Release 7

Page Overview

[Hide]

The regular maintenance of ILIAS 7 has ended with release 7.30 after we have successfully published a first stable ILIAS 9 release.

As there is a need in the community to use a secure ILIAS 7 at least until end of the year, ILIAS service provider Databay AG will offer a ILIAS 7 LTS release when the regular end of lifetime of ILIAS 7 has come. This ILIAS 7 LTS release will mainly contain the security fixes that are made for ILIAS 8 and higher. It is intended to maintain this security branch until December 2024. The costs will be jointly financed in a funding pool by those who have the need. Users who also have the need to use it can contact info@databay.de.

The ILIAS society, its Technical Board and the Product Manager support the project and appreciate the joint solution for all users.
