As part of the project we are assessing the way in which we can support the growing community more, especially in relation to updating and maintaining the WebPA tool. Many of you will be aware of the mechanisms for reporting bugs/glitches found with the WebPA tool; this list[1], source forge [2] or through the project website[3]. In response to these bugs/glitches we are using a practice known as 'patching'. This allows the project to release files or solutions that help the WebPA tool maintainer at each institution to look after it and ensure that the most up to date version is available to the academic tutor. Rather than try and explain all the information about patches we have taken and tailored the information from OSS-Watch[4] and made this available through the project website[5].
To help you know when a patch has been made and where to find it we will publish the information through this list[1] and also through the project website[3].
So to begin, patches for the WebPA 1.0.0.2 version have been created and are available as follows;
2149287 Missing class function https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2149287&group_id=194016&atid=947739
2149619 Updates to the user class https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2149619&group_id=194016&atid=947739
2218881 Patch to correct out put to screen for edit assessment https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2218881&group_id=194016&atid=947739
2255277 Patch to correct output to the student during the assessment https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2255277&group_id=194016&atid=947739
Thanks
