This file includes a history of past releases. Changes that were not yet added to a release are in the changelog.d/ folder.

v17.0.0 (2023-12-09)

  • 💥[Feature] Upgrade to Quince. (by @regisb)
  • 💥[Feature] Replace ".local.overhang.io" hostnames by ".local.edly.io". (by @regisb)
  • 💥[Feature] Enable the Indigo theme by default, if no other theme is set. (by @regisb)
  • 💥[Deprecation] Tutor no longer supports the legacy Docker builder, which was previously available by setting DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 in the host environment. Going forward, Tutor will always use BuildKit (a.k.a. docker buildx in Docker v19-v22, or just docker build in Docker v23). This transition will improve build performance and should be seamless for Tutor users who are running a supported Docker version (by @kdmccormick).
  • 💥[Deprecation] The template variable is_buildkit_enabled, which now always returns True, is deprecated. Plugin authors should assume BuildKit is enabled and remove the variable from their templates (by @kdmccormick).
  • 💥[Deprecation] Adding Python packages to edx-platform via private.txt is no longer supported. Instead, users should bind-mount their requirement directories with tutor mounts add .... (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Updated how the Tutor setting JWT_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY is rendered into the LMS Django setting JWT_AUTH['JWT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_JWK'] as required by a recent breaking upstream change. The new representation of the JWT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_JWK simply adds the dq, dp, and qi parameters. Without this fix, LMS would encounter an InvalidKeyError on all logins. (by @kdmccormick)
  • [Improvement] You don't have to run tutor config save every time you enable or disable a plugin anymore. (by @CodeWithEmad)

v16.1.8 (2023-12-10)

  • [Feature] Make it easy to work on 3rd-party edx-platform Python packages with tutor mounts add /path/to/my/package. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] When configured with RUN_MYSQL: true, run mysqld with binlog expiry set to 3 days (rather than the default of 30).
  • [Improvement] Fix ulimits error for elasticsearch in Docker rootless mode (by @OmarIthawi)
  • [Improvement] Do not hardcode OPENEDX_COMMON_VERSION = master in the nightly branch. This removes git conflicts whenever we bump the common version in the master branch. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] The iter_mounts template function can now take multiple image names as argument. This should concern only very advanced users. (by @regisb)

v16.1.7 (2023-11-17)

  • [Feature] Upgrade to open-release/palm.4. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to this release for as long as possible before upgrading to Quince. Otherwise, many users will be logged out after the Quince upgrade and will have to log in again -- see the Quince release notes. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Fix installation of tutor due to missing dev.txt file in Python package. (by @regisb)

v16.1.6 (2023-11-16)

  • [Feature] Upgrade to open-release/palm.4. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] Install tutor development tools with pip install tutor[dev]. (by @CodeWithEmad)

v16.1.5 (2023-10-30)

  • [Bugfix] Fix ORA2 file uploads in CMS. As the cache settings are shared between CMS and LMS, the settings are moved from common_lms.py to common_all.py. (by @FatemeKhodayari)

v16.1.4 (2023-10-13)

  • [Improvement] No more large dev images. This was fixed by adding --no-log-init option to useradd command and reducing space usage of /var/log/faillog. (by @CodeWithEmad)
  • [Improvement] Upgrade the Open edX default version to open-release/palm.3. (by @regisb)

v16.1.3 (2023-10-10)

  • [Improvement] Adds connect=False to the LMS and CMS' MongoDB connection to prevent ServerSelectionError after a cluster failover. (by @open-craft)
  • [Bugfix] Override CMS_BASE setting in Studio for the development environment. Without this, parts of Studio will try to use the devstack default of localhost:8010 instead. (by @ormsbee)
  • [Bugfix] Fix build error caused by py2neo package that was abruptly pulled from pypi and GitHub. (by @regisb)

v16.1.2 (2023-10-02)

  • [Bugfix] Render config settings that are inside lists. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Correctly parse strings prefixed with pound "#" key in tutor config save --set KEY=#value commands. (by @regisb)
  • [Feature] New action introduced: CONFIG_LOADED. This action is called whenever the config is loaded and makes it possible to verify the validity of configuration settings at runtime. (by @CodeWithEmad)
  • [Bugfix] Fix file upload in open response assessments. (by @regisb)

v16.1.1 (2023-08-29)

