v2.0.0 Alpha 2 Pre-release
Pre-release

This is an alpha release, not meant for production use, only for testing and contributing to the development of Chamilo 2.
Visual design is not final.
Database structure should be frozen until Chamilo 2.0 stable 🤞, so external developers are welcome to start contributing extensions to current feature set while using the existing database structure or adding to it through plugins.

The following is an automatically-generated changelog. For a slightly better human-readable changelog, please check public/documentation/changelog.html inside the package, or load "/documentation/changelog.html" in your browser once you have configured it.

Please refer to the install process in README.md (Chamilo's main project page on Github) for installing. This version still requires Redis (or similar) for sessions management.

v2.0.0 Alpha 1 Pre-release
Pre-release

This is an ALPHA release, meaning it is not finished and is meant for testing and development only. It should NOT be used in production unless you have a full-time dedicated IT team behind it.

An alpha version, to us, means that (except for unforeseen issues) the database structure is fixed and the files structure is fixed (although some files could still be added/removed before the beta release).

Chamilo 2.0 will be a major release, a new branch for the Chamilo software. It is based on Chamilo 1.11.10 and includes tons of backend changes that will make developing Chamilo more "mainstream" and (hopefully) faster in the future, by adopting more widely-known libraries, with the notable inclusions of Symfony as a main controller and framework (except for some legacy tools not yet converted), VueJS as our main frontend framework and TailwindCSS as our CSS framework.

For the first time in almost 15 years (since its launch in 2010), Chamilo considerably changes appearance, with a new, foldable, left menu (meant to improve space usage on mobile devices) and a streamlined (and open source) set of icons, and a design that will allow more flexibility and speed across devices.

Check the installation guide here: https://2.chamilo.org/documentation/installation_guide.html

Major changes in this alpha release:

Added

  • Web services: Added API Platform endpoint "/api". See wiki.
  • Messages: Messaging can now be made to several people at once from the messages interface (and replies can be made to the same users).
  • Messages: Added tag-based filtering your inbox/outbox.
  • Admin: Extra fields now have a description field, which allows you to show what you expect from users filling those.
  • CMS: Added CMS-type management of additional pages, including contact forms. A default install will add empty Home, FAQ, Demo and Contact pages)(16429423 - BT#20918).
  • Course homepage: Added possibility to re-order tools on course homepage.
  • Install: Added installation logs for better debug capabilities on install/migrations. Migrations can now be executed step by step if needed (f986f77d)
  • Admin: Added the roots of a role-based permissions system. Not functional yet but should be done by stable. Load through /permissions (not the definitive path) to get a sneak peak.
  • Calendar: Added collective events management in calendar (invite other users as participants to the event) [2021-07-14] (026d1163 - BT#18894)
  • Admin: Added pre-deletion of users as safeguard against user mistakes (7e917caf - GH#5097).
  • Admin: Privacy: Add auto-remove option to delete extra fields when anonymizing users (ff4ef19f - GH#5211).
  • Messages: Added search feature in message tool (2cf10c51 - BT#21705)
  • Announcement: Add event reminders to event created from announcement (b5e86d12 - BT#21582).
  • Admin: Added "News from Chamilo" and "Support" blocks (can be disabled) in the admin section. This will allow us to communicate with admins about updates, security updates and global events, between others, in a non-intrusive way.

