27.1.0 Release Notes

Description

We are pleased to announce the 27.1.0 minor release! With this release we are adding "User Retraining Interval" and "Immediate Retraining Required?" fields to SCORM training items. We are also adding a Resource Center to the bottom right of the application for users to easily access Product Updates, Knowledge Base, contact Support, and provide Feedback. We are also adding interactions and links to the right hand side of the login page to access the HelpDesk and to get more information about community events. There are a few other minor improvements and bug fixes so please review the traceability matrix for the full list.

Schedule

Date: 29-FEB-2024

Impact

All users are impacted by the changes to the login page, and the addition of the Resource Center. Users who are using SCORM training are impacted by the new fields available there. There are less impactful changes and bug fixes to the Documents, Issues, Change Controls, Tasks, and Training Tests modules.

Version Details

ZenQMS comprises a microservice architecture that breaks up large functions into smaller services. This reduces risk in the development and release process. As such this flagship release version is actually composed of the releases of the individual services components. It is entirely possible for a component service to not change versions in a release cycle even if other components do. Here is the summary for this release.

ZenQMS Release 27.1.0 contains the following “FixVersions”. We use FixVersion as an internal versioning scheme for our modules/services and maintain them in Jira.

AUTH 5.9, CCM 5.4, DM 2.1, IM 6.5, PDF 7.2, TRAIN 2.4, ZenSign 0.2, ZENQ 25.7
