Roadmap/Mahara 22.10 roadmap

For the release of Mahara 22.10, the October 2022 release, a number of features were identified to support the growth of Mahara. This list may be added to throughout the release cycle, and it will be updated once Mahara 22.10 has been released.

This list still needs to be confirmed once we are starting to look into the 22.10 release. Read the release notes for more information.

Usability improvements
to simplify the user interface, keep up with the changing world of how people interact with web applications and thus expect from Mahara.

• Add separate alt text and caption for images
• Combine 'Pages and collections' to 'Portfolios' around the site; pages and collections still exist but when both are meant, they are referred to as 'Portfolios'
• More clarity around being able to sign off a page

---

New feature development
to offer tools to learners that they need to create the portfolios they want or are required to set up.

• Report over SmartEvidence statuses
• 'Quick edit' option on 'Files', 'PDF', and 'Course completion' blocks for faster editing
• Export accounts via CLI
• Move accounts from one institution to another via CSV

---

Technical updates
to make use of new libraries that are used and keep current with technology that is included. That also supports the usability of the site.

• Support for Font Awesome 6
• Implementation of Bootstrap 5
• Experimental support of PHP 8.1
• More transparent and centralised access controls for embedded images

---

Issue resolution
to fix problems that people have come across.
