- 💥[Improvement] Upgrade Open edX to Koa
- 💥 Setting changes:
- The ``ACTIVATE_HTTPS`` setting was renamed to ``ENABLE_HTTPS``.
- Other ``ACTIVATE_*`` variables were all renamed to ``RUN_*``.
- The ``WEB_PROXY`` setting was removed and ``RUN_CADDY`` was added.
- The ``NGINX_HTTPS_PORT`` setting is deprecated.
- Architectural changes:
- Use Caddy as a web proxy for automated SSL/TLS certificate generation:
- Nginx no longer listens to port 443 for https traffic
- The Caddy configuration file comes with a new ``caddyfile`` patch for much simpler SSL/TLS management.
- Configuration files for web proxies are no longer provided.
- Kubernetes deployment no longer requires setting up a custom Ingress resource or custom manager.
- Gunicorn and Whitenoise are replaced by uwsgi: this increases boostrap performance and makes it no longer necessary to mount media folders in the Nginx container.
- Replace memcached and rabbitmq by redis.
- Additional features:
- Make it possible to disable all plugins at once with ``plugins disable all``.
- Add ``tutor k8s wait`` command to wait for a pod to become ready
- Faster, more reliable static assets with local memory caching
- Deprecation: proxy files for Apache and Nginx are no longer provided out of the box.
- Removed plugin `{{ patch (...) }}` statements:
- "https-create", "k8s-ingress-rules", "k8s-ingress-tls-hosts": these are no longer necessary. Instead, declare your app in the "caddyfile" patch.
- "local-docker-compose-nginx-volumes": this patch was primarily used to serve media assets. The recommended is now to serve assets with uwsgi.
When I tried running `openedx-assets build` on my `tutor dev lms` machine, I got an error:
```

As suggested in [this topic](https://discuss.overhang.io/t/issue-with-paver-update-assets/641) I had to run `npm install` to get the packages it tries to copy from. That makes sense, so I think it should be part of the instructions here.
As discussed in
https://discuss.overhang.io/t/lms-worker-timeout-issue/1057/8, the
timeout of the gunicorn worker is a bit low, causing the worker to
crashloop on slower systems. By increasing the timeout to 120 seconds,
the worker should have time to come up before it gets restarted.
- 💥[Improvement] Remove `dev/local pullimages`. Instead, run `dev/local
dc pull`.
- 💥[Improvement] Add `dev dc` and `local dc` commands as thin wrappers
of the `docker-compose` CLI.
- 💥[Improvement] Remove the undocumented `local run_hook` command.
Instead, run `local init --limit=...`.
- 💥[Improvement] Remove `tutor android pullimage` command. Instead, run
`tutor images pull android`.
- [Bugfix] Fix `config save` on Windows.
- [Bugfix] Fix platform checking in user ID function
- [Bugfix] Fix dependency error during `pip install tutor` due to urllib3 incompatibility
- [Bugfix] Fix user ID checking under Windows.
- [Bugfix] Fix template rendering for Windows users.
- [Improvement] Switch to `bcrypt` for htpasswd password generation, for better portability on Windows.
- [Improvement] In the openedx production docker image, add some jitter to the gunicorn worker restart process to prevent all workers from restarting at the same time.
requests depends on urllib3<1.26.0, while urllib3==1.26.0 was just
released. We need to introduce a constraint on urllib3 to avoid the
following error when running `pip install -e`:
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (urllib3 1.26.0
(./venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages),
Requirement.parse('urllib3!=1.25.0,!=1.25.1,<1.26,>=1.21.1'),
{'requests'})
We will be able to remove this constraint once requests becomes
compatible with urllib3==1.26.0. To test this change just run `pip
install -e tutor` and then run a dummy command, such as `tutor local
stop`.
- [Improvement] Mount config and setting files in read-only mode
- 💥[Improvement] Enable unit completion tracking by default.
- [Bugfix] Run `apt update` before `apt install` when installing deps in
the openedx Dockerfile
- [Improvement] Make all commands considerably faster
- [Improvement] Make it easier to override Mongodb connection parameters
- [Bugfix] Add support for .woff and .woff2 font files in themes (thanks @mrtndwrd!)
Tutor was making many calls to iter_installed (~100 on my machine with a
dozen installed plugins). Turns out it's useless to cache Plugin and
Renderer instances, as the config keeps changing all the time. Instead,
we cache the list of installed plugins, which does not change in the
course of a single run.
On my machine this speeds up `tutor config save` by 5x, going from 7.5s
to 1.3s.
