Released January 28, 2022
Updated to support new outcome and properties in Momotor results

Release 2021.11¶
Released November 5, 2021
Updated Canvas API token handling. Before, if the app had to request a new API token from Canvas it would not delete the existing token from Canvas. This resulted in multiple “Momotor” API tokens listed in the Canvas user settings. It is safe to delete old “Momotor” tokens in the Canvas settings to clean this up.
Correctly handle the end-at dates for Canvas enrollment terms. Courses will now correctly be read-only in Momotor when they are read-only in Canvas

Added support for Canvas sections. When a course uses sections, the results overview can now be filtered on those selections. A reviewer can only see the results in the sections they are authenticated for.
When a Momotor recipe has an internal failure (eg. an exception in one of the steps), this is now indicated on the results overview and result detail pages. This information is only shown to reviewers.
Fixes¶
Filename suffix removal removed too much in very specific cases
Submission files with non-ASCII characters were not correctly handled
There were some issues with the processing of submissions when there were jobs queued when a new recipe was uploaded, or a re-evaluation was requested
Results with extremely large reports would fail due to the XML parser rejecting large XML nodes
Other changes¶
The default Java version when using
daemon2 compatible packages has been changed to Java 9.
This affects all assignments that are configured using the config_java.xml configuration file.
Use config_java8.xml to target Java 8.
