MMS 4.2 – Teacher tested – IT Director approved!
We’re excited to announce the general availability for MMS version 4.2. This release includes a new User Interface framework, accessibility (section 508) improvements, performance enhancements, and bug fixes that will be the basis for upcoming releases.
Understanding the timing of this release in your school calendar, there are 2 options for upgrade path:
- Release 4.1.3 – For customers not wishing to introduce the new UI to teachers during the course of a term, 4.1.3 includes bug fixes, performance improvements, and documented enhancements. You can preview 4.1.3 here.
- Release 4.2 – 4.2 includes our revised screen design. Navigation and workflows have not been affected (beyond documented improvements.) This release has been tested and approved by teachers and tech directors. There is no training required. If not before winter break, we encourage updating to 4.2 before the end of winter break. You can preview 4.2 here.
Self-hosted customers: Either upgrade also requires the upgrade of MMS GE to version 14.2.02. Migrating to MMS OnLine eliminates your need to manage this process, and carries significant other benefits as well. You can download your updates here.
