Additions 

• CORE-5562: Add VitalSource Bookshelf LTI 1.1 integration. Course authors can add a VitalSource eBook as a course object, letting learners open the correct Bookshelf title without a separate login. Contact support to enable the VitalSource course object if needed. 
• CORE-5571: Add ABPM MOC board, credit types, and reporter to PARS integration. The American Board of Preventive Medicine is now available for Maintenance of Certification reporting, with its practice areas and all four credit types. 
• CORE-5581: Add support for multiple CE Broker subject areas per completion, varying by profession. A course can now be reported to CE Broker against several approved subject areas, with the option to configure a different set of areas for each profession.

Fixes

• CORE-5526: Fix PARS JSON payload rejected for activities with future dates. Activities scheduled in the future were rejected by PARS following an ACCME platform update; they now report successfully.
• CORE-5554: Remove group-membership scaling from session and course saves. Saving a course or session no longer slows down for staff who belong to a large number of series or groups.
• CORE-5555: Render credit description Media images on sessions. Images added to credit type descriptions with the editor’s Media button now display on sessions as they already did on courses.
• CORE-5558: Fix lost profile field group help text lost. Help text on expandable profile field groups now displays, and the CE Broker profile fields have been moved into a standard group.
• CORE-5564: Remove webform question duplication in analytics reports. Evaluation questions no longer appear as multiple identical rows in analytics; each question now reports once with complete response counts. 
• CORE-5582: Restore distribution-list repeat reminders without backdated sends. Repeating reminders to a distribution list work again, and people added to the list after a reminder has already sent no longer receive the earlier messages.

Changes

• CORE-5533: Restrict access to Open API JSON to webservice. The Open API specification is no longer reachable without signing in. 
• CORE-5588: Restrict webform file uploads to approved extensions. Webform file upload questions accept only the file types approved for the site, and the free-text additional extensions field has been removed.
