Release 5.8.0 - 6th February 2025

Bug Fixes

In this release, we have fixed the following bugs:

Scrolling issue on Reg & Cert modal - when adding new evidence on the Reg & Cert page, the scrolling of the modal occasionally froze so you could not reach the bottom. This has now been fixed.

New - Performance issues

As a late addition to release 5.8.0 we are making multiple updates that our investigations have shown were contributing to the recent site performance degradation. 

As part of these changes we will revert a previous fix to an issue with bullet points changing to numbered points released as part of 5.6.0. As a result of this roll-back you may see that text previously formatted with bullet point styling may change to a numbered list instead.  This is a temporary situation and we expect the issue to be fully resolved week commencing 10/2/25, no further action is required from our customers at this stage. 

 

Business Intelligence - 7th February 14:30

Please note your reports may be blank for a brief time afterwards. 

Benchmarking - EPA Duration

Adjustments have been made to the EPA duration metric in benchmarking. Previously this retained a learner post completion for the entire rolling 13 months, the graph will now show the EPA duration accumulating for the time in EPA up to the completion month in order to have less skew on the averages.

This change has also been mirrored in the Management Report version of this metric.
