EdX Release on 8 March 2016

March 8, 2016 | By


EdX has just released the newest version of the edX platform on edx.org and edX Edge.

This release includes the following updates and enhancements.

  • The LMS dashboard now displays information about more than one XSeries for courses. If a course is part of more than one XSeries, information about each XSeries appears in the dashboard section for that course.
  • The search feature for edX documentation includes two improvements. One improvement is that you can now include punctuation and other non-alphanumeric characters in search terms. For example, you can search for terms such as “A/B testing” or “user_id.” The other improvement is that the snippet of content in search results no longer shows .. include:: for some results. Those search results now show a sample of the actual documentation content in the results.

​For more information about other changes in this release, see the edX Release Notes. You can access the weekly release notes, as well as all of the edX documentation, at docs.edx.org.
