Martin Kruliš edited this page Feb 12, 2021 · 3 revisions

12.12.2018

  • Updated Java runner and Java exit code messages, fixed Java compilation
  • File tables finally show "Download All" buttons
  • More strict submit checks: All files given must be used within evaluation
  • Improved Python wrapper, Python compilation removed (so runtime errors can be reported correctly)
  • Added switch in user settings for solution comments notification emails
  • Allowing teachers to resubmit any ref. solution they can see
  • Improvements of emails that notify about approaching assignment deadlines
  • Many bug fixes and tweaks

26.11.2018

  • Grand compilation optimization. The job config passed to the worker (which is compiled from the exercise configuration and actually submitted solution) is now much more optimized. Mainly, this means that the solution is not compiled multiple times unless really necessary.
  • Localized text redesigned in all forms.
  • Internal changes in configuration and build/deployment process of web app.
  • Partial implementation of Shadow assignments (not visible yet) in the web app.
  • Sending email notifications when new comment is added to solution.
  • General notifications implemented in API (not in web app yet).

21.10.2018

  • Adding download and delete features to pipeline files.
  • Allowing library and object files to be passed as extra files to GCC compilation.
  • Modifying role detection algorithm for CAS registration.

14.10.2018

  • Change Python execution command to /usr/bin/env python3 (coinciding with Python upgrade on workers).
  • Better way to detect student and staff roles from CAS attributes.
  • Filter input files of gcc/g++ compilation command, so that only sources and not headers are included.
  • Making API more robust when some part of the localized text is not provided in parameters.
  • Multiple bug-fixes and improvements on exercise config page.
  • Improving behavior of exercise multi-assign form.
  • Minor adjustments of GroupInfo page appearance.
  • Fixing bugs and improving SIS integration (supervisor's part).
  • Multiple reloading issues (exercises, submission evaluation) fixed.

10.10.2018

  • Pipeline modifications and extensions required to accommodate bison and flex compiler tools (required by advanced exercises).
  • Bug fixes.

1.10.2018

  • Big load of bug fixes.
  • Grand cleanup of endpoints returning groups and corresponding webapp modifications.
  • Separating SIS-related stuff from Dashboard to SIS integration page (aiming for maximal SIS-ReCodEx separation, since SIS features should be an extension).
  • Updating SIS extension to new SIS API (now returning also non-scheduled courses).
  • New webpack deployment configuration (preparation for rpm deployment).

16.9.2018

  • New exercise configuration page (visible to empowered supervisors and superadmins only, at the moment), which allows switching to advanced configuration and handle it. Advance exercise configuration offers pipeline selection, custom environment variables settings and manually set all the variables of the pipelines.
  • Group archiving and new page with archived groups added
  • Form that allows superadmin edit user's role on the user's settings page.
  • Internal performance optimizations, stopping pending AJAX requests when page changes
  • Various minor ux improvements.
  • Preparation for shadow assignments.

19.8.2018

  • Many bug fixes in web application, API, and Token Judge.
  • Adding a toggle button for superadmin to allow/disallow user accounts.
  • Remove java-jars hack and add jar files -- files that can be added to Java compilation like extra files.

10.8.2018

  • Exercise, User, and Pipeline lists on Exercises, Users, Pipelines, and Group Detail pages are now displayed paginated with improved loading and optional filters.
  • Exercise - Group relations can be modified on Exercise page.
  • Solution evaluations can be deleted.
  • Applying permission hints on multiple places to correctly display/hide controls based on privileges.
  • Replaced markdown renderer to support inline KaTeX, adding Markdown Math.
  • Download group results as CSV file.
  • Improving appearance of solutions and ref. solutions tables.
  • Improving appearance of date-time values and deadlines.
  • Restricting deadlines, how far in future they can be.
  • Fixing erratic behavior of submission progress bars. Adding refresh buttons to solution and ref. solution page, so the user may reload relevant data (if the progress bar was closed prematurely).
  • Python exit codes translated to error messages.
  • User may be in multiple instances (UI selects the instance automatically at the moment).
  • Shadow assignments (similar to global bonus points in old CodEx) implemented in API.
  • New roles supervisor-student (those who both teach and study) and empowered-supervisor (more powerful teacher who would be able to create custom exercise configurations with private pipelines).
  • Users may have one local login at most. Improving checks and security regarding credentials creation.
  • New token judge employed to produce better logs for failed tests.

11.6.2018

  • New UI for reference solutions which is more similar to UI for regular solutions.
  • Points assigned to a submission evaluation by ReCodEx may be overwritten by supervisor.
  • Short description of the exercise restricted, so it is not visible to students.
  • Text with a hint for students (not synchronized with exercises) added to assignments.
  • Exercises (and assignments) may provide external link instead of text in MD. If the external link leads to a page containing plain text or markdown (and it can be fetched by CORS request), a preview is displayed directly in ReCodEx.
  • MultiAssign form is more user friendly.
  • When assignment is published, an optional switch can prevent from sending notification e-mails.
  • SIS codes added to group info.
  • JWT tokens (for API scripting) can be generated at User Settings page.
  • Compilation logs are carboncopied into files (with much more benevolent size constraints) when solution is re-evaluated in debug mode.
  • Affiliation is not mandatory for registration and login using CAS (may improve login via CAS experience for users with strange affiliations).
  • Email addresses added to user names in UI. New mailing endpoints were added in API, so they can be used in web app in the future.
  • API added and updated several important endpoints which will optimize fetching data in future versions of web app.
  • Cleaner released for the first time.
  • New token judge added in worker (will be employed soon after due testing).

1.5.2018

  • Button for downloading best solutions in a ZIP archive added to Group Detail page.
  • Fixing multiple bugs.
  • Improving appearance and user experience.

29.4.2018

  • Introducing data-only exercises (the user submits only data which are validated by custom judge).
  • Improving Smart-Fill feature in test configuration form.
  • Gravatar optimizations — user may disable/enable own gravatar and configure whether gravatars are visible to hir in general
  • Results table in Group Detail page is sortable by name and by total points now.
  • User may delete own submission comments.
  • Performance optimization of various SQL queries, functions, and visualization.
  • Displaying judge logs to supervisors.
  • Do not allow to create exercises without assigned group.

  • Several modifications in API and default pipelines, which are not apparent from webapp yet:
    • All compilation pipelines supports extra source files given by exercise author (so custom frameworks or boilerplates may be used in exercises)
    • Added cpu-time alongside wall-time in exercise limits and submission evaluation
  • Multiple bugs fixed and minor improvements implemented in the web application frontend
  • Refactoring and consolidation of some parts of the frontend in preparation for the modifications of the API

3.1.2018

  • Added comment statistics to assignment solution list view
  • Pascal solutions will now accept multiple files
  • Added new file/folder existance check after compilation of user solutions (useful for cases when a compiler like FPC does not output proper binary file even if told to)
  • New loading screen to make sure the javascript bundle is loaded before anything else happens
  • Allow proper caching of bundle and static content in browser, which should bring better performance
  • Updated CAS login process, which should help especially on Android and (possibly desktop) Firefox to handle both authentication phases correctly
  • Display point stats in students assignment overview component
  • Multirow comment texts at solutions
