Features & Improvements
Short Answer input fields on forms can now be limited to a specified number of characters if you're in a character-limiting kind of mood.
People with tiny screens were getting the bottom of the App Dropdown cut off below-screen, so we made the dropdown scrollable when conditions merit.
Bugfixes
The visibility toggle on deleted bulletin board comments defaulted to visible but the toggle said ain't visible (or something to that effect).
A rogue permissions issue was preventing faculty from unpublishing lessons.
School closures used to show an edit option even though they’re not editable from the calendar; they’d then throw an error when you tried to edit them from there. We removed the illusion of editability.
Files uploaded to a student’s aid application used to be hidden from Financial Auditors; when they’d try to open them they’d get an error. We graciously extended to them the olive branch of true, working file visibility.
The dialog for printing tax receipts employed some kind of diversionary tactic and tell you that it would email the receipts—then it would promptly export them to PDF instead. What a goof! The dialog was updated to maximize honesty and minimize hijinks.
