Moodle Versions

New versions of Moodle are released approximately every six months. Moodle supports upgrading from a previous version. This policy describes how the minimum version to upgrade from is calculated.

Policy statement​

When determining the requirements for a version of Moodle, the following rules apply to supported Moodle Versions to upgrade from:

  1. A Long Term Support (LTS) release will always require the previous LTS release (or later) for upgrading.
  2. Other versions of Moodle will the higher of either:
    • the lowest version of Moodle supported by the minimum PHP version requirement; or
    • the minimum version required by the previous LTS.
Examples
  • Moodle 4.5 LTS requires Moodle 4.1 LTS or higher because it is an LTS release.
  • Moodle 5.0 has a minimum PHP version of 8.2, therefore it requires Moodle 4.2.3 which was the first version to support PHP 8.2.
