Summary

Chamilo 1.11.0 is a major version of the 1.11.x branch, with new features and bugfixes on top of 1.10.8. As a major version, it requires the use of the upgrade script in order to upgrade an existing Chamilo portal. See install instructions.

Chamilo 1.11.0 integrates several new techniques of development that should improve is reliability and flexibility, but also require more processor and memory. As such, we strongly recommend installing and enabling the Zend OpCache extension, and PHP 5.6. Chamilo 1.11.0 also supports PHP 7.0.

Release name

Lecce, Italy, is a charming little city with strong remains of the Roman Empire. By its geographical location, it is at the "edge" of Italy and Western Europe as if, getting to Lecce from there, you were preparing to "jump" to Africa or Greece. We feel like 1.11.0 is the last big step before Chamilo 2.0, and as such we thought that Lecce was a good name to match this situation.

Security fixes

There were no specific security flaws reported from external sources that affect 1.11.0 on its own. However, several issues were reported and fixed in 1.10.8, so if you have a previous version of Chamilo, we recommend upgrading to 1.11.0 anyway to benefit from these changes.
