1.7.0 is a major update to Education Edition that was released on November 2018. It notably includes Part II of Update Aquatic and improved in-game coding.[1][2]

Additions

Agent Improvements (based on community feedback)
  • /remove
    • Remove agents from the world
  • Players will be able to show the agent coordinates on the HUD
  • /summon agent now creates or teleports the executor’s agent to the executor.
  • New command selectors
    • @c to target the executor’s agent, @v to target all agents
    • Only players with the permission worldbuilders can target all agents. By default all users will have wordbuilder permissions set to false.
  • The usual type filters can also be used to target particular agents, so /tp @e[type=Agent,name=Steve.Agent] @s for instance would look through all entities for those of type agent whose name is Steve.Agent and teleport them to the executor. For more of a shorthand you could do /tp @v[name=Steve.Agent] @s to target a particular person's agent that's not your own
  • Added spawn eggs for agents
Library Beta
  • Allows players to view and download worlds in-game without having to go to our website. Players will see a new button on their home screen called "Library" which leads to a list of dynamically generated "must have" worlds
Mouse and Keyboard Heads-up-display (HUD)
  • Allow new players to learn the fundamentals of movement, breaking/placing, and more. These will be on by default for teachers and off by default for students and can be configured in the settings menu
Education Content in “How to Play
  • Education content added to the “How to Play” menu
Educator Resources
  • A button on the home screen (which will show for teachers only) that takes users to a new resource on our website designed to connect them with the latest and greatest training, lessons and community content

Changes

Coding
  • Code Builder can now be used in the game rather than via a separate app. Players will be able to launch code builder using C if you are using a mouse/keyboard or by pressing the agent icon next to pause/chat on the top center of the screen while on touch.
  • Code.org and Scratch will not be present at launch in-game, TBD on when they will be there. The Code Connection app can be still used to use these applications
  • Removed /code

Issues

  • Agent detect up/down does not work correctly with half blocks
  • All players will enter the world with world builder settings set to false. This is by design.
  • Exporting portfolio, clicking links on NPCs (and any change of focus to the game) will disconnect users connected to that session multiplayer **iPad-only**
  • No Music in iPad version
  • Only supported on Windows 10 1607 (RS1) and above. Windows 10 1511 (TH2) and below is not supported.
    • The prior version (1.4.0) is still usable on Windows 10 1511 (TH2). Note that multiplayer sessions will not work for players on different versions of Education Edition
