  • ILIAS 9.18 published on 10 March 2026
  • ILIAS 9.17 published on 20 January 2026 was the last release of version 9 with all bugfixes. 
  • ILIAS 9.18 and higher only contain security bug fixes.

NEXT RELEASES

4.2 Mantis Reports

Needs Jour Fixe Decision

The following Mantis reports have been tagged with 'Needs Jour Fixe Decision' and were therefore be discussed in detail:

  • #47244: Access to test results is possible without the corresponding permission if the user has write permission: We clarified the relation of 'Edit Settings' and 'Test Results' permission in the current implementation. To solve the mentioned problem we accept to separate the access to all test result related information from the 'Edit Settings' permission. In the future, roles with 'Edit Settings' but without 'Manage Test Results' (new label) cannot see if a user has run, passed or failed a test. Nevertheless, 'Edit Settings' will allow to add users as participants to a test. Also manual scoring will require 'Manage Test Results'. 'Edit Settings' will no longer be sufficient.This requires a DB update step to change existing permissions to the new pattern. All users that had 'Edit Settings' in the past get 'Manage Test Results' automatically.Denis announced to clarify the related actions in an additional wiki page to document the changes. We will link to this page from the release notes, too.We accept the change for 10, 11 and trunk.

4.3 Mantis Statistic

Current information from Mantis:

The statistics show that bug fixing has been more intensive than usual in recent weeks. Many thanks to everyone who contributed. That's great !

                        * … Issues with status 'open' and 'fix.acc.prio.' are recorded.

To place the current data for each JourFixe in the context of a specific course of development, you can see the trend over the last months here.

4.4 Changed Behaviour in Maintained Versions

Below we list all changed behaviour in the full maintained ILIAS versions. This information is managed in a dedicated media pool to which all developers should have access. If not, please contact Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel].

Full Screen
  • Data Collection:
    • The new field type "Copy" was added to the data collection and can now be selected for new fields! A copy field shows a selection of values from another tables entry and copies those to its own value without a reference, making it robust against manipulation and deletion of the origin value.
  • Media objects:
    • We moved to native video tags which do not officially support srt files for subtitles. The supported standard is WebVTT. ILIAS tries to convert srt to vtt on the fly. You will be not able to upoad srt files anymore, please use vtt files instead, see https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=43935
  • Object:
    • Titles and Desciptions will always be interpreted as strings. Contained html-tags are encoded and shown in their literal form.
  • Test & Assessment:
    • Cloze questions do not offer the option to edit gaps in modals anymore. All gaps are available, as previously, underneath the cloze-text input field.
    • Redirect: Starting with Version 10.3, we introduce a separate option to redirect to the logout screen, as redirecting to https://instance.url/logout.php does not work anymore since ILIAS 10.1.
    • Create Export File with HTML Code: The JourFixe on 09 FEB 2026 decided to remove the setting "Export Essay Question with HTML code" from the Test & Assessment administration. Code was removed on 09 FEB 2026 from the release_10, release_11, and trunk branches. (ILIAS Version 10.6)
  • Mediacast:
  • Page Editor:
    • The owl carousel library has not been proposed for ILIAS 10 and thus is not part of it anymore (it was part of the legacy accordion UI element). The page component now implements a simple transisition between carousel pages.
  • Page Editor:
    • The legacy UI element advanced select input gui has been removed from the code. The editor now uses a standard select input in forms for these cases. These do not show advanced style visuals.

4.6.2 Looking for Shepherd

6.4 Pull Requests for Trunk / ILIAS 12

The following pull requests in the ILIAS repository on GitHub are related to the current development activities in trunk.

  • PR11392 • [FEATURE] Cron: Use "Component" mechanisms to gather and register jobs: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the PR for trunk / ILIAS 12. Nevertheless, we need to address the language handling problem of plugins / external components to load their language variables in the future. We should have a common workshop on this topic in the very near future.We ask all maintainers to have a look at this PR and give feedback or ask Michael in case of questions. Michael plans to merge the PR in the next six weeks.
  • PR • :

Postponed to next Jour Fixe

6.5 Dependencies in ILIAS 12

Process for the Jour Fixe on dependencies:

  • Please provide a separate PR for each dependency to be added until 9 days before the Jour Fixe. A template for the text of the PR is available as Github-Template. Please make sure you fill in all required information. You need to make the PRs against `composer_new.json` and `package_new.json` not against the production files.
  • Please do not forget to add the Tag "dependencies" to your PRs.
  • Please have a look at the proposed dependencies before the Jour Fixe. We will only look at those dependencies more closely about which questions are asked.
  • Be sure to be aware of significant changes in the maintenance of the dependencies you propose.
  • It is possible to propose dependencies later on, but in order to keep the trunk of ILIAS as functional as possible, we kindly ask you to go through all the dependencies you proposed for ILIAS 11.
  • The dependencies will be merged by the Technical Board.

The following pull requests have been set on the agenda to be discussed:

  1. PR11408 • Composer: Add friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer as development dependency
    • Dependency already used
    • Status of maintenance: The library is under active maintenance. Updates occur daily.
    • Used by: Used in CI and dev processes to check and correct coding style.
    • Decision: Dependency is accepted/rejected for ILIAS 12.
  2. PR11423 • add phpunit/phpunit as a development dependency
    • Dependency already used
    • Status of maintenance: well maintained with regular commits and lists about 900 million installs on packagist
    • Used by: The PHPUnit dependency is used to run unit tests.
    • Decision: Dependency is accepted for ILIAS 12.

In addition, Rob Falkenstein made a short presentation of a data collection to collect and document dependency requests as an alternative way for our dependency management. As example he showed the request for the dependency phpunit/phpunit. The aim of this approach is to reduce the workload for developers. Every developer is welcome to give feedback to this suggestion.

We urge all developers to announce the dependencies of their components for ILIAS 12 by PR by the next Jour Fixe on 12 January 2026 so that these can be decided upon in a timely manner. Thank you!

6.6 Deprecated for ILIAS 12

7 New Feature Requests for ILIAS

We do no longer schedule features for a selected ILIAS version but for trunk in general. Features that are accepted for trunk can be implemented for one of the upcoming ILIAS versions depending on the resources of the involved developers and the funding partners.

  1. Bibliographic List Item: Make URLs clickable: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the feature for trunk. As usual for external links, the click on the URL should open a new tab/window.

  2. Test: Abandon Gamification: We follow the authorities' suggestion and accept the request to abandon the gamification feature in the T&A. We ask all interested stakeholders that are using this feature to mention their interest in keeping this feature and to secure funding for an improvement and necessary refactoring of the feature. A final removal of the feature should be announced in the first JF in July 2026.
