Release Notes

If you are upgrading KA Lite from a previous version, please always take time to read the release notes.

Warning

You should only upgrade one major version at a time. For instance, upgrading from 0.16.x to 0.17.x is fine - but upgrading from 0.15.x to 0.17.x is not guaranteed to work.

0.17.6.dev

Bug fixes

  • Remove *pyc files in ka-lite-static (affected 0.17.5 release)
  • Fix rare GEOSException on systems with libgeos #5592
  • Sync’ing timeouts fixed #5615
  • Platform-specific *.pyc artifacts found in distributed installers, likely harmless #5611

0.17.5

Bug fixes

  • Slow download using retrievecontentpack on Raspberry Pi #5575
  • Customized content packs may fail depending on the Zip program used #5476

Removed

  • Removed --foreground flag from retrievecontentpack command, the default behaviour is foreground #5575

0.17.4

Added

  • Progress displayed while downloading content packs #5356
  • Customizable welcome message setting KALITE_WELCOME_MESSAGE displayed to admin users on first login #5522

Bug fixes

  • Video download retry upon connection establishment errors #5528
  • Resume download if unplugged connection while downloading #5545
  • Blank videos produced when kalite.learningequality.org server down #5538
  • Video download jobs hanging indefinitely after pressing “Cancel” #5545
  • Also delete content database when deleting a content pack #5545
  • Simplified login is now working when there are 1,000 or more users registered in a facility. #5523

Developers

  • Do not use npm clean, now requires npm>=5 for building on unclean systems #5519

Known issues

  • The English Math topic (top-level) contains a number of misplaced subtopics in the 0.17 series. The problem has propagated from upstream data. The misplacement clutters/obstructs the navigation for students, and it has been a priority to fix this in 0.18, released shortly after 0.17.4. But it’s recommended to upgrade to 0.18 and download new video contents following from the new content pack (~450 videos). See below for tips on how to install a content pack from a different KA Lite release. #5561
  • It isn’t possible to cancel video downloads if a video is downloading while the connection is switched off.
  • Chrome 55-56 has issues scrolling the menus on touch devices. Upgrading to Chrome 57 fixes this. #5407
  • Windows needs at least Python 2.7.11. The Windows installer for KA Lite will install the latest version of Python. If you installed KA Lite in another way, and your Python installation is more than a year old, you probably have to upgrade Python - you can fetch the latest 2.7.12 version here.
  • Windows installer tray application option “Run on start” does not work, see learningequality/installers#106 (also contains a work-around)
  • Windows + IE9 One-Click device registration is broken. Work-around: Use a different browser or use manual device registration. #5409
  • Firefox 47: Subtitles are misaligned in the video player. This is fixed by upgrading Firefox.
  • A limited number of exercises with radio buttons have problems displaying #5172

Tip

It is possible to install a 0.16 content pack in a 0.17 release as a work-around. Download a specific content pack and then install it from command-line. Example:

# Download content pack to "en_0.16.zip"
$ wget -r -O en_0.16.zip http://pantry.learningequality.org/downloads/ka-lite/0.16/content/contentpacks/en.zip
# Install "en_0.16.zip"
$ kalite manage retrievecontentpack local en en_0.16.zip

0.17.3

Bug fixes

  • Remaining content titles and message IDs in Coach Reports translated #5511 #5509

0.17.2

Warning

New content packs were built for this release (July 2017). Users of non-English content packs should upgrade both the content packs and the videos. For the English content update, there are 396 new videos to be downloaded.

If you are using only English contents, you have the option to stay with previously downloaded content packs, provided that you use an installer that does not bundle the English content pack (Debian/Ubuntu packages or pip).

Bug fixes

  • Severe: Missing translations - all content packs rebuilt #5477
  • Do not rely on ifconfig removed in Ubuntu 17.04+ #5455
  • Display resource titles on the chosen locale inside the Teach tab #5494
  • Broken questions removed upstream (missing radio buttons) #5172

New Features

  • Enabled captions by default for English dubbed videos #5464
  • About/Diagnose page #5452

  • Respect selected date range on tabular coach report #5022
  • Correct summary of total exercise attempts on coach reports #5020
  • Do not load video into memory to check its size, just use disk stats #2909
  • Print server address after kalite start #5441
  • Log everything from automatic initialization in kalite start and kalite manage setup #5408
  • Remove unused Django package installed in kalite/packages/dist #5419

  • Mac/OSX solved 100% CPU usage issue ka-lite-installers#447
  • Mac/OSX correctly display KA Lite’s version number ka-lite-installers#448
  • Debian/Ubuntu/Raspberry Pi (all packages) correctly adds system.d startup service - solves KA Lite not starting at boot ka-lite-installers#440

Known issues

  • Chrome 55-56 has issues scrolling the menus on touch devices. Upgrading to Chrome 57 fixes this. #5407
  • Windows needs at least Python 2.7.11. The Windows installer for KA Lite will install the latest version of Python. If you installed KA Lite in another way, and your Python installation is more than a year old, you probably have to upgrade Python - you can fetch the latest 2.7.12 version here.
  • Windows installer tray application option “Run on start” does not work, see learningequality/installers#106 (also contains a work-around)
  • Windows + IE9 One-Click device registration is broken. Work-around: Use a different browser or use manual device registration. #5409

  • Make tests run on Selenium 3.3+ and geckodriver 0.15 (Firefox) #5429
  • Fixed an issue in code coverage, added tests for CLI, coverage is now at >61% #5445

0.17.0

Content

Contents have been updated from upstream Khan Academy. We have solved issues regarding contents merged from both Youtube and KhanAcademy.org, meaning that previous inaccuracies in 0.16 content packs are now solved.

  • Languages fixed/added in 0.17:
    • Kannada, Malay, Polish, Swahili, Zulu
  • Languages updated:
    • Bulgarian, English, Bengali, Danish, German, Spanish (Castilian), French, Hindi, Indonesian, Georgian, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Tamil, Xhosa
  • Languages with remaining issues:
    • Arabic, we are still receiving wrong data from upstream APIs that we cannot fix.
  • General updates:
    • English subtitles are now available by default for all videos in the English content pack.
    • Many exercises are rearranged and updated, as with javascript libraries. This will solve an unknown number of javascript errors, for instance #5316

Note

After upgrading to version 0.17, you should visit the Manage tab to upgrade your languages and videos. You can also use kalite manage contentpackchecker all --update to automate the download and installation of new content packs.

You should always upgrade the English content pack because it contains exercise data needed by the other content packs. However, most installers bundle the English content pack, so after updating the software, you may find that you only need to upgrade other installed languages.

New features

  • New management command clearuserdata, makes it easy to prepare a prototype device for subsequent cloning. #5341
  • Patch from Rachel means you can now deep link a page in a specific language, using this URL shortcut: /api/i18n/set_default_language/?lang=es&returnUrl=/learn/khan/math #5342 - (Thanks: Jonathan Field)
  • Updates for improved Raspbian Jessie support.

Bug fixes

  • Installation works with latest setuptools >= 30.0 affecting almost any recent system using pip install. #5352
  • Installation works with latest pip 9. #5319
  • kalite manage contentpackchecker all --update wrongly retrieved all available content packs. Now only updates installed content packs.
  • No content pack files are placed in STATIC_ROOT, ensuring that kalite manage collectstatic will not remove any files from content packs (subtitles!). #5386 #5073
  • Online availability incorrectly detected, bypassing registration progress on Video and Language downloads #5401

  • Dev Auto-discovery of content-packs in well-known location /usr/share/kalite/preseed/contentpack-<version>.<lang>.zip, example: /usr/share/kalite/preseed/contentpack-0.17.en.zip. Happens during kalite.distributed.management.commands.setup.
  • Dev Test runner is now compatible with Selenium 3 and Firefox 50
  • Dev Test runner based on empty database instead of 92 MB English content, means tests are >30% faster.
  • Dev Circle CI now caches node build output between each test build, reduces test time by 2 minutes.
  • Dev Circle CI updated from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 + Python 2.7.11

Known issues

  • Windows needs at least Python 2.7.11. The Windows installer for KA Lite will install the latest version of Python. If you installed KA Lite in another way, and your Python installation is more than a year old, you probably have to upgrade Python - you can fetch the latest 2.7.12 version here.
  • Windows installer tray application option “Run on start” does not work, see learningequality/installers#106 (also contains a work-around)

  • Windows + IE9 One-Click device registration is broken. Work-around: Use a different browser or use manual device registration. #5409
  • Firefox 47 has misaligned subtitles in the video player. This is fixed by upgrading Firefox.

