Dear ILIAS administrators,
Over two and a half years after having published the first stable release of ILIAS 5.1, the end of maintenance of this version of ILIAS is just around the corner. ILIAS 5.1.28 announced for August 01, 2018 will be the last maintained ILIAS release of version 5.1. There are no additional releases planned. Additionally, ILIAS maintainers do not need to fix 5.1 related bugs after August 01. Of course, bug fixing of all issues in 5.2 and 5.3 will be continued.
We recommend to migrate your existing 5.1 installations to 5.3 as soon as possible. If you are not able to change to a maintained version of ILIAS, please feel free to contract a service provider that merges ILIAS bug fixes into your 5.1 installation. Please note that the test installation for 5.1 will also be shut down with the end of lifetime of ILIAS 5.1.
For more information please contact the product manager at info(a)ilias.de <mailto:info@ilias.de>.
Kind regards,
Matthias Kunkel

Dear ILIAS Admins,
we would like to provide more information on how to securely set up an
ILIAS server as part of our Installation Instructions[1] for everyone.
The instructions already contain a chapter on Hardening and Security
Guidance[2]. We are asking for your help to extend this chapter with
more important information about a secure ILIAS server configuration.
Please do so by providing a Pull Request[3] against our ILIAS trunk. If
you are unsure how to create a pull request or if you have any related
questions or ideas, do not hesitate to contact the us directly via
e-mail at tb(a)lists.ilias.de.
Thank you for your help
