown on the left panel and marked appropriately. This has now been resolved and the variable shown on the right panel updates accordingly to the exercise's script.
