Dear Members of the ILIAS-Community!
Apparently I'm not allowed to send this e-mail at multiple lists at the same time. To make sure you receive it, I'm resending it. I kindly ask you to excuse the inconvenience if you receive it multiple times.
The last Jour Fixe (JF) [1] decided to move the release of ILIAS 9 to march 2024. We have received multiple questions concerning the Feature Freeze for ILIAS 9 afterwards. These we want to answer:
* We hereby confirm the decision of the JF and the new schedule for ILIAS 9 as published in the ILIAS Docu Wiki [2].
* We again emphasize that the focus for everyone MUST be on a timely release of ILIAS 8 at the moment. Any further delay on this release will put the timeline for ILIAS 9 in danger. This we can absolutely not afford. Please make sure to leave the developers as much time to get ILIAS 8 ready as they need. Avoid feature workshops as much as possible. We will not compromise on the 98% goal for passed tests.
* We will reopen the Feature Wiki for new Requests for ILIAS 9. For the discussion of Features at the Jour Fixe:
* We will prioritize components with more than 90% passed tests. If you want to propose a feature for a component not matching this criterion, you may consider offering help to the corresponding tester or the test-coordinator.
* We will prioritize feature request focussed on abandoning functionality.
* We will prioritize feature request focussed on clarifying and simplifying existing functionality.
* We will prioritize requests brought up in the framework of the "Large Developments".
* We will keep an especially close eye on proposals for new functionality in components with a lot of unfixed issues. We will veto developments that introduce functionallity we don't believe we can maintain.
* We will have another Large Development Jour Fixe once ILIAS 8 is out of beta. We will not add new projects to the list, but try to confirm the existing projects and check for progress therein.
The development of ILIAS 8 generated huge gains in code quality and a general modernization of the code base. But it has also shown us once more that we are in over our heads when it comes to the size of our code base. We are very weary of putting this progress into risk and it is very important to us to continue with the current improvement path.
Thank you for all the great work, looking forward to moving ILIAS forward together, and all the best,
Matthias Kunkel and the Technical Board of the ILIAS Society

Dear list members,
due to the change of the ILIAS 9 release schedule[1], the Technical
Board decided that ILIAS 9 will support[2] PHP 8.1 and PHP 8.2. The
support for PHP 8.0 will be dropped. This allows our developers to write
modern and sustainable code and to stay current with the accelerated
release policy of the PHP project.
We are aware that changing PHP versions at such a pace is a new and
exciting development and imposing challenges for many developers (and
administrators), but in order to keep the code of ILIAS in a state,
where it does not silently degrade, we see no other option but following
the lead of the programming language.
If there is anything we can do to help you here or if you have any
suggestions, feel free to contact us, as always.
Best regards
Michael

Hallo zusammen
Am 11. August findet von 14:15 – 15:45 Uhr ein Workshop statt, um folgendes Feature gemeinsam zu konkretisieren: https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_wiki_wpage_6387_1357.html
In einem ersten Teil (14:15 – 14:45) möchten wir mit den ILIAS Anwendern und Anwenderinnen die Anforderungen aufnehmen, die Institutionen bezüglich des Datei-Uploads und der Begrenzung pro Rolle / Komponente / Anwendungsfall haben.
Die Umsetzung wird später alle Komponenten und damit deren Maintainer betreffen, die einen Datei-Upload implementiert haben. Daher möchten wir in einem zweiten Teil (14:45 – 15:45) mit den betroffenen Maintainern Lösungsansätze besprechen.
Wir laden euch herzlich ein an diesem Workshop teilzunehmen und freuen uns, wenn ihr euch über die entsprechende Sitzung anmeldet: https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_sess_11732.html
Der Workshop wird in folgendem BBB Raum des Vereins stattfinden: https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_xmvc_9523.html
Der Workshop findet auf Deutsch statt.
Viele Grüsse und bis ganz bald

Hello all
On 11 August from 14:15 - 15:45 a workshop will take place to jointly concretise the following feature: https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_wiki_wpage_6387_1357.html
In the first part (14:15 - 14:45) we would like to discuss with the ILIAS users the requirements that institutions have regarding the file upload and the limitation per role / component / use case.
The implementation will later affect all components and thus their maintainers that have implemented a file upload. Therefore, we would like to discuss possible solutions with the affected maintainers in a second part (14:45 - 15:45).
We cordially invite you to participate in this workshop and would be pleased if you register via the corresponding session: https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_sess_11732.html.
The workshop will take place in the following BBB room: https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_xmvc_9523.html
The workshop will be held in German.
Many greetings and see you soon
Fabian & Katharina

Dear list members,
we would kindly ask you to use "8.0 Alpha" as product version when
reporting issues for ILIAS 8 in the alpha phase (means: now).
Unfortunately the availability of a configured version in Mantis cannot
be differentiated between product version and target version. The "8.0
Beta1" version should only be used as >target< version and could be used
as >product< version once the beta has been released.
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Michael
