Releases > Moodle 2.9.1 release notes
Release date: 6 July 2015
Here is the full list of fixed issues in 2.9.1.
Highlights
Big work has been done to deal with unexpected grades changes in the gradebook that some users have experienced when upgrading from Moodle 2.7 to 2.8 or 2.9. Also the decision has been made to prevent the grades changes after other fixes even if it means keeping the wrong calculations. Refer to Grades min max and Gradebook calculation changes for more details.
