Change Log

All notable changes to the Adapt authoring tool are documented in this file.

IMPORTANT: For information on how to correctly and safely update your installation, please consult INSTALL.md.

Note that we adhere to the semantic versioning scheme for release numbering.

0.4.0 - 2017-10-17

Major refactor of the front-end application.

Upgrade Notes

Due to the changes made to the install script, this release restricts the installed framework version to v2.x.x to avoid unsupported breaking changes introduced in framework v3.

There are a few notable changes to the code that may impact customisations:

  • app:dataReady has been renamed to origin:dataReady
  • variables.less has been renamed to colours.less.
  • Some editor collections have been renamed:
    • componentTypes -> componenttypes
    • extensionTypes -> extensiontypes
    • courseAssets -> courseassets

Please check the release notes below for more information.

Added

  • Framework themes can now display a preview in the theme picker. To enable this, a preview.jpg file is needed in the theme folder root
  • Can now specify custom auth source for MongoDB (#1673)
  • New contentPane module takes over view rendering from Router, and acts as a consistent container for main app content. Makes sure scrolling is consistent across the application among other things.
  • EditorDataLoader has been added to preload editor data. You can use the EditorDataLoader.waitForLoad function to halt code until preload has finished. You can also use the editor:dataPreloaded event.

Changed

  • Major refactoring of the frontend folder:
    • 'Core' code separated into modules, and core
    • Web-app loading rewritten
    • Core LESS files are now accessible without needing to specify a relative file path. variables.less has been renamed to colours.less.
    • All duplicate LESS files have been merged, and put in their respective module folder
    • The adaptbuilder folder has been renamed to build
    • Editor routing code has been simplified, and moved into the sub-module folders. See modules/editor/index.js#L27-L55 for the routing code, and modules/editor/article/index.js#L10 as an example of the new routing method.
    • Events using app: replaced with origin: for consistency. Most notably: any code using app:dataReady will need to be switched over to listen to origin:dataReady
    • Router has been refactored, and the following convenience functions added: navigateTo - wrapper for Backbone.Router.navigate, navigateToLogin, setHomeRoute and navigateToHome
    • Editor collections have been renamed to reflect the MongoDB collection names: editor.componentTypes -> editor.componenttypes, editor.extensionTypes -> editor.extensiontypes, editor.courseAssets -> editor.courseassets
    • window.polyglot has been abstracted into the new localisation module, which can be referenced with Origin.l10n
  • Dashboard module has been renamed to projects, and is the default home route
  • User management has moved from plugins to modules
  • Install/upgrade scripts overhauled:
    • Can now upgrade the server and framework to specific releases
    • Can now upgrade the server and framework separately
    • Install/upgrade scripts have been made prettier to look at (and more useful) with the introduction of activity spinners, and more helpful log messages
    • Upgrade script now ignores draft and prereleases (#1723)
    • Upgrade/install script now allows custom git repositories to be used for both the server and framework source
    • Framework version can be restricted so as not to automatically upgrade to a version you don't want to support. To enable this, specify the framework version in package.json (accepts any valid semver range) (#1703)
  • Besides the schemas, the user interface is now completely localised (#1573)
  • Improved multi-user support for previewing/publishing of courses (#1220)
  • User profile page is now correctly styled (#1413)
  • Newly created courses can now be built without any editing (#1678)
  • Must now input super admin password twice during install to avoid user error ([#1032][adaptlearning#1032])
  • Abstracted polyglot into the new internal l10n library (accessible globally via the Origin object). Language strings are now obtained using Origin.l10n.t
  • Backbone forms version updated, and override code tidied up/removed where possible
  • Boolean selects are now rendered as checkboxes.

Removed

  • Vagrant support has been dropped (#1503)
  • The user management's user list sort is now case-insensitive (#1549)
  • Front-end tests removed for now

Fixed

  • Framework plugin update has been fixed (#1415)
  • Unused user password reset data is now cleared on delete of the related user (#1553)
  • Copy and paste now correctly includes any extension settings (#1484)
  • Dashboard no longer hangs if large images have been used as hero images (#1470)
  • Server plugin schemas now correctly reflect the latest state after a plugin has been updated (previously a server restart was needed for any schema changes to be reflected) (#1524)
  • Preview loading route added to prevent preview opening in a background tab/window (#1636)
  • We now only attempt to load valid routes, avoiding unnecessary server breakdowns (#1534)
  • Mocha tests fixed, and integrated with TravisCI
  • Dragging is now restricted for components depending on layout (#1631)