  • 💥[Bugfix] Apply "fix mysql crash after upgrade to Palm" from 16.1.0 to tutor k8s deployments, as well. Users previously running tutor k8s with RUN_MYSQL: true, with any version between 16.0.0 and 16.1.0 including, might have to fix their data manually. For users running tutor local, this change has no effect, as the underlying issue was already fixed in 16.1.0. For users running tutor k8s with RUN_MYSQL: false, this change is also a no-op. (by @fghaas)

v16.1.0 (2023-08-16)

  • [Improvement] Improve support of legacy non-BuildKit mode: (by @regisb)
    • [Bugfix] Fix building of openedx Docker image.
    • [Improvement] Remove --cache-from build option.
    • [Improvement] Add a warning concerning the lack of support of the --build-context option.
  • 💥[Bugfix] Fix mysql crash after upgrade to Palm. After an upgrade to Palm, the mysql client run by Django defaults to a utf8mb4 character set and collation, but the mysql server still runs with utf8mb3. This causes broken data during migration from Olive to Palm, and more generally when data is written to the database. To resolve this issue, we explicitely set the utf8mb3 charset and collation in the client. Users who were running Palm might have to fix their data manually. In the future we will upgrade the mysql server to utf8mb4. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] We upgrade to MySQL 8.1.0 to avoid having to restart the server after the upgrade.
  • [Bugfix] Ask whether user wants to run locally during tutor local launch. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Fix a race condition that could prevent a newly provisioned Studio container from starting due to a FileExistsError when creating logs directory.

v16.0.5 (2023-08-09)

  • [Improvement] Upgrade the Open edX default version to open-release/palm.2. (by @regisb)

v16.0.4 (2023-08-03)

  • [Feature] Add support for HTTP/3, which considerably improves performance for Open edX. (by @regisb and @ghassanmas)
  • [Bugfix] Do not display discussion units when the forum is not enabled. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] Remove references to the wizard edition. (by @CodeWithEmad)

v16.0.3 (2023-07-28)

  • [Bugfix] Improve tutor ... do settheme default so that it reverts to the default theme rather than trying to switch to a nonexistent theme named "default". This will clear up some error noise from LMS/CMS logs. (by @kdmccormick)
  • [Security] Fix content libraries creation by unprivileged users in studio (see security advisory). (by @regisb)

v16.0.2 (2023-06-22)

  • [Bugfix] On Kubernetes, fix mysql deployment by removing the --ignore-db-dir option, which no longer exists on MySQL 8. (by @regisb)

v16.0.1 (2023-06-16)

  • [Bugfix] Fix loading default Kubernetes config. (by @regisb)

v16.0.0 (2023-06-14)