Note

Code and command cleanups listed below are harmless if you installed KA Lite using an installer and only relevant in these cases:

  • You run a specialized setup or deployment
  • Your deployment is 1½+ years old
  • You’re a KA Lite developer

Code cleanup

  • (List of removed commands)
  • Test coverage is now tracked by Codecov instead of mostly broken Coveralls.io #5301
  • Fixed unreliable BDD test #5270
  • Cleaned up deprecated settings CONTENT_DATA_PATH and CONTENT_DATA_URL #4813
  • kalitectl.py has been removed, instead we invoke kalite.__main__ from bin/kalite.
  • All files distributed as “data files” in /usr/share/kalite (or similar location) have been removed. Everything is now distributed as “package data”, meaning that several upgrade issues are fixed moving forwards.
  • The parts of kalite.testing application related to benchmarks have been unmaintained and are outdated. Now the application’s sole focus is utilities for CI.
  • The whole kalite.basetests application has been removed. It was used to do nonsensical tests of the host system, not actual unit or functional testing.
  • Both CONFIG_PACKAGE and local_settings raised an exception, all code pertaining these settings has been removed and settings code is now much more readable #5375
  • kalite.updates.management.commands.classes refactored so it doesn’t show up as a command classes (nb: it wasn’t a command!).
  • python-packages/fle_utils/build, unused build utility from 2013.
  • The manage.py script has been removed from the source tree (use bin/kalite manage <command> instead.)
  • When running KA Lite straight from source, we used some very legacy conventions for data locations. But you can achieve the same effect by specifying a non-default locations using the KALITE_HOME environment variable. Example: KALITE_HOME=/path/to/.kalite kalite start.
  • PyRun is no longer supported and has been removed (it was lacking multiprocessing).
  • Static files are only served by Django’s HTTP server in DEBUG=True mode. It was already handled by Cherrypy in other cases, and WSGI deployments are now required to implement this behavior.
  • We no longer release sdists (tar.gz) on PyPi, instead only .whl. #5299
  • Unfinished backup commands removed. It’s extremely easy to backup and restore (read: duplicate) a KA Lite setup, see Backing up data: is there any easy way to do it locally?.
  • Removed profiling via PROFILE=yes (broken since 0.16)

Debian/Ubuntu installer

  • Everything in the debconf regarding assessment items has been removed. This only has an effect if you had automated deployments. Instead of automating deployments and their content through debconf settings, use your own custom .kalite user data directory or invoke kalite manage retrievecontentpack. learningequality/installers#422
  • ka-lite-bundle now comes bundled with the English content pack learningequality/installers#422
  • No Python files (*.py) are placed in /usr/share/kalite.
  • Systemd support introduced, fixes specific bug on unupdated Raspbian Jesse learningequality/installers#422
  • Systemd support fixed and released in 0.17.0-0ubuntu2 build learningequality/installers#440

Mac installer

  • OSX 10.11 (El Capitan) + MacOS Sierra 10.12 are now supported.
  • User friendly warning message when port 8008 is occupied
  • Uses PEX instead of PyRun

Windows installer

  • Static data is now removed during uninstallation

Command cleanup

In 0.17, we cleaned up a lot of unused/broken/deprecated commands, #5211.

In case you are using any of them (we hope not), you will have to pay attention that the following management commands have been removed:

  • kalite manage gitmigrate

This does not affect the number of exercises and there are still 29,839 assessment items left, so it’s not a big concern! #5131

Known issues

Please note that issues with content packs are not related to the software itself but are being fixed and updated along side our release.

Watch individual issues on Github or dev@learningequality.org for announcements and updates.

  • Content packs ~1700 dubbed videos are missing in Non-English versions of the content packs, making the following languages have empty content databases: Burmese, Indonesian, Kannada, Swahili, Tamil, Xhosa, Zulu. These issues can be tracked in content-pack-maker#28. #5120

0.16.0

General

  • KA Lite is officially supported on OSX 10.11 (El Capitan).
  • We’ve revamped the language packs into a new format, called content packs. This results in significantly faster startup times across the board. .. WARNING:: You will have to redownload all your languages to fully support 0.16.
  • We introduced a new beta inline help system. Check this out by going to the Facility management page and clicking “Show me how!”
  • A lot of UI tweaks and bugfixes. KA Lite is now more stable than ever!

