Services/PDFGeneration
- Since the development for wkhtmltopdf has stopped and the consumer for the service are regressive, the jour Fixe decided to deprecate the PDFGeneration Service with ILIAS 8 and to remove this service with ILIAS 9
- https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_wiki_wpage_7795_1357.html
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"]).

New feature Direct Device Camera Upload of User Picture suffers from an iOS issue that prevents proper function on some iPhones. See Mantis 35063.

Abandoned Legacy Views in Mediacast: With the implementation of three dedicated presentation modes for videocasts, podcasts and image galleries in ILIAS 8, the legacy list and tile views have been abandoned.
- Notice: There is no automatic migration to the new views. You need to set a view manually. If you are using different media types in one mediacast, you need to create a copy and set appropriate views for each one separately.
