This section provides an overview of what's new for Learning Standards Sync Utility releases.

Learning Standards Sync Utility v1.1 (Latest Release)

The following improvements and fixes were made in the Learning Standards Sync Utility 1.1 release.

Updates

• The sync CLI command now supports retrieving only the Academic Benchmark standards that have changed during synchronization. This new behavior is enabled by default after an initial sync.
• Server-side proxy updates were made to resolve learning standard sequencing issues between parent and child standards, which were causing download issues.
  • The fix is documented in  EDFI-235 - Getting issue details... STATUS
• A changes CLI command has been added that provides information regarding the availability of Academic Benchmark standards changes.

  • The output from the changes command is optionally available in a JSON format for scripting integration.

    if($LASTEXITCODE -le 0) {
        # Skip validation outputs, then convert the payload.
        $json = $output[2..500] | ConvertFrom-Json
    
        if ($json.changesAvailableInformation.available -eq $true) {
           # Notify someone that changes are present and then run sync?

        }
