v6.2.0
Version 6.1.0
v6.0.0 - Auto data store
New features
This release adds a major new feature to automatically store all data input by users and make it available to all views. You no longer need to use routes.js to store data or display it. Usage details here.
The release also adds two new template pages - one for content, and one for questions.
Breaking changes
This version has two breaking changes:
- Changing the markup for radios and checkboxes
- Storing data automatically in session
1. Changing the markup used for radios and checkboxes
The markup used by radios and checkboxes has been updated to support the new 'chunky' style.
See the Elements 3.0.0 release for what changed. You can see examples of the new markup in Elements.
2. Storing data automatically in session
The kit now stores data to req.session.data. In the unlikely case that you're already storing something as req.session.data, you'll need to change to something else.
Updating
In addition to following the instructions to update the kit, you will need to add the new useAutoStoreData lines to your app/config.js - you can copy the new lines here.
You'll need to update the markup used in radios and checkboxes to the new format.
Clearing data
If you do research with real user data, it’s important that you clear any data stored by the prototype.
Always run usability sessions in incognito windows. At the end of the session, close all incognito windows.
To manually clear data, click on the clear data link at the bottom of every page of the prototype.

Travis will now run tests against each pull request to ensure that the app runs (by checking the server and build tasks).
