Dear ILIAS developers,
We finally have completed coding ILIAS 7 and published a first beta release today. This allows us to start testing of ILIAS 7 on Monday, November 16, 2020. Thanks to all of you who contributed to this great piece of software.
Together with 7.0 beta1 we also created a „release_7" branch for ILIAS 7:https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/commits/release_7. As you know from past versions, this branch is only open for bug fixes. New features for ILIAS 8 have to be committed to trunk (which is now open for new features). But don’t forget to commit your ILIAS 7 bug fixes to trunk, too.
In case not all of your ILIAS 7 feature wiki pages have a completed documentation section (chap. 8) yet, please add the missing information and screenshots within the next days. It is a MUST to do this until Coding Completed, so please take this requirement seriously.
And last but not least: please check if your ILIAS 7 features appear on the release 7 page: https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_wiki_wpage_5956_1357.html. If not, you probably haven’t set the metadata correctly. The release 7 page lists only features with status „published in trunk“. All other statuses are ignored.
Thanks again for your contribution and support!
Kind regards,
Fabian
