1.0.0

This is the first stable release of Richie 🎉

Added

• Add sensible defaults for third party settings that Richie requires,
• Add a home page to the site structure to avoid a 404 error on startup.

Changed

• Make sure the recursive_page_creation helper respects an existing home
  page and plays well with multiple sites,
• Configure Django settings to pass all heartbeat checks,
• Make filter autosuggestions dynamic based on backend settings. Also runs
  separate autocompletion requests for each meta category and shows them
  under their separate titles.

Fixed

• Fix blockplugin templatetag breaking all pages using it when in edit mode,
• Fix error when one of the site's languages was not found in ALL_LANGUAGES.
• The richie_init job is now idempotent and can thus be run multiple times.

1.0.0-beta.9

Added

• Replace DjangoCMS picture plugin by our simple picture plugin: only one
  field to upload the image, all attributes that control how the image is
  resized, cropped and displayed are now in the code,
• In the sandbox project, configure Django Filer to serve private files,
• Create a user group for each course and give it the permission to manage
  pages below the course (snapshots and course runs),
• Create a folder in Django Filer for each organization and for each course,
• When a new course is created for an organization, automatically associate
  permissions to organization admins (as defined in settings or with sensible
  defaults),
• Configure permission checks on page creations via the CMS wizard,
• Automatically create a page role and associate admin permissions when a new
  organization page is created (as defined in settings or with sensible
  defaults),
• Add page roles to link a user group to a CMS page, searchable via the admin,
• Add page roles to link a user group to a CMS page,
• Add a persons index and viewset to enable text queries and autocomplete
  requests on person names from the API.
• Index person names on courses to allow users to find courses when they
  type a related person's name in full text search.
• Add a persons filter to the course Search view and suggest persons in
  autocomplete search field.
• Add a management command to create the required site structure,
• Allow to dynamically set webpack publicPath. This is useful if a CDN is used
  to load statics. Define the settings CDN_DOMAIN and it will be used as base
  domain to fetch js chunks.

Changed

• Restrict course content to plain text in standard sections,
• Change the order of placeholders on the course page following feedback from
  our support team,
• Simplify the Docker development stack to have a single Dockerfile and
  docker-compose configuration for testing either with MySQL or PostgreSQL
  database backend

• Fail and return a meaningful error when an invalid slug is submitted in
  page creation wizards,
• Fix person placeholders mistakenly showing on the organization page,
• Fix serializer that was failing for a course indexed with no organization,
• The language filter, which is not a drilldown filter, no longer behaves
  like one. Ditto for any future similar filters,
• All children are now shown when a parent filter value is "opened", instead
  of just the top 5 by facet count.

1.0.0-beta.8

Added

• Link persons to a random set of organizations in the demo site,
• Add organizations to a person via plugins on the person detail page,
• Show related persons on the organization detail page,
• On a person detail page, show courses to which s.he participated and blogposts s.he authored,
• Show results count in the course search results list.

• Prevent search filters from jumping around by displaying facets with zero results as disabled and always reserving the space for the "Clear filters" button,
• Improve demo dataset by assigning each person to an organization,
• Use checkboxes to enable/disable filters in search page,

Changed

• Harmonize how cards look on the site (grey border and white background),

• Change layout global background to darker grey,
• Improve 'categories' page layout,
• Every organization in a list is now displayed with an organization glimpse.

• Add a new "Assessment" section in the course page.

Changed

• Hide empty placeholders from the course public page,
• Simplify the page creation wizard by reducing possibilities and automating object relations based on the navigation context:
  • ensure we are not creating duplicate slugs when creating a page,

Changed

• Make site look generic and deploy it to richie.education,
• Build frontend in production mode,
• Upgrade to Python 3.7,
• Switch to indexing courses instead of course runs,
• Allow course run dates to be null. If a start date is null, the course run is
  to be programmed, if an end date is null, the course run (or its enrollment) is deemed to
  last forever,

  DjangoCMS project,

Fixed

• Richie templates now live in core instead of sandbox.
• Reorganize the search frontend to support nested filters.
• The CI now effectively tests packaging issues.
• The apps.core.fields module is no longer missing from Richie's package.
• Fixed the bin/pylint script to work with the default database engine (PostgreSQL)
• Fixed rebuild & bootstrap Makefile rules

1.0.0-beta.2

Added

• Users can create a custom taxonomy of categories in the CMS (eg. Subjects with Computer Science (incl. Algorithms & Data Structures), History, etc., and Levels with Beginner, Intermediate, etc.).
• Filters are dynamically generated by the backend to support custom meta categories (level 1 nodes in the category taxonomy) and fix structual issues with dates.
• Integrate the homepage and fill it with content in the demo-site.
• Integrate a design for the list of organizations page.

Fixed

• Richie is compatible with MySQL, with database switching utilities and dedicated tests.

1.0.0-beta.1

  the master branch state.

Fixed:

• The organization logo maximal size is now restrained to its container size.
• We no longer publish development images to DockerHub as they appear useless.
