ILIAS

EDTECH
Velocity5.0

Open source learning management system used by universities, schools, and training organizations.

ILIAS keeps three concurrently-supported major lines (9, 10, 11) in lockstep with synchronized security patches.

◆Current state
ILIAS is in a steady maintenance cadence across three concurrently-supported major lines: v9.20, v10.8, and v11.1 all shipped May 26 with security fixes. The v11.0 major-line opener went out May 4 without security fixes (suggesting clean line start). Release notes themselves are minimal — each points to docu.ilias.de for details and the security blog for CVE specifics — which keeps the GitHub release feed terse but obscures feature direction.
◆Where it's heading
Mature open-source LMS mode: synchronized patches across supported lines, fresh v11 line opened in early May, v10 and v9 still actively supported. The pattern looks deliberate, aimed at institutional users (universities, training organizations) who cannot constantly chase major versions. Feature direction will not be visible from this changelog — it lives in the docu.ilias.de release pages.
◆Prediction
Expect roughly monthly synchronized patch waves across 9/10/11 lines through summer. Mid-version feature work for v11.x will show up as v11.2 and v11.3 maintenance entries — visible here only as version bumps. Real direction requires monitoring the linked release pages directly.
