v3.0.0

UDOIT Version 3.0.0 "Howey-in-the-Hills"

This is the first official open source release of the "Next Generation" UDOIT! It has been completely rewritten from the ground up to make it easier and faster to use. It's also more extensible, so we can more easily add new accessibility checks and other features. Cidi Labs put together a great overview video of UDOIT 3.0.0 that covers all the new features and user interface.

Changes Required for Existing Installations

• This is a completely new codebase, so doing a fresh install with a brand-new database is required! Follow the instructions in the Readme

Changelog

Features Added

• Completely new codebase using the Symphony and React frameworks.
• Support for D2L Brightspace, and the capability to add support for more learning management systems in the future.
• Incremental scanning. A full scan of the course is only done once, and only content changes are scanned after that, greatly reducing the wait time to start using UDOIT each time you open it.
• Issue sorting and filtering.
• Spanish translation. The entire interface has been translated to Spanish, although it may differ from regional dialects of Spanish. Please feel free to open an issue if you find any problems with the translation.

v2.8.2

UDOIT Version 2.8.2

This release fixes #630 . Huge thanks to @cidilabs for finding and providing the fix for this.

v2.8.1

UDOIT Version 2.8.1

This release fixes #622 , where UDOIT 2.8.0 incorrectly flagged all pages starting with an h2 as having skipped a heading level. It also adds more information to the error text, showing that the first level of an HTML file is an h1, but the first level of a Canvas page is an h2.

v2.8.0

UDOIT Version 2.8.0 "Gotha"

This will be the final release of UDOIT 2.x. This codebase is a bit long in the tooth, and a full rewrite is already complete. This and all previous versions of UDOIT will remain in tact in the classic branch of this repository. Stay tuned for UDOIT 3.0.0!
