<h1>Chamilo 1.9.6 - Mystery, 18th of April, 2013</h1>
<h1>Chamilo 1.9.6 - Rochefort, 1st of June, 2013</h1>
<h3>Release notes - summary</h3>
<p>Chamilo 1.9.6 is a minor stable version with a series of improvements on top of 1.9.4.</p>
<p>Chamilo 1.9.6 is a minor stable version with security patches and a series of improvements on top of 1.9.4.</p>
<h3>Release name</h3>
<p><ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery">Mystery</a> is a name we give new versions before we know their name. </p>
<p><ahref="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochefort_%28Belgique%29">Rochefort</a> is a small city in the South of Belgium, that has existed at least since year 1041 and has shown impressive resilience and stability, which we think 1.9.6 has reached as well. Rochefort's Brewery produces a very nice trappist beer exported even to Peru! As we are getting ready for a larger battle, getting Chamilo LMS every day to a larger community, we thought we'd make a last quiet stop and salute the little town where several contributors of Chamilo have set foot in the past.</p>
