Upgrade to Core 3.11.5

As part of this maintenance pack, the team in Open LMS upgraded the platform to 3.11.5, adding the corresponding fixes, improvements, and security patches of versions 3.11.4, 3.11.5, and additional important backports.

Release Notes

For the full releases notes from Moodle.org, please see:

• Moodle 3.11.4 release notes – MoodleDocs
• Moodle 3.11.5 release notes – MoodleDocs

Release Highlights

Conduit bulk delete and bulk download

With this new release, admin users will now be able to bulk delete and bulk download files within the Quarantine section of Conduits Queue Manager.

Files that have been uploaded to the Queue Manager and were not able to be executed by Conduit, are added to the Quarantine queue. Now admins can select files within this queue and delete or download them in bulk.

This is not a default setting, so please request its activation via a support ticket if needed.

Accessibility Matrix in My account

Now, our EDU clients have a new view within the My Account page. This new section is called Accessibility and can be found in SNAP, Boost, and Classic. This view will serve as a point of reference where the Admin users can have information about how Open LMS is improving the accessibility of multiple plugins and how we are solving issues for different types of disabilities.

In parallel to the matrix, we worked in solving accessibility issues in three of our major plugins in Open LMS:

Plugins	Fixes
Snap	In a course view, the search bar in the TOC, had a slight problem with the label, the title attribute were changed to an aria-label, to ensure that every form element is not solely labeled using the title or aria-describedby attributes.
My Account	Table headers, plugins, and rules status had changed their color/background color to a darker one to improve the color contrast of the page
Centralized content manager	While creating a Master and a Replica, some headers were changed to have a semantic order of headings.	Checkbox to select all the Replicas had removed the label and an aria-label attribute was added to the input to ensure that every form element has a label.

UX and UI enhancements

As part of our commitment to improving usability and the user experience of our platform and plugins, we have made the following UX and UI enhancements to SNAP.

Snap upgrade page

When upgrading new plugins, a Moodle version, or new settings, the form pages weren’t being displayed accordingly with Snap guidelines. New styles were added to fix this and help the pages look cleaner.

UI Before

UI After

Snap’s menu cog

For some views in SNAP, the admin cog icon wasn’t being displayed, this was problematic to the users since they needed to navigate to other pages to use that functionality and it was not consistent with the navigation or ease of use.

Views where the icon was added:

• Category views
• My Account view

UI Before

UI After

Mobile App new version

Our new Open LMS App version, the 3.9.5.2, was released to our Android and iOS stores, and it has unique improvements from the Open LMS team:

Calendar sync

Open LMS App users are now able to sync their Open LMS events to their device calendar, and get useful notifications and reminders

New Plugins

Name	Version	Component
Atto Paste Special	2016031100	atto_pastespecial

Special considerations for plugins

Atto Paste Special – This is a community plugin for the Atto editor, that allows the user to paste content from several different rich formatting areas and either import the styling or import as unformatted text.

This plugin is available for all clients but is not turned on by default. Its activation should be requested via a support ticket.

IMPORTANT for O365 Plugins: The O365 plugins will have a major upgrade for our next version release (3.11MP3), which will require Azure app changes on your part. Please take a look at the documentation that we have created to detail these changes.

If you are using these plugins, we recommend you start reviewing the Azure app changes that you will need to make, in order to avoid any conflicts or issues with the plugins.

To be removed in 2022

We are considering EOLing Open Forums (mod_hsuforum), as current core forums offer very similar functionality. It is still under revision and we will keep you informed on any updates and decisions regarding this.

We will also be in the process of removing Legacy Lof (legacy_log) during this year.

This also applies to the plugin Progress Bar (block_progress). The creators of this plugin suggest the use of the Completion Progress block instead because it is faster and more efficient, easier to use, and more compatible with additional plugins. In Open LMS EDU we already have Completion Progress block, so we suggest you switch to it before the EOL of Progress Bar.
