+=============================================
+Introducing edX as an LTI Tool Provider
+=============================================
+
+In a pilot implementation, the edX Edge site is now being used as a learning
+tool interoperability (LTI) tool provider. Course teams use this feature to
+present content from edX courses, including advanced problem types and videos,
+in their on-campus learning management systems. The "edX as an LTI Tool
+Provider" feature can make it easier for you to teach with, and students to
+learn from, the best materials available, regardless of platform.
+
+.. note:: Support for this feature is currently provisional. EdX is working 
+ with our early adopter partners to support further testing of this feature
+ with additional learning management systems.
+
+For more information, see `Using edX as an LTI Tool Provider`_ in the
+*Building and Running an edX Course* guide.
+
+
+=========
+Bug Fixes
+=========
+
+* In courses containing in-course reverification steps, learners on the
+  verified track who submitted photo IDs for an in-course reverification
+  checkpoint were incorrectly shown a message indicating that they had missed
+  the re-verification deadline. This issue has been resolved. Learners can
+  continue to check whether they satisfied the verification or credit
+  requirement on their **Progress** pages. A green checkmark appears next to the
+  verification requirement when submitted photos are approved by the
+  verification service. The verification process can take 24 hours or more.
+  (ECOM-2225)
+
+* In for-credit courses, credit-eligible assessments were listed on the
+  **Progress** page in the order that they were created. They are now sorted by
+  assessment due date. (ECOM-2118)
+
+* When learners select **Show Answer** for dropdown problems, the positioning of
+  the correct answer has been fixed so that it now displays in the same way as
+  it does for other problem types such as numerical input. (OSPR-794)
+
+* When learners select **Show Answer** for math expression input problems, the
+  answer display and the loading animation have been improved. (OSPR-808)
+
+
+===========================
+Accessibility Improvements
+===========================
+
+Several accessibility-related changes were made in the LMS, Dashboard, and
+courseware templates to improve readability and navigability. (AC-155)

+Developers who are interested in extending Open edX Insights can now set up a
+separate development environment, the Open edX Analytics Developer stack, to
+support analytics development. This environment, known as the Analytics
+Devstack, includes the edX Analytics Data API and Open edX Insights, as well
+as all of the components needed to run the Open edX Analytics Pipeline.

+For more information, see `Installing the Open edX Analytics Developer Stack`_
