Hello Mahara community,

We are pleased to announce the 2nd release candidate for Mahara version 16.10.

As usual, the release candidate phase is your time to give the upcoming version of Mahara a thorough test either on its own or ideally also updating one of your test servers so that you will know what that is going to be like.

If you run into any issues, please do let us know as we still have some time to fix up show stoppers before the stable release in the second half of October.

You can download the release candidate and give it a go.

Our new features are listed on Launchpad with the "nominatedfeature" tag.

A lot of bugs were fixed for this release, and you can view the full list.

If you reported bugs and they have been fixed, pay particular attention to them and check that all is working now.

In case you find new bugs, please report them on Launchpad so they can consider to fix them before the 16.10.0 release:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+filebug

In case there are important bugs found that need fixing, we may produce a third release candidate. Otherwise, this release candidate will become the final 16.10.0 release.

You can use our developer instance to check out the new features of Mahara if you can't install it yourself.

We look forward to hearing from you how you like the new functionalities.

Cheers
The Mahara 16.10 Release Managers

Hello,

The SmartEvidence functionality is documented in the user manual for Mahara 16.10 so that you can see what is possible with it. More documentation of the other new features is coming soon.

Cheers

Kristina
