Release 3.6.8 has been released on November 27, 2006.

Release 3.6.8 is a bugfix release and does not contain new features compared to former 3.6 releases. Please read the 3.6.0 release report for information about major changes and new features.

Important note for Updates: Instructions for updating ILIAS can be found in section 3 of the general installation instructions. For major updates (e.g. 3.5.x -> 3.6.x) the safest proceeding is, to upgrade a copy of your productive system first and test whether everything works ok.
