General Notes

In this release, the Notebook and Classroom Monitor's grade-by-step view became faster and easier to use for teachers and researchers. We added more features to the authoring tool, making it easier to create constraints, connect components, and work with asset items. The translation tool became part of the WISE platform, and development on both OSX and Windows became easier.

This release requires Tomcat 8.0.x and and java 7+ to work with WebSockets. WISE@Berkeley is using Tomcat 8.5.x with java 1.8+ (as of April 2017)

1. Add supportedLocales to wise.properties

(in wise.properties file: supportedLocales=en,ar,zh_TW,zh_CN,nl,fr,de,he,it,ja,ko,pt,es,th,tr

2. Run queries to update database

MySQL:

1. Add localNotebookItemId and notebookItemId columns to annotations table
alter table annotations add localNotebookItemId varchar(30) null after studentWorkId;
alter table annotations add notebookItemId int(11) null after localNotebookItemId;

alter table annotations
    add constraint FK_lklpu3fwsovjhx5wqsjlah0ov
    foreign key (notebookItemId)
    references notebookItems (id);   

2. Insert new translator role
insert into granted_authorities (authority, OPTLOCK) values ("ROLE_TRANSLATOR",0)

3. Update the language field for 'en_US' users
update user_details set language='en' where language='en_US';

HSQLDB:

1. In hsqldb/wise_database.script, replace Annotations table definition with below to add new localNotebookItemId and notebookItemId fields
CREATE MEMORY TABLE PUBLIC.ANNOTATIONS(ID INTEGER GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY(START WITH 1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,CLIENTSAVETIME TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,COMPONENTID VARCHAR(30),DATA VARCHAR(16777216) NOT NULL,NODEID VARCHAR(30),SERVERSAVETIME TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,TYPE VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,FROMWORKGROUPID BIGINT,PERIODID BIGINT NOT NULL,RUNID BIGINT NOT NULL,STUDENTWORKID INTEGER,LOCALNOTEBOOKITEMID VARCHAR(30),NOTEBOOKITEMID INT(11),TOWORKGROUPID BIGINT NOT NULL)

2. In hsqldb/wise_database.script, insert new translator role (find similar rows and add at the end):
INSERT INTO GRANTED_AUTHORITIES VALUES(8,'ROLE_TRANSLATOR',0)

3. In hsqldb/wise_database.script, update the language field for 'en_US' users. Search for "en_US" and replace with "en".
