This new stable version of the Claroline Open Source LMS comes with a lot of new features : a user desktop, an internal messaging system,  a templating system for the display... Many parts of the code have been refactored or completely rewritten for this release. The upgrade from Claroline 1.7 or 1.8 is available. As it was announced the support of PHP 4 as been dropped and the platform now requires PHP 5.1.6 and or PHP 5.2.x (recommended). You can read the complete changelog on our wiki.

I'd like to thanks all the people who have made this release possible by contributing code, reporting bugs and security issues, providing translations, testing the application...
