Important Changes

  • Services/PDFGeneration
  • Plugins
    • Plugins which provide a configuration screen must add an explicit `ilCtrl` directive in the PHPDoc comments of the `il*ConfigGUI` class.
      • Example:
        • /**
           * @ilCtrl_IsCalledBy ilMyPluginConfigGUI: ilObjComponentSettingsGUI
           */
          class ilMyPluginConfigGUI extends ilPluginConfigGUI
          {
              // Code ...
          }
    • Many public methods of class `ilPluginAdmin` (often considered as public API of the component service in ILIAS by developers) were removed. The class itself is marked as deprecated and will be removed in future ILIAS releases. Plugin developers should use `ilComponentRepository` and `ilComponentFactory` instead. Implementations of these interfaces can be retrieved from the dependency injection container ($DIC["component.repository"] and $DIC["component.factory"]).
    • Please always execute a `composer du` command if you put a new plugin into the plugin directories in your filesystem or if you applied any changes to your `plugin.php`. Otherwise the plugin will not be listed in the global ILIAS plugin administration or may cause other problems.
  • Workflow Engine
    • Due to low demand and security issues, we removed the workflow engine with 7.23 and 8.3

Known Issues

  • none

Changed Behaviour

  • See changes concerning uploading ZIPs and unzipping here: Drag&Drop Files in Container Objects
  • The visibility of the user administration has been adjusted. For a read-only access, the permission "Read" and no longer "Read Access to User Accounts" is used. Mantis 37269
