v0.3.0

v0.3.0

Release for our new study on usable programming paradigms.

• Created salt_ide crate for identifying code written functionally vs imperatively
• Removed demographics quiz (to be replaced with more flexible Qualtrics version)
• REVIS diagrams now more easily toggle-able

Upcoming:

• Qualtrics quiz integration

v0.2.8

Two updates this iteration:

1. Migration to AWS

• Azure with VS Code's default telemetry module weren't up to spec for what we needed in payload size.
• Switching to AWS allows us to utilize HTTP responses to verify that data was received by DynamoDB.
• Current participants' data will be automatically backed up upon updating the extension!

2. "All or public" option

• Added participant choice to allow recording data on all workspaces or only those cloned from public Github repositories.
• Prompt provided during study onboarding to choose.
• Changeable in extension settings at any time!

v0.2.7

This release adds a few new datapoints to the study, mainly:

• Indicators of compiler hints pertaining to borrowing/dereference errors
• The length of the current file and count of files in workspace, as a scale for codebase complexity

We also patched a few of our own errors! Such as:

• SALT now logs compiler errors globally, instead of only the workspace in which the study was initialized
• Telemetry is sent on interval every 25 logs, regardless if the 25th log was an error or a successful compile
