Full Changelog

v1.1.3 • Multiple Employment Statuses & Major Architecture Refactor

What's Changed

• Support Multiple Employer Records and Refactor Employment Data Processing by @JasonWarrenUK in #19

Full Changelog: v1.1.2...v1.1.3

v1.1.2

What's Changed?

• Fix: Apprentice Small Employer Field Incorrectly Triggering Bootcamp Rules by @JasonWarrenUK in #18

The Bug: Version 1.1.1 accidentally gave apprentices a bootcamp-only employment status code, triggering R134 rule violations for 23 learners. Turns out the government's validation service is quite particular about not calling apprentices bootcamp students.

The Fix: Removed the rogue OET=2 code from the apprentice "Small employer #2" field, whilst keeping it correctly in place for bootcamp learners with "Small employer #1".

Check v1.1.1...v1.1.2 if you want to see a 4-line deletion that saved 23 learners from XML purgatory.
