New Moodle LAE Releases for 1.9.19, 2.2.10, 2.3.7

There are three new CLAMP releases. All three releases are maintenance only; there are no new LAE features. We anticipate these being the final releases on the 2.2 and 1.9 branches. The next release cycle will include the first official releases on the 2.4 and 2.5 branches, in addition to 2.3.

You can download the updates from their project pages:

A full version of the report will be available to the Steering Committee to help determine which versions of Moodle the organization will support in 2013-14.
