What is Chamilo?
Chamilo is racing a Symfony/Vue 2.0 rewrite to GA while hardening the legacy 1.11 line.
Chamilo is running two tracks at once. The legacy 1.11.x line keeps shipping security and bugfix maintenance releases (1.11.38, 1.11.40), several addressing critical vulnerabilities. Meanwhile the 2.0 rewrite, a Symfony backend with a Vue frontend, is grinding through release candidates packed with plugin-system revival, LTI interoperability, ONLYOFFICE and H5P integrations, and a sweep of security fixes including removal of an eval()-based RCE.
What is Teachable?
Teachable spends the cycle hardening commerce and access control; Learning Paths the lone forward bet
Teachable's recent cadence is dominated by stabilization: enrollment access control, subscription billing, quiz scoring, catalog display, and commerce edge cases are all being corrected release after release. The net-new direction is Collections, which folds Bundles in with a new Learning Paths feature in limited beta, alongside a more personalized admin dashboard and mobile apps catching up to web.

Chamilo is racing a Symfony/Vue 2.0 rewrite to GA while hardening the legacy 1.11 line.
◆ Current state
Chamilo is running two tracks at once. The legacy 1.11.x line keeps shipping security and bugfix maintenance releases (1.11.38, 1.11.40), several addressing critical vulnerabilities. Meanwhile the 2.0 rewrite, a Symfony backend with a Vue frontend, is grinding through release candidates packed with plugin-system revival, LTI interoperability, ONLYOFFICE and H5P integrations, and a sweep of security fixes including removal of an eval()-based RCE.
◆ Where it's heading
The center of gravity is the 2.0 RC series marching toward a GA that has already slipped past its milestone date. Each RC both ports legacy tools to Vue and re-enables the plugin ecosystem (CardGame, BBB, BuyCourses, XApi, Tour) on the new architecture, suggesting GA-readiness is gated on plugin parity and migration fidelity rather than new features. The parallel 1.11 security cadence signals Chamilo intends to support the old line through the transition.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued 2.0 RCs focused on migration and plugin parity before a GA cut, with the 1.11 line receiving security-only releases in the interim. The volume of security fixes inside the RCs points to a hardening push as a GA gate.
Teachable

Teachable spends the cycle hardening commerce and access control; Learning Paths the lone forward bet
◆ Current state
Teachable's recent cadence is dominated by stabilization: enrollment access control, subscription billing, quiz scoring, catalog display, and commerce edge cases are all being corrected release after release. The net-new direction is Collections, which folds Bundles in with a new Learning Paths feature in limited beta, alongside a more personalized admin dashboard and mobile apps catching up to web.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is being hardened first and expanded second. The fix-heavy changelog reads as a deliberate reliability push, with Learning Paths the clearest signal of where new investment is aimed: structured, multi-course journeys layered on top of the existing course-and-bundle commerce engine.
◆ Prediction
Expect Learning Paths to graduate from limited beta toward general availability and dashboard personalization to deepen, while the steady stream of commerce and enrollment fixes continues.
