Release 9.11 (22nd September 2017):
Security issues:
TL-12944 Updated Web Service tokens to use cryptographically secure generators
Previously, Web Service tokens were generated via a method which would
generate a random and hard-to-guess token that was not considered
cryptographically secure. New tokens will now be generated using
cryptographically secure methods, providing they are available in the
server's current version of PHP.
TL-14325 Fixed an issue when users authenticating through external authentication systems experience password expiry
TL-16116 Added a check for group permissions when viewing course user reports
TL-16117 Events belonging to activity modules can no longer be manually deleted from the calendar
TL-16118 Fixed the logic in checking whether users can view course profiles
TL-16119 Fixed incomplete escaping on the Feedback activity contact form
TL-16120 Added warning to admins when a development libs directory exists.
New features:
TL-4156 Added the course completion editor
The course completion editor is accessible in Course administration >
Course completion, to all users who have the
'totara/completioneditor:editcoursecompletion' capability in the course
context (default is administrators only). The editor allows you to edit
course completion, criteria completion, activity completion and history
data, allowing you to put this data into any valid state. It includes
transaction logs, which record all changes that are made to these records
(both from within the editor and in other areas of Totara, e.g. completion
of an activity, or when cron reaggregates completion). It also includes a
checker, which can be used to find records which have data in an invalid
state.
Improvements:
TL-14244 Updated default branding to Totara Learn
Changed language strings and logos to use the new product name "Totara
Learn" instead of "Totara LMS".
TL-14275 Users can now cause self completion from within a course activity
This ability has been added to all core modules excluding Lesson and Quiz
(where a user should at least attempt the activity). Non-core modules will
need to be modified to support this functionality
TL-15056 Added warning notice to the top of delete category page
TL-15834 Improved Datepicker in Totara forms
TL-15996 Improved test environment init when switching PHP versions
TL-16148 Improved performance of category management page
Bug fixes:
TL-11012 Fixed formatting of grade percentage shown in quiz review
The configured 'decimal places in grades' value of a quiz is now also used
when formatting the grade percentage on the quiz review page. In earlier
releases the percentage has always been formatted with 0 decimal points
which resulted in confusing results.
Administrators and trainers are still responsible for ensuring that the
configured 'decimal places in grades' value will not result in confusion
for students due to the rounding up of the displayed values.
It is advised to use at least 2 decimal places if a student can score a
fraction of a point in any question in the quiz.
TL-14676 Fixed error when deleting a closed 360 Feedback
TL-14753 Fixed the display of grades within the course completion report sources
TL-14996 Disabled multiple selection during manager selection in signup form
TL-15038 Fixed error when trying to save a search with availability filter in Rooms and Assets reports
TL-15785 Fixed the display of manager and appraiser filters while creating a saved search
TL-15843 Updated job assignments sync to allow email to be omitted.
Previously, it was not possible to use HR Import to add / update User
source job assignment data without encountering a problem if this email
field was omitted. This has been corrected.
TL-15852 Fixed Restrict initial display when counting a last filter
TL-15879 Fixed missing icon from Progress column in Record of Learning in some cases
TL-15884 Fixed an Job assignment error when taking attendance for a Seminar activity
TL-15891 Added checks and fixes for orphaned program user assignment exceptions
Under certain exceptional circumstances, it is possible for a user assigned
to a program or certification to have an exception, but that exception does
not show up in the 'Exception Report' tab. In this state, the user is
unable to continue working on the program, and the exception cannot be
resolved. With this patch, the completion checker has been extended to
detect this problem, and two triggerable fixes have been provided.
To resolve the problem, run the program and certification completion
checkers to find all records affected, or edit a completion record, then
choose to either assign the users or have the exceptions recalculated. If
the 'recalculate exceptions' option is chosen and an exception still
applies to a user, then after fixing the problem you can resolve the
exceptions as normal in the 'Exception Report' tab.
TL-15892 Ensured course deletion does not effect awarded course badges
TL-15897 Fixed some typos in Certification language strings
TL-15899 Corrected inconsistent validation of Seminar sender address setting
TL-15900 Fixed manager's manager not updating in dynamic appraisals
After upgrade, the next time the "Update learner assignments to appraisals"
scheduled task is run, it will update any managers' managers that have
changed, where the update is appropriate.
TL-15919 Fixed missing delete assignment button for active appraisals
TL-15921 Fixed multiple display of seminar attendees that have been approved more than once
TL-15936 Fixed detection of non-lowercase authentication plugin names in HR Sync on OSX and Windows
TL-15937 Added missing appraisal data generator reset
TL-15977 Fixed SCORM cmi.interaction bug
TL-16010 Added reset method to hierarchy generator

Fixed bug in lesson activity which did not automatically remove files
attached to question pages when those pages were deleted.

TL-14676 Fixed error when deleting a closed 360 Feedback
TL-14753 Fixed the display of grades within the course completion report sources
TL-15875 Prevented temporary manager change from resulting in appraisal role change warning
Temporary managers do not take part in appraisals. However, when a
temporary manager was assigned to a user, it incorrectly resulted in a role
change warning being displayed. This warning is now only shown if the
manager changes.
TL-15891 Added checks and fixes for orphaned program user assignment exceptions
Under certain exceptional circumstances, it is possible for a user assigned
to a program or certification to have an exception, but that exception does
not show up in the 'Exception Report' tab. In this state, the user is
