ILIAS keeps three major versions patched on the same day, month after month

lmssecuritymulti-branch-maintenanceopen-sourceinstitutionalstability
◆Current state
ILIAS released 11.5, 10.12 and 9.24 together on 6 October, each carrying security fixes and an update recommendation. This matches the August and September batches, with details held in the project's security blog rather than the release notes. Institutions on older major versions continue to get coverage alongside the latest line.
◆Where it's heading
ILIAS remains in a stability cadence built for universities and enterprises with slow upgrade cycles. The releases are predictable and intentionally thin, so feature development is not visible in this feed at all. Every recent batch has contained security fixes, which makes monthly updating the operational expectation for administrators.
◆Prediction
Expect the next coordinated batch across 11, 10 and 9 in about a month, again with security fixes. Any major feature news would more likely appear through the docu.ilias.de community process than in these releases.
