Release Notes - Talent Assessment System v1.5.25-dev

Release Date: January 26, 2025
Version: v1.5.25-dev
Release Type: Development Release - Minor Fixes & S3 Configuration

🎯 Release Overview

This development release focuses on resolving minor issues and standardizing S3 configuration across all environments. The release includes critical fixes for file uploads, assessment form submissions, and URL generation, ensuring consistent behavior across development, staging, and production environments.

🚀 Key Features & Improvements

🔧 S3 Configuration Standardization

Unified File Upload System

  • Consistent S3 Usage: All environments now use S3 for file uploads (no more local storage fallback)
  • CloudFront Integration: Proper CDN URL generation for all uploaded files
  • Environment Parity: Development, staging, and production all use the same upload mechanism
  • Performance: Improved file delivery through CloudFront CDN

Technical Implementation

  • Removed Conditional Logic: Eliminated S3/local storage conditional checks
  • Forced S3 Uploads: All file uploads now go directly to S3 buckets
  • CloudFront URL Conversion: Automatic conversion of S3 URLs to CloudFront URLs
  • Environment-Specific Buckets: Each environment uses its appropriate S3 bucket

🐛 Bug Fixes
