Download & Releases
5.1.21 (stable)
Release 5.1.21 has been published on October 13, 2017
Instructions for updating ILIAS can be found in section 3 of the general installation instructions. For major updates (e.g. 4.4.x -> 5.0.x) the safest proceeding is, to upgrade a copy of your productive system first and test whether everything works ok. If you use a customized skin/style, please change the skin settings for root user and default of installation to ‘delos‘ before upgrading from a 4.x version to 5.1.x. Otherwise you may not login any more due to templates changes in 5.0 and 5.1.

Changed Behaviour
- MD5 as hashing algorithm for passwords has been abandoned, see: [[Abandon MD5 Password Encryption]]. This also affects the XML user import (see also: xml/ilias_user_5_1.dtd). Passwords have to be passed as plain text and will be bcrypt hashed during the import process.
