Changes September 2026#

IT changes#

From the academic year 2025-2026 to 2026-2027 the following changes have been made:

  • Assignments in the workbook can now be downloaded as a zip

  • The FTP-server is no longer used for storing big files, instead we use Git LFS storage (see this page for more information)

  • A GitHub app is used to automatically merge changes to published versions and assignment and solution versions instead of a token on Tom’s account.

  • Py files are now also supported for the assignment and solution version generation (see this page for more information)

  • Assignment repos now share the same git history so that formatting changes can be made across all repos at once.

  • Assignment files no longer use HTML blocks

  • The book and workbook now allows for scheduling merging of pull requests.

Content changes#

  • Week 1 focusses on git.

  • Zheng Guan is now in charge of univariate distributions

  • An appendix is added to the textbook for prerequisite material. This replaces the fundamental concepts book.

Organizational changes#

  • Question hours in Q2 are no longer held.
