Comment: Add deprecation notice for `save` param in anonymous user ID generation (DEPR-148)

...

  • The Learning MFE is slated to be the default experience courseware experience for Lilac (Kyle McCormick)

    • Both course-run-level and global opt-out will be available via Waffle flag, falling back to the Legacy courseware frontend.

    • This necessitates that the Learning MFE will work out-of-the-box in Lilac. Need to connect more with BTR on this.

    • We expect all this to be true for the Outlines and Dates pages as well (Michael Terry (Deactivated) , Jason Myatt (Deactivated) )

    • We expect that this is the last named release to support Legacy courseware frontend.

  • Switched from Elasticsearch 1 to Elasticsearch 7 across Open edX. This may require some syntax changes for custom scripts that used search APIs. (Michael Terry (Deactivated) )

    • Please change queries that used __not to __exclude

    • Please properly URL-encode any plus signs in query URLs (like in course run key parameters) to %2b. Our Elasticsearch 7 implementation is more strict in that regard.

    • Please change queries against course-discovery that used pacing to pacing_type

  • Xblock URL token signing can now be migrated to use a new multi-key mechanism rather than being tied to SECRET_KEY. It is recommended that you perform this migration, as it permits easier rotation of SECRET_KEY. (Tim McCormack)

  • Various bug fixes and updates around course certificate generation (crice (Deactivated))

    • In an effort to be more inclusive, code referencing the course CertificateWhitelist model is being updated to instead refer to a Certificate Allowlist. The model itself has not yet been renamed.

    • Temporary CourseWaffleFlag added to control access to updated behavior of the CertificateWhitelist (aka Certificate Allowlist)

    • Temporary CourseWaffleFlag added to control access to updated behavior of the course certificates

    • The management command named create_fake_cert has been removed. The Certificate Allowlist should be used in its place.

    • The management command named gen_cert_report has been removed. To view the status of generated course certificates, query the certificates_generatedcertificate database table.

    • A user can no longer be added to both the Certificate Allowlist (meaning the user should be granted certificate) and the Certificate Invalidation list (meaning the user should not be granted a certificate) for the same course run.

    • Removal of the allow_certificate field on the UserProfile model has begun (https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/DEPR-140)

  • Added a new export-course-metadata-to-storage feature. In order to use it set COURSE_METADATA_EXPORT_BUCKET and COURSE_METADATA_EXPORT_STORAGE. Useful for external services you might have that want to scrape course data.' (Matthew Piatetsky (Deactivated))

  • In common.djangoapps.student.models, the save parameter is deprecated for functions anonymous_id_for_user and unique_id_for_user, and these functions will always save generated IDs to the database. This allows future decoupling of ID generation from SECRET_KEY. Including the parameter will result in a DeprecationWarning; after Lilac we plan to remove the parameter (which will be a separate breaking change – DEPR-148). (Tim McCormack)
