Welcome to Gibbon v29.0.00 (Ma On Shan).
Gibbon v29 features a redesigned timetable, which is more informative and offers quick-toggle layers: this work continues the visual refresh introduced in our last release. v29 also includes an improved Library view in Student Profile, Petty Cash tracking, Behaviour observations, colour-coded Markbook columns and a host of other improvements.
Thanks to Pablo Salinas (Pb3l1t0) for his help to analyze and identify security improvements for Gibbon. Following his recommendations, v29 now includes improved form security with CSRF and nonce token handling.
Gibbon Foundation
The development of Gibbon is enabled by the Gibbon Foundation, a non-profit body that oversees the development, maintenance and long-term health of the Gibbon open source project.
Gibbon adds value to a wide range of schools and organisations around the world, without any fees or licencing costs. Our focus is on quality education for all, not profit, and we believe that this is how school software should be. Nonetheless, building and maintaining quality software comes with costs, which have grown in proportion with the size of our community.
Please join us here if you are interested in supporting the ongoing development of Gibbon. Thank you!
Translation
Our continued thanks go out to our hard working Gibbon translators: powered by their efforts, Gibbon is now available in 26 languages! If you would like to volunteer to translate Gibbon into your language, please email [email protected].