  • 💥[Feature] Upgrade to Palm. (by @regisb)
    • [Bugfix] Rename ORA2 file upload folder from "SET-ME-PLEASE (ex. bucket-name)" to "openedxuploads". This has the effect of moving the corresponding folder from the <tutor root>/data/lms/ora2 directory. MinIO users were not affected by this bug.
    • 💥[Improvement] During registration, the honor code and terms of service links are no longer visible by default. For most platforms, these links did not work anyway.
    • 💥[Deprecation] Halt support for Python 3.7. The binary release of Tutor is also no longer compatible with macOS 10.
    • 💥[Deprecation] Drop support for docker-compose, also known as Compose V1. The docker compose (no hyphen) plugin must be installed.
    • 💥[Refactor] We simplify the hooks API by getting rid of the ContextTemplate, FilterTemplate and ActionTemplate classes. As a consequences, the following changes occur:
      • APP was previously a ContextTemplate, and is now a dictionary of contexts indexed by name. Developers who implemented this context should replace Contexts.APP(...) by Contexts.app(...).
      • Removed the ENV_PATCH filter, which was for internal use only anyway.
      • The PLUGIN_LOADED ActionTemplate is now an Action which takes a single argument. (the plugin name)
    • 💥[Refactor] We refactored the hooks API further by removing the static hook indexes and the hooks names. As a consequence, the syntactic sugar functions from the "filters" and "actions" modules were all removed: get, add*, iterate*, apply*, do*, etc.
    • 💥[Deprecation] The obsolete filters COMMANDS_PRE_INIT and COMMANDS_INIT have been removed. Plugin developers should instead use CLI_DO_INIT_TASKS (with suitable priorities).
    • 💥[Feature] The "openedx" Docker image is no longer built with docker-compose in development on tutor dev start. This used to be the case to make sure that it was always up-to-date, but it introduced a discrepancy in how images were build (docker compose build vs docker build). As a consequence:
      • The "openedx" Docker image in development can be built with tutor images build openedx-dev.
      • The tutor dev/local start --skip-build option is removed. It is replaced by opt-in --build.
    • [Improvement] The IMAGES_BUILD filter now supports relative paths as strings, and not just as tuple of strings.
    • [Improvement] Auto-complete the image names in the images build/pull/push/printtag commands.
    • [Deprecation] For local installations, Docker v20.10.15 and Compose v2.0.0 are now the minimum required versions.
    • [Bugfix] Make tutor config printvalue ... print actual yaml-formatted values, such as "true" and "null"
    • 💥[Improvement] MongoDb was upgraded to 4.4.
  • 💥[Improvement] Deprecate the RUN_LMS and RUN_CMS tutor settings, which should be mostly unused. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] Greatly simplify ownership of bind-mounted volumes with docker-compose. Instead of running one service per application, we run just a single "permissions" service. This change should be backward-compatible. (by @regisb)
  • [Feature] Add a config save -a/--append -A/--remove options to conveniently append and remove values to/from list entries. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] Considerably accelerate building the "openedx" Docker image with RUN --mount=type=cache. This feature is only for Docker with BuildKit, so detection is performed at build-time. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] Automatically pull Docker image cache from the remote registry. Again, this will considerably improve image build-time, particularly in "cold-start" scenarios, where the images need to be built from scratch. The registry cache can be disabled with the tutor images build --no-registry-cache option. (by @regisb)
  • [Feature] Automatically mount host folders at build time. This is a really important feature, as it allows us to transparently build images using local forks of remote repositories. (by @regisb)
  • 💥[Deprecation] Remove the various --mount options. These options are replaced by persistent mounts, which are managed by the tutor mounts commands. (by @regisb)
  • [Feature] Add the do importdemocourse --repo-dir=... option, to import courses from subdirectories of git repositories. This allows us to import the openedx-test-course in Palm with: tutor local do importdemocourse --repo=https://github.com/openedx/openedx-test-course --version=o pen-release/palm.master --repo-dir=test-course/course. (by @regisb)

v15.3.7 (2023-06-13)

  • [Bugfix] Change authSource to authsource(LOWERCASE) in mongo db parameters. This allow to authenticate with credentials in openedx code.(by @johanv26)
  • [Feature] Add support for loading in-cluster config when running inside a pod. In certain scenarios, Tutor may operate within a pod that has access to a cluster through role binding and a service account. In these instances, the ./kube/config file may not be present, but kubectl commands can still execute without any problems. (by @CodeWithEmad)
  • [Improvement] Bump the default MongoDB Docker image reference from version 4.2.17 to 4.2.24. (by @fghaas)

v15.3.6 (2023-05-22)

  • [Feature] Upgrade to open-release/olive.4. (by @regisb)

v15.3.5 (2023-04-28)

  • [Feature] Make it possible to import the demo course from a different git repository or version. (by @regisb)
  • [Feature] Add a convenient do print-edx-platform-setting command to print the value of an edx-platform setting. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] Improve edx-platform logging by silencing a couple deprecation warnings. (by @regisb)
  • [Feature] Add a convenient do sqlshell command to enter a SQL shell as root. (by @regisb)

v15.3.4 (2023-04-13)

  • [Feature] Upgrade to open-release/olive.3. (by @regisb)

v15.3.3 (2023-03-22)

  • [Improvement] Make it possible to extend or override the configuration of the uWSGI server. (by @MoisesGSalas)

  • [Improvement] Running tutor dev launch --mount=edx-platform now performs all necessary setup for a local edx-platform development. This includes running setup.py, installing node modules, and building assets; previously, those steps had to be run explicitly after bind-mounting a local copy of edx-platform (by @kdmccormick).

