Product Life Cycle - Higher Logic Vanilla

This article lists the current stages for Higher Logic Vanilla (Vanilla) addons, modules, and features.

Link Types and Sitemaps are core functionality and are not customer-toggle add-ons.

Many Vanilla add-ons, modules, and features are in the Active stage and are available for ongoing use. In the interest of simplicity, these are intentionally not included in this article.

NOTE: To learn more about each stage, including its feature-improvement activity and support-assurance details, see Product Life Cycle and Support Assurance Plan in the external Higher Logic knowledge base.

IMPORTANT: Vanilla has sunsetted all legacy themes in favour of Foundation. Check Sunsetted Themes for information on the status of legacy themes.

TIP: Many features of Vanilla are compatible only with Foundation and require the use of the Layout Editor. If you haven't already done so, Vanilla encourages you to upgrade your theme to Foundation.

Early Adopter

Below is an alphabetized list of the Vanilla add-ons, modules, and features that are in this stage of the product lifecycle.

NOTE: Early Adopter is synonymous with "Beta." Instances of "Beta" throughout the Vanilla interface and knowledge base indicate a new feature or module that is in a limited-release state while undergoing further development. Learn more in Product Life Cycle and Support Assurance Plan in the external Higher Logic knowledge base.
