Actually, now that I gather all the details I find even myself anxious on the rate that new things are added (or removed) from eFront. Perhaps we should slow it a bit…
Version 3.6 was released on 22nd of January 2010. Since then we released 13 new minor versions (approximately once every 2 weeks) with more than 2500 commits on our SVN.
Here is a list of the most important additions since the initial 3.6 release:
– IMS packaging support
– Autologin (via special URLs)
– Online help (via integration with the documentation wiki)
– Multiple coupons functionality (community++ and above)
– Feedback functionality (A feedback is like a survey but it can be embedded inside the lesson’s content tree)
– Curriculum
– Course instances
– User reports generator (expect another blog article about it soon)
And here is the list of the improved several modules:
– BigBlueButton integration module
– Gradebook module
– Improvements on RSS module to expose system content as RSS feeds
Moreover, on top of countless bug-fixes we modified elements like:
– We proceed with replacing flash-graphs with images to make graphs compatible with iphone/ipad
– We re-factored our XML API
– We improved the checkout process
– We improved the certification process (… only to change it all-together in a small future update with a speedier pdf generator)
– We improved the speed for big databases (thousands of users and hundreds of courses)
If you haven’t already, make sure you update your version to the latest – you will be pleasantly surprised by a better experience all-together!
