v1.12.1

This release encompasses hotfixes that we had to perform in the course of the 29th of April 2024. Note that on top of that, media was not accessible in MaMpf in the evening due to an expired certificate of our media server (the latter problem is still currently worked on).

Hotfixes

• Add a missing key in a locale file (see #630)
• Set the raise_on_missing_translations config option back to false (see #631). We have set it to true in the upgrade to Rails 7.1 (see #609). However, this has caused troubles in production that we have to further investigate, so we disabled it for now.
• Downgrade Rack to 2.2.9 (see #632). This is because the new version produces an incorrect parameter hash for our controllers that contain nested forms. Will have to investigate further, so for now we downgraded Rack. For the root cause, see rack/rack#2128.

Complete list of PRs

• Hotfix: Add missing key in locale file by @fosterfarrell9 in #630
• Hotfix: Set raise_on_missing_translations flag to false by @fosterfarrell9 in #631
• Hotfix: Downgrade Rack to 2.2.9 by @fosterfarrell9 in #632

v1.11.1

This release just introduces a hotfix to deal with some small annotation-tool related infant diseases (namely when a lecture variable was nil and we didn't notice that).

What's Changed

• Fix annotation tool infant diseases by @Splines in #606
• Fix git.inputValidation VSCode setting by @Splines in #607

Full Changelog: v1.11.0...v1.11.1

v1.11.0

With this release we have a brand-new feature for you, the annotation tool. Create custom notes on the timeline on any video. If you want to, you can also make your notes visible for the teacher or publish them as comments.

Create a new annotation by clicking on the respective button. To open an annotation, click on the pin in the timline.

You can find more useful tips in our blog post (only available in German).

v1.10.1

In this release, we fixed the discard feature when editing an answer in the quiz editor. Due to a bug, it saved the edited fields instead of discarding them. We also pimped up the comments page a bit (see preview image down below) and replaced the search icon in the admin navbar.

What's Changed

• Fix discard in quiz editor by @Splines in #600
• Redesign comments page by @Splines in #602
• Replace admin search icon by @Splines in #603

v1.9.3

Apparently, the yellow comments bubble was still not fixed in the latest release, so here's again a fix. It was already deployed to production last month with commit 2731378. We didn't create a tag yet due to internal pipeline issues but these got resolved, so we're now ready again for some new releases soon ;)

What's Changed

• Fix unread_comments migration by @Splines in #594
• Fix erroneous media search by @fosterfarrell9 in #593

Full Changelog: v1.9.2...v1.9.3

v1.9.2

This release mainly fixes issues with the yellow comments bubble. Some users might have encountered the situation where the bubble was yellow, they clicked on it, but didn't find any unread comments there. This is due to an inconsistency introduced half a year ago that went unnoticed until now. We fix it by recalculating the respective database fields and by fixing the flawed logic itself. Apart from that, an issue with the media statistics modal not showing anymore was fixed. See the full changelog below.

What's Changed

• Fix comment status by @Splines in #585
• Warn about too long GitHub commit messages by @Splines in #586
• Migrate unread_comments flag (fix inconsistencies) by @Splines in #587
• Use warn log level instead of debug for unread comments migration by @Splines in #588
• Fix media statistics not showing by @Splines in #591

Full Changelog: v1.9.1...v1.9.2

v1.9.1

A small hotfix that made the "worked examples" inaccessible in some situations.

Changes

• Fix missing to_a to convert to Rails array by @Splines in #584

Full Changelog: v1.9.0...v1.9.1

v1.9.0

Happy new year 2024 everybody 💫 A new version of MaMpf is now available here 🙌

This release includes lots changes related to our code quality, mostly about linting: we've set up ESLint to lint .js files. In order to lint .js.erb files, we've written our custom ESLint preprocessor which is also available to the community here. Apart from JS linting, we also set up RuboCop to lint .rb files and reevaluated the rules we use. We also improved the VSCode integration such that the respective extensions will now automagically lint your files whenever you save them and give you good suggestions along your coding session. Please consult the wiki on how to set up these extensions. It's mostly just installing the underlying packages and activating the extensions. Everything else is already set up and ready to go, e.g. the specific extension settings.

Apart from that, there's not much regarding user-facing changes expect for the new landing page (background). It refers to the new aperiodic monotile (also called "einstein") found in 2023 by Smith, Myers, Kaplan and Goodman-Strauss, see their respective page and their paper here.
