Releases > Moodle 3.0.1 release notes

Release date: 21 December 2015

Here is the full list of fixed issues in 3.0.1.

Highlights

Moodle 3.0.1 is a special release outside of the normal release schedule. The main highlight is support of PHP 7.0. This is the new major version of the programming language Moodle is written in, it has significantly better performance but at the same time lots of changes in the engine. Please note that Moodle 2.9 will show errors if run on php7.

Before upgrading PHP version on production servers throughoutly test your plugins. Documentation for developers is available in the article Moodle and PHP7.

Php 7.0 was released on 3 December 2015 and is still very young. Not all libraries and/or drivers are yet available for Php7, for example, there are no drivers for SQL*Server. Some other drivers required by your plugins may also be missing.

Everybody anticipates that Php7 will immediately become very popular because of its performance indicators, we also know that many institutions have not even upgraded to Moodle 3.0 yet, it will still be supported for a long time and users can really benefit from this bundle.