  • [Bugfix] Running jobs in development mode with tutor dev do ... will now correctly use the development image. Previously, it used the production image, just like tutor local do .... (by @kdmccormick)

  • [Improvement] Faster build with npm clean-install instead of npm install in the openedx Docker image. This may change the version of npm packages installed next to edx-platform. (by @regisb)

  • [Feature] Introduce the DOCKER_BUILD_COMMAND filter which makes it possible to customize the docker build command. (by @regisb)

  • [Improvement] During openedx image build, copy dockerize utility from Docker registry for better efficiency. (by @regisb)

  • [Improvement] Better highlight enabled plugins in tutor plugins list. (by @regisb)

  • [Bugfix] Make sure that v0 plugin patches are applied in the same order as plugins are listed. (by @regisb)

v15.3.2 (2023-03-13)

  • [Bugfix] Use supported YouTube API for transcripts imports. (by @mariajgrimaldi)
  • [Feature] Add tutor config patches list CLI for listing available patches. (by @mafermazu)
  • [Bugfix] Add the missing UWSGI_WORKERS env variables to the lms and cms k8s deployments. (by @MoisesGSalas)

v15.3.1 (2023-02-28)

  • [Bugfix] patchStrategicMerge can now be applied to jobs. (by @keithgg)

v15.3.0 (2023-02-10)

  • [Feature] Introduce plugin indexes, described in this Tutor enhancement proposal. This new feature introduces a lot of new plugins commands. See the docs for more information. (by @regisb)

  • [Improvement] Add the plugins list --enabled option. (by @regisb)

  • 💥[Improvement] Modify the output of plugins list. Enabled plugins are indicated as "enabled". Installed but not enabled plugins are no longer indicated as "disabled" but as "installed".

  • 💥[Feature] Simplify the hooks API. The modules tutor.hooks.actions, tutor.hooks.filters, and tutor.hooks.contexts are no longer part of the API. This change should not affect most developers, who only use the Actions and Filters classes (notice the plural) from tutor.hooks. (by @regisb)

    • Instead of tutor.hooks.actions.get("some:action"), use tutor.hooks.Actions.SOME_ACTION.
    • Instead of tutor.hooks.filters.get("some:filter"), use tutor.hooks.Filters.SOME_FILTER.
    • Instead of tutor.hooks.actions.add("some:action"), use tutor.hooks.Actions.SOME_ACTION.add(). The same applies to the do method.
    • Instead of tutor.hooks.filters.add("some:filter"), use tutor.hooks.Filters.SOME_FILTER.add(). The same applies to the add_item, add_items, apply, and iterate methods.
    • Instead of tutor.hooks.contexts.enter, use tutor.core.hooks.contexts.enter.
  • [Improvement] Make it possible to override the max upload size in the LMS and the CMS. This is achieved by moving the "caddyfile-lms" and "caddyfile-cms" patches just before the import proxy declarations. We also wrap the request_body directives within handle statements, which means that the max_body sizes can be overridden for specific paths. (by @regisb)

  • [Security] Fix grading issue in LTI consumer XBlock. See security advisory. (by @regisb)

  • [Feature] Upgrade all Open edX services to open-release/olive.2. (by @regisb)

v15.2.0 (2023-01-19)

  • 💥[Bugfix] Fix "example.com" links in registration emails. This is a breaking change for platforms that have modified the "id" field of the LMS site object in the database. These platforms should set SITE_ID=1 in the common settings via a plugin. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Running tutor k8s upgrade --from=maple won't apply and won't wait for the MySQL deployment to be ready if RUN_MYSQL: false (When you host your MySQL somewhere else like RDS) (by @CodeWithEmad)
  • [Bugfix] Fix HTML component editing in studio by cherry-picking upstream fix. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] Changes annotations from typing to use built-in generic types from __future__.annotations (by @Carlos-Muniz)
  • [Improvement] Resolve CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST warnings that pollute the LMS and CMS logs. As far as we know they were not causing any issue, apart from being a nuisance. (by @regisb)

v15.1.0 (2022-12-13)

  • [Improvement] Upgrade ipdb and ipython packages in the openedx development image. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] Skip unnecessary image building in development. This should make tutor dev launch slightly faster. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Fix Authn MFE login in development by disabling enterprise integration. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Fix "Invalid value for --from" when running tutor local upgrade --from=nutmeg. If you are facing this error, just run tutor local launch and your platform should be automatically upgraded.
  • [Bugfix] Fix "TypeError: Parameters to Generic[...] must all be type variables" error. This error may occur when upgrading from a very old installation of Tutor. It is due to an old version of the typing-extensions package.
  • 💥[Deprecation] Get rid of the quickstart command. v15.0.0 introduced a deprecation warning, but we actually want users to stop using this command. Instead, use launch (by @regisb).
  • [Improvement] Backfill persistent grades during upgrade from Nutmeg. If you observe missing grades after the upgrade from Nutmeg, run tutor local upgrade --from=nutmeg. (by @regisb)

v15.0.0 (2022-12-06)

