GradeL Wiki Update

The GradeL wiki hosted at SourceForge is being converted from the old Wikispaces to MediaWiki. While this transition is taking place, the content will not be available. Hopefully, it will be completed soon. The new link for the wiki is http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gradel.

Another bug!

Well, as has become a tradition with GradeL releases, right after I get a new release out I discover another bug. This one will be obvious to anyone that uses GradeL to track student attendance. The column headers will appear two pixels higher than they should. Users who download the source package could patch the problem by editing line 919 of frmGradeL.class. The line should read:

temppb.Y = MAIN_Y + 1

instead of:

temppb.Y = 26

Of course, the fix will be included in the next release, which will now be sooner than expected.

Take care!

GradeL 0.11.1 released.

The bug in the 0.11.0 packages is fixed and the new 0.11.1 packages are available from SourceForge here.

Problem with 0.11.0 packages

Apparently, there is an important file missing in both the .deb and source packages that I uploaded to SourceForge back in February. A user reported an error when trying to create a "Marking Period Student Progress" report from the report menu. A GUI form file named StudentReportForm.form was mistakenly left out of the packages and prevents the report from being generated. A fix is in the works and will be available soon.

Keep the bug reports coming!

GradeL 0.11.0 Released.

Version 0.11.0 is a significant update to GradeL. This release includes buig fixes and improved functionality. Please see the ChangeLog for details and download the latest release. As always, please report any bugs.

Have a nice weekend!

Period & Exam Weights

The interface that I originally chose for editing period and exam weights was not great. I have updated the dialog so that it's function is more natural and easy to navigate. The grid will size itself to the appropriate number of semesters and marking periods and then the use need only enter values between zero and one into the appropriate cells.



The new interface will be included in the next release.

Take care!

GradeL Wiki

I decided to take advantage of the wiki services available to SourceForge projects. I plan to use the project wiki as the location for GradeL documentation. If you use GradeL, then you know that documentation has not been a priority. I hope to improve this as the project moves forward.

The url for the wiki is http://gradel.wiki.sourceforge.net. If you would like to contribute content, please contact me.
