Changes

1.2 (2014-06-16)

• Redirect to login page after using password mandate.

• Adding student payment tickets is logged.

• Provide XMLRPC services for storing and retrieving fingerprint scans.

• Sort ContextualDictSource by dictionary values not by keys.

• Add regular school fee and balance payments when exporting payments overviews.

• Add samePaymentMade method to StudentsUtils.

• Fingerprint file upload enabled.

• is_fresh property method added to Student class.

• Special application procedure modified. Special applicants must submit their form before they can download payment slips. Thus the regular workflow is now applied but, in contrast to regular applications, special applicants can create and pay more than one payment ticket. Also application slips are hidden.

• Add setMatricNumber and constructMatricNumber methods to StudentsUtils.

• When sending mails, always set from-address to ‘[e-mail]’. Real from-addresses are now set in Cc and Reply-To fields. This is to tackle problems with yahoo (does not allow yahoo.com mails to be sent from non-yahoo servers).

• Multiple payments in special application containers enabled. Special payment applicants remain in state started after payment.

• File input fields brought into shape with Bootstrap 3.

• Transcript and access code pagetemplates adjusted.

• Print QR codes on all student slips.

• Allow adding current_level to base data section on all student slips (requested by Uniben).

• Windows is no longer supported. Installation manual removed.

• API docs added.

• Back-to links replaced by animated jQuery plugins.

• Default frontpage text updated.

• Use absolute urls on datacenter pages.

• Provide customizable method for disabling student payments.

• After login and logout, regular users (officers) are redirected to the portal’s index page not to the portal’s root. The root URL can now be rewritten be Nginx or Apache so that the user is being redirected to the university website when entering the root URL directly or clicking the acronym.

• Show tooltip alert and warning window before updating plugins.

• JSAction has been deprecated. KofaAction can be used instead. Additional parameters can be used in @action decorators to enable tooltips and/or warning windows. The old @jsaction decorator still triggers a default warning message.
