Release Evergreen (23rd March 2018):
Key: + Evergreen only
Important:
TL-14114 Added support for Google ReCaptcha v2
Google deprecated reCAPTCHA V1 in May 2016 and it will not work for newer
sites. reCAPTCHA v1 is no longer supported by Google and continued
functionality can not be guaranteed.
TL-17228 Added description of environment requirements for Totara 12
Totara 12 will raise the minimum required version of PostgreSQL from 9.2 to
9.4
Security issues:
TL-17225 Fixed security issues in course restore UI
Improvements:
TL-9414 Required totara form Checkbox lists are validated in the browser (as opposed to a page reload)
TL-12393 Added new system role filter for reports using standard user filters
TL-16157 Improved the layout of progress bars inside the current learning block
This will require regeneration of the LESS for themes that use LESS
inheritance
TL-16731 + Added LESS structure to help maintain consistency with common styles
TL-16797 Standardised the use of styling in the details of activity access restrictions
When some new activity access restrictions were introduced in Totara 11.0,
the display of restriction details in the course was not in bold like
existing restrictions. This patch corrects the styling.
TL-16864 Improved the template of Seminar date/time change notifications to accommodate booked and wait-listed users
Clarified Seminar notification messages to specifically say that it is
related to the session that you are booked on, or are on the wait-list for.
Also removed the iCal invitations/cancellations from the templates of users
on the wait-list so that there is no confusion, as previously users who
were on the wait-list when the date of a seminar was changed received an
email saying that the session you are booked on has changed along with an
iCal invitation which was misleading.
TL-16909 Increased the limit for the defaultid column in hierarchy scale database tables
Previously the defaultid column in the comp_scale and goal_scale tables was
a smallint, however the column contained the id of a corresponding
_scale_values record which was a bigint. It is highly unlikely anyone
has encountered this limit, unless there are more than 32,000 scale values
on your site, however the defaultid column has been updated to remove any
possibility of a conflict.
TL-16914 Added contextual details to the notification about broken audience rules
Additional information about broken rules and rule sets are added to email
notifications. This information is similar to what is displayed on
audiences "Overview" and "Rule Sets" tabs and contains the broken audience
name, the rule set with broken rule, and the internal name of the broken
rule.
This will be helpful to investigate the cause of the notifications if a
rule was fixed before administrator visited the audience pages.
TL-16921 Converted utc10 Totara form field to use the same date picker that the date time field uses
This only affects desktop browsers
TL-17149 Fixed undefined index for the 'Audience visibility' column in Report Builder when there is no course present
TL-17214 + InnoDB upgrade tool and deprecated authentication plugins were removed from distribution
The following authentication plugins were removed:
# auth_fc
# auth_imap
# auth_nntp
# auth_none
# auth_pam
# auth_pop3
The following upgrade tool was removed: tool_innodb
TL-17232 Made the "Self-registration with approval" authentication type use the standard notification system
The "Self-registration with approval" authentication plugin is now using
standard notifications instead of alerts, for "unconfirmed request" and
"confirmed request awaiting approval" messages. A new notification was also
added for "automatically approved request" messages when the "require
approval" setting is disabled.
Bug fixes:
TL-16549 Cancelling a multi-date session results in notifications that do not include the cancelled date
Changed the algorithm of iCal UID generation for seminar event dates. This
allows reliable dates to be sent for changed\cancelled notifications with
an attached iCal file that would update the existing events in the
calendar.
TL-16555 Fixed email recipients not always being displayed for scheduled reports
Previously if you disabled a recipient option (audiences, users, emails)
existing items would remain on the scheduled report but not be displayed
making it impossible to remove them. Existing items are now displayed, but
new items can not be added for disabled recipient options.
TL-16598 Fixed a problem with suspended users and the "ignore empty fields" setting in HR Import
When the deleted setting was set to "Suspend internal user", the "Empty
strings are ignored" setting was set and the suspend field in a CSV was
empty. It resulted in users becoming unsuspended. The suspended field is
now disabled and not imported when the deleted setting is "Suspend internal
user".
TL-16820 Fixed the current learning block using the wrong course URL when enabling audience based visibility
TL-16833 Added the 'Grades' link back into the 'Course Administration' menu
TL-16838 Stopped reaggregating competencies using the ANY aggregation rule when the user is already proficient
TL-16856 Fixed text area user profile fields when using Self-registration with approval plugin
Using text area user profile fields on the registration page was stopping
the user and site administrator from attempting to approve the account.
TL-16858 Improved the location of the date time picker icon in the Report builder sidebar
This will require regeneration of the LESS for themes that use LESS
inheritance
TL-16865 Fixed the length of the uniquedelimiter string used as separator for the MS SQL GROUP_CONCAT_D aggregate function
MS SQL Server custom GROUP_CONCAT_* aggregate functions have issues when
the delimeter is more than 4 characters.
Some report builder sources used 5 character delimiter "\.|./" which caused
display issues in report. To fix it, delimeter was changed to 3 characters
sequence: "^|:"
TL-16878 Fixed the role attribute on notification and message icons
Previously the notification and message icons used an invalid "aria-role"
HTML attribute. This now uses the correct "role" HTML attribute
TL-16882 Removed the "allocation of spaces" link when a seminar event is in progress
TL-16920 Fixed the "show blank date records" option in date filters excluding null values
Reports that allow filtering records with blank dates were not being
retrieved if the date was null
TL-16922 Fixed multiple enrolment types being displayed per course in the 'Course Completion' report source
The "Enrolment Types" column for the "Course Completion" report source was
previously displaying all the enrolment methods the user was enrolled via
across the whole site. For example if the user was enrolled in one course
via the program enrolment plugin, and in another course via manual
enrolment, both records in the report would say both "program" and "Manual
enrolment". The column now only shows the appropriate enrolment type for
the associated course.
TL-16925 Fixed the calculation of SCORM display size when the Navigation panel is no longer displayed
TL-17104 Fixed an error when disposing of left-over temporary tables in MS SQL Server
TL-17115 Fixed the time assigned column for the Record of Learning : Programs report source
The time assigned column was previously displaying the data for
timestarted, this patch has three main parts:
1) Changes the default header of the current column to "Time started" to be
consistent with what it displays
2) Adds a new column "Time assigned" to the report source that displays the
correct data
3) Switches the default column for the embedded report to the new "Time
assigned" column
This means any new sites will create the embedded report with the new
column, but any existing sites that want to display "Time assigned" instead
of "Time started" will have to go to Site administration > Reports > Report
builder > Manage embedded report and restore default settings for the
Record of Learning : Programs embedded report, or manually edit the columns
for the report.
TL-17116 Firefox now shows the focused item in the Atto editor toolbar
When using Chrome, Edge and IE11, there is an indication of which toolbar
item is focused when using keyboard navigation in the toolbar. This issue
adds an indication to Firefox as well.
TL-17207 Fixed a missing include in user/lib.php for the report table block
TL-17221 Allowed non-standard JS files to be minified through grunt rather than manually
TL-17229 Fixed the display of the page while modifying Site administrator role assignments
This page had invalid HTML causing all form controls to be in a single
column, instead of an add/remove 3 column
TL-17230 Added a missing file requirement to the company goal userdata items
TL-17234 Fixed an error while counting the userdata for a quicklinks block relating to a deleted user
When a user is deleted their records are removed from the context table,
causing the lookup being done by this function to throw a database error.
TL-17259 Moved the previously hard-coded string 'Add tile' into a language string for Featured links templates
There was a hard-coded string in the main template in the Featured links
block, this has been shifted into the language strings file so that it can
now be translated and customised.
