The 15th Open edX community release will be named Olive. It will be released December 9th, 2022. The open-release/olive.master branches will be created two months earlier, on October 10th. Code on master/main as of October 10th will be part of Olive. Code merged after that will need special handling to be part of Olive.

Put stuff here that we have to remember when we start packaging up Olive.  Especially important is information that system installers or operators will need to know. Please include your name when you add an item, so that we can get back to you with questions.

Deprecations and Removals

Based on estimated dates 2022-04-11 to 2022-10-10.

  • The library has been deprecated and will be archived by the time of release. @Zach Hancock to update once that is completed.

  • A few pieces of the legacy/deprecated learner experience have been removed entirely in favor of the MFE experience. Specifically, the outline, dates, and courseware tabs. Instead, you must run the Learning MFE and its tabs will be used. Along with the legacy code, a few old waffle flags have been removed: course_experience.latest_update, course_experience.show_upgrade_msg_on_course_home, course_experience.upgrade_deadline_message, course_home.course_home_use_legacy_frontend, courseware.microfrontend_course_team_preview, and courseware.use_legacy_frontend @Michael Terry (Deactivated)

  • changes the ecommerce application so that it looks at the enterprise-catalog service for catalog information instead of looking at the deprecated v1 catalog api in edx-enterprise.

    • As a consequence of this change, we read the enterprise_catalog_api_url from site configuration so ensure that this setting is set for any site that loads enterprise catalog data. This setting is just a passthrough for settings.ENTERPRISE_CATALOG_API_URL which should be loaded into your django settings, however you load that.

    • See for more details.

  • [Andy Shultz] The learner view has been removed from Insights and the Data API. It has not yet been entirely removed from the pipeline but learner data is now impossible to access if generated.

  • : EdxRestApiClient has been deprecated since April, 2019. As of the Olive release, it has been removed. Please use OAuthAPIClient.

  • The Course Home Outline and Dates tabs have been moved to the frontend-app-learning MFE, under course-home.

    • If Course Outlines are not displaying on some courses after upgrading, please try running the backfill_course_outlines management command.
