Version 1.97 of the Moodle Gapfill question type Feb 2018

Letter hints new feature, only works when Interactive with multiple tries behaviour is used. An new checkbox in the question creation form toggles letterhints mode. This takes effect when an interactive question behaviour is selected. There is a global checkbox setting for letterhints. If this is on, when a new question is created hints will be inserted into the first and second boxes under multiple tries block. If it is toggled on with an existing question the hints will have to be added by hand in the multiple tries section. Then when a student gives an incorrect response they will be given incrementing letters from the correct answer when they press try again. Thanks to Elton LaClare for the idea for this and to his employer Sojo University Japan http://www.sojo-u.ac.jp/en for funding.

Bug fix that broke the display of the quiz menu when optionsaftertext was selected but gapfill mode was selected. Thanks to Lizardo Flores for reporting this.

Version 1.96 of the Moodle Gapfill question type Oct 2017

Per gap feedback. This is a significant new feature and allows the creation of feedback that is displayed dependent on if the student gave a correct or incorrect response on a per-gap basis The feedback is entered by clicking a new button Gap settings which is shown under the question text field. This toggles the screen to a grey colour and makes the text uneditable. Clicking a "gap" pops up a dialog with fields for correct or incorrect response. Most HTML is stripped when the feedback is saved. Bold, Italic, Underscore and hyperlinks are retained. The feedback area does not support images. It has been tested with the contents of a 10K file (though that would not be a sensible use of the feature). Substantial improvements to amount of phpdoc comments, which is only of benefit to developers

Version 1.95 of the Moodle Gapfill question type June 2017

New setting optionsaftertext can be to show the draggable options after the text. Thanks to Elton LaClare for the inspiration to do this.

Fixed a bug where if there were multiple questions on a single page the draggables would become disabled after the first submit. Added behat featurefile add_quiz to test in quiz rather than just in preview mode. Added dragging of selections (previously it was only type in). Configured up .travis.yml so testing is run every time there is a git commit. Made code tweaks to comply with results (e.g. csslint)

Version 1.94 of the Moodle Gapfill question type February 2017

This is a minor release with a css fix and improvements to the mobile app code. Thanks to Chris Kenniburg for the CSS fix to remove the comma before focus. Added fix to renderer.php so select element list shows down arrows on android mobile.

In the mobile app answer option selection is more obvious. For dragdrop questions there is now a prompt that says "Tap to select then tap to drop" as with the core question types. Thanks to Elton LaClare for the mobile app feedback.
