- Improved Question bank organised by a nestable subject tree and free-form tags, with rich text stems, explanations and essay rubrics.
- Improved Seven question types in the free version: multiple choice with one answer or several, true/false, short answer, essay, fill in the blanks, and picture choice.
- Improved Images uploaded straight from the question editor, validated by decoding the file rather than trusting its name.
- Improved Exams built from sections that are either a fixed list of questions or a pool with rules, with questions and options shuffled independently.
- Improved A runner with server-side timing, a paper frozen at the moment the attempt starts, autosave, pause and resume, and a scheduled sweep that closes abandoned attempts.
- Improved The runner degrades to an ordinary form post, so it works with JavaScript switched off.
- Improved Automatic marking on submission with partial credit, numeric tolerance, regular expression matching and optional negative marking. Essays and file uploads queue for a person with the rubric beside them.
- Improved Result release policies: immediately, when the exam closes, on a date, or by hand.
- Improved Four access modes - open, signed in by role, access code, and named guest - with server-enforced attempt caps and cooldowns.
- Improved Learner portal at /my-exams/, plus five blocks and ten shortcodes for the catalogue, a single exam, search, results and certificates.
- Improved Import from CSV, Aiken, GIFT, Moodle XML and QTI; export to CSV, Moodle XML and QTI.
- Improved Five seeded roles across twelve permissions, with "edit own" scoping enforced for both questions and exams.
- Improved Five seeded email templates sent from a queue drained on a schedule, composed in the language of the person receiving them. Pro adds a sixth for scheduled reports.
- Improved GDPR exporters and erasers, so a personal data request made through WordPress's own tools covers exam data too.
- Improved Arabic, French, German and Spanish bundled, with right-to-left layouts across the admin and the front end.
- Improved An App Manager that turns individual capabilities off, blocking them at the endpoint rather than hiding them from the menu.
- Improved Pro adds seven more question types, certificates with a drag-and-drop designer and public QR verification, live invigilation, analytics with item analysis, a gradebook, cohorts, prerequisites, custom fields, version history, practice mode, multilingual content, LaTeX maths rendering, integrity signals, opt-in leaderboards, a demo dataset, AI question drafting with your own API key, LMS bridges for Tutor LMS, LearnDash and LifterLMS, LTI 1.3, signed webhooks and scoped API tokens.
- Improved Result emails were only sent while an administrator had the notifications screen open. The queue is now drained on a schedule, as intended.
- Improved On a site using Polylang with language directories, an exam had no address in any language but the default. All six front-end routes now answer under a language prefix, in the free version as well as Pro.
- Improved On a Pro site running WooCommerce, every front-end page could render blank because the API-token listener asked WordPress for its own REST address during plugin load.
- Improved Switching Images off in the App Manager also disabled the picture question types, so their papers would have scored zero without warning. It now only removes the upload button.
