StudentQuiz 5.1.0

This is basically a bugfix release. Also, we can confirm it works with Moodle 4.1 as well as 4.0.

StudentQuiz 5.0.0

This version is compatible with Moodle 4.0 and later (and won't work with earlier versions).

StudentQuiz 4.7.0

Changes in this version:

• This is almost certianly the last version which will support Moodle 3.x. We are nearly ready to realease a Moodle 4.0-compatible version, and before we do, here are the latest bug fixes in the old version.
• Compatibile with PHP8
• Comments report can now report on private comments.
• Clearer UI when changing the state of questions.
• Fixed a bug with backup and restore of comments.
• Fixed a bug with deleting student-quizzes.
• Ensure question text is not displayed in the list of questions.
• Fixed a bug with filtering the question list by time.
• Fixed a bug when emailing a user failed.
• Fixed a bug where your preferred page size for the question list got forgotten.

StudentQuiz 4.6.0

This is the first release since The Open University took over maintenance for this plugin.

Also, this is probably the last significant release which will support Moodle 3.11 and below. We are working on a new version which is compatible with Moodle 4.0, but because of the improvements in the question bank in Moodle 4.0, that is requiring significant work, and will be a new version which will be the focus of future development.

• Support for using StudentQuiz with Moodle Separate groups mode.
• A new feature to allow the teacher to pin certain questions at the top of the list.
• When using the approval process, there is now an option to have private comments between the student and the teacher, as well as the public comments on a questions.
• The state history of the approval process is now tracked, and can be seen by the teacher.
• There is also a new 'Reviewable' state so the student can make it clear when they have responded to the teacher's comments.
• In the question list, all the little action icons by each question have been moved into an Action menu.
• Where we print user names, those names now link to the user's profile, as is standard in Moodle.
• There is a new admin setting, which can be used to limit the 'Default roles to exclude from rankings' setting to show only the relevent roles. This is helpful if your site has a lot of custom roles.
• The content of the digest emails is now translatable.
• Fixes to improve accessibility.
• Fixes to the visual design, for example where things were not well aligned.
• The automated tests were improved so they run more efficiently.

StudentQuiz 4.5.0

This is probably the last release I am doing. The Open University (UK) has contributed to StudentQuiz for several years, and has agreed to maintain this activity plug-in going forward. We are very pleased with their support and are very confident that their team will do a great job!
