Tutor v13.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2022-04-24 // about 2 years ago
    • [Improvement] Add the COMPOSE_PROJECT_STARTED action and run dev stop on local start (and vice versa). (by @regisb)
    • [Feature] Introduce local/dev copyfrom command to copy contents from a container. (by @regisb)
    • ๐Ÿ›  [Bugfix] Fix a race condition that could prevent a newly provisioned LMS container from starting due to a FileExistsError when creating data folders.
    • ๐Ÿš€ [Deprecation] Mark tutor dev runserver as deprecated in favor of tutor dev start. Since start now supports bind-mounting and breakpoint debugging, runserver is redundant and will be removed in a future release. (by @kdmccormick)
    • [Improvement] Allow breakpoint debugging when attached to a service via tutor dev start SERVICE. (by @kdmccormick)
    • ๐Ÿ”’ [Security] Apply rate limiting security fix (see commit). (by @regisb)
    • [Feature] Introduce the -m/--mount option in local and dev commands to auto-magically bind-mount folders from the host. (by @regisb)
    • ๐Ÿšš [Feature] Add tutor dev quickstart command, which is similar to tutor local quickstart, except that it uses dev containers instead of local production ones and includes some other small differences for the convience of Open edX developers. This should remove some friction from the Open edX development setup process, which previously required that users provision using local producation containers (tutor local quickstart) but then stop them and switch to dev containers (tutor local stop && tutor dev start -d). (by @kdmccormick)
    • ๐Ÿšš ๐Ÿ’ฅ[Improvement] Make it possible to run tutor k8s exec <command with multiple arguments> (#636). As a consequence, it is no longer possible to run quoted commands: tutor k8s exec "<some command>". Instead, you should remove the quotes: tutor k8s exec <some command>. (by @regisb)
    • ๐Ÿ’ฅ[Deprecation] Drop support for the TUTOR_EDX_PLATFORM_SETTINGS environment variable. It is now recommended to create a plugin instead. (by @regisb)
    • ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ’ฅ[Improvement] Complete overhaul of the plugin extension mechanism. Tutor now has a hook-based Python API: actions can be triggered at different points of the application life cycle and data can be modified thanks to custom filters. The v0 plugin API is still supported, for backward compatibility, but plugin developers are encouraged to migrate their plugins to the new API. See the new plugin tutorial for more information. (by @regisb)
    • ๐Ÿ”Œ [Improvement] Improved the output of tutor plugins list. (by @regisb)
    • [Feature] Add tutor [dev|local|k8s] status command, which provides basic information about the platform's status. (by @kdmccormick)
