Notice

We decided against a timely release of the previously announced version 1.3.0 because it would have introduced quite a few breaking changes. We will instead release the important changes of 1.3.0 over the next couple weeks and move most of the breaking changes to version 2.0. We plan to make version 2.0 available along side version 1.x.x.

Changes:

1. New: The student session POST/PUT/PATCH endpoints can now also set the close_time of the student session. The close_time determines the point in time after which the student may no longer start an exam. It's the student sessions equivalent of the end_time of an exam.

2. New: Added the level_of_suspicion property to the student session resource. It indicates how suspicious the student is on a scale of 1 to 3 (very suspicious). A value of 0 indicates that the students behavior was not rated yet. This property may not be changed via the API.

3. Changed: The email property of the student session resource is now optional and no longer required by its POST endpoints.

4. Fixed: An issue that prevented changes to the open_time property of a student resource via the PUT/PATCH student endpoints was fixed.

5. Fixed: An issue that prevented the skip_requirements property of a student resource to be set to true via the POST endpoints was fixed.

Breaking Changes:

6. Fixed: A typo in the status property of the student session resource was fixed. It's value mail_send was renamed to mail_sent.

Known Issues:

7. When using the PUT/PATCH exam endpoints to update restrictions, all restriction parameters have to be passed in. Otherwise the remaining restriction properties are reset to their default values. This will be fixed in a future version.
