Changelog & What's New

This page shows what has changed in the Techlogia learning platform (Lab) — new features, improvements and bug fixes. The latest version is at the top, so you can always see what changed for you, your class or your school.

Current version: v2.2.1

We use a running version number following the Major.Feature.Fix scheme (e.g. v2.1.0). The Techlogia app (iOS/Android) has its own version number, which you can find in the app store or in the app under Settings → About.

v2.2.1 — 22 July 2026

Fixed

  • The terminal now closes cleanly when your lab VM ends. Previously the terminal window could "freeze" when the VM was stopped in the background (e.g. when your session time ran out) — it would then stop responding for minutes. The connection is now detected and closed cleanly within a few seconds. Applies to the web terminal and the app.

v2.2.0 — 16 July 2026

New

  • The Techlogia Labs app is here! Now available for free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Continue running Linux VMs on the go, validate tasks right in the app, read lessons — with the same login as on the web, nothing to set up. The Android version is in the works.

Improved

  • New notice on smartphones: if you open the lab in a mobile browser, you now get a direct link to the app instead of the previous QR code pointing to the desktop. The desktop link remains available as an alternative.

v2.1.0 — 10 June 2026

New

  • Two-factor sign-in (2FA). You can now add an extra layer to your account with an authenticator app (e.g. Google/Microsoft Authenticator, Aegis, 1Password): after your password you enter a 6-digit code. Includes backup codes for emergencies. Set it up under Account security.
  • Passkeys. Sign in entirely without a password — via Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello or a security key. Phishing-resistant and convenient. Also set up under Account security, then use "Sign in with a passkey" on the login page.

For accounts using school login (EduPlaces) or a class code, sign-in security is handled by the school — there is nothing to set up here.

v2.0.0 — 9 June 2026

Big update: the Techlogia Lab becomes a full school learning platform. Alongside individual learning, schools can now organise their classes entirely through the Lab.

New

  • EduPlaces school login. Schools sign in with their existing EduPlaces school account — no separate password and no date-of-birth prompt. The first 14 days are free. Classes and students are imported automatically from EduPlaces. → School login guide
  • School admins can promote other teachers to school admin and share the administration across several people. The last remaining school admin is protected and cannot be removed by accident.
  • School admins can teach themselves — create their own classes, manage students and set homework, just like a teacher.
  • Extra sign-in security via email code. When you sign in from a new device, we send you a short code by email — protection without setting up a two-factor app.
  • Password check. Anonymously check whether a password appears in known data breaches. Your password never leaves your device in clear text.

Improved

  • Consistent mobile navigation — on phones the menu opens at the top via the menu icon, for learners, teachers and school admins alike.
  • Tidier account settings (account deletion in exactly one place).
  • New learning content around "learning Linux online" plus additional lesson pages in the Lab.
  • New maintenance page with automatic refresh and a contact option.

Fixed

  • General stability and security improvements.
