### 2018-01-12

  * It will be deprecated soon.



### 2016-01-18



* Fixed the problem with confirm window popping out while clicking re-choose buttons.

* Added border spacing.



### 2016-01-16



* Compressed JSON structure.

  * `day` will now be index instead of string.

  * Removed `name` because it's redundant.

  * Added `id`.

* Added tutorial re-choose feature (appeared as icons).

* Added pinned classes icon effect.

* Added confirm window when deleting courses.

* Added `revisionNum`.

  * If a new value is found, then clear tutorials.

  * **This value is only changed when changing data structure!**

* Added mouseover effects when you hover a choosable tutorial.

  * The purpose of this is to ease the pain of finding same tutorials with different time.

* Changed `delete` button next to course name to icons.

* Changed the behaviour of tutorial displaying.

  * It will now automatically add newly updated classes to the cookie/localStorage instead of ignoring its existence.

  * After choosing a tutorial, the element will be deleted instead of set to hidden.

  * The `choose` button will now longer appear if there's a chosen tutorial.

  * Because of the order changing after re-choose tuts, lesson style will now determined by the existence of lesson-style-x, instead of hash.

* Changed the way of deciding how different groups belong to one tutorial.

  * The normal format of a class name is: `{COURSE_NAME}{GROUP_TYPE}{GROUP_NUMBER}/ {NUMBER}`, {NUMBER} will be used.

* Changed the structure of Course.structure (`{ class: chosen tutorial id, ... }`).

* Changed weekdays header to full.

* Removed leading zeros in `item.info` and ending `/`s (because the official data sometimes mistakenly gives different numbers such as `01` and `1`).

* Removed usage of `data-fgroup`, `data-id` will now be used.

* Fixed a bug where when creating an empty timeslot, it will clone the lesson style class as well.



### 2016-01-11



* Style changes to save vertical real estate.

* Made lesson style fit to whole block.

* Fixed the issue where the color remains when a class is removed.

* Removed animations.



### 2016-01-06



* Fixed an issue with colspan.

* Cleared redundant code.



### 2015-12-21



* Fixed course deletion animation (slideDown() -> slideUp()).

* Fixed pressing enter will not add a course issue under some browsers (event.which is not supported).



### 2015-12-19



* Rewrote the code related to :30 courses support.

  * Instead of remove unused cells, it will now just hide them, this makes searching much easier.

  * It's now fully functional and the code is much cleaner than the previous version.

  * **There should be no broken table if used proper, but if it occurs, please submit an issue with a screeshot and the course addition/deletion order.**

* 'class' label is now treated as 'non-compulsory' category and is selectable between different ones.

* Added one more color to make sure six courses all get a different widget color.

* Replaced the text 'Updated for 2016.' with default timetable update time.

* Changed the table to show borders since it's hard to see which timeslot section the class belongs to without them

  * If we set the lesson block to inherit the cell height (cell height 1px and lesson block height 100%), it'll cause some issues when adding/deleting classes, even not, it shows too much space and looks weird).



### 2015-12-15



* Added maximum 6 courses adding limitation.

  * Code is messy, will need to rewrite it someday.

  * If the table displays in an abnormal way, submit an issue with a screeshot and the course addition/deletion order.

* Added :30 courses supports.

* Changed the structure for JSON (**Note that the old JSON will no longer work!**).

  * Removed key 'hour', added key 'start', altered key from 'duration' to 'dur'.

  * Combined all identical data classes.

  * Size reduced by 50%.



### 2015-12-09



* Deprecated save & flush button, these operations will now be processed automatically. 

* Reconstructed functions & variables into OOP style.

  * Not sure why 'this' keyword sometimes not working so using the direct name (e.g. Course.display()) instead for now.

* Made the load JSON button only visible when the online source is not accessible. 

* Made the auto-complete more smarter. 

  * It'll now order by matching relevance.

  * The name will be more readable.

  * Course addition will be now ignore everything after the dash, instead of underscore.

* Changed the structure for JSON (**Note that the old JSON will no longer work!**).

  * The structure will now be: [[fullName], [info], [location], [course]].

  * Removed key 'fullName', added key 'nid', 'iid' and 'lid' in course object.

  * This provides an index searching for fullName, location and info, which reduces the size of the data by about 50%.

  * The structure will change again in the upcoming days to merge same classes together and suit :30 classes. The file size will be significantly reduced.



### 2015-12-08



* Added delete, clear, save and flush feature (use localStorage / cookie depends on the availability).

* Fixed an issue with tutorial selection (explained in master upstream branch issue #22).

* Fixed the issue with not being able to choose between one hour tutorials.

* Fixed the issue with ics export will include all the tutorials regardless of choosing or not.

* Categorized files into folders (js, css and data, all json files will be saved in data).

* Added auto-complete feature.

  * For matching, if the user is using his/her/theirs own data without fullName field, then it'll use name instead.

* Added a spider written in jQuery.

  * Usage: Go to the pre-course-selection page, execute the code in a console or inline javascript: link.

  * Will retrieve validation data automatically, no need to input by yourself.

  * Appends an extra field 'fullName' to the data, which denotes the human readable name of the course (for use of auto-complete).

  * When executing, it'll display a mini progress box in the middle of the page.

  * This will fix the issue #22 without using a new identifier.



### 2015-12-06



* The scraper is planned for deletion.

* Instead, use the converter on the direct data source  (hopefully this will be updated by ANU for 2016)



### 2015-12-05



* 2016 draft timetable available.

* Added load json feature, supports local/offline (i.e. protocol file://, not local server) use.

* Fixed the /timetable.json relative path issue (was directing to the root directory).

* Changed the ics import button location and color.



### Known issues



* After deleting a course located at a index other than the last index, if the current index column is all empty, it won't delete this unused index column, which will cause a redundant gap column, but it'll be re-indexed after refreshing.

* When there is only one class for a certain group left, the choose button shouldn't be visible.
