Both Mahara 1.8 and 1.9 are still supported for security updates. The support for Mahara 1.8 will end with the release of the next version in April 2014, and the support for Mahara 1.9 will end in October 2015.
For more information, please see https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/SupportedVersions
If you are running a Mahara site lower than 1.8, we highly recommend you upgrade to 1.10 to receive security updates. Users of Mahara 1.8 and 1.9 can stay on their versions until that support runs out.
All site administrators running a supported version of Mahara are encouraged to subscribe to our security announcements:
