Important!

A+

• Requires courses to be built with the new a-plus-rst-tools v2.0.0.

• Due to updates to python-grader-utils, course staff needs to update the grade-python container image in each exercise that uses python-grader-utils, to one of the versions listed below, depending on which flavour is being used.

  If the grading command (see example below) is not graderutils, i.e., python-grader-utils is not used, changes are not needed, but the image can still be updated if desirable.

  New container images:

    3.13-5.0-4.13
    math-3.13-5.0-4.13
    rdf-3.13-5.0-4.13
    xls-3.13-5.0-4.13
    y2-3.13-5.0-4.13
    ml-3.13-5.0-4.13
    ply-3.13-5.0-4.13
    jupyter-3.13-5.0-4.13
    smt-3.13-5.0-4.13
    mec-3.13-5.0-4.13
    psql-3.13-5.0-4.13
    comp-3.13-5.0-4.13
  

  Example of an outdated config.yaml that needs to be updated:

    container:
        image: apluslms/grade-python:3.9-4.5-4.3
        mount: exercises/1
        cmd: graderutils
  

  Updated config.yaml:

    container:
        image: apluslms/grade-python:3.13-5.0-4.13
        mount: exercises/1
        cmd: graderutils
  

• In order to test a course locally, update the plus and grader services’ container images to the latest version in docker-compose.yml:

    plus:
        image: apluslms/run-aplus-front:1.30
    ...
    grader:
        image: apluslms/run-mooc-grader:1.30
  

• Dark theme specific custom CSS styles can be added by using, e.g.:

    [data-bs-theme=dark] h2 {
        color: white;
    }
  

a-plus-rst-tools

• For older A+ versions (<=1.29), Bootstrap 3 backwards compatibility can be toggled with the following conf.py setting:

    html_theme = 'aplus_bs3'
