Release 5.9.0 - 18th February 2025

Bug Fixes

In this release, we have fixed the following bugs:

Bullet point numbering issue – Re-Release

In a previous release we fixed an issue where bullet-point lists entered in text boxes would sometimes be converted to a numbered list on saving.

Unfortunately, due to recent site performance degradation issues we had to temporarily revert this, re-introducing the original bug.

This release will provide an updated resolution for the original problem. You may need to edit text where, for a short period, the original issue may have re-appeared. Please contact bud support if you need assistance with this matter.

Bud Messaging – Deactivated Learners

We have fixed an issue where trainers were seeing ‘deactivated’ learners within the Messaging Hub to start a conversation with. This has been adjusted so only active learners can be contacted.

Bud Messaging – Learner Status

We have fixed an issue where a Learner's status in the Messaging Hub was not correctly updated when changed in their Learning Plan.

Note for ETL and Report developers

We are considering the removal of [Presentation].[Application (Dates)] in a future release, as this has for some time been superseded by [Presentation].[Application Status History]. Please get in contact with your CSM if you think this would cause you any difficulties in your ETL or own reporting suite.
