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

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

Dear developers,
I merged https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/pull/2667 yesterday.
Please migrate your JS libs to npm. The are already included in
node_modules (you may switch to other versions). The remaining steps are:
- Modify your PHP code to include the npm path instead of the bower path.
- call > bower uninstall <your lib>
- remove the lib from bower.json
- test
For some libs we don't have any volunteer for the migration yet, but I
think they fall into several maintainerships:
1. query-ui-touch-punch-fix
Michael, this is being used in the onscreen chat (and in the t&a).
2. bootstrap-datetimepicker
Stefan, this is being used in Services/Calendar.
3. jquery-dragster
Timon, Fabian, this is being used in the KS Dropzone element.
4. jquery-mousewheel
Fabian, this is being used in Services/Preview.
5. nestable2
Michael, this is being used in ilMultipleNestedOrderingElementsInputGUI
which has been originally developed by Nadia as far as I can see.
6. pouchdb
Uwe, this is being used in the SCORM module only.
Please take care of these libs. It usually just takes only a few minutes
to change the paths and do a quick check.
Best regards
Alex

Dear all,
We are very happy to announce that the first stable release of our new
ILIAS version 6 has been published today. You find release 6.0 at
https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/releases/tag/v6.0
<https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/releases/tag/v6.0>
Thanks to all developers, funding partners and supporters for their
contributions and support. Over 100 new or extended features have been
implemented – and some have also been removed. Have a look at the
release page of ILIAS 6 to get an impression of what has changed:
https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_wiki_wpage_5457_1357.html
ILIAS 6 comes also with a revised page layout. If you have customised
the layout of your ILIAS installation you have to adapt it to the new look.
And don’t miss the list of required software for ILIAS 6 to be sure that
this new ILIAS version is running properly on your server:
