• Distinction between unanswered questions and unassessed questions: "Unanswered questions": any type of question that I do not answer, are still incorrect answers. "Unassessed questions": these are currently only "open" answers.
• When creating the quiz in HTML, it is proposed to create it in the same path as the .XQZ question file, and it is no longer an absolute reference folder.
• Simplification of the publication window of a new web application for saving results in Google Drive.

• Added random order answers for print quiz print (or PDF).
• Export quiz to database without name or title: you are explicitly asked to insert it before exporting.
• Export new quiz: check if "name" quiz is not already used (as it must be unique on the database).
• The number of lines and the maximum number of characters of the open response can be parameterized.
• On the results page: you can change the pair of icons for right / wrong answers (currently: yellow smiley and red ban).
• When you save the database questions, the quiz properties are also saved (for future use).
• Review of the result: the teacher can assign a grade to the questions with open answers (one by one) and at the end, when there are no more questions to be evaluated, do the "review" of the result: a new grade is proposed to the quiz that takes manual assessment into account.
