  • Implemented full support for the Imperial University:

After the transition of the Imperial University records over to the new site at the end of June, our team has completed the
process of making needed adjustments to the courses. Between both manual and automated editing, we have corrected several
thousand “content glitches” in the course notes and exams, including problems with encoding and other junk characters, missing
images, problematic formatting, incorrect Course Administrative Data, etc. The purpose was to address the most significant
problems impacting the ability to view notes and take exams. (This was not a deep-dive into content, which will be gradually
updated as necessary by the TO.)

This release also implemented support for automated scoring. Members taking the TIE Corps Core (TCCORE) course will now receive
immediate results for their exam. The results screen will provide members with their score, as well as a list of the questions
they did not correctly answer. Note that by design they will not be provided the correct answer; the intent is that they re-review
the relevant course notes to identify and understand the correct answer for themselves.

Other courses may support automated scoring in the future.

Please report any technical problems encountered while viewing notes or taking exams on the IO issues tracker,
located at https://github.com/emperorshammer/issues-incoming-queue. You may also report concerns regarding content
at this location as well. Content-related issues will be handed over to the new TO once the position has been filled.
Kindly keep technical and content-related reports segregated into individual issues to facilitate these lanes of responsibility.

Thanks to FA Pickled Yoda and CM Sylas Pitt for their assistance reviewing and fixing materials.

    let me know if you find anything incorrect about page output, in particular places where it might spit out HTML code instead of normal
    formatted text. We've been testing everything on a development server, but with the amount of changes made it's inevitable some stuff
    might have slipped through. #310 (HA Turtle Jerrar)
