Ironwood.1 RC4

[Ned Batchelder]

Hi there,

The last release candidate of Ironwood is available: open-release/ironwood.1rc4. Ironwood is the next release of Open edX, and it's important that everyone test it.  I don't know of any changes that need to be made before Ironwood.1 is officially done.

This release candidate adds a feature flag to turn off using the LMS as the Studio login provider, if that was an issue for you.  Thanks to Felipe Montoya of eduNEXT for contributing it.

To install it on an Ubuntu 16.04 system, see the Native installation instructions, and use OPENEDX_RELEASE=open-release/ironwood.1rc4 .  These instructions have changed since Hawthorn, and even since the first release candidate of Ironwood, so please try them.  This is a test of the instructions and the code!

If you find a problem, or have a question, you can discuss it in the #ironwood-beta channel in Slack or report it in JIRA.  If you try Ironwood, and don't have any problems, it's really helpful to report that too :)

Thanks, your feedback is really important.
