+New Features
+=============
+
+* **Improved import experience** (STUD-595)
+
+ When you import a course, the Import screen now provides real-time status updates. The Import screen tells you when the import is in the
+ following stages:
+ * Uploading
+ * Unpacking
+ * Verifying
+ * Updated Course
+ * Success (Complete)
+
+* **Improved drag and drop experience in course outlines** (STUD-575)
+
+ The ability to drag and drop sections, subsections, and units in the course outline is enhanced in the following ways:
+
+ * The visual representation of where you are moving the course element to is improved, with a pointer and blue line indicating the
+ new position.
+
+ * You can more easily drag units from one subsection to another.
+
+ * When you cancel a drop, the course element returns to its original position.
+
+ * You can no longer drag a course element below the New Unit button, which was causing confusion.
+
+* **Text customization capability**
+
+ You can now customize some of the UI text that your students see. You do this through the text_customization key in the Advanced
+ Settings for the course. (However, edX recommends that you contact your Program Manager before you modify the text_customization key.)
+
+* **JavaScript loading performance**
+
+ JavaScript loading is changed in ways that should improve the performance on some pages.
+ Code contributors should note that JavaScript is now loaded through require.js.
+
+
+
+==========================
+Changes and Updates
+==========================
+
+The following changes are included in this release:
+
+* In a course outline, you can no longer drag and drop a unit below the New Unit button. (STUD-152)
+
+* Course update content outside of HTML tags is no longer erroneously removed.(STUD-590)
+
+* In a course outline, dragging a unit over the Units label no longer causes the unit to be removed. (STUD-755)
+
+* Support text in the Assignment Types section of the Grading page is updated to clarify that you enter an integer, not a percent, in the W
+ eight of Total Grade field. (STUD-771)
+
+* Certain component errors no longer prevent the course from saving correctly. (STUD-786)
+
+* When you delete a Discussion component, the discussion is completely removed from the course. (STUD-811, STUD-817)
+
+* When you are editing a course update, the update no longer disappears if you click outside of the Edit window. (STUD-822)
+
+* When you enter the integer 7 in the Total Weight of Grade field, the value is no longer changed to a decimal. (STUD-826)

+
+ When you are playing a video with the transcript hidden, you can display the transcript by hovering the mouse pointer over the CC button.
+ You can then click a paragraph in the displayed transcript to move to that point in the video. When you move the pointer off the CC button,
+ the transcript is hidden.
+
+* **Improved Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)** (BLD-330, BLD-347)
+
+ You can now use multiple LTI tools per page. You can also have an LTI module load external content in a new window.

+New Features
+=============
+
+* **New video editing interface, enabling an enhanced workflow for adding timed transcripts to videos** (BLD-238)
+
+ When you enter a video URL in the Editing: Video dialog box, the system checks if a timed transcript for that video exists on edX, and if
+ so, automatically associates the transcript with the video. If no transcript is found, you click Upload New Timed Transcript to locate and
+ upload the .SRT file for the transcript.
+
+ When there is an associated timed transcript, you can click Download to Edit to download a local copy of the .SRT file. You can then
+ modify the transcript and upload the new file.
+
+ For YouTube videos, you can also import a timed transcript from YouTube, overwriting the version of the transcript on edX with the version
+ from YouTube.
+
+ Backwards compatibility with the other transcript workflow is maintained with a tabbed interface.
+
+====================================================
+Known Issues and Workarounds
+====================================================
+
+* **Uploading a large number of files** (STUD-813, STUD-837)
+
+ When you go to the Files & Uploads page, if your course has a large number of files, the Files & Uploads page can time out before it lists
+ all the files. The page becomes unresponsive, and you cannot upload more files.
+
+ **Workaround**: To upload new files files when the Files & Uploads page is timing out, limit the number of files that appear on the Files &
+ Uploads page by adding start and max parameters to the URL. For example, you can append the following parameters to the URL in your
+ browser:
+ `https://studio.edge.edx.org/assets/organization.course-number.course-name/branch/block/course-name?start=5&max=15`
+
+ This example tells the page to load a maximum of 10 files, starting with the 6th file. You can use other values as needed, as long as the list
+ is not so long that the page does not load successfully. Note that file counts begin at 0, not 1, and that files are listed chronologically, with
+ the most recent first.
+
+
+
+
+
+==========================
+Changes and Updates
+==========================
+
+The following changes are included in this release:
+
+* Because Course IDs are not case sensitive, all Course IDs must be unique regardless of capitalization. For example, you cannot have
+ both edX101 and EdX101 as course IDs. (STUD-873)

+
+* Keyboard navigation is now updated in the Wiki to skip repetitive content, allowing users to go directly to unique content on a page. (LMS-1387)
+
+* Errors that prevented the Progress page from successfully loading are fixed. (LMS-1388)
+
+* In the Sign Up page, the Public Display Name field was renamed to Public Username. (LMS-1393)
+
+* Errors when creating a new account are resolved. (LMS-1418)
+
+* A typo was removed from the course registration email template. (LMS-1419)

+
+* Students can now change the video speed when the video is paused. (BLD-424)

+* Several problems with the video player are resolved:
+ * The Start time did not work in Flash mode.
+ * Students could not change the speed before the video started.
+ * The end point in the video slider was inaccurate for short videos.
+ * The video slider showed the incorrect position after the video stopped. (BLD-468)
