Description

Formerly called "Learning Core 1.0"

Deliverable (WIP)

The V1.0 release shall provide stable, documented code APIs which support the ongoing and future development of platform features including: content libraries, modular learning pathways, and modernized SQL-backed courseware.

A stable release of openedx-core which is suitable for:

  • Continual delivery of Content Libraries improvements
  • Migration of courses from ModuleStore
  • Innovative new content delivery structures (e.g., some of the proposals from the Pathways project, like "standalone subsection")
  • Community-developed content plugins

After this release, we would avoid making breaking changes to openedx-core, so it is important to have all the foundations in a good place. We also need to deliver more documentation and address issues around how openedx-core interfaces with other codebases (openedx-platform, xblock, opaque-keys).

Tasks which are not critical to v1.0 have been moved here:
