Release v1.20.4, November 2023

Changes:

• A+ as LTI Tool v1.3: bug fixes
  • Do not send LTI grades to the Platform on non-LTI courses. (#1297)
  • Fixed crash when the LTI launch has expired from cache.
  • Added the course module's name to the module index page.

• Clarified the user interface messages about the visibility of the course module model answer chapter.
  • The previous messages always referred to the module deadline, but there are other alternative rules for the visibility than just the deadline.
• Fixed a bug in the visibility of the course module model answer chapter. (#1247)
  • When the course instance was public (visible without authentication) and the model answer chapter did not have any specific audience set, then unauthenticated users were able to view model answer chapters before they were supposed to be visible to any student.
