Dear ILIAS-Admins,
on April 1st the new releases for ILIAS 8 (8.19) and ILIAS 9 (9.8) were
published. The ILIAS 8 branch is a security-fixes only branch as
announced in:
https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/blob/trunk/docs/development/suppor…
In this ILIAS 8 release, however, a security bug introduced a severe new
usability bug in the Test & Assessment component. Thus, a fix for this
bug (https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=44772) was also introduced in
this branch after the release 8.19 tag. Please make sure to checkout the
latest commit on the release_8 branch in order to have a secure and
stable ILIAS 8 release.
Best regards
Rob Falkenstein
In the name of the Technical Board

Dear all,
As announced in today's JF, we would like to invite you to check out
PR9007 – Update ILIAS Installation Documentation
(https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/pull/9007).
With this PR, we're suggesting an update of the Installation Guide at
./docu/configuration/install.md. The new version aims to streamline the
steps needed to have a minimally functional ILIAS installation and
additionally provide information on creating a more secure environment
and more functions. This should make it easier to get started without
missing essential information.
Best regards,
Ann-Christin Gruber and Fabian Wolf
Hi all,
since we just stumbled over a very high webserver load during the start
of the semester on one of our platforms (ILIAS 8) I want to make sure
that you are aware of this issue:
If the notifications in "Administration -> Communication ->
Notifications" are enabled please make sure that your "Refreshinterval"
is big enough (a recommended value would be 60000 (which is 60s in ms)).
Otherwise you might receive a kind of ddos by your users' browsers if
the notifications route is not rate limited :-)
I hope that will help someone. Thanks @mjansen for the hint.
Best regards,
Rob
