+
+The following information reflects what is new in the edX Platform as of July 30,
+2014. See previous pages in this document for a history of changes.
+
+****************************************
+edX Release Announcements Mailing List
+****************************************
+
+These edX Course Staff Release Notes are always available and are updated with
+each release of the edX Platform on `edx.org`_ and `edX Edge`_.
+
+You can also sign up for the `edX Release Announcements mailing list`_ to get
+an email message when we have updated the edX Course Staff Release Notes.
+
+***************************************
+edX Studio
+***************************************
+
+* In some versions of Internet Explorer, users could not edit plain HTML in HTML components. This problem has been fixed.
+
+* Problem components have a new **Correct or Past Due** setting. With this setting, course staff can configure a problem so that students can only see the answer if they have answered the problem correctly or the problem's due date has passed.
+
+***************************************
+edX Learning Management System
+***************************************
+   
+* The display name for an open response assessment now appears in the course ribbon. (ORA-51)
+
+***************************************
+edX Website
+***************************************
+
+* On the edX.org sign-up page, the **Public Username** field is now above the **Password** field. 
+
+* In the student dashboard, the appearance of the user profile area in the left pane has changed.
+
+  Former user profile area:

+
+
+**************************
+Coming Soon
+**************************
+
+We're pleased to announce two upcoming features that will release in the next few weeks:
+
+In Studio, new capabilities will make it easier for course authors to edit and publish content. We've simplified the publishing workflow and added clear indications to the UI so you'll know at a glance whether your content is published and released--and whether students can see it.
+
+* In addition to the existing Discussion post type, course discussions will soon include a new Question post type. Students and course teams will also be able to filter posts by unanswered questions.
+
+**************************