0.15.0

General

Python 2.6 is no longer supported. It may still work, but we are no longer actively supporting it. Other known issues:

  • The latest OSX version (EL Capitan) is not yet supported. KA Lite is officially supported on OS X 10.8 - 10.10.
  • On OSX, you must restart the server after downloading videos in order for them to be marked as available.
  • On all platforms, you must restart the server after downloading a language pack in order to use it.
  • You can no longer configure your server using local_settings.py. Instead, custom settings must appear in settings.py in the user’s .kalite directory.

0.14.0

General

Installation from source (using git) is no longer supported. If you have previously installed from source, in order to upgrade you must first install KA Lite again in a new location using one of the supported installers. Then you can migrate your database and content from your old installation to your new one using the command:

kalite manage setup --git-migrate=/path/to/your/old/installation/ka-lite

You must use the kalite command that comes with your new installation. The path you should specify is the base project directory – it should contain the kalite directory, which should in turn contain the database directory. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the migration. You should then no longer use the old installation, and should consider deleting it.

0.13.0

General

Interacting with the system through kalite/manage.py has now been deprecated. Please use the kalite executable under the bin/ folder. Run bin/kalite -h for more details.

If you are pulling the source from git, you will need to run the setup command to complete the upgrade. From the base directory run:

bin/kalite manage setup

On Windows, use the bin\windows\kalite.bat in the cmd.exe prompt:

bin\windows\kalite.bat manage setup

When you are asked whether or not to delete your database, you should choose to keep your database! You will also be prompted to download an assessment items package, or to specify the location if you have already downloaded it. If you wish to download the package and specify the location during the setup process:

  • Download the assessment items package here. Save it in the same folder as the setup script.
  • During the setup process you will see the prompt “Do you wish to download the assessment items package now?”. Type “no” and press enter to continue.
  • You will then see the prompt “Have you already downloaded the assessment items package?”. Type “yes” and press enter.
  • Finally, you will see a prompt that begins with “Please enter the filename of the assessment items package you have downloaded”. A recommened file may appear in parentheses – if this is the file you downloaded, then press enter. Otherwise, enter the name of the file you downloaded. (Absolute paths are okay, as are paths relative to the directory you are running the setup script from.)

Windows

Warning

Internet Explorer 8 is no longer supported in this version. Please use a newer browser, or stick to version 0.12 to maintain compatibility.

Raspberry Pi

If you’re updating a current Raspberry Pi installation, make sure to put this in your local_settings.py to avoid slow performance:

DO_NOT_RELOAD_CONTENT_CACHE_AT_STARTUP = True

Purging *pyc files

Previously, kalite would look for *pyc files every time it was launched, and that was quite a waste since its only useful when upgrading. In dev environments, we recommend that the developer keeps track of these issues on his/her own as with any other project.

Tips: http://blog.daniel-watkins.co.uk/2013/02/removing-pyc-files-coda.html

> Luckily, it’s pretty easy to fix this in git, using hooks, specifically the > post-checkout hook. To do that, add the following to .git/hooks/post-checkout, and make the file executable:

#!/bin/bash
find $(git rev-parse --show-cdup) -name "*.pyc" -delete

For the normal user, reset assured that the upgrade notes contain more info.

Which version can I upgrade from?

0.12

Changes in scripts/

The scripts/ directory now has everything OSX-specific in mac/ and Windows stuff in win/.

These scripts are intended to all deprecate sooner down the road as such platform-specific logic will be maintained in separate distribution projects.

Scripts have been modified to continue to work but you are encouraged to make your system setup only invoke the kalite in the bin/ directory.

Starting and stopping kalite

Starting and stopping kalite is now performed from the new command line interface kalite. Examples:

kalite start  # Starts the server
kalite stop  # Stops the server
kalite restart  # Restarts the server
kalite status  # Returns the current status of kalite, 0=stopped, 1=running
kalite manage  # A proxy for the manage.py command.
kalite manage shell  # Gives you a django shell
