AMY release v1.5.1
Since my comeback to university for MSc, the development of AMY slowed down. This past month we had a number of submissions from prospect GSOC’16 students (yay!) and, for the first time, number of bugs fixed exceeded number of new enhancements.
Since the number of new features is small, I decided to release a minor version (v1.5.1).
Contributions by GSOC students
March 2016 held GSOC’16 applications period for students. We had a lot of students this year and we encouraged them to take a look at AMY and maybe fix something. This resulted in a number of good contributions.
New features
Starting with new features since there’s so few of them:
- Greg Wilson extended the
check_certificates.pycommand to additionally return events people participated in - Shubham Singh added “Notes” field to instructor profile update form
- Shubham Singh added new tag “hackaton”
- Greg Wilson removed command
check_badges.py - I enabled autogeneration of user’s username after they’re added to the database
- Greg Wilson added link to Privacy Policy in the footer.
