TL;DR; Summary by Kiril

We've created a new version for the course for level 1.5. We've started reworking the subscription process to make it easier for teachers to subscribe students to the platform. It will be possible to have the teacher buy as much students subscriptions as he wants.

[Content-Creation-2.0, Bug] Duplicating a course section reorders NRC and tasks

Duplicating a course section sometimes reordered the content in it. This no longer happens.

[Content-Creation-2.0, Bug] Fix embed view in course section edit page

Course sections' edit page's "Embed View" button wasn't working. Now it is fixed.

[Groups-1.1] When replying to group email, the reply should go to all group coordinators.

When an email is sent to the user that he is added to a group, now there is a ReplyTo set to the email. This means that replying to the email will now reply to the group's coordinators.

[MGE-1.0] When registering a user by yourself on a MGE page, there shouldn't be a generate password button and the password field should be of type "password"

There was a broken "Generate password" button when a user is creating a registration from the MGE page. Also, the password fields there were showing the password as text, which wasn't supposed to happen.

[Subscriptions-1.1] Remove subscription users management from the Subscriptions Edit Page

Although there is a "Subscription Users" page where you can manage the users of a subscription, admins could still do it through the subscription's form. This is now removed and it all happens through the "Subscription Users" page.

[Subscriptions-1.1] Deprecate subscription method in User. The user could have more than one subscription

The User#subscription method was removed. It was misleading, because users can have many subscriptions.

For example, the admins' users page now shows the user's subscriptions in the following way: users' subscriptions. The table cell contains a list of the users' subscriptions and the tick or the cross next to the subscription shows if it is active.

[Subscriptions-1.1] Remove Teachers options from SubscriptionsUsers

There is no longer a teacher user type for users in a subscription. All ex-teachers are now in a new subscription that is a teacher subscription and has the same access as the old teacher role.

[Subscriptions-1.1] Sort subscriptions in Users page by created_at DESC

The /users admin page now shows the subscriptions of a user sorted in a descending order by the date and time at which they were created.

[Subscriptions-1.1] When changing the ownership of the account a new welcome mail is not sent to the new email

Fixed a bug where the email displayed on the groupusers table, on the group supervise page, for a user who was just created and his password was set would be the email of the user who created him even after the new email was confirmed. Also rearanged the emailtemplate text so the confirmation instructions and the user credentials are the first things you read in it.

Made it so when an account is transferred, the user will get a digest for the default courses he's enrolled in when the user was created.
