9.2 (stable)

Important Changes

• JavaScript Dependencies: Removal of 'node_modules' folder from Git repository
  • The 'npm' dependencies and thus the 'node_modules' folder in the ILIAS root directory was removed from the ILIAS codebase.
    
    All 'npm' dependencies will still be automatically added to the release builds (linked on the official ILIAS release pages) on GitHub.
    
    With this change 'npm' will become a requirement for ILIAS installations based on Git branches/tags. To install the 'npm' dependencies on such installations, you'll have to execute:
    
    npm clean-install --omit=dev --ignore-scripts
    
    The --omit=dev flag can be ignored for development installations. 
• Chat Server: Removal of 'node_modules' folder from Git repository
  • The 'npm' dependencies and thus the 'node_modules' folder of 'Modules/Chatroom/chat' was removed from the ILIAS codebase in Git with the integration of PR 5128.

  • Futhermore existing federations between ILIAS and SAML IPDs have to re-established due to necessary changes in the metadata XML file.
  • When installing the composer dependencies on an existing installation, it might occur that you receive an error caused by the simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp library.
