New functionality

  • Dropbox email notification option: students can now choose to email instructors when they upload to a dropbox, and vice versa (see SAK-10925 - Getting issue details... STATUS ) (note that this is a first pass through dropbox email notification options - we hope this will develop in the future)
  • Dropbox hot folders: instructors can now see a visual indication of which folders have been recently updated (choice between updated in last 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 1 week)

Minor UI improvements

  • Removal of inappropriate options from Dropbox interface (e.g. 'availability and access' settings that appear in Resources tool should not appear in Dropbox and have now been removed)
  • An improved, accessible dropdown widget for Add and Action menus (see SAK-10924 - Getting issue details... STATUS ) (note that although this is now accessible, no particular change is visible in the UI)
  • Resources is now somewhat faster (see below)

Technical improvements

  • Preliminary support (as part of a longer-term transition through 2.6) for the integration of JSR-170 repos, riding beneath CHS
  • Rewritten underlying Storage of entities to reduce memory usage and cpu load.
  • Some database refactoring to eliminate bottlenecks in the underlying chs.
