Autolab v3.0.0

[Autolab Project]

Hi all!

We have released v3.0.0 for Autolab, which includes the following new features:

• Configuration of authentication, Github, SMTP moved to a UI page.
  • Autolab configuration should now be done through the UI instead of through environment variables. For new installs, please use the UI configuration. However, changes to Autolab configuration are backwards compatible, and should not affect existing deployments. 
  • For new installs, please note that documentation for SMTP configuration is still not 100% to date (see this issue for more context)
• Google OAuth can now be used as an authentication mechanism 
• Simple File Manager to manage files in courses through a UI
  • Simple File Manager allows for adding and removing files, but does not have the same recovery methods that a full-fledged file system has, so careful usage is recommended as recovery methods are being investigated

• Import / Export Course data in one go, with improved assessment importing
• Improvements to grading UI/UX such as an improved Gradebook, Code Diff Viewer, Starred Problems
• Improvements to autograding with direct Docker file uploading and the option to selectively disable network access. These updates require Tango to be updated as well.

Please view the full list of updates by visiting our releases page. This is a larger release, so if you run into any issues please submit an issue or send us a message on slack and we'll do our best to help!

Best,

Autolab Project Team
