eXeLearning rebuilds on Bun and Elysia as 4.0 marches toward release.
◆ Current state
eXeLearning, the open-source learning-content authoring tool, is finishing its 4.0 cycle — a ground-up backend rewrite on Elysia, Bun, and Kysely — now at rc3 after a beta series. Recent candidates add host integrations (WordPress, Moodle, Omeka-S), accessibility in exports, and richer iDevices.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is modernization: a maintainable TypeScript/Bun stack, embeddable theming for host platforms, and accessibility and asset-security hardening ahead of a 4.0 stable release.
◆ Prediction
Expect 4.0.0 stable to follow rc3 shortly, with host-integration theming and accessibility improvements as headline items.
