0.8.12 fixes crash when adding students!

After a report from a new user on the forum, I discovered a silly mistake that was locking up the program and the CPU after adding more than one student while creating a new class. This bug is fixed in GradeL 0.8.12.

The ChangeLog and website will be updated soon.

Release of GradeL 0.8.11

GradeL 0.8.11 has been released. This release contains many bug fixes and a few feature enhancements. See the ChangeLog for details.

Download Release 0.8.11 today.

Latest Development Build

For those interested, you can download the latest development build here: http://littlerun.com/software/gradel-0.8.11-091607.tar.gz

This version includes three important bug fixes:

• Fixed crash in Single Student (MP) report.
• Fixed crash in Attendance Code dialog when trying to EDIT without selecting a code.
• Issue Date and Return Date no longer display nonsense data when there is no textbook issued (STUDENTS | EDIT menu).

The next release will include these changes plus any other bug fixes that are completed in the near future.

0.8.10 Issues

There is at least one glitch in the latest release. The Single Student (MP) report crashes. This is caused by a typo in the code. If you want to fix it yourself, change line 2432 of file frmGol.class to:

ELSE IF cl.mymps[CurrentMP].Assignments.Length < 1 THEN

I forgot the "s" on Assignments.

This will be fixed in the next release. Keep the bug reports coming!

Release of GradeL 0.8.10

Gradel 0.8.10 was released today. This release fixes the big bugs in the comments feature and the dropped students feature.

GradeL was improperly saving comments to the wrong students. The program was also not reading dropped students properly, which resulted in class files not opening properly. If you encountered this problem recently, you should now be able to open your class files again.

As always, see the ChangeLog for details.

Warning about Dropped Students and Comments

I discovered two nasty bugs today. The first surfaces when you drop a student. They are not saved correctly and so the file will no re-open. The second deals with comments. Comments are not saved and reopened the same way and so the comments for a student get bumped to the student below.

I'm working on a fix. For now, I would not drop a student or apply any comments.

Release early and often, right?

The start of the new school year and daily use of GradeL has brought many bugs to the surface. I suspect that I'll be releasing more frequent updates for a while as the bugs get ironed out.

Release 0.8.9 (out today via SourceForge) also includes some minor feature enhancements such as tracking more information about textbooks checked out to students. For details, please see the ChangeLog.
