We've revised levels A1 and 1.0 with improved tasks, materails and tutorials. For Learn-at-home-2.0 we've created programs and tutorials for many of the 4 additional robots. There are 5 lessons available for summer camps.

On the Groups management in the platform we've made small improvements. Teachers could now generate passwords for the students.

[Content-Creation-2.0] Allow for 20MB files to be uploaded for content picture

Upload size limit for content pictures is now 20MB.

We talked why the NRC was broken. We must have a way to prevent this, but for now we must be cautious.

[Groups-1.0] Small UI Improvements

Several small improvements were made: - If the form for a new group is opened automatically on the groups index page, it is focused automatically. - In the form for a new group there is a link to the Markdown syntax. It is now opened in a new tab. - Group index table now changes its columns' widths automatically when the data in the table changes. - When inviting a group user to the group, the student name's field now appears before the username field. This makes more sense because the username is automatically generated from the student's name.

[Groups-1.0] Add more userdetails for coordinators

When supervising the group. You can see information about the phone number of the parent of the student and the name of the parent of the students.

[Groups-1.0] Allow teachers to generate a password for the student on the groups users add page

When adding a user to a group on the supervise group page, you can now press the "Generate password" button and generate a password automatically.

An info message about usernames has been added to the group supervise page when adding a new user.

[Groups-1.0] Clear up the terminology of enrollment, group user and starting a course book

"Enroll" is now the terminology used for groups- you enroll in a group or you get enrolled in a group. "Begin course" is the terminology for starting a course and "Withdraw from course" is the terminology used for when a user wants to leave a course.

[Groups-1.0] Send password to student when adding it to a group and setting its password

Made it so when a user invites a new user to the platform through the group supervise page and specifies the new users password, the password will be included in the email.

[Groups-1.0, i18n] When registering to a group an error occurred - "Email already belonged to another user"

Erorrs:

Грешка: Имейл already belongs to another user. Try to register another account for this email from the Dashboard. -> Is gone from the code. It does not occur no more.

Tried it today. It works. Considering it complete based on the other changes in the search.

[Search, Bug] Search for "camel" does not return result

Camel is now working. Correct material is returned.

[Subscriptions-1.1, Refactor] Remove owner method from subscription
