Chamilo LMS v1.11.10 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-05-09 // almost 5 years ago

  • 🛠 Chamilo 1.11.10 is a minor bugfix release on top of 1.11.8. Contrary to previous releases, this one has a large number of security fixes. We strongly recommend you update to this version as soon as you can. We thank all who participated in this thorough security review over the last few months (these can be found on our security page).

    📦 We have made 4 different package versions available to benefit from slight optimizations in the PHP versions. Our website will only show the lowest denominator for each though (to simplify).

    • Packages with "-php5" are compiled for PHP 5.6. They will not work in PHP 5.5 or inferior, because these versions are not supported anymore. PHP 5.6 is not supported anymore by the PHP community (not even for security patches), so please do not use in production.
    • ⚡️ Packages with "-php7" are optimized for PHP 7.1 (and should work with 7.2 and 7.3, which is why we called it just "7"). They might give issues if used with PHP 7.0. PHP 7.0 is not supported anymore by the PHP community (not even for security patches), so please do not use in production.
    • ⚡️ Packages with "-php7.2" are optimized for PHP 7.2 and will only work with (you guessed it) PHP 7.2 or 7.3.
    • ⚡️ Packages with "-php7.3" are optimized for PHP 7.3 and will only work with PHP 7.3.

    🚀 Note: there is a slight mistake in the changelog.html file: the release tag is from May 9th instead of May 8th, but that has no relevant impact on anything.
