Full Changelog: v1.3.3...v1.3.4

V1.3.1

Minor fix for timezone for Plan Release Date

V1.3.0

Notable changes

• Many dependencies, both frontend and backend, were updated.

New Features

• "Download All" attachments button was added to generate and download a zip file of all student submitted answer attachments. This can be found in an assignment's "Participation" tab under the "Attachments" column.
• The "Assignment End-Date" tool was added for admin users to query for the assignments end-date.
  • The purpose of this page is to search for ongoing or active assignments on a given date, to help plan potential schedules for testing, staging, and production environments.

New Environment Variables: For controlling worker memory leak

• CELERY_WORKER_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD - Kills a worker process and forks a new one when it has executed the given number of tasks.

• CELERY_WORKER_MAX_MEMORY_PER_CHILD - Set to memory in kilobytes. Kills a worker process and forks a new one when it hits the given memory usage, the currently executing task will be allowed to complete before being killed.

Breaking Changes

Celery 4 introduced a new all lowercase environment variables system. ComPAIR
is now using this new system. To adapt a Celery environment variable to
ComPAIR, convert the original Celery variable to all uppercase and prefix it
"CELERY_". ComPAIR will strip the prefix and lowercase the variable before
passing it to Celery. A few Celery environment variables were renamed in the
new system, the ones supported in ComPAIR are:

• CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER is now CELERY_TASK_ALWAYS_EAGER
  • Set to true if running stock standalone, see compair/settings.py.
  • Set to false if running via repo's docker-compose.yml
• BROKER_TRANSPORT_OPTIONS is now CELERY_BROKER_TRANSPORT_OPTIONS
• CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE is now CELERY_BEAT_SCHEDULE

Release v1.2

• The ability to create group assignments, meaning students submit one answer per group but still complete required comparisons/self-evaluation individually
• The addition of a student view, which lets instructors preview the application from a specific student’s POV
• The option to use specific dates and customized instructions for the self-evaluation step
• A new image orientation feature, so image attachments for assignments and answers can be rotated inside ComPAIR
• Improvements to the layout and data in downloadable reports
• New course filters on the dashboard, so instructors can view just their upcoming, active, or current courses
• New assignment filters on the course screen, so students can choose how they view the assignment list
• Updates to the look and content of the support site, including a new FAQ page
• Improvements to automatic ComPAIR account creation and LTI account linking (for tech folks: when ‘global_unique_identifier’ is configured), meaning new users coming from an LTI-connected application (for example, Canvas) do not have to manually make their own accounts
• Outside UBC: a back end change allowing easier customization of the login text and buttons

Release v1.1

• The addition of multidimensional scaling to the pair selection algorithm, meaning that answer pairs should be selected more accurately when multiple criteria are used
• Adding an option for instructors to include their own answers in assignments to see how students respond to and score/rank them (the latter applies only when the adaptive setting is used)
• Interface changes to improve the student experience (based on results from in-depth usability testing this fall)
• Most notably, more clearly labeling and indicating where to find peer feedback as well as showing completed student work over two tabs in each assignment (one labeled "Your Answer + Feedback" and the other "Your Comparisons")
• General updates to the mobile view of the application
• Removing assignment help comments (this tab will no longer need to be monitored by instructors or instructional teams)
• Sorting student work by last name on the "Comparisons" tab for easier grading
• Refining the consistency and readability of pop-up messages
• The ability for instructors to mark courses as test environments ("sandboxes")
• Improving the LTI integration (i.e., allowing ComPAIR to work more smoothly with other learning platforms like Canvas)
• New system settings for controlling the visibility of some private student data from instructor (default hides email and CAS username from instructor view/reports)
