Changelog

unreleased

• grade-submission --attachment: the file is uploaded first and posted on the same comment as the message, so the student sees one comment with the file on it instead of the message followed by a second “Please see attached files.” comment. a failed upload now stops the command before the grade is posted

1.10.0 - 2026-09-22

• markdown rendering: -- and --- in prose become en and em dashes (python-markdown’s smarty extension with only smart_dashes on); quotes and ellipses are left as typed, and code spans and blocks are untouched

1.9.0 - 2026-09-15

• derive-assignment-score: parentheses in an assignment title now normalize to _ like spaces and math operators, so “Quiz for addem (in-lab)” can be referenced as Quiz_for_addem_in_lab. Previously the parens survived normalization into a name no formula could write, which also blocked the exact-match tiebreak for a title that is a prefix of another one
• discussions: upload-course-content --discussions can create graded discussions — new headers points, assignment_group, available, due, until (due-dates file date format), allow_rating, and only_graders_can_rate

1.8.0 - 2026-08-25

• pages: MODULE[Name] macros in page bodies resolve to the course’s module by that name at upload (as a markdown link target or href value), so pages can link modules without hardcoding course or module ids and stay portable across courses; unknown module names warn and leave the macro alone
• pages: template variable values are rendered as inline markdown, so header values can use links and emphasis instead of raw html

1.7.0 - 2026-08-25

• rubrics accepts an optional rubric name and displays that rubric’s criteria and ratings in an editable text format
• rubrics COURSE RUBRIC --update-with file updates the named rubric’s definition from the file, or creates the rubric if the course doesn’t have one by that name (which also copies a rubric between courses); without a rubric name --update-with applies rubric-to-assignment associations as before
• new how-to guide: manage rubrics

1.6.0 - 2026-08-21

• markdown to html conversion now supports fenced code blocks, tables, sane lists (adjacent ordered/unordered lists stay separate), and GFM-style line breaks (single newlines become <br>)

1.5.0 - 2026-08-12

• list-students --enrollments shows how each student is enrolled in the class (Student/TA/Instructor/etc), added as a tab-separated column with comma-separated roles

1.4.0 - 2026-08-12

• list-students --sections lists the sections each student is in, added as a tab-separated column with comma-separated section names

1.3.0 - 2026-07-31

• upload-course-content --pages now resolves images referenced with relative paths in page markdown: the image file is looked up relative to the page’s .md file, uploaded to the course files (reused if it is already there), and the img src is rewritten to the canvas file link. external and absolute srcs are left alone
• non-.md files in the pages/ directory are no longer parsed as pages, which also fixes a UnicodeDecodeError crash when an image sat next to a page

1.2.0 - 2026-07-28

• fix todo --remove failing to import on python 3.10 and 3.11: two f-strings in todo.py had a backslash inside the expression, which is only legal from 3.12 (pep 701). the whole package failed to import on those versions, so every command was affected, not just todo
• raise requires-python to >=3.10 (was >=3.7): click 8.2+ requires 3.10 and the test suite already targets its CliRunner api, so the old floor advertised support that pip could not actually resolve
• add package metadata that was missing from every release so far: project urls (source, changelog, issues), trove classifiers, keywords, and an spdx license field, so the pypi page links back to the repository
• add github actions ci: tests on python 3.10-3.14, plus a job that builds the wheel and installs it into a clean interpreter — the check that would have caught the 1.0.29 and 1.0.30 install failures before release
• add CONTRIBUTING.md and CONTRIBUTORS.md
• add docs/: a getting-started tutorial, how-to guides for due dates, assignment groups, course reuse, quiz settings and ignore patterns, explanations of the dry-run convention and of how courses are matched, and a command reference generated from --help and checked in ci so it cannot drift
• move the reference material that was in README.md into docs/, and rewrite the readme as a pitch with a runnable example above the install instructions
• add issue and pull request templates, including one asking people how they use canvas-sak — five years with zero issues tells us nothing about who depends on it
• add a dev container so contributors get a working environment in one click, built and tested in ci so it cannot rot
• fix upload-course-content --pages --force silently not updating existing pages: the canvas pages API ignores attributes not wrapped in wiki_page, so page edits now send wiki_page=...
• add styling support to upload-course-content pages: a template: header names an html template file (relative to --source) whose $body placeholder receives the rendered markdown; other $variables in the template become additional page header keys (empty if unset), so pages can share a hand-styled wrapper while keeping plain markdown sources

1.1.0 - 2026-07-10

• add settings-navigation command with list and update subcommands to view and manage a course’s navigation menu; update makes the given items visible (passed as arguments and/or piped on stdin) and hides the rest
• add --active/--inactive flag to upload-qti-quiz (defaults to active) so courses whose term has not started can be targeted with --inactive

1.0.30 - 2026-07-07

• relax all remaining exact dependency pins to >= floors so future python upgrades don’t break installation
• fix tests for click >= 8.2 (CliRunner no longer takes mix_stderr; stderr is captured separately by default)

1.0.29 - 2026-07-07

• relax lxml pin to >=4.9.3 so installation works on Python 3.13/3.14 (lxml 4.9.3 has no wheels for those versions and fails to build from source)
