  • 5.0.9 is scheduled for January 2016
  • 4.4.14 is not scheduled yet

We went through Mantis and had a overlook about all open issues reported or modified since the last Jour Fixe. All issues were screened and assigned to the responsible developers. We discussed in detail:

  • Mantis 17672 : Alexandra will provide a better wording.
  • Mantis 16657 : Current behaviour is accepted for 5.1 (course online after import). But we strongly recommend to create a guideline and to discuss this issue together with 'Streamlining the copy process in general'.
  • Mantis 17747 : Search filter changes after returning from a shared resource - bug or feature? – We follow Fabian's suggestion and would like to have a behaviour where filter are kept exactly like they have been set the user (and not extended automatically by ILIAS). In case of calling a screen by a goto link, there should be no Back button.
  • Mantis 17696 - Notice about new users online appears much too long : We highly appreciate Michael's suggestion and would like to introduce his combined TTL + TTS solution. TTL should be 30 min. and TTS should be 5 sec.

Open Pull Requests

  • none

Continuous Integration

  • No changes / no progression:
    • 129 CI test cases failed
    • 413 CI test cases passed

3 Publishing ILIAS 5.1

3.1 Development Issues 5.1

  • Marko Glaubitz would highly appreciate if Newsitems for Blog will be implemented as a usability fix for 5.1. But we are short before publishing 5.1.0 and do not consider this missing function as a serious lack of usability. Both blog and course / group object are usable.
  • Call for opinions regarding some special situation with Auto-fill for Course waiting list : Has to be postponed to next Jour Fixe when maintainer attends the meeting (Stefan Meyer).
  • Issues to support AICC: Mantis 17780 : Facing the timeline for 5.1 we can only declare AICC and HACP as deprecated features for 5.1 and remove the option to create new AICC modules and clean the language files. JAVA RTE and all AICC related code can be removed for 5.2 (straight after the trunk is open again for development).
  • Mantis 17738 - Modal "Entscheidung über Antworten" taucht bei jedem Klick auf "Weiter" auf : We discussed the navigation of the current impementation with Sven Slotosch (SIG E-Assessment) and Björn Heyser (maintainer) and decided to keep the behaviour as it is now. Otherwise we need additional time for a modified implementation, tests and discussion and have to postpone the stable release.

5 Collecting Requests for ILIAS 5.2

5.1 Feature Requests To Decide Upon

The following features have been set on the agenda to be discussed and to force their scheduling for version 5.2:

  1. DataCollection: Adding Plugin-Slot for Field-Types & Event-Hooks : Highly appreciated and scheduled for 5.2.
  2. DataCollection: Confirmation before saving entries : Highly appreciated and scheduled for 5.2.
  3. DataCollection: Introducing a moderator-permission : Highly appreciated and scheduled for 5.2. Wording of permission ("moderating") might still be discussed ("Edit Content"?)
  4. DataCollection: Add filetype-filter-option to file-upload-fields : Highly appreciated and scheduled for 5.2.
  5. ilPDO We discussed the concept for introducing ilPDO and patching or refactoring the authentication. But because several component maintainers were not attending the meeting, we decided to postpone a decision to January 18, 2016. We please all component maintainers to read this suggestion and to add comments to this page.
  6. Multiple Accounts for a User : We generally appreciate the suggestion but ask for a feedback from the user service maintainer Stefan Meyer before scheduling the feature.
  7. Introducing Transfer-Service : We appreciate the introduction of this new service and schedule it for 5.1. Please contact the related component maintainer and deliver necessary methods and interfaces so that they can implement this service in their components for transfering the requested user data.
