Changes

• 💥[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.
