Changelog: Abitti 2 server

Tulosta Sulje

0.17.0 (2025-03-21)

Server can now function without a constant internet connection to DNS
Improved server performance, especially in situations where students generate large amounts of answer versions
Fixed an issue where students logging into the system would cause an append-only load to the server, which would persist even after they’ve long since left the exam, and would only disappear when all student sessions were invalidated (by e.g. uploading a new exam)
Fixed a transient hard crash related to student monitoring
Fixed a bug where the answer save indicator would display too early
Removed support for load simulation exams
Improvements to window management ergonomics
Desktop’s top bar can now be accessed with keyboard by pressing Shift + Alt + UpArrow (caveat: does not work from companion apps yet)
Meta: Improved accuracy of server performance measurements. Server is now tested against up to 200 students in increments of 25 students (~1 teaching group)

0.16.1 (2025-03-17)

All windows are always displayed in the top bar, and can be easily accessed from there. Window’s are not minimised to the bottom
Screenshot tool has been removed in favour of OS-native options
To improve performance, the exam is already loaded while student is still waiting for the exam to start
Improvements to how windows behave when being split or maximised
Minor performance improvements

0.16.0 (2025-03-07)

Dramatically improved server performance. The exam server is now capable of loading in concurrent 300 students into the exam within 1 minute

0.12.0 (2025-02-07)

0.11.0 (2025-01-31)

Fixed a critical data corruption bug that would result in student sessions becoming permanently locked up, preventing them from continuing. This bug would also prevent the exam answers from being imported into oma.abitti
Fixed a bug that would prevent the supervisor from disconnecting replication nodes
Fixed a bug where student browsers would sometimes not attempt HTTPS connections to the KTP and thus causing nginx to error out. Fixed by automatically upgrading HTTP connections to HTTPS
Fixed a bug in the supervisor view that would cause the scroll state of the student list to jump around under load
Added initial support for keeping exam minutes (koepöytäkirja)
Internal: Start collecting CouchDB telemetry
