===Requirements===
===Requirements===


These are just minimums. We recommend keeping all your software updated.  
*...


* Recommended minimum browser: Google Chrome 11, Firefox 4, Safari 5, Internet Explorer 8 (IE 10 required for drag and drop of files from outside the browser into Moodle)
===Major new features===
* Moodle upgrade:  Moodle 2.2 or later (if upgrading from earlier versions, you must upgrade to 2.2.9 as a first step)
* Minimum DB versions: PostgreSQL 8.3, MySQL 5.1.33, MariaDB 5.2, MSSQL 2005 or Oracle 10.2 (oci_native_moodle_package.sql needs to be executed before upgrade on Oracle servers)
* Minimum PHP version: PHP 5.3.3
* New PHP extension requirements: GD


NOTE: We will drop support for IE8 in Moodle 2.6 (to be released November 2013). This means IE8 will probably still work for 2.6, but developers will not be required to test their new code on that browser.  Moodle, like most of the world's web sites and browser producers, encourages you to keep your browsers current to improve security and functionality while saving us valuable time.  ([http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.ca/2012/09/supporting-modern-browsers-internet.html For example see what Google is doing])
