Dodona 2023.12 changelog

[github-actions[bot]]

November was a busy month at Dodona. Here's a peek at what's new!

Feedback Table Makeover

We've revamped the feedback table layout for a clearer, more user-friendly experience. Tests are now neatly grouped, and the debug button for Python exercises stands out, ensuring a smoother debugging process.

Streamlined Exercise Management

In our quest to declutter, we've refined how Dodona handles deleted exercises. Previously, removed exercises lingered in the database, marked as "removed." Now, if an exercise is marked as deleted for 30 days and isn't part of a course, it's automatically cleared from Dodona, keeping things tidy.

Dodona in Academia

We're happy to announce the publication of a scientific manuscript about Dodona in SoftwareX. To celebrate this milestone, we've added a new publications page to highlight our academic contributions. Read the article here.
