No Jour Fixe at 09 June due to Pentecost.

2 Technical Board

This topic on our agenda should improve the information flow between the Technical Board and the society members and ILIAS users.

Meetings:

First in-person meeting @ Katho NRW - Aachen / June

Security-Updates:

Please remember that security issues need to be handed in as patches in the issue tracker. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Please make sure that they do not contain any unrelated changes to keep their footprint as small as possible.
See: https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/blob/trunk/docs/development/security.md#process-for-fixing-security-issues

Further:

Although Release 8.20 was not scheduled during the last Jour Fixe (see: JourFixe-2025-05-12), we published this release due to a recently fixed security issue.
The "Shepherd-PR" https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/pull/9403 should be integrated asap, as it adjusts a lot of Unit-Tests.

3 Miscellaneous

3.1 UI Clinic

Our UI/UX/A11y experts Yvonne Seiler, Kristina Auerswald and Kendra Grotz are offering bi-weekly UI clinic consultation hours for UI/UX and accessibility topics. The consultation hours are open for all users that need or are interested in related help for their ILIAS development activities. The UI Clinic consultation take place every Wednesday before the Jour Fixe from 10h30 to 11h30.

If you are interested in discussing an issue, please register here!.

3.2 Privacy Clinic

In the Privacy Clinic, you can get advice on how to protect user privacy and effectively navigate the complexities of data protection in the context of ILIAS. Our privacy experts Seidel, Elyesa [seidel], Gribchenko, Kseniia [ksgrie] and a member of the Technical Board are offerin support in all privacy related issues. The Privacy Clinic has consultation hours every Wednesday after the Jour Fixe from 13h30 to 14h00. Please announce the topic you want to discuss by e-mail: privacy@lists.ilias.de

3.3 Tutorial for Developers

We are looking for authors to complete our "Tutorial for ILIAS Developers". With this tutorial we would like to promote the transfer of know-how among ILIAS developers and, above all, reduce the hurdle for newcomers to ILIAS programming. Parts of the tutorial are already availble. But we need authors for special topics for which we have no competence in the ILIAS office. This is why we started a Call for Bids, see below.

Bids can be given for a single topic or for multiple texts. New deadline for bids is 16 June 2025. In case of questions, please contact Gruber, Ann-Christin [acgruber] for support.

BookingManager: Killing, Alexander [alex] would like to hand over all his authorities for this component to another developer.
CSS: Amstutz, Timon [amstutz] would like to hand over all his authorities for this component to another developer by the end of the year.
Rating: Killing, Alexander [alex] would like to hand over all his authorities for this component to another developer.
Tagging: Killing, Alexander [alex] would like to hand over all his authorities for this component to another developer.

Community members who are willing to take over one of the offered authorities are highly appreciated. In case of interest, please contact the Technical Board.

4 Maintained Versions

At the time being, we are maintaining ILIAS version 8 and ILIAS version 9.

4.1 Roadmap

LAST RELEASES

ILIAS 10.0_beta3 published on 17 February 2025
9.9 published on 20 May 2025
8.20 published on 22 May 2025

NEXT RELEASES

ILIAS 10.0 stable planned for end of May 2025
ILIAS 9.10 scheduled for 27 May 2025
ILIAS 8.21 not scheduled yet

8.18 was the last release of ILIAS 8 with all bugfixes. Since then, all releases for 8 contain only security bug fixes.

Lifecycles of maintained versions

ILIAS 8 : full maintenance ended at 31 DEC 2024, security bug fixes (only) until 31 DEC 2025.
ILIAS 9 : end of full maintenance at 31 DEC 2025, security bug fixes (only) until 30 JUN 2027.

4.2 Mantis Reports

Reports for ILIAS 8

With the end of full maintenance for ILIAS 8 at 31 December 2024, bugs that are not related to security won't be fixed anymore for ILIAS 8. This has some impact on our bug reporting process:

Please do no longer submit bug reports for ILIAS 8. Issues that appear in an ILIAS 8 installation should be reproduced on test9. If they appear there as well, they should be submitted for ILIAS 9. This will help to fix the problem in the only ILIAS version that is currently fully maintained.
Please report security issues in ILIAS 8 only to the security group (→ security@ilias.de). We have set up a ticket system for security related issues. Security bug fixes will be promptly published in upcoming ILIAS releases.
