Fixed

• The is_generation_enabled field of the credential eligibility endpoint is now based on the expires field of the periodic task, when it is set. The enabled flag is updated by Celery Beat (e.g., it disables expired and already executed one-off tasks), so it does not reliably reflect the intended configuration.

Changed

• The CredentialAdmin list view is now ordered by the created timestamp in descending order (most recent first).

Removed

• CredentialAdmin and CredentialConfigurationAdmin list views no longer allow filtering by the learning_context_key.

Added

• Credential eligibility check endpoint (GET /api/learning_credentials/v1/eligibility/<learning_context_key>/) with detailed progress information.

Changed

• Processor functions now return dict[int, dict[str, Any]] with detailed eligibility information instead of list[int] of eligible user IDs.

• Processor functions now accept an optional user_id parameter for single-user eligibility checks.

Added

• Credential validation and invalidation system with INVALIDATED status.

• verify_uuid field on credentials — a separate UUID used for third-party verification, distinct from the primary key.

• invalidated_at timestamp and invalidation_reason fields on the Credential model.

• learning_context_name cached field on credentials for use in validation display.

• Public API endpoint (/api/learning_credentials/v1/metadata/<uuid>/) to retrieve credential metadata by verification UUID.

• “Reissue credential” admin action that invalidates the current credential and generates a new one.

• {verify_uuid} placeholder support in PDF text elements.

• Admin test suite (test_admin.py) and included it in test coverage.

Changed

• Replaced user_id (IntegerField) with a user ForeignKey to the User model.

• Added configuration ForeignKey on Credential linking to CredentialConfiguration, replacing credential_type and learning_context_key lookups.

• Simplified generate_pdf_credential() signature to accept a Credential object instead of separate parameters.

• Changed the PDF output directory from hardcoded external_certificates/ to the configurable LEARNING_CREDENTIALS_OUTPUT_DIR setting.

• Credential issue date on PDFs now uses the credential’s creation date instead of the current time.

• get_localized_credential_date() now accepts an explicit datetime parameter.

• Disabled add and delete permissions for credentials in the Django admin.

Added

• New text_elements format for PDF credential generation with flexible text positioning and placeholder support.

• Support for custom text elements with {name}, {context_name}, and {issue_date} placeholders.

• Global defaults configuration for font, color, and character spacing.

Modified

• Migrated generator options from flat format (name_y, context_name_color, etc.) to structured text_elements format.

Added

• Support for defining the course name using the cert_name_long field (in Studio’s Advanced Settings).

• Support for specifying individual fonts for PDF text elements.

• Support for n in learning context names in PDF certificates.

• Options for uppercase name and issue date in PDF certificates.

• Option for defining character spacing for issue date in PDF certificates.

• Option for defining the horizontal offset of the issue date from its centered position (issue_date_x).

Modified

• Replaced template_two_lines with template_multiline.

Added

• REST API endpoint to check if credentials are configured for a learning context.
