[Nithesh Hariharan]

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing well. We are happy to announce the release of v3.0.7 of Oppia!

There are quite a lot of changes, and improvements done on the website. Here are some of the new things that were released this time!

New splash and teach pages (Thanks Rituja and Akshay!)

You can visit the teach page at www.oppia.org/teach

Students can now not only listen to the exploration in their regional languages, but also play explorations in languages that it has been translated into! This is possible thanks to the changes by David Cheng! (The below screenshots are from a testing server)

This release also includes a lot of UI/UX fixes to the different editors and players. Many changes which are necessary for the python 3 migration (more of which will happen during the upcoming releases). There were also some improvements to our developer workflow.
