4.2 Mantis Reports

Needs Jour Fixe Decision

The following Mantis reports have been tagged with 'Needs Jour Fixe Decision' and were therefore be discussed in detail:

4.3 Changed Behaviour in Maintained Versions

Below we list all changed behaviour in the full maintained ILIAS versions. This information is managed in a dedicated media pool to which all developers should have access. If not, please contact Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel].

  • Data Collection:
    • The new field type "Copy" was added to the data collection and can now be selected for new fields! A copy field shows a selection of values from another tables entry and copies those to its own value without a reference, making it robust against manipulation and deletion of the origin value.
  • Media objects:
    • We moved to native video tags which do not officially support srt files for subtitles. The supported standard is WebVTT. ILIAS tries to convert srt to vtt on the fly. You will be not able to upoad srt files anymore, please use vtt files instead, see https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=43935
  • Object:
    • Titles and Desciptions will always be interpreted as strings. Contained html-tags are encoded and shown in their literal form.
  • Test & Assessment:
    • Cloze questions do not offer the option to edit gaps in modals anymore. All gaps are available, as previously, underneath the cloze-text input field.
    • Redirect: Starting with Version 10.3, we introduce a separate option to redirect to the logout screen, as redirecting to https://instance.url/logout.php does not work anymore since ILIAS 10.1.

4.4 Development Issues of Maintained Versions

The following development issues concern one or more maintained versions. Issues related to trunk are listed further below.

  • No issues to discuss today.

4.5 Pull Requests

4.5.1 Pull Requests for Maintained Versions

4.5.2 Looking for Shepherd

The following PRs are adressing components that are currently under no authority. So nobody has the authority to do the related code change and accept the PR. We are looking for shepherds that check and review the PR and merge it.

  1. PR9181 • Form: make autocomplete work for multi-text inputs (44429):
  2. PR9331 • [FIX] YUI: remove component and all includes.:
  3. PR9651 • StaticURL: Add optional query parameters to static URLs:
  4. PR10153 • 43780: Missing aria-described by with form element "Select files" in new text exercise unit:
  5. PR10162 • 0044577: Column labeling of the selection fields in the table is missing:

Thanks to all shepherds who already have checked pull requests and merged them (when okay)!

4.6 Continuous Integration

Please make sure you fill in all required information. You need to make the PRs against `composer_new.json` and `package_new.json` not against the production files.
  • Please do not forget to add the Tag "dependencies" to your PRs.
  • Please have a look at the proposed dependencies before the Jour Fixe. We will only look at those dependencies more closely about which questions are asked.
  • Be sure to be aware of significant changes in the maintenance of the dependencies you propose.
  • It is possible to propose dependencies later on, but in order to keep the trunk of ILIAS as functional as possible, we kindly ask you to go through all the dependencies you proposed for ILIAS 10.
  • The dependencies will be merged by the Technical Board.
