New release Study Guide 2.36

The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version.

Improvements

The issues in this Valentine's day 💗 release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements and bug fixes.

Enable to update the status of import jobs - SG-347

The nightly import jobs could fail without providing a proper message back to Study Guide. This causes the status to be kept in the 'STARTED' mode.

A safety is built in the import mechanism to prevent from running multiple simultaneous imports of the same data. So this meant that in case of the above mentioned situation the import has stopped but is still marked as 'STARTED'. And a new import cannot be started.

To overcome this situation a stop button has been added to the import to enable stopping a running import, but more important set the status to FAILED in the above situation, so a new import can be started

Support added for use of / (slash) in the code - SG-381

In case a / (slash) is used in the coding convention of the educational objects, the navigation in Study Guide failed. This is caused by the fact the code, e.g. module code, is used as part of the navigation path to the module details. The / was considered a path in the navigation and not as a code, so the URL couldn't find the object, since the path followed was incorrect due to the /.

A fix is applied to encode the / in case it is used as part of a code, so the Browser and navigation can identify the distinction between the / used for the path and the / (%2F) used in a code.

Security

An integral part of our develop and build processes is automatic scanning for known security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities will be fixed based on their impact, which means that in some cases an immediate hot-fix will be applied, and in other cases the vulnerability will be fixed in the current or next Sprint (release). The security section provides an overview of the vulnerabilities mitigated.
