Beyond the installation, there have of course been significant improvements to Open edX itself:

• There’s now finally a “Complete the course” button for learners to confirm if they’ve passed or completed a course.
• The LTI consumer XBlock can now expose content via LTI 1.3.
• And continuing the conversion to micro-frontends, more of them are enabled by default: notably, the ones that now render the account settings and checkout pages.

What does it mean for our personalized portals? https://code.greenhost.net/totem/meta/-/issues/376

The Learning MFE is not enabled by default, because theming and internationalizations support is incomplete. However, we expect that this is the last named release to support the Legacy courseware frontend.

First of all, thank you for using the term "personalized portals" :)

"Micro front-ends" in edX terms, means a JavaScript application that talks exclusively to the edX API. As I understand a few of them are currently bundled with Open edX. I've looked into if we could use the micro front-end framework for our personalized portals, but the framework is currently still a bit of a mystery to me. It's very poorly documented, something that Tutor developer Regis also brought up.

So long story short, at the moment it doesn't mean a lot for our personalized portals, but they could make our life easier when we want to talk to the edX API (which we do).

The sysadmin dashboard is no longer supported

Note that this is not /admin, but something else:

I think this is actually something you had with the RaccoonGang deployment. I never knew it wasn't a custom RG feature.
