Dear list members,
the Technical Board would like to announce that we decided to add
CaptainHook[1] as Composer development dependency. We created a Pull
Request[2] for this long time ago and just merged it into trunk.
CaptainHook is a Git hook management library written in PHP. It enables
you to define a shared (amongst developers) Git hook configuration
(which is not possible with Git hooks because of security reasons) for
actions being executed locally on your machine. The configuration is
based on a JSON file located in the ILIAS root directory.
If you decide to install the hooks, the following actions will be
executed on pre-commit:
- PHP Linting
- php-cs-fixer (dryrun only)
The installation of the hooks is optional, so you are not forced to use
this tool. However we highly recommend to install the hooks, so PHP
linting and PSR-2 checks could be checked/performed before you push your
files to our GitHub repository.
Please read the ILIAS documentation[3] or the CaptainHook
documentation[4] for details.
If you have any further question, don't hesitate to contact me.
Best regards
Michael Jansen

Dear all,

Dear list members,
the Technical Board would like to announce that we decided to support
PHP 7.4 for ILIAS 6.
As mentioned on the 'Required and Supported for ILIAS 6' page [1] we
kept the option open to support the PHP 7.3 succesor with ILIAS 6. Since
at least end of November 2019 we all know that PHP 7.4 is the latest PHP
major release and successor of PHP 7.3. Because the popular operating
systems (like Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) are shipped with PHP 7.4, we hereby
would like to officially state that ILIAS 6 supports PHP 7.4, too. All
of our unit tests are already successfully executed in a TravisCI PHP
7.4 build since last year.
We highly encourage all component maintainers to handle issues being
filed for ILIAS 6/PHP 7.4.
Have a look at our installation documentation [2] for further
information regarding supported software versions.
Best regards
