As a “dot release” this would usually be only bug fixes, but this release includes a new feature as well. Bugs first…
The “create template” button created the wrong file type
This is now fixed. Templates are “plain text” files.
Three task templates fixed
The Abstract Review, Article Review, and Router (3 way) templates contained syntax errors. These are now fixed when you create a new Persona. For existing Personas, create a new Persona and copy/paste the templates you want to update.
Edit disabled on Feed documents
The documents and feed and venue folders should not be edited – these should represent was is actually “out there” on the web.
Clicking doc title in Feed folder goes 404
Oops. This is now fixed.
Expand features in TinyMCE editor
In particular, you can now more easily insert links, videos, and special characters. Also note that there is a continuing “weirdness” in the source editor. Depending on your browser, it might not appear to work, but it really does – it is just horrible UI. Sometimes you won’t see a cursor or selection highlighting for example!
HIT “template” renamed to “definition”
For those of you racing ahead in the training, the terminology around creating an MTurk workflow was confusing. This has been (I think) fixed. The “HIT Templates” are the files under the Templates tab. The “HIT Definition” is what you create on the “HIT” tab. Previously, these were both called “templates” which was of course pretty confusing.
The (new) “Delay” workflow
A brand new feature that was scheduled for release 4.1 has been accelerated into this release. The Delay workflow is somewhat like Scheduler. It runs on a folder and moves documents based on time. The Scheduler moves documents on specific absolute times. The Delay workflow moves documents after a specified delay. Delay flows will be especially useful when we get to content promotion.
