Dear colleagues,
the Technical Board kindly asks each of you to have a look into the dependencies that you have introduced to ILIAS. Please update your dependencies in the trunk to a current version and replace or remove dependencies that are not maintained anymore. When doing so, please follow the procedures [1] we have agreed on to handle dependencies.
Make sure to understand, that outdated dependencies represent a substantial risk to the security of the application, as well as a risk for the functionality in ILIAS that requires these dependencies. This is why we need to update or replace our dependencies periodically. Fabian Wolf updates the composer dependencies to current patch or bugfix versions when releasing [2], but this does not cover javascript dependencies, unmaintained dependencies or updates to new major versions of composer libraries. In these cases, we need you to manually update and test the results.
If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the Technical Board at tb(a)lists.ilias.de or raise them on the Jour Fixe.
Thanks and best regards!

Dear Developer,
As you may have heard I took over the maintenance of the UICore service and
therefore ilCtrl as well. I am aware of an issue in trunk, where ILIAS
cannot be used when clean-installed due to ilCtrl. As far as I know, thats
in most of the cases because of a missing `@ilCtrl_isCalledBy` for the
`ilStartUpGUI`.
As I am am currently refactoring the existing ilCtrl class and modify it's
storage of the call structure, I will release a version for trunk where
this will be fixed.
Unfortunately I have to take absence until the 20th of September and will
not be able to finish it before, therefore the version will rollout
somewhere at the end of September. In the meantime Fabian Schmid as the 2nd
maintainer will be there to assist with critical Bugs until my return.
Thanks for your understanding.
Kind regards,

Dear colleagues
I merged the PHP8 revision of service/database into trunk yesterday, please note that this may cause "error messages" in your components. The component now has strict_types=1 and is much stricter in handling parameters as a result.
I have adjusted failing unit tests.
Installing and updating an ILIAS installation should work.
Generating a DB template may not work yet.
Best regards
Fabian
