Feb 1, 2026February 2026 – sakaiproject/sakai: Delivered a critical bug fix to Gradebook integration for group-submitted Samigo assessments. Resolved the issue where grades were not consistently sent to Gradebook when timers submitted assessments on behalf of groups. Refactored GradebookServiceHelper and related logic to support group-based grade updates, adjusted method signatures, and ensured proper Gradebook integration with correct site ID handling and score formatting. This unlocks reliable end-to-end grading for group submissions and improves data accuracy and auditability.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 (2025-07) delivered targeted features and critical fixes across the Sakai repository to improve usability, governance, and reliability. Key features modernized UI icons in Discussions/Messages, exposed a default for single-instance content hosting, and tightened UI behavior for push notifications. Major fixes addressed folder creation errors, gradebook item retrieval under grouped contexts, grouped CSS styling, and lessons sub-page navigation. Additionally, access to export statistics was restricted to users with grading permissions, and TA-focused views were constrained to TA associations to improve data integrity and relevance. Collectively, these changes reduce user friction, enhance security and governance, and set the stage for scalable content hosting and reporting.