Changed

  • Display: Completely changed the design (left menu, reduced top header) and icon set (harder to change but vectorial, color-editable and using one single open library: Material Design Icons).
  • Display: "My courses" and "My sessions" are now split into 2 different pages. If you only use one, only one appears, highly reducing confusion and increasing speed for portals with many courses/sessions.
  • Admin: All settings previously found in app/config/configuration.php have been moved to the platform settings interface or (for only a few ones) to .env in your Chamilo's root folder. There are now 720+ settings available to you through the admin interface. Not all settings are implemented yet. Most optional database changes related to those settings have been added to the database by default.
  • Install: Installation in sub-folders is not possible anymore. Using virtual hosts has become pain-free and cost-free compared to how it was 15 years ago. You will have to use vhosts or another LMS.
  • Install: When installing, you now need to point your DocumentRoot to the public/ directory, otherwise Chamilo will not work. However, .htaccess file support is now optional.
  • WYSIWYG: We have moved to TinyMCE (from CKEditor) due to CKEditor removing the possibility to edit HTML source (which we consider necessary) (53207cf9.
  • Language: Translations now use Gettext. New translation platform at translation.chamilo.org.
  • Internal: cidReq/sessionId/gidReq have been replaced by more sensible cid/sid/gid in URLs.
  • Internal: Documents are now referenced by id instead of path, which provides for more reliability.
  • Sessions: Sessions can now have multiple general coaches (including the possibility to have none).
  • Internal: Files management is now done through a wrapper and in a single writeable directory "var/" (will enable usage with cloud storage services in the future)
  • Database: All "name" fields have been renamed "title" for consistency across the system.
  • Install: Updated minimum PHP version required to PHP 8.2
  • Calendar: Merged all calendar tools (global, course and personal events) for mainstream management.
  • Messages: Message attachment are no longer replicated the number of times they are received (for example through an announcement). This saves considerable space on large portals.
  • Admin: Remove courses/sessions icons from users list (very seldom used). Cut e-mail address shorter and add icon for full e-mail info on hover.
  • Database: As much as possible, tables containing records of objects that had been previously deleted in Chamilo 1.* are migrated without such records. This means less "ghost" content, but also that the content deleted that way in Chamilo 1.* now has become completely unrecoverable.
  • Internal: Resources (documents, tests, forums, etc) are now global and fully shareable between course contexts, which will allow us (in future versions) to have a central repository of resources to search and share reusable items.
  • Quiz: Add new generated audio file link in exercise notifications (dcc44158 - BT#21575).
  • Plugins: xAPI: xAPI plugin and LRS tables integrated into core entities (37aede9d - GH#2001).
  • Global: Added 'duration' field to many item types (course, learning paths, tests, attendances, assignments, ...). This will enable better reporting when activities must be based on "estimated time of completion" rather than tracked time.
  • Admin: The Multi-URL feature is now enabled by default on the admin page.

Fixed

Known issues

  • Customizations of in-course tools (titles, icons, etc) at the course level are lost in migration.
  • Multi-URL does not work (fully) yet in this alpha release.
  • Wiki: The wiki tool is not available yet. It will be included again in future versions, but there were too many changes required to include it in v2.0.
  • Course chat: The course chat tool is not available yet. It will be included again in future versions, but there were too many changes required to include it in v2.0.
  • Plugins: Many plugins that seemed either unused or were not maintained by their maintainers were removed. They could be included again later on, and their tables have not been removed in the database if they had been installed in your 1.11.*, but they are not available in the list of plugins.
  • Plugins: Installing plugins is disabled in this alpha release. This should be fixed before beta 1.
  • Display: The Bootstrap (CSS) library has been removed. Some code might still use it. Should be fixed before stable.
  • Blogs: The blogs tool is not available. It might be included again in future versions, but there were too many changes required to include it in v2.0.
  • Dropbox: The dropbox tool is not available. It might be included again in future versions, but there were too many changes required to include it in v2.0.
  • Display: Upon migration, the stylesheets are reset to the default Chamilo stylesheet. You will have to redesign your stylesheets using the stylesheets tool in the admin UI.
  • Courses list: Removed the ability to sort your own courses in a s...

Chamilo 1.11.18

Chamilo 1.11.18 is a minor security and bug fix release on top of 1.11.16.

Some vulnerabilities have been reported to us (see our security page) and swiflty and safely fixed. We reiterate our thanks to all white hat hackers for working with us on making Chamilo the safest LMS ever. We actively encourage all Chamilo administrators to update their system to this version as soon as possible.

Notable new features

  • Assisted generation of exam questions by artificial intelligence systems (ChatGPT in this first iteration)
  • Comments, absence types, durations and signatures in attendances
  • Portfolio tool to be completed by students as evidence of their development
  • Wiki page categories
  • Much improved import from Moodle .mbz course exports
  • Increased support for xAPI
  • Support of LTI Provider mode
  • Stripe gateway added to sales plugin
  • Webinars allowed through Zoom plugin, schedule meetings in advance, attendance signatures and preparation for authentication method change in June
  • New question types
  • Option to "ping" connexion when taking a test to avoid disconnecting in the middle
    ... and about 150 more features (see https://11.chamilo.org/documentation/changelog.html for a complete list).

Some of these features might require activation through specific files and databases operations. Make sure you check main/install/configuration.dist.php for options or ask on https://forum.chamilo.org/ for details on how to enable them.

In the assets attached to this release, the default ones have been prepared to work with PHP 7.2 and above, while the ones marked -php74 have been specifically prepared to work on PHP no lower than 7.4.

Although we do not officially support PHP 8.0, 8.1 or 8.2 with the 1.11 branch of Chamilo, we tested it relatively thoroughly with the -php74 package and it worked well, to the minor exception of the edition of learning paths which is visually a bit broken.

We recommend using PHP 7.4 while we are running to deliver Chamilo 2.0 with full support for PHP 8.2 or superior.
