This is not a list of the features and changes that will be available in Hawthorn. This page is only for release concerns. See the product announcements for changes that have been made since Ginkgo. |
Put stuff here that we have to remember when we start packaging up for Hawthorn. Please include your name when you add an item, so that we can get back to you with questions.
The unified_course_tab flag continues to be deprecated, the default for the flag was changed from False to True, and the flag is planned to be removed in the next release. We recommend switching this flag to True in advance of being forced into it with the next release. Matthew Piatetsky (Deactivated) Robert Raposa
The upgrade to Django 1.11 will requires a non-backward-compatible ALTER TABLE on the auth_user table, and so some outage will be required when upgrading from Ginkgo to Hawthorn.
Testing on a recent edx.master (prior to the Django 1.11 upgrade) also noted these MySQL database exceptions for a few essential operations.
OperationalError: (1054, "Unknown column 'email_marketing_emailmarketingconfiguration.sailthru_activation_template' in 'field list'")
ProgrammingError: (1146, "Table 'hawthornupgrade_sandbox_opencraft_hosting_edxapp.student_historicalcourseenrollment' doesn't exist")
