As IOMAD is essentially a suite of plugins with core Moodle under the hood, version support for IOMAD releases runs alongside that of Moodle, with each Moodle release having a corresponding IOMAD version of the same name. You can find all up-to-date IOMAD code on the IOMAD GitHub page.

A quick history lesson...

IOMAD was first developed as a neat bit of kit for e-Learn Design clients under the name Perficio. Development on Perficio began on the 13th December 2011, and the software was released for Moodle 2.0 in September 2011. The software would continue to be released as Perficio until version 2.5, when it became IOMAD as we know it today.

Release cycle

The target release dates for new IOMAD versions are 3 months after each Moodle release. Minor point releases that include security and bug fixes are released by Moodle HQ on a 2-month cycle, and are incorporated into supported IOMAD branches as soon as they become available (within the next working day).
