The release notes provide information on the features and improvements in the specified version. The release dates that are related to the version of the release are published in the Study guide release schedule.
Improvements
The issues in release mentioned under the section improvements are considered as new functionality, user experience improvements or bug fixes. Issues marked as hotfix are developed in this sprint but applied to the previous release or directly to production, depending on impact.
Modules should be shown in the correct order - SG-545
The order modules are shown in the curriculum structure in the study guide could differ from the order as shown in Curriculum. This was caused by the fact Study Guide and Curriculum both implemented their own sorting algorithm, instead of sharing the algorithm.
This has been fixed, and the order will be the same in Study Guide and Curriculum.
Synchronisation should be more robust - SG-544
The importer updating the study guide information directly from Curriculum or the Curriculum Broker stopped the import in case an error occurred. The importer is updated and will now not fail on an error retrieving a single object, but skip the object and continue with the import.
A practical use case is a module or module-group not being published, that is referenced from the published study. The import will not 'find' the object and raise an error. In the previous version this would stop the import, in the new importer the 'missing' object is skipped and the import continues.
Security
An integral part of our development and build process 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.
For more information on reported vulnerabilities, see the central database of vulnerabilities.
During this release no vulnerabilities were reported that require mitigation.
