Our rolling release. This release contains in-development new features released since the most recent Long Term Support.

Features
Assess API v2.130.0, Questions API v2.197.0- Added the new
defer_render
initialization option in the assessment player, which causes the previous and next Items to be rendered when you navigate to an Item. - Fixed a bug causing simple Feature and math content to disappear when the
render
public method was called. - Fixed a bug on the calculator and line reader Features, where the click and move functionality would cause unwanted interaction with elements lying underneath.
