As you may have seen from the openedx-ops mailing list, we’ve released the 1st release candidate of Hawthorn! If all goes well, we will have the “gold” release in a couple of weeks.
TL;DR
Get started with Docker Devstack here.
Here’s what Ned had to say about it:
The first Hawthorn release candidate is available: open-release/hawthorn.1rc1 . This is not for production. This release is based on the edx.org code of July 3rd.
Some notes:
- This is the Hawthorn code. Between now and the release of Hawthorn.1, there will be fixes applied, but typical development will not affect Hawthorn from this point on.
- There is no upgrade script from Ginkgo to Hawthorn.
- Instead of upgrading, we will be supporting moving your data and configuration from a Ginkgo installation to a new Hawthorn installation.
- Docs and release notes have not been updated yet.
- Devstack is now based on Docker rather than Vagrant. See the Docker Devstack README.
- There is no more fullstack. For native installations use the usual instructions.
If you find a problem with this release, please report it in JIRA or on the openedx-ops mailing list. When reporting a problem, please provide as many details as you can so that we can get the problem fixed quickly and well.Thanks.–Ned.
Happy Hacking!
