Revision as of 16:57, 17 February 2023 by Doristam (talk | contribs)

A list of the third-party plugins within Mahara.

A helpful way to update this list is to go:

 find ./htdocs -type f -iname "README.Mahara" -exec grep 'Version' -B1 {} \; -print

... on the current codebase.

Note: another thing to keep in sync is the country names we use for 'Country' dropdowns. To check what the current state of play is

perl -MLocale::Country -le 'print join("\n", sort map { country2code($_) . " => " . country2code($_, LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3) . ", // " . $_ } all_country_names())'

and check the results against htdocs/lib/country.php and htdocs/lang/en.utf8/mahara.php files For any confusion you can also check against https://www.iso.org

Third-party libraries (PHP and JS)

📅 Last updated: 5 October 2022

Node versions in support https://endoflife.date/nodejs node| https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/ npm | - 8.0 security support ends

PHP versions in support https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php - 14 LTS - Ends security support in 30 Apr 2023, go to 16 LTS soon

💡 A new idea is being proposed to better handle customisations on updating third party libraries lives here → https://reviews.mahara.org/c/mahara/+/13780
