    πŸ›  Chamilo 1.11.6 is a minor, bugfix release on top of 1.11.4.

    πŸš€ Release name

    PoznΓ‘n is a city on the Warta river in west-central Poland. It is best known for its renaissance Old Town and OstrΓ³w Tumski Cathedral. PoznaΕ„ is among the oldest and largest cities in Poland. It has often topped rankings as a city with very high quality of education and a very high standard of living.
