Hi all,
I am excited to announce that the nbgrader v0.5.0 has been released! You
can install it via pip:
pip install -U nbgrader
And very shortly the conda package will be available on conda-forge as well.
nbgrader version 0.5.0 is another very large release with some very
exciting new features! The highlights include:
- The formgrader is now an extension to the notebook, rather than a
standalone service.
- The formgrader also includes functionality for running `nbgrader
assign`, `nbgrader release`, `nbgrader collect`, and `nbgrader autograde`
directly from the browser.
- A new command `nbgrader zip_collect`, which helps with collecting
assignment files downloaded from a LMS.
- Hidden test cases are now supported.
- A lot of functionality has moved into standalone objects that can be
called directly from Python, as well as a high-level Python API in
`nbgrader.apps.NbGraderAPI` (see
http://nbgrader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/high_level_api.html ).
- A new **Validate** notebook extension, which allows students to
validate an assignment notebook from the notebook itself (this is
equivalent functionality to the "Validate" button in the Assignment List
extension, but without requiring students to be using the Assignment List).
- A new command `nbgrader db upgrade`, which allows you to migrate your
nbgrader database to the latest version without having to manually execute
SQL commands.
- New cells when using the Create Assignment extension will
automatically given randomly generated ids, so you don't have to set them
yourself.
- You can assign extra credit when using the formgrader.
**Important**: Users updating from 0.4.x to 0.5.0 should be aware that they
will need to update their nbgrader database using `nbgrader db upgrade` and
will need to reinstall the nbgrader extensions (see
http://nbgrader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/installation.html ).
Additionally, the configuration necessary to use the formgrader with
JupyterHub has changed, though it is now much more straightforward (see
http://nbgrader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/jupyterhub_config.html
).
