Ally 1.14.1 | Release to production 11 April, 2018

Updated Features

In this Ally 1.14.1 release, we focused our development and design on academic effectiveness. You’ll see below that we’ve also aligned our feature list in to groups based on value and benefit to you and your users.

Universal design

  • Library reference validation

Library reference validation

When going through the Instructor Feedback for a scanned or untagged PDF, Ally allows the instructor to provide library reference metadata about the PDF. Several validation rules have now been added to prevent incorrect use of this form.

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Implemented several improvements to how the language of a document is detected.
  • Fixed a bug that caused certain UTF-8 characters to be read as “question mark” in the audio alternative format.
  • Fixed a bug where HTML characters were included in several tooltips within the institutional report.
