  • 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.

  • 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.

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. <issue #26>
• 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. <issue #27>
• Made the auto-complete more smarter. <issue #29, #31>
  • 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 http://udsttweb99.anu.edu.au/Timetable2015/Timetable.csv (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.
