- Few bug fixes
- Few bug fixes
- Few bug fixes
- Re-factor show-if evaluation functionality
- Open Science Framework API connection
- barring unforeseen changes on the side of osf.io it is now possible to connect runs to an OSF project. Currently, you can only export the Run-JSON there (in essence, saving all of the run structure and survey items). You can use this for pre-registration or version tracking.
- improvements to testing
- when the test button is clicked in the edit run view, test emails are sent to your admin email address, not mailinator
- there are new buttons when testing surveys: a light bulb shows items that were hidden on the page, a magnifying glass shows debugging info (item names, requests sent to openCPU)
- our openCPU debugger (the accordion with info on the openCPU request) is now shown whenever there is an r problem (or you click the magnifying glass). it has the option to download the r code or the rmarkdown. That way you can edit it in Rstudio, which has much better code highlighting for debugging.
- improvements to the survey module
- now hidden items work consistently: every showif is only called once unless the return value in R is
NA. - only items on the currently visible page are evaluated (before this calculate items at the end of the survey were also evaluated)
- we've minimised costly openCPU requests
- now hidden items work consistently: every showif is only called once unless the return value in R is
- there are no more flashes of unstyled content (where the mc_buttons only appear after a moment)
- Changed URL slugs for public URLs
- CSS fixes
- bug fix release
- testing how zenodo mints DOIs for releases
- Items can be shuffled (in and between blocks) now.
- Timed submit buttons allow you to specify a minimum time in which to submit.
- Item tables can be imported straight from Google Docs, reducing the edit-download-upload-cycle previously necessary. Makes collaboration easier.
- A proper test mode
- you can now create test codes for runs. They're special in that they enable a bar with specific features (auto-filling forms, skipping to the next step in the run/ending a pause).
- you can now share test codes for runs before releasing the run to the public
- test codes have names like zanyElephant, which allow you to find them again if you're looking for a specific test case
- the first semblance of an OAuth2.0 API (manual activation needed)
- users can turn off emails from your study for a week or forever if you allow them to.
- Dynamic options are split by a comma
- Make 'time to last' for cron tasks configurable
- Pass page labels in one OpenCPU request
- Append formr version to asset URLs for poisoning
- It's now possible to present submit buttons by themselves on a page. Sometimes this might happen unintentionally if all items on a page are skipped via a showif, but the submit button doesn't have the same showif. In this case, previously, the submit button would never be displayed. We decided it would be more consistent to show it once. This shouldn't break anything, but might lead to an extraneous step in some very complex studies
- These release changes are preliminary and the mentioned versions are not recommended for use so ignored in this documentation.
- Architecture re-design(queue manager change, service-based continuous fetching, more TBD)
