On Friday, 28 October 2011, FET-5.15.0 was released.
A big "Thank you!" to all the users who made the suggestions, to the testers and to the translators.
From the ChangeLog:
- Added two new constraints:
1) Activities occupy max time slots from selection. This is useful in more cases, for instance to force some teachers to have activities in certain time slots. (For example, if in a 5 days week with 6 hours per day, teacher T has 20 hours of activities and needs to have activities in the first 3 hours of Monday: add a constraint with all the teacher's activities, all time slots minus these 3 (so 5*6-3=27 slots selected in the constraint), and specify the maximum number of selected time slots occupied by the selected activities to be 17.) Suggested by Zsolt Udvari, Christian Kemmer, Davide G. M. Salvetti, lalloso, Silver, and maybe other users.
2) Activities max simultaneous in selected time slots. User chooses a set of activities, a set of time slots, and specifies that in each time slot there should be an upper limit on the activities from the chosen set. Useful for example if you want each slot to have say at least 3 free teachers, for substitution or supervision.
- Updated to Qt 4.7.4.
- Removed dependence of Qt3Support classes. Many dialogs were changed. This is to improve FET and to prepare it for the future Qt 5.
- The program is now storing the geometry of most dialogs (suggested by more users. Zsolt Udvari suggested to store also the Activity planning dialog settings).
- The activity tags, students, teachers, subjects, rooms, buildings, activities, subactivities, all time constraints and all space constraints dialogs contain a draggable splitter, for better viewing (suggested by daviodan).
- Taking care of when a file was modified. When it was not modified, the user can quit FET directly (suggested by Horatiu Halmajan and maybe other users).
- Recently used files list (suggested by daviodan, Silver and maybe other users).
- Activities rooms statistics - it shows the list of activities which will certainly or possibly be scheduled in an unspecified room (suggested by Volker Dirr, who also did a part of the coding, Corfiot, Fabio Piedimonte).
- Removed the upper limit on the number of time and space constraints.
- When modifying the days or hours, the affected constraints will be modified or removed, after confirmation from the user.
- Language change is activated without restarting.
- Many other interface improvements.
- Added a new sample file, by Silver.
- Improved the Morocco sample file and the Morocco instructions (by Liviu Lalescu and Chafik Graiguer).
