Congratulations to the BTR working group and everyone who contributed! πŸŽ‰ Apologies for the delay; I was out sick last week. A few final items remain, including pointing OPENEDX\_COMMON\_VERSION at the freshly tagged release/verawood.1 and compiling the v22 changelog. We will wrap those up and cut v22.0.0 tomorrow. Progress is tracked here: [Verawood Sandbox and Release Preparation Β· Issue #1370 Β· overhangio/tutor Β· GitHub](https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/issues/1370) ---
