Today’s release includes the following updates:

sdk

  • The following were added to the SDK data module:
    • ChartSectionReview exposes reviewed chart section content (title and narrative), so plugins can reproduce these visit-summary sections as they appear in Canvas.
    • VisualExamFinding exposes visual exam findings (title, narrative, and a viewable image URL), so plugins can reproduce them as they appear in Canvas.
    • PluginCommand exposes registered custom command metadata (label, section, schema key), so plugins can read back custom command display details.
    • ContentType exposes Django content type IDs, so plugins can work with generic relations and permalinks.
  • The canvas CLI now validates plugins before deploy — a static manifest layout check and a sandbox-load that imports every handler the way the runner will — so problems are reported right in your terminal at deploy time instead of having to watch the instance logs for errors after install. (requires Canvas CLI 0.167.0 or newer)
