Release 9.5 (22nd March 2017):
Security issues:
TL-2986 Added checks for the moodle/cohort:view capability to the audience filter in user, course, and program report sources
TL-12452 Added validation to the background colour setting for TeX notation
TL-12733 Email self-registration now validates recaptcha first and hides error messages relating to username and email if they exist
TL-12907 Fixed user preference handling to prevent malicious serialised object attacks
Improvements:
TL-11292 Added accessible text to the "Number of Attendees (linked to attendee page)" column when viewing Seminar events embedded report
TL-11311 Added labels to the default messages page to improve accessibility
TL-11320 Added accessible text when exporting a hierarchy
TL-12366 Improved the usability of the program assignments interface
There were some totals in the program assignments interface which could be
misleading given that they may not take into account whether the program is
active or not and may count users multiple times if they are in multiple
assigned groups. The number of assigned learners is now only shown while a
program is active (within available from and until dates, if they are
enabled).
TL-12396 Upgraded jQuery to 2.2.4 and jQuery Migrate to 1.2.1
TL-12398 Created a new plaintext display class to ensure correct formatting in Report Builder exports
A new Report builder display class "plaintext" has been introduced to serve
two specific functions:
1. Ensure that plaintext columns such as "idnumber" are correctly formatted
in Report builder exports to formats such as Excel and ODS.
2. To improve the rendering performance of the above columns by avoiding
unnecessary formatting applied to text content by default.
TL-12402 Added a CLI script to automatically fix scheduled reports without recipients
Prior to Totara 2.7.2 scheduled reports which were configured without any
recipients would be emailed to the creator despite them not being an actual
recipient.
In Totara 2.7.2 this was fixed and the scheduled report was sent
recipients.
This change in behaviour left some sites with scheduled reports that were
not being sent to the original creator.
To aid those affected by this behaviour we have created a script that will
find scheduled reports that have no recipients and add the creator of the
report as a recipient.
To run this report simply execute "php admin/cli/fix_scheduled_reports.php"
as the web user on your Totara installation.
TL-12637 Introduced a new capability allowing users to view private custom field data within user reports
TL-9405 fixed a bug in user reports in which the users themselves could not
see custom field values when the visibility of the custom field was set to
"visible to user". In the original code however, while the users themselves
could not see the values, their managers could.
This patch creates a new capability
"totara/core:viewhiddenusercustomfielddata" to allow the code to work like
the original but with the fix from TL-9045. Now not only can the users
themselves see the values, everyone with the new capability can also do so.
TL-12662 Ensured users with program management capabilities can always access management interface
Previously, users could have capabilities to modify various aspects of
programs, such as assigning users. They could access the relevant page by
entering the correct url but could not access them via the interface if
they did not have 'totara/program:configuredetails'. That capability was
only necessary to use the 'Edit' tab and should not prevent other access.
Users may now see the 'Edit program details' button when they have any
program edit capabilities for a given program. They may also access the
overview page via that button and the tabs they have access to from there.
TL-12665 Added a page title when completing a learning plan
TL-12689 Removed 'View' button for appraisal stages without any visible pages
TL-12745 Added unit tests to report builder date filter.
Bug fixes:
TL-11255 Fixed incorrect indication that manager must complete an appraisal after completion
TL-12451 Fixed the display of graphs within Report Builder when using the sidebar filter
TL-12454 Corrected handling when organisation parentid equals 0
Before the fix, if a parentidnumber of 0 was used when importing
organisation data using HR Import it would be ignored and treated as an
empty value. Consequently, if you had an organisation structure where
idnumber for the top most level was 0, when the second level of
organisations are imported, they would be added at the top level (because
HR import consider them to have no parent). This has now been fixed.
TL-12615 Stopped managers receiving Program emails for their suspended staff members
TL-12621 Fixed navigation for multilevel SCORM packages
TL-12643 Fixed guest access throwing error when using the enhanced catalog
TL-12645 Fixed cache warnings on Windows systems occurring due to fopen and rename system command
TL-12669 Ensured Evidence Custom Fields unique and locked setting worked correctly
TL-12681 Replaced duplicate 'Draft' Plan Status filter option with 'Pending Approval' in learning plan report source.
TL-12696 Ensured that read only evidence displays the "Edit details" button only when the user has the correct edit capability
TL-12721 Fixed misspelt URL when adding visible learning to an audience
TL-12734 Fixed how room conflicts are handled when restoring a Seminar activity
TL-12739 Improved performance when using the progress column within a Certification overview report
TL-12747 Ensured User Profile fields set as unique do not include empty values when determining uniqueness
TL-12762 Prevented appraisal messages from being sent to unassigned users
TL-12774 Added validation to prevent invalid Assignment grade setting combination
You must now select a Grade Type or the default Feedback Type if you want
to enable the 'Student must receive a grade to complete this activity'
completion setting.
TL-12778 Fixed the display of the "add another option" link in Appraisals and 360 Feedback multi-choice questions
Previously the "add another option" link would correctly be removed when
you added the tenth option to a multi-choice question, but would be
displayed again when you edited the question. Clicking the link when you
already had the maximum amount of options would make the link disappear
again without doing anything, now the link will not be displayed at all.
TL-12787 Added new capability: totara/program:markcoursecomplete
From 2.9.0 onwards, if a user had the capability moodle/course:markcomplete
set to allow in course or system contexts, they were able to mark courses
complete when viewing a users program page (accessed via required
learning). This was incorrect use of this capability, as that action would
only be valid if marking complete was enabled in course completion
criteria. This capability no longer allows marking complete via the program
page.
To allow for use cases described above, a new capability,
totara/program:markcoursecomplete, was added. This will allow marking a
course complete on a user's program page, regardless of course completion
criteria. This capability is checked in the course and system contexts. The
Site Manager role will receive this capability following upgrade.
TL-12793 Fixed a bug when trying to remove a regular expression validation from a text custom field
TL-12795 Fixed 'Program Name and Linked Icon' report column when exporting
The "Program Name and Linked Icon" report column, contained in several
report sources, now only contains the program name when exporting. Also,
the "Record of Learning: Certifications" report source had two columns
named "Certification name". One of them has now been renamed to
"Certification Name and Linked Icon", and likewise only contains the
certification name when exporting.
TL-12798 Fixed the display of description for personal goals on the My Goals page
TL-12801 Fixed exporting course completion reports to excel after filtering by organisation
