Roadmap

This document is your starting point for learning about our plans for upcoming releases of Moodle. See our Releases page for details about current and past releases.

Since Moodle 2.0 we have switched to time-based releases rather than feature-based releases, as part of our new development process. Because of this, the details below are an indication of current priorities only, and are subject to change according to how long things take to develop. If something can not be finished for a release then it will generally just be pushed to the next major release.

The items in the roadmap are part of a long-term development vision for Moodle, which is heavily influenced by requests from our user community.

Version 2.3

Release date: 1st June 2012

Requirements

Minimum browser: Firefox 4, Internet Explorer 8, Safari 5 (New!) Moodle upgrade: Moodle 2.2 or later (if upgrading from earlier versions, you must upgrade to 2.2 as a first step)

Expected changes:

• Usability project 2.3 - picking off low-hanging problems affecting new users, including:
  • Question_editing_form_improvements
• Paged course formats - new course settings to display topics as sub-pages
• Assignment - refactor module to remove subtypes, add web services for offline grading
• Improved support for external File content - Improvements to files interface and repository links
• MDL-28946 Multi-tenancy support - allowing a number of "virtual Moodle sites" to run on one installation
• MDL-3030 - better handling of overdue quiz attempts.

Other major priorities

The following are features that are currently being worked on, but we do not know exactly when they will make it into core.

• Survey 2 - an activity module that combines Survey, Questionnaire and Feedback
• Restore 1.9 user data - adding the ability to restore user data in 1.9 backups
• Oauth2 - cross-system authentication, for integration with other systems and to replace MNet.
