Moodle 4.5.9
You are encouraged to upgrade to a supported version of Moodle.
Release date: 9 February 2026
Here is the full list of fixed issues in 4.5.9.
Please note that sites using third party themes that modify the core admin renderer (such as Moove) are recommended not to upgrade to this minor version, as there is a known breaking change which affects access to site administration. Sites using Boost, Classic or other themes which do not modify site administration rendering are not affected, and it is safe to upgrade (for more information, see MDL-87892). An unscheduled release which addresses this bug will be released imminently.
