Release 9.4 (26th February 2017):
Security issues:
TL-6810 Added sesskey checks to the programs complete course code
Improvements:
TL-11291 Replaced the input button with text when editing a users messaging preferences
TL-11317 Added labels to the add rule dropdown when editing the rules of a dynamic audience
TL-11318 Added accessibility labels to Hierarchy framework searches and bulk actions
TL-12314 Improved HTML validation when searching within a Hierarchy framework
TL-12594 Added default html clean up to the static_html form element
Developers need to use
\totara_form\form\element\static_html::set_allow_xss(true) if they want to
include JavaScript code in static HTML forms element.
Bug fixes:
TL-8375 Fixed issues with audiences in the table for restricting access to a menu item
Added the correct module to the url when rendering the table rows through
ajax. Also, when the form is saved, if "Restrict access by audience" is not
checked then it will remove all audience restrictions from the database so
they will not be incorrectly loaded later.
TL-9264 Fixed a fatal error encountered in the Audience dialog for Program assignments
TL-10082 Fixed the display of description images in the 360° Feedback request selection list
TL-10871 Fixed duplicated error message displayed when creating Seminar sessions with multiple dates
TL-11062 Seminar events that are in progress are now shown under the upcoming sessions tab
Previously events that were in progress were being shown under the previous
events tab. This lead to them being easily lost, and after a UX review it
was decided that this was indeed the wrong place to put them and they were
moved back to the upcoming events until the event has been completed.
In the course view page, if "sign-up for multiple events" is disabled, then
users who are signed-up will see only the event where they are signed-up to
as they won't be able to sign-up for another event within that Seminar. If
"sign-up for multiple events" is enabled, then the signed-up users will see
all upcoming events ("in progress" and "upcoming" ones).
TL-11106 Fixed row duplication of Seminar events within the Seminar events report source
TL-11186 Changed user completion icons into font icons
TL-11230 Fixed disabled program course enrolments being re-enabled on cron
The clean_enrolment_plugins_task scheduled task now suspends and re-enables
user enrolments properly
TL-12252 Disabled selection dialogs for Hierarchy report filters when the filter is set to "is any value"
TL-12286 Corrected the table class used in Course administration > Competencies
TL-12298 Fixed RTL CSS flipping in Appraisals
Previously there were a number of anomalies when viewing appraisals in
right to left languages such as Hebrew. This fixes the CSS so that they are
now displayed correctly.
TL-12341 Removed unnecessary code to prevent page jump on click of action menu
Removed a forced jQuery repaint of the action menu which was originally
required to work around a Chrome display bug, but which is no longer
required.
TL-12342 Moved the block hide icon to the right in Roots and Basis themes
TL-12443 Fixed RTL CSS flipping in 360° Feedback
Previously there were a number of anomalies when viewing 360° feedback in
right to left languages such as Hebrew. This issue alters CSS so that they
are now displayed correctly.
TL-12445 Fixed completion recording for some SCORMs with deep navigation structure (3+ levels)
TL-12455 Backport TL-11198 - Added support for add-on report builder sources in column tests
Add-on developers may now add phpunit_column_test_add_data() and
phpunit_column_test_expected_count() methods to their report sources to
pass the full phpunit test suit with add-ons installed.
TL-12458 Fixed the visibility permissions for images in the event details field
TL-12463 Prevented the submission of text longer than 255 characters on Appraisal and 360° Feedback short text questions
TL-12464 Fixed a HTML validation issue on the user/preferences.php page
TL-12465 Fixed the display of multi-lang custom field names on the edit program and certification forms
TL-12585 Fixed a fatal error when trying to configure the Stats block without having staff
TL-12593 Fixed double escaping in the select and multiselect forms elements
TL-12596 Reverted change which caused potential HR Import performance cost
A change in TL-12262 made it likely that imported Positions and
Organisations in a Hierarchy framework would be processed multiple times,
rather than just once each. No data problems were caused, but the
additional database operations were unnecessary. That change has been
reverted.
TL-12603 Course reminders are no longer sent to unenrolled users
Email reminders for course feedback activities were previously being sent
to users who were unenrolled or whose enrolments had been suspended.
TL-12606 Fixed resending certification course set messages
The course set Due, Overdue and Completed messages were only being sent the
first time that they were triggered on each certification path. Now, they
will be triggered when appropriate on subsequent recertifications,
including after a user has expired.
TL-12616 Fixed the Certification window open transaction log entry
It was possible that the Certification window opening log entry was being
recorded out of order, could be recorded even if the window open function
did not complete successfully, and could contain incorrect data. These
problems have now been fixed by splitting the window open log entry into
two parts.
TL-12649 Fixed the rendering of Totara form errors when get_data() is not called
TL-12656 Remove incorrect quotations from mustache template strings
Quotations around template strings have been removed to avoid prevention of
key usage in string arrays.
TL-12680 Made the user menu hide languages when the "Display language menu" setting is disabled
API changes:
TL-10990 Ensured JS Flex Icon options are equivalent to PHP API
The core/templates function renderIcon may alternatively be called with two
parameters, the second being a custom data object.
