- Feedback
- Previously, if the site ID of a course exceeded 39 characters, then the feedback tool was unusable. This bug has been fixed by expanding the character limit.
- Profile
- Profile2 will now only return results for Gatorlink (case-sensitive) and UFID lookups. The labels, tooltips, and help texts have all been updated to reflect this as well.
- Neoportal is a redesign of the existing CLE portal. An enhancement for version 2.9 of the rSmart Sakai CLE, neoportal improves the overall look and feel of the CLE, while also providing a variety of useful new features.
- Reference
- MathML is now available within the HTML editors throughout Sakai. The original enhancement called for LaTEX WIRIS, but this requires a licensing agreement. MathML is a feature enhancement within 2.9.3. that provides the functionality of creating and inserting mathematical equations.
- SiteStats
- A fix has been implemented to prevent errors that were generated when attempting to pull admin reports within the SiteStats tool.
Improvements from the newest community build of the e-Learning System
- AntiSamy security infrastructure is now on high setting by default (most secure setting). It was introduced in CLE 2.9.2 but was off by default until proven in production.
- Support for Math symbols in the Rich text editor (aka CK Editor) was implemented in 2.9.2.
- Institutional gradebook export function was implemented in 2.9.2.
- Export of quizzes using IMS QTI browser is fixed for Chrome browsers (still works in other browsers) in 2.9.2.
- Improved WebDav-client support and compatibility. In 2.9.2 there was a fix of a serious WebDav bug which resulted in data exits in v2.9.0 and v2.9.1.
- Fixed Roster tool in v2.9.2. An error was being thrown in many sites after upgrade from 2.8 to 2.9..
- A problem in the Gradebook API that was introduced in 2.9.1 and discovered after the release of 2.9.2 is now fixed. The problem primarily affected Contrib tools like Discussions (JForum) and Assessments (Mneme) and when using groups with gradebook items, it also affected the Lessons tool.
- Lessons now has better support for multimedia types and compliance with software license requirements. The JW Player library, which had a license incompatible with ECL v2 (Educational Community License version 2, a variant of the Apache version 2 license) has been removed.
- Lessons has better support for group management and sub-pages.
- Tests & Quizzes (Samigo) Fill-in-the-blank question type previously did not properly handle student feedback if the instructor manually changed the student grade for the item but this has been resolved in 2.9.3
- A problem in Assignments where an Instructor was unable to assign grades for unsubmitted assignments when using groups has been fixed in 2.9.3
- Sakai Help documentation was updated.
