Welcome to your monthly LifterLMS News You Can Use, July edition: #018.
Read About Recent Technical Product Updates (We’ve been busy)!
LifterLMS Version 4.0.0
This is a major release. Many backwards incompatible changes have been made that may affect your site if you have custom code which rely on previously deprecated functions or methods. If you’re not sure about your custom code, test the upgrade in a staging site.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue encountered during quiz grading.
- Add RTL language support for popover interfaces found throughout the course builder.
- Fixed issue encountered in MySQL 8.0 when using the bbPress integration.
LifterLMS REST API 1.0.0-beta.13
- Bugfix: Fixed error response messages on the instructors endpoint.
- Bugfix: Fixed student progress deletion endpoint issues preventing progress from being fully removed.
Action Scheduler Library
Switches from prospress/action-scheduler to woocommerce/action-scheduler. The repository has been moved but it’s the same library & upgrades to latest version (3.1.6).
While this is a semantically major upgrade of the library there are no backwards incompatible changes to the public API.
There have been several deprecated functions/classes. The LifterLMS core does not directly use any of these deprecated functions but 3rd parties might and should review the changelog of the library to see if they are affected by any deprecations.
