The announcements editor was never ported to frontend-app-authoring, and the announcements display was never ported to frontend-app-learner-dashboard. This announcements feature is rarely used, undocumented, non-a11y-friendly, and there were no volunteers to port it to the new frontends. It is the last remaining part of the legacy Studio "Maintenance" dashboard. So, we are removing it. BREAKING CHANGE: This removes... * Studio Maintenance dashboard legacy frontend * Studio Edit Announcements legacy frontend * The snippet of legacy learner dashboard which renders announcements * openedx/features/announcements djangoapp * The ENABLE_ANNOUNCEMENTS feature flag Not removed: * The announcements_announcement table from openedx/features/announcements . The table is most likely very small, as it is only populated by administrators. Removing it would be more labor for us and more risk of toil for operators than is worthwhile.

openedx ------- This directory (openedx) should contain code that is used by both `LMS <https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/tree/master/lms>`_ and `CMS <https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/tree/master/cms>`_. If your code is specific to LMS or CMS, put it in those directories instead. Like openedx, the directory `common <https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/tree/master/common>`_ also contains code used by both LMS and CMS. At some point we'll merge the two. Lastly, the directory `xmodule <https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/tree/master/xmodule>`_ contains legacy core code, also used by both LMS and CMS. We're in the middle of a long process of phasing that code out. Don't add new code there.
