In May 2025, slatex/sTeX-React delivered core platform improvements focusing on WebAssembly reliability, quiz robustness, and UI polish. WebAssembly integration updates reduced crashes during HTML switching and extended subproblem URI handling. Quiz flows were refined with a clearer Submit Answer experience, improved slide rendering, and feedback behavior when points are unavailable. Stability enhancements address section/slide edge cases, retry logic for data fetches, and resilient quiz scripts, while UI/UX improvements across homeworks, slides, and quizzes were implemented via CSS injections and content dashboard refinements. A code cleanup removed the mmtUrl coupling to simplify configuration. These changes improve learner throughput, reduce support incidents, and position the product for scalable feature work.
