1. Important changes

We recently informed all onCourse users via an update on the onCourse dashboard that we would be periodically updating scripts in the system with newer versions of these scripts. This work is now completed in version 37, so you’ll notice in your system now several 'new' scripts. If you had the default scripts turned off in your system, then the old ones have been simply updated with the new ones, and there’s nothing for you to do. if you had any default scripts turned on and they hadn’t had their name changed from their default name, these will now appear with the word 'old' in the title. This denotes that you are still using an old script.

The newer scripts are much more user-friendly in that they allow all users the ability to edit the variables within the script. These variables change per script, but typically they are used to set the message templates referenced by the script. This, as well as re-factoring the script code to make them run more efficiently, was the main goal of these script changes.

We’ve also implemented some nice new usability features like the drag and drop UI for uploading new documents to onCourse.
