New database server online
Posted by: Fagbokforlaget admin 29. May 2018 15:46We've now upgraded our database server to a powerful Dell PowerEdge R710. This should give us quite a lot more of backend power, which should be apparent on the time it takes to render several types of reports.
If you're still having problems with timeouts we'd appreciate the feedback.

Better response time
Posted by: Fagbokforlaget admin 29. May 2018 15:46We've just updated to version d635521, which should ensure the excessive response times we've been seeing lately to be a lot lower.
A small fix for grammar mistakes in the Swedish version of the CEFR placement test email report has also been included.
A new server will be added on Friday, which should further increase the response time. Pay attention to the message of the day, it will inform you when this new hardware will be installed. The system will be offline while we install this new hardware.

Improved performance and concurrency
Posted by: Fagbokforlaget admin 29. May 2018 15:46We're still working on improving things, and more improvements will come in a short time.
This update (7088655) brings with it the following changes:
- Performance enhancement: A secondary database connection (non-transactional) is now used to perform high-concurrency activities, to minimize waiting between clients.
- Performance enhancement: Session refresh is also performed much less, which should allow increased concurrent activity.
- Performance enhancement: We've decreased the amount of times the database is updated with information about when the last time a logged in user did something.
- Performance enhancement: Logging of last access time on objects and containers has been disabled for anonymous users. For logged-in users it will now only happen if the object is considered "interactive".
- Bugfix: Android browsers should now be able to see something more than just a blank page.
- Enhancement: Album folder layout has been greatly improved.

New update with group enrollment feature and various bugfixes
Posted by: Fagbokforlaget admin 29. May 2018 15:46The update applied today (1743821) brings with it the following changes:
- New feature: It is now possible to create institution groups that students can enroll into without supervisor intervention. The new group_enrollment_ui template handler creates the necessary user interface.
- New feature: User information can now be verified by using the new manage_user_info template handler inside any document. All sites that use self-registration or otherwise add users in bulk are encouraged to add it to a visible start page.
- New feature: Any user config value can now be verified (or initially entered) via the new manage_user_config template handler. Only the date format has been implemented for now, but if you use it, you'll get a nice JavaScript-based date picker. All other formats will just get a basic text input box.
- Bugfix: Missing icons are back in the object and container permissions editor.
- Bugfix: Sites with PIN codes associated with them can now be deleted.
- Bugfix: A workaround for rendering issues in KFN for Internet Explorer 9 users have been implemented.
- Bugfix: Setting your initial avatar picture no longer gives error.