  • 💥[Feature] Upgrade to Olive (by @regisb):
    • Mypy type checking options were modified: developers are encouraged to add the --implicit-reexport option to their IDE.
  • [Bugfix] Update problem templates according newer python versions. (by @mariajgrimaldi)
  • [Improvement] Add the -h help option to all commands and subcommands. Previously, we could only use --help, which is quite long for lazy fingers. (by @regisb)
  • 💥[Feature] Add an extensible local/dev/k8s do ... command to trigger custom job commands. These commands are used to run a series of bash scripts in designated containers. Any plugin can add custom jobs thanks to the CLI_DO_COMMANDS filter. This causes the following breaking changes:
    • The "init", "createuser", "settheme", "importdemocourse" commands were all migrated to this new interface. For instance, tutor local init was replaced by tutor local do init.
    • Plugin developers are encouraged to replace calls to the COMMANDS_INIT and COMMANDS_PRE_INIT filters by CLI_DO_INIT_TASKS.
  • [Feature] Implement hook filter priorities, which work like action priorities. (by @regisb)
  • 💥[Improvement] Remove the local/dev bindmount commands, which have been marked as deprecated for some time. The --mount option should be used instead.
  • 💥[Bugfix] Fix local installation requirements. Plugins that implemented the "openedx-dockerfile-post-python-requirements" patch and that needed access to the edx-platform repo will no longer work. Instead, these plugins should implement the "openedx-dockerfile-pre-assets" patch. This scenario should be very rare, though. (by @regisb)
  • 💥[Improvement] Rename the implementation of tutor quickstart to tutor launch. (by @Carlos-Muniz)
  • 💥[Improvement] Remove the implementation of tutor dev runserver. (by @Carlos-Muniz)
  • [Bugfix] Fix MongoDB replica set connection error resulting from edx-platform's pymongo (3.10.1 -> 3.12.3) upgrade (edx-platform#30569). (by @ormsbee)
  • [Bugfix] Update celery invocations for lms-worker and cms-worker to be compatible with Celery 5 CLI.
  • [Improvement] Point CMS at its config file using CMS_CFG environment variable instead of deprecated STUDIO_CFG.

v14.2.3 (2022-12-06)

  • [Security] Fix rotation of JWT tokens for disabled users. (by @regisb)

v14.2.2 (2022-11-29)

  • [Bugfix] Fix jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: expected token 'end of statement block', got '|' error by bumping the minimum required version of the Jinja2 package.

  • [Feature] Add support for MongoDB SSL, authentication source, mechanism and replica set via the MONGODB_USE_SSL, MONGODB_AUTH_MECHANISM, MONGODB_AUTH_SOURCE, MONGODB_REPLICA_SET settings. (by @zakum1 and @regisb)

  • [Bugfix] Fix tag of "openedx" development Docker image. Previously, this Docker tag did not include the Tutor version. As a consequence, a different cached image could be used in some cases. For instance: when running tutor dev run commands. Now, the image tag is "openedx-dev:TUTOR_VERSION".

  • [Bugfix] Fix name of Swahili locale: it is "sw-ke" and not "sw" (by @regisb).

  • [Security] Apply drag-n-drop v2 xblock security patch. (by @regisb)

v14.2.1 (2022-11-24)

  • [Improvement] Auto-completion of plugins and config arguments: plugins enable/disable NAME, plugins install PATH, config save --set KEY=VAL, config save --unset KEY, config printvalue KEY. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Fix minimum click version (>= 8.0.0) when installing tutor from pip.
  • [Improvement] Enable CORS by default for both LMS and CMS by moving those settings to the common_all partial. (by @arbrandes)

v14.2.0 (2022-11-21)

  • [Improvement] Auto-complete implicit local/dev --mount /path/to/... options. (by @regisb)
  • 💥[Feature] Strong typing of action and filter hooks: this allows us to detect incorrect calls to actions.add or filters.add early. Strong typing forces us to break the do and apply API by removing the context named argument. Developers should replace do(context=...) by do_from_context(..., ) (and similar for apply).

v14.1.2 (2022-11-02)

  • [Security] Fix edx-platform XSS vulnerability on "next" parameter. (by @regisb)

v14.1.1 (2022-10-25)

