Tutor LMS lands its 4.0 rewrite and slips AI quiz-authoring into the box

wordpress-lmsquiz-authoringai-content-generationmonetizationaccessibilitymajor-version
◆Current state
Tutor LMS ships a real, detailed WordPress-LMS changelog, and the feed has been dominated by the 4.0 major line moving from beta through RC to the v4.0.2 stable maintenance release. The work spans a broad surface: quiz types, monetization (WooCommerce, PMPro, Paid Memberships Pro), accessibility, GDPR, and third-party compatibility (Google Classroom, WPML, SEO plugins). It reads as a platform consolidating a major version and immediately grinding down its bug tail.
◆Where it's heading
Two threads run through the 4.0 arc. One is breadth of assessment — a run of new quiz types (Graph, Puzzle, Ordering) and a Content Bank that now supports them all. The other is AI-assisted authoring: the beta introduced generating quiz questions via AI Studio, pointing the product toward AI-authored assessments rather than hand-built ones. Post-4.0, the cadence has shifted to stable-release fixes and small UX polish.
◆Prediction
Expect Tutor LMS to keep hardening 4.0 with point releases while expanding the AI Studio authoring surface — likely from quiz generation toward broader lesson and content generation — as the differentiator against other WordPress LMS plugins.

    Tutor LMS v4.0.2 — Vimeo private video, feedback links, 4.0 fixes

    The first stable-line maintenance drop after 4.0: hyperlinks in instructor feedback/notes, Vimeo unlisted/private video support, full lesson-name display, and a batch of fixes (forgot-password redirect, course deletion, locked-lesson access, sequential-mode progression). Incremental hardening of the shipped 4.0 release.

    Tutor LMS v4.0.0-RC.2 — dashboard polish and Google Classroom compat

    A late release candidate polishing the 4.0 dashboards: instructor header detail, page/meta titles for learning pages, a new empty-state student dashboard, Google Classroom compatibility, and accessibility passes. Pre-stable refinement rather than new capability.
