H5P.com infrastructure
Database upgrade
A database upgrade might lead to some write operations failing, but we expect less than 15 seconds of downtime.
Cache upgrade
An upgrade of one of the cache components used by the Live engagement tools. No downtime expected.
Performance improvement
Changed the way the H5P JavaScript and CSS is served. This should improve the performance when authoring and viewing H5P content.

Basic LTI 1.3 support
Basic LTI 1.3 is a feature that integrates H5P content with your learning management system (LMS) for easier access to H5P content and reports within the LMS.

Currently, this has only been tested in Canvas
