New release Evaluation 5.6

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

New Features & Improvements

USABILITY - Success URL is remembered after login - EV-60
When an authenticated URL is shared, via mail or chat, the user is prompted to login. After the login we will again automatically forward to the original URL.

This e.g. allows coordinators to access the report page directly from an email.

REPORTING, USABILITY - Report button should only show active templates - EV-53
When creating a report over multiple evaluations only the active templates are shown, based on start/end date.

USABILITY, MANAGEMENT - Deactivate evaluated teachers - EV-52
Administrators can now disable evaluated teachers using the pencil icon on the evaluation page.
This allows for removing a teacher from an evaluation that has run, but where the teacher was not involved in the course. Even if participants evaluated this teacher.

MANAGEMENT - Login page now supports multiple languages - EV-49
It is now possible to switch language in the login page, this will also update the labels.

USABILITY - Removed Twitter/X widget - EV-51
The dashboard will no longer show the Twitter/X widget.

SECURITY, MANAGEMENT - Course coordinator should not be able to change templates - EV-42
Due to an incorrect implementation of a security rule a course coordinator (a non-admin user, and only allowed to select blocks) was able to modify the block template.

This has been fixed and is released as a hot-fix prior to this release.

INTEGRATION -  Portal integration API now also supports JSON - EV-39
The TE Evaluate API is extended with a REST/JSON service that allows writing portal integrations, e.g. a portal widget that shows the number of open evaluations for a student.

REPORTING, USABILITY - Dashboard participant totals should show active participants (students) - EV-34
On the dashboard we used to show all participants on an evaluation, including the disabled participants.

The displayed number of participants is changed to only show the total of active participants, ignoring the disabled.

MISCELLANEOUS - Upgraded Spring Boot - EV-59
Upgraded the Spring Boot framework to version 3.2, enhancing performance, reliability, and security across the system.
