    Highlights and notable changes AlekSIS® 2022.6 "Cohn"

    This release of the AlekSIS® distribution features the following
    notable changes for administrators and users, compared to the previous
    official release.

    New apps and features

    New translation: Ukranian

    All official apps are (almost) fully translated into Ukrainian thanks to
    the work of Sergiy Gorichenko of Fre(i)e Software
    GmbH    .

    Class register privileges for parent group owners

    Parent group owners can now get the same privileges as regular group
    owners. This means that by enabling the respective preference, class
    teachers can now get the privilege to update class register entries.

    This feature was sponsored and co-designed by Heinrich-Heine-Gymnasium
    in Dortmund, Germany.

    Seating plans

    Seating plans were added as independent app and with integration into
    the class register.

    Seating plans can be created for groups in rooms, and if desired even
    for different subjects of that group in the same room.

    This feature was sponsored and co-designed by Erik-Nölting-Grundschule
    in Hattingen, Germany.

    Notifications for substitutions

    Teachers and students can now receive notifications (via e-mail and SMS)
    for relevant changes in the timetable like substitutions or
    cancellations.

    This feature was sponsored and co-designed by Katharineum zu Lübeck in
    Germany.

    New integration: Matrix/Element

    AlekSIS can now orchestrate the Matrix chat server used in the Element
    platform, which can be installed independently and is also the base for
    several public school chat platforms like LOGINEO Messenger in Germany.

    The integration app can orchestrate Spaces, rooms, room moderators and
    participants.

    This feature was sponsored and co-designed by Katharineum zu Lübeck in
    Germany.

    Improved integration: Untis

    The import from Untis has greatly been improved by analysing more
    practical cases:

    • The resulting absences connected to exams are now correctly imported
      from Untis
    • The importer now does fuzzy matching for linking course groups and
      tries to rely on the assigned teachers if a matching course group
      cannot be found by the exact name

    These features were sponsored and co-designed by
    Heinrich-Heine-Gymnasium in Dortmund, Germany.

    Notable changes in existing features for users

    • The group overview page now includes more details about the group
      members
    • The user menu was redesigned and moved from the sidebar to the top
      navigation bar
    • Password changes and resets can now be enabled or disabled
      separately
    • Exams and connected timetable changes are now displayed more
      intuitively in the timetables

    How to upgrade

    To upgrade to the current release, simply install the new version as
    laid out in the install instructions. These instructions are supposed to
    be idempotent and can simply be repeated.

    Required manual actions after upgrade

    Administrators are required to do the following manual steps on or after
    upgrade, if applicable to their setups:

    • The Material icon set was changed, and data that has selectable
      icons must be updated to use the new icons. A data check will be
      raised after upgrade if this is applicable to the system.
