February marked the culmination of our Python Sandbox project, introducing the capability to debug individual test cases from the feedback table in the Sandbox. With this final part completed, we bid farewell to the old Python Tutor, ushering in a new era of streamlined coding and debugging on Dodona.
As we move forward, our next big endeavor is a thorough spring cleaning. Our goal is to enhance the Dodona user experience by addressing a collection of smaller issues. This past week saw the first wave of improvements, including the integration of informative cards within the UI to guide users towards optimal Dodona usage.

2023.12
November was a busy month at Dodona. Here's a peek at what's new!
Feedback Table Makeover
We've revamped the feedback table layout for a clearer, more user-friendly experience. Tests are now neatly grouped, and the debug button for Python exercises stands out, ensuring a smoother debugging process.
Streamlined Exercise Management
In our quest to declutter, we've refined how Dodona handles deleted exercises. Previously, removed exercises lingered in the database, marked as "removed." Now, if an exercise is marked as deleted for 30 days and isn't part of a course, it's automatically cleared from Dodona, keeping things tidy.
Dodona in Academia
We're happy to announce the publication of a scientific manuscript about Dodona in SoftwareX. To celebrate this milestone, we've added a new publications page to highlight our academic contributions. Read the article here.

2023.11
October has been a busy month at Dodona, with two major changes aimed at refining your experience.
Draft Exercises
Introducing "Draft Exercises"! Now, whenever you create a new exercise, it will be tagged as a "draft" by default. The benefit? These draft exercises are only visible to you, allowing you to work on them without cluttering everyone's exercise listing. Plus, for easy access, we've added a dedicated "Draft Exercises" section on the homepage.
Python Tutor Revamp
Our Python Tutor has undergone a significant transformation. Not only is it now compatible with Python exercises created through our new TESTed judge, but it also runs faster than ever before. Thanks to Papyros technology, we've shifted Python Tutor's backend code to run locally in your browser, ensuring smooth performance during high-traffic times like exams. And guess what? This is just Phase One. Stay tuned for more updates!
With the new Python Tutor in place, we strongly recommend transitioning to TESTed for any new Python exercises. While the old Python judge will continue to be supported, our focus will be on the more robust and versatile TESTed platform.
Smaller changes
We've taken "Anonymous Mode" up a notch. Apart from anonymizing student names, it now also blurs out certain exercise names to prevent unintentional leakage during live demos. Hover over the blurred names to reveal them.
We've swapped the Ace Editor for CodeMirror on the exercise page, all while retaining the same user-friendly editing experience you know and love.
