Chamilo 1.11.18
Chamilo 1.11.18 is a minor security and bug fix release on top of 1.11.16.

We actively encourage all Chamilo administrators to update their system to this version as soon as possible.

... and about 150 more features (see https://11.chamilo.org/documentation/changelog.html for a complete list).
Some of these features might require activation through specific files and databases operations. Make sure you check main/install/configuration.dist.php for options or ask on https://forum.chamilo.org/ for details on how to enable them.
In the assets attached to this release, the default ones have been prepared to work with PHP 7.2 and above, while the ones marked -php74
have been specifically prepared to work on PHP no lower than 7.4.
Although we do not officially support PHP 8.0, 8.1 or 8.2 with the 1.11 branch of Chamilo, we tested it relatively thoroughly with the -php74
package and it worked well, to the minor exception of the edition of learning paths which is visually a bit broken.
We recommend using PHP 7.4 while we are running to deliver Chamilo 2.0 with full support for PHP 8.2 or superior.
