July 2024 Release Notes

[FinalAsgard]

• Removed the "Continue Exam" section from the home page and instead made the Exam button resume an already in-progress exam if one exists.
• Created a new style (in Dark mode) for the site from the ground up. This new design is mobile friendly.

• Installed a new Feature Flag package

Feature flags will allow me to slowly develop larger features and deploy the changes regularly without causing any issues before the feature is complete. This will enable me to spend more of my short development windows on making progress toward the larger features instead of waiting for an open weekend to work on it.

• Added security to the tests so you can no longer view/take private tests by URL hacking.

Work has started on the Practice Flash Cards feature that will be coming soon.

The earlier deployment broke the ability to take Public tests. That has been resolved now.
