<h1>Chamilo 1.9.8 - Thon, 15th of June, 2014</h1>
<h3>Release notes - summary</h3>
<p>Chamilo 1.9.8 is a minor stable version with a series of improvements on top of 1.9.6.<br/>
This version is the first Chamilo version to drop support for Internet Explorer
@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ web standards. If they *cannot* avoid Internet Explorer, make sure they use at
least version 10, which respects a little bit more than half of the W3C
standards (but still much less than Firefox, Chrome, Opera or even Safari)</p>
<h3>Release name</h3>
<p><ahref="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thon-Samson">Thon-Samson</a> is a small city in the Belgian region of Wallonia</p>
<p><ahref="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thon-Samson">Thon</a> is a small city in the Belgian region of Wallonia, several times classified as the most beautiful village of the South region of Belgium. It is a quite, beautiful place without anything out of the ordinary but made of beautiful, hundred years old homes built from famous Wallonia blue stone and crossed by the Samson river. Its stability and it's position just next to the large cliffs surrounding the Meuse are symbolically close to Chamilo 1.9.8, highly stable but a few steps away for the huge jump to the next major version.</p>

<h3>Stylesheets and theming</h3>
Stylesheets have been considerably changed in version 1.9.8, which might require a little update on your side if you have a custom stylesheet. We're sorry about it, but it was really necessary to improve the adaptability of the interface for mobile devices (which we are sure you will appreciate). If you only changed the logo, we recommend you make a copy of an existing Chamilo style (main/css/chamilo*) again, rename it and simply replace the logo then upload the new style. If you have more complex styles, you might want to ask for the assistance of your web designer at the moment you update Chamilo to this version.
