New Moodle LAE Releases for 2.7.9, 2.8.7, 2.9.1

There are three new CLAMP releases. This is the initial release on the 2.9 branch. The 2.8 and 2.7 releases now include the Ad-hoc database queries report.

Moodle core introduced major changes to the gradebook beginning in Moodle 2.8. Please see CLAMP’s Moodle 2.8 and Moodle 2.9 recommendations for more information.

You can download the updates from their project pages:

Core has deprecated the 2.6 branch and we do not anticipate further releases on it. The next stable releases on the 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 branches are slated for September 21.

Moodle 2.8 and 2.9 gradebook advisory follow-up

In late May CLAMP became aware of several critical bugs in the Moodle gradebook which were introduced in 2.8. After assessing, CLAMP issued an advisory recommending against upgrading to Moodle 2.8 or 2.9 until those bugs were mitigated. Since then Moodle core and members of the Moodle community have made considerable progress working on these issues, and CLAMP believes it is now safe to upgrade to 2.8 and 2.9. Please continue reading for a full explanation. Read more

New Moodle LAE Releases for 2.6.11, 2.7.8, 2.8.6

There are three new CLAMP releases. There are no new LAE features; these are maintenance releases only.

The next stable releases on the 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 branches are slated for July 19. Core has released Moodle 2.9.0; CLAMP anticipates releasing a beta in late May and a production release following the MUG and Hack/Doc Fest at the College of the Holy Cross in June.
