Open edX Ulmo Developer & Operator Release Notes

Open edX Ulmo Developer & Operator Release Notes#

These are the developer & operator release notes for the Ulmo release, the 21st community release of the Open edX Platform, spanning changes from April 25, 2025 to October 30, 2025. You can also review details about Open edX Platform Release Notes or learn more about the Open edX Platform.

To view the end-user facing docs, see the Open edX Ulmo Release - Product Release Notes.

Breaking Changes#

  • The VERIFY_STUDENT["STORAGE_CLASS"] configuration used for the _storage property in the SoftwareSecurePhotoVerification class is being deprecated in favor of the modern STORAGES dictionary introduced in Django 4.2.

    The updated implementation prioritizes the STORAGES["verify_student"] backend. If this is not defined, it falls back to the legacy VERIFY_STUDENT["STORAGE_CLASS"] configuration for backward compatibility.

    Breaking change: Previously, the legacy setting defaulted to storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage. Now, it defaults to the global default storage instead. See feat: deprecate get_storage_class in core/storage.py.

  • There is a change to the session_inactivity_timeout middleware. A new setting, SESSION_ACTIVITY_SAVE_DELAY_SECONDS, has been added with a default value of 15 minutes.

    This new setting modifies how the system handles the SessionInactivityTimeout. It prevents the session ID from changing with every request, which improves efficiency, while still correctly enforcing the session timeout. While this change resolves an existing issue, it’s considered a “breaking change” to highlight the fact that the default behavior of the application’s session middleware has been altered. The new default is a reasonable starting point, but it’s important for to be aware of the change.

    For more context fix!: session ID stability while maintaining inactivity timeout.

Deprecations & Removals#

  • newrelic as a baseline Python dependency in Django IDAs

    • Audience: Deployers who use New Relic for Python-based observability, or who have custom IDA code directly referencing the newrelic Python package.

    • Action: If you use New Relic from Python, ensure that you install the newrelic Python package, as it will no longer be installed by default.

    • Nothing else is changing with respect to New Relic support at this time; edx-django-utils continues to support New Relic telemetry (and even defaults to using it, if the package is present). For more context: [DEPR]: newrelic as baseline dependency in Django IDAs

  • The variable CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS_WITH_SCHEMES, added during the Django 3.2 to 4.2 upgrade, has been completely removed. Operators should replace any use of this setting with CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS.

  • The cs_comments_service has been archived, and all calls to it have been removed from edx-platform. The MongoDB backend for forums is still supported via the new forums app through the Ulmo release, so no forums data migration is required for this release, but it is highly advised. We will not support serving forums data from MongoDB in Verawood. For more operational and migration details, please see the Administration section of the forum repo README.

  • The PROFILE_IMAGE_BACKEND setting will be replaced with the profile_image storage class defined in the STORAGES setting. For Ulmo it will still fall back to the values set in the PROFILE_IMAGE_BACKEND setting but it is recommended that you migrate to the profile_image setting in STORAGES now that it available. The PROFILE_IMAGE_BACKEND setting could be dropped as early as Verawood. See feat!: upgrade code and fix get_storage_class.

  • The COURSE_METADATA_EXPORT_STORAGE setting will be replaced with the course_metadata_export storage class defined in the STORAGES setting. For Ulmo it will still fall back to the values set in the COURSE_METADATA_EXPORT_STORAGE setting but it is recommended that you migrate to the course_metadata_export setting in STORAGES now that it available. The COURSE_METADATA_EXPORT_STORAGE setting could be dropped as early as Verawood. See feat: removing get_storage_class from COURSE_METADATA_EXPORT_STORAGE.

  • The USER_TASKS_ARTIFACT_STORAGE setting is being deprecated in favor of the modern STORAGES dictionary introduced in Django 4.2.

    This update changes the logic to first look for a storage backend defined under STORAGES["user_task_artifacts"]. If not found, it will fall back to the previously supported USER_TASKS_ARTIFACT_STORAGE setting via the optional import_path parameter.

    It is recommended that you migrate to using the user_task_artifacts storage in the STORAGES dictionary. The legacy USER_TASKS_ARTIFACT_STORAGE setting may be removed as early as the Verawood release. See Fixing get_storage functionality as per new django52.

  • The SGA_STORAGE_SETTINGS configuration is being deprecated in favor of the modern STORAGES dictionary introduced in Django 4.2. This update prioritizes the STORAGES["sga_storage"] backend. If not defined, it falls back to the legacy SGA_STORAGE_SETTINGS for backward compatibility. It is recommended to migrate to the STORAGES -based configuration.

    Support for SGA_STORAGE_SETTINGS may be removed as early as the Verawood release. See feat!: Adding django52 support.

  • In Credentials, the DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE and STATICFILES_STORAGE settings are being deprecated in favor of the modern STORAGES dictionary introduced in Django 4.2.

  • The SEND_CATALOG_INFO setting has been removed. The behavior is now as if the settings is permanently set to True. See feat: Remove the SEND_CATALOG_INFO_SIGNAL toggle.

Aspects Analytics#

Upgrading to Aspects v2.5.1 will give you the latest Aspects functionality with Ulmo. See the upgrade instructions here: How-to Upgrade Aspects.

Then run this to update materialized views that have new/removed columns:

tutor local do dbt --only_changed False -c 'run --full-refresh --select dim_learner_last_response dim_problem_results problem_events dim_subsection_problem_results'

Administrators & Operators#

  • A new Catalog MFE is optionally available in Ulmo.1. See the Catalog release notes for more information about the catalog, and the Catalog README for information about how to enable this on your instance.

  • For Libraries, access control is now represented as explicit, library scoped roles that are evaluated through the AuthZ service. These roles are mapped to permission sets that control what users can do in a given library, centralizing how roles and permissions are defined, stored and enforced, while keeping behavior aligned with the previous release. See Roles and Permissions in Libraries for more information.

  • A getExternalLinkUrl function is provided in config.js which can be used to override default external links in MFEs. To make use of this function, provide an object that maps default links to custom links. This object should be added to the config object defined in the env.config.[js,jsx,ts,tsx], and must be named externalLinkUrlOverrides. See the frontend-platform README.

  • SAML Configuration Version Alignment Update

    A fix has been implemented to ensure that all SAML provider configurations always reference the latest version of the SAML configuration. Previously, some providers continued pointing to outdated versions after updates, causing inconsistencies. With this change, provider configurations will automatically align with the newest SAML configuration version, eliminating the need for manual updates and ensuring consistent authentication behavior.

    A new management command is included to verify alignment:

    ./manage.py lms saml --run-check

    Temporary feature toggle added: ENABLE_SAML_CONFIG_SIGNAL_HANDLERS must be enabled to activate this behavior.

    See: SAML PR1, SAML PR2, SAML PR3.
