August 5 to August 9, 2024 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

Academic Admins and Registrars can now tag and untag selected students on course rosters.

If you like abbreviations and technical gobbledygook, you'll love this one: you can now add user roles as a variable for custom parameters with SSO IdP settings. So SSO IDP custom parameter values can now replace {roles} with a comma separated list of the user's roles, e.g. FACULTY,STAFF,LIBRARY_PATRON.

Bugfixes

No bugs, no fixes. Well, there were probably bugs, but everyone's too busy camping this week to fix anything. Well, that's not true, either. Looks like a bunch of tiny little gnat-sized bugs got dealt with, but they're not worth writing about.

Focus Sessions

No video this week, but there'll be some Focus Sessions next week...
