Full Changelog: v3.1...v3.2

Version 3.1

In this latest release of MGU Result Scrapper, we've made significant improvements and added new features to enhance your experience:

1. Enhanced Handling of "Result Not Available" Situation

We've implemented robust measures ( timeout & try-catch ) to handle the "Result Not Available !!" scenario while fetching data. This ensures a more seamless and error-resistant data retrieval process.

2. Fixed the "No Data" Situation during Data Processing

We've resolved issues related to the "No data" situation that occasionally occurred while processing dumped data. Now, it checks for the existence of the dumped files in the folder with prn as the folder name before attempting to process it.

3. Efficient Data Retrieval

We've streamlined the process by introducing a loop that uses start and end PRNs exclusively. This means you can now perform data extraction without relying on the data.json file, simplifying your workflow. If a PRN is missing, the timeout & try-catch will handle them on the go.

4. Introducing Chalk for Colored Terminal Logs

We've integrated the Chalk library to provide colorful and informative terminal logs. This feature not only makes your interactions with the tool visually appealing but also improves log readability.

5. New OBE Data Sheet in NAAC Format (A3)

As a valuable addition, we've included a new output sheet following the NAAC standards, which we call it; the OBE Data Sheet. This will help you generate new large-format reports more efficiently and in compliance with the latest requirements.

We hope you find these updates beneficial and that they enhance your experience with MGU Result Scrapper. Your feedback and contributions are always welcome. Thank you for using our tool!

Version 3.0

We are excited to announce the latest release of MGU Result Scrapper version 3.0! This release brings significant enhancements to the application, with a strong focus on catering to the needs of teachers and educators. Building upon the foundation laid in previous versions, we have expanded the capabilities of the MGU Result Scrapper to provide comprehensive result analysis tools and report generation features.

1. Web Scraping and Mark Collection

In this release, we have extended the MGU Result Scrapper's capabilities to scrape the web and collect student marks as values themselves, apart from just mere screenshots. This feature simplifies the process of gathering individual student performance data, making it a valuable tool for teachers and educators who need to analyze and manage student results efficiently.

2. Consolidated Marklists

With version 3.0, the MGU Result Scrapper now offers the ability to generate consolidated marklists. These marklists provide a concise overview of student performance, making it easy for teachers to identify trends and assess class performance at a glance. Marklists are available in both XLSX and PDF formats for your convenience.

3. Result Analysis Graphs

This release introduces result analysis graphs to further aid teachers in gaining insights into student performance. These visual representations allow for a deeper understanding of data trends, enabling educators to make informed decisions and provide targeted support to students. Result analysis graphs are available in both XLSX and PDF formats. Both the Consolidated Marrklist and Result Analysis Shaeets are designed to satisfy the college IQAC standards.
