Version 13.3.0 is a minor release delivering various performance improvements to amendment handling and a range of bug fixes.
It was released on [x March 3 April 2023].
Amendment performance
Version 13.3 contains improvements to the following aspects of amendment handling:
Publishing amendments - publishing a large number of amendments should now be significantly faster.
Submitting amendments - submitting amendments from a draft list of amendments (using the “Submit list” option) performs significantly faster and can handle large numbers of amendments (e.g. up to 400 amendments) without difficulty.
Amendment manager tab - The time taken to generate the Amendment Manager tab when there are a lot of amendments should be significantly reduced and should be much less affected by the size of the Bill to which the amendments relate.
Amendment Workspace and Official Lists tab - performance improvements have been made here too to reduce the time taken to generate the page. Caching has also been introduced which means that switching between the tabs (including amendment manager) will be significantly quicker once they have loaded once.
Backup configuration change
Version 13.3 will also see a change in the configuration of Lawmaker’s incremental backup system. Data backup will now be triggered every two minutes (rather than immediately on every update to the content servers). This will reduce load on the system and may improve performance.
