Hello everyone, The following versions of Totara have now been released:
Key: + Evergreen only
Important:
TL-9352 New site registration form
In this release we have added a site registration page under Site
Administration > Totara Registration. Users with the 'site:config'
capability will be redirected to the page after upgrade until registration
has been completed.
Please ensure you have the registration code available for each site before
you upgrade. Partners can obtain the registration code for their customers'
sites via the Subscription Portal. Direct subscribers will receive their
registration code direct from Totara Learning.
For more information see the help documentation:
https://help.totaralearning.com/display/TLE/Totara+registration
Security issues:
TL-16270 360° Feedback now correctly disposes of the user's access token when no longer needed
Previously if a user accessed a 360° Feedback instance using a token, that
token would be stored in the user's session and would allow them to access
the 360° Feedback as a user (not with a token).
The token used to access the first 360° Feedback instance is now disposed
of correctly.
Improvements:
TL-14937 Added popover UI component
This UI component is based off the bootstrap 3 popover component. This can
be viewed through the core/progress_bar template in the template library
(Site administration > Development > Template library)
TL-15798 + Added default values for filters
TL-15832 + Updated xpath when matching against html tables using Behat to allow non-exact matches
TL-15895 + Added the 'Send to self' option to Email settings for Scheduled reports
TL-15896 + Added a report builder administration setting to control what scheduled report email options are available
TL-15907 Improved how evidence custom field data is saved when importing completion history
TL-16154 Improved CSS of the last course accessed block, increasing the width of the progress bar
TL-16176 + Converted maintenance countdown timer to use the correct notification template and AMD module
TL-16217 + Removed deprecated custom menu functionality
Please use Site administration > Appearance > Main menu instead
TL-16432 Course completion history records are now included in course backups and can be restored
Bug fixes:
TL-9360 Managers approving Seminar booking requests are now notified of the updates success
Previously, when a manager approved staff requests for bookings into a
Seminar event, they would then be redirected to a page saying 'You can not
enrol yourself in this course' (assuming they were not enrolled or did not
have other permissions to view the attendees page). Following any approvals
(by a manager or any other user), the page will now refresh onto the
approval required page, with a message confirming the update was
successful.
TL-9462 Improved page layout when confirming a learning plan template workflow change
TL-13934 Fixed 'user' join not in join list for content in the message report
TL-14776 Fixed quickform error when using a multiselect custom field
TL-15029 Fixed brief positioning issue when scrolling a 360° Feedback page
TL-15956 Set the RPL fields on the course completion report to read only when appropriate
Previously, the RPL fields were allowing data to be entered/edited when
users were already complete. The form will now set them to read only in
this situation. There is also now a column with a link to the course
completion editor, which should be used if changes are required.
TL-16173 Program error messages are now rendered as standard notifications
TL-16253 HTML pasted into Atto is now sanitised to remove markup known to cause display issues
When copying HTML into an Atto editor instance, script, iframe and head
HTML tags are now removed. These tags can be added manually when editing
the text in source mode.
TL-16287 Fixed renaming of user profile fields breaking HR Import user source settings
If the HR Import user source (CSV or Database) was configured to import a
custom profile field and the field short name was changed then HR Import
would no longer import data to it. In some situations it would then be
impossible to re-add the field. This has now been fixed.
TL-16296 Fixed a bug leading to schedule changes for reports being forgotten
TL-16312 Fixed formatting of text area fields in the Database course activity when exporting
When exporting text area field data from the Database activity the field
content included HTML tags. It now converts the HTML to standard text.
TL-16318 Fixed calendar events for single Seminar sessions with multiple dates
TL-16320 The standard loading icon is now used when managing course groups
TL-16376 Fixed LDAP sync for user profile custom menu field
TL-14170 fixed a problem where custom user profile fields were not being
synced with an LDAP backend. The fix worked for all user profile custom
fields except for menu dropdowns which required an extra processing step
during the LDAP syncing. This has now been fixed.
TL-16386 Fixed dashboard reset error with deleted users
TL-16396 Fixed an SQL error occurring due to a missing default
This may have affected sites that have upgraded through Totara 2.5, and
which were using Seminar room functionality.
A missing upgrade step may have lead to an incorrect null default value
existing in the facetoface_room table.
The fix for this issue has added the missing upgrade step which correctly
removes the null values and replaces them with the expected "0".
TL-16404 Prevented default content being duplicated when restoring a course from the recycle bin
TL-16405 Added RPL data to course backup and restore
This in turn means that RPL data will be restored on courses retrieved from
the recycle bin.
TL-16411 Fixed unused custom grade scales not included in course backups
TL-16417 Added missing include in the features link block external tests
TL-16420 Course tiles are hidden in Featured Links blocks when the referenced course is deleted
TL-16422 Fixed and removed forgotten deprecated location code in Seminar
TL-16428 Ensured all HR Import sources run regardless of any error detected in the previous source
Previously, if an error occurred while importing an HR Import source, the
following sources would not be processed. Now, the following sources will
be processed, regardless of the result of earlier source imports.
TL-16429 Fixed session details missing from Trainer confirmation email
TL-16430 Fixed alphabetical order user list when selecting a manager
TL-16435 Fixed missing "Notification does not exist" string
TL-16436 Fixed missing sesskey in Seminar notifications
TL-16443 Fixed an SQL error in the Appraisal details report due to multi-select questions
TL-16515 Fixed upgrade problem in langimport due to moodle merge
API changes:
