Assignments

A fix for this issue introduced a mismatch between the instructor and student view - the instructor sees text as rich text while the student sees it as plain text with escaped markup.

profile-1.3.11

profile-1.3.12

ProfileImageServiceImpl includes a recursive method call that can result in a StackOverflowError error. Normal operation of the tool is largely unaffected but errors can result if users view images via in the roster. This bug has been addressed in the profile-1.3.12 release.

Requires manual database script

The Sakai 2.7 Release includes a new feature that supports dynamic localization
of page and tool titles. To accomodate "custom titles" that should not be
translated, a new "sitePage.customTitle" property has been introduced to the
definition of pages.

In order to avoid losing any custom page/tool title changes made in previous releases, the
following zip file should be unpacked and the enclosed perl script must be run.

   https://jira.sakaiproject.org/secure/attachment/24199/custom-title-patch.zip

This script will generate SQL that sets the custom page title flag for specified tools that have locale-specific custom tool title names. This script will only
need to be run once. Future page/tool title customizations will persist.
