The minimum required LifterLMS core version in now 3.24.0 Please upgrade LifterLMS to the latest version to continue using LifterLMS Assignments
Grading
Assignment grades will now contribute to the grade of a lesson
If no quiz is present, the lesson grade will equal the grade of the lesson
If both a quiz and assignment are present on a lesson, the lesson grade will be determined by a combination of the quiz and assignment grades
The default weight of quizzes and assignments are 1:1, by defining custom weights for the quiz and assignment it is now possible to weight a quiz or assignment more heavily (or make one not count at all by defining a weight of 0)
The grade of the lesson is calculated by the following formula: ( quiz_grade x quiz_weight ) + ( assignment_grade x assignment_weigth ) / ( quiz_weight + assignment_weigth ). If the total weight is 0, the lesson grade will be null which results in the lesson not counting towards the overall grade of the course.
Existing course and lesson grades will automatically be updated after a database migration. Existing quizzes and assignments will all be set with a default weight of 1 point.

Removed get_option() call to unused option lifterlms_logout_endpoint which ran on WordPress initialization unnecessarily.

When an order is deleted, all order transactions will also be deleted. This does not happen until the order is deleted (transactions will remain while the order is in the trash)
Fixed an issue causing duplicated quizzes to initially show images for question images & image choices (reorder pictures & picture choice) but the image data would not be properly saved so when returning to the builder or viewing a quiz on the frontend the images would be lost
Deprecated Functions & Methods
Deprecated LLMS_Section->get_children_lessons(), use LLMS_Section->get_lessons( 'posts' ) instead
A new student dashboard endpoint, “My Grades”, has been added
The main screen displays a paginated and sortable list of all courses a student is enrolled in and outputs their progress and grade in the courses
Students can drill into individual reporting screens for each course where specific details for each course are available for review
Grading Enhancements
Each lesson can now be assigned an individual “points” value
When a course is graded the points assigned to each lesson will be used to calculate the value of the lesson’s grade within the overall course grade
Lessons can also be assigned a value of “0” to allow a lesson to not count towards the overall grade of the course.