  • [Deprecation] Tutor is no longer compatible with Python 3.6. (by @regisb)
  • [Security] Fix xblock ajax handler vulnerability. (by @regisb)
  • [Improvement] Use web proxy gzip encoding to improve bandwidth. We observe a 75% size reduction on the LMS dashboard. (by @ghassanmas)

v14.1.0 (2022-10-10)

  • [Improvement] Upgrade Scorm XBlock to v14.0.0. (by @regisb)
  • 💥[Improvement] The Richie plugin was transferred to the Openfun organization; thus, it is no longer officially supported and it is removed from the default set of plugins that ships with pip install tutor[full] or the Tutor pre-compiled binary. Users are encouraged to uninstall the tutor-richie Python package and install the tutor-contrib-richie package instead.
  • [Feature] Upgrade edx-platform i18n strings to nutmeg.2. (by @regisb)

v14.0.5 (2022-08-29)

  • [Bugfix] Fix MongoDB replica set connection error resulting from edx-platform's pymongo (3.10.1 -> 3.12.3) upgrade (edx-platform#30569). (by @ormsbee)
  • [Feature] Upgrade all applications to open-release/nutmeg.2. (by @BbrSofiane)

v14.0.4 (2022-07-29)

  • [Feature] Add the -m/--mount option to tutor dev quickstart. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Fix tutor dev start -m /path/to/frontend-app-learning by introducing dev-specific COMPOSE_DEV_TMP and COMPOSE_DEV_JOBS_TMP filters (by @regisb).
  • [Bugfix] Log the shell commands that Tutor executes more accurately. (by @kdmccormick)
  • [Bugfix] tutor dev quickstart would fail under certain versions of docker-compose due to a bug in the logic that handled volume mounting. (by @kdmccormick)
  • [Bugfix] The tutor k8s start command will succeed even when k8s-override and kustomization-patches-strategic-merge are not specified. (by @edazzocaisser)
  • [BugFix] kubectl wait checks deployments instead of pods as it could hang indefinitely if there are extra pods in a broken state. (by @keithgg)

v14.0.3 (2022-07-09)

  • [Bugfix] Build openedx-dev Docker image even when the host user is root, for instance on Windows. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Patch nutmeg.1 release with LTI 1.3 fix. (by @ormsbee)
  • [Improvement] Make it possible to override k8s resources in plugins using k8s-override patch. (by @foadlind)

v14.0.2 (2022-06-27)

  • [Bugfix] Update problem with hint template so it works with newer python versions. (by @mariajgrimaldi)
  • [Feature] Add default PYTHONBREAKPOINT to openedx/Dockerfile (by @Carlos-Muniz)
  • [Bugfix] Fix smtp server port in cms.yml which was causing email sending failures in the Studio. (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Skip waiting for MongoDB if it is served using SRV records. (by @gabor-boros)
  • [Improvement] Use git am instead of cherry-pick to simplify patching process.
  • [Improvement] Tutor is now compatible with Docker Compose subcommand.

v14.0.1 (2022-06-13)

  • [Bugfix] Fix missing tables on migration from maple (#689). (by @ibrmora)
  • [Bugfix] Fix plugin patches in cms.env.yml template.

v14.0.0 (2022-06-09)

  • 💥[Feature] Upgrade to Nutmeg: (by @regisb)
    • 💥[Feature] Hide a course from the /course search page in the LMS when the course visibility is set to "none" in the Studio. (thanks @ghassanmas!)
    • 💥[Improvement] The lms.env.json and cms.env.json files are moved to lms.env.yml and cms.env.yml. As a consequence, plugin developers must reformat the following patches to use YAML format, and not JSON: "common-env-features", "lms-env-features", "cms-env-features", "lms-env", "cms-env", "openedx-auth".
    • 💥[Feature] Persistent grades are now enabled by default.
    • [Bugfix] Remove edX references from bulk emails (issue).
    • [Improvement] For Tutor Nightly (and only Nightly), official plugins are now installed from their nightly branches on GitHub instead of a version range on PyPI. This will allow Nightly users to install all official plugins by running pip install -e ".[full]".
    • [Bugfix] Start MongoDB when running migrations, because a new data migration fails if MongoDB is not running

v13.3.1 (2022-06-06)

  • [Bugfix] Crashing celery workers in development (#681). (by @regisb)
  • [Bugfix] Fix studio logout issue. (by @Alec4r)

v13.3.0 (2022-06-03)
