RELOAD EDITOR CHANGES Contact - p.beauvoir@bolton.ac.uk Web - http://www.reload.ac.uk
Version 2.1 May 3rd week 2006(?) Added support for SCORM 2004 Content conversion using XSLT Validation of XMLdocument using schema parser and schematron rule files. Added IMS CP 1.1.4 and MD 1.2.4 support Added a full form view for metadata editor
Version 2.0.3 Date to be decided Fixed: issues when running on Windows Server 2003
Version 2.0.2 23rd February 2005 LD Editor: Tooltips provided for Resource Selector (helps to see long file names) LD Editor: show LD level in window title bar LD Editor: implemented "Save As..." (New unique identifiers are generated for 'identifier' attributes.) Fixed: XML Namespace prefix bug where the LD Editor was not finding the Namespace prefix if the LD Namespace was also declared inline. Fixed: Editing title bar in LD Editor would set wrong title in newly selected component
Version 2.0.1 20th January 2005 Fixed - LD Editor: Resources Tree could sometimes insert bogus nodes
Version 2.0 6th January 2005 New IMS Learning Design 1.0 level A Editor CP Editor: Different Panel look CP Editor: HTML Parser will now attempt to parse xml and xslt files for resources CP Editor: "Save Preview" will now copy over all files from the project folder to the preview folder MD Editor: improved scrolling rate in form view Added a command argument handler to the Editor and SCORM Player so that users can set system properties. This is useful for network users who are getting wrong "user.home" settings. Create a shortcut or batch file or script file pointing to the application (or edit the existing one) and append an argument to the target such as: "C:\Program Files\Reload Tools\Reload Editor\ReloadEditor.exe" user.home=mydir or ReloadEditor.exe user.home=\\APath\shared or if running the jar: reload-editor.jar user.home=//appath/mydir If there are spaces in the path, surround the argument with quotes: "user.home=d:\some dir" Fixed - CP Editor: system slowdown could occur when adding an Item to the Manifest Tree if warning messages are written to the Status Window Fixed - CP Editor: "?params" are preserved in viewer if they exist in a local Resource URL (will also affect SCORM Player) Fixed - some window focus issues Fixed bug in "Save CP Preview" where destination folder could be child of source folder leading to infinite recursion when copying files
Version 1.3 30th July 2004 Messages for menu items etc. have been externalised for language internationalisation. The program now automatically detects system locale and displays the language accordingly if the language files exist. This can be over-ridden in Preferences->Appearance "Save As..." implemented for Content Package Editor. New unique identifiers are generated for 'identifier' attributes. Tooltips provided for items in combo boxes in Attribute Table Editor (helps to see long file names) CP Previewer now displays files located on networked paths in Windows Exported CP Preview now works as a frame within another frameset New Help system The "New SCORM Package" and "Open" dialogs have a button added to go to the Reload SCORM Player's package folder (if the Reload SCORM Player is installed). Xerces library version 2.6.2 Castor library version 0.9.5.3 Fixed - bogus warning if cancel selected when selecting folder to unzip CP Fixed - <dependency> identifierref not being mapped to a new unique identifier when aggregating sub-manifests Fixed - <dependency> elements can no longer reference parent <resource> in combo-box Fixed - closing and re-expanding Resources Tree root node would display some grandchild nodes twice
Version 1.2 20th May 2004 Improved Content Package Previewer with tree navigator. Also displays SCORM packages (no tracking here, use SCORM Player for that) Ability to Export Content Package Preview as set of HTML files to be used standalone Choice of selecting versions of CP and MD Now supports MD version 1.1 and CP version 1.1.1 Double-clicking a Resource in the Resources Window launches it (equivalent to "View File") When Resources are added to the Manifest by drag and drop, any spaces in HREFs are converted to %20 as per RFC2396 New View File icon, removed from Resources Panel now on main toolbar Improved changes to Look and Feel A Resource in the Manifest tree now displays its Identifier if no HREF present HTML page charset attribute is respected when an Item's title is added to manifest (non-English characters display properly) Better Apple Mac integration "Save" and "Save As..." - specified folder is created if it doesn't exist "Save" dialogs now show file/project name Changed format of Vocabulary XML files so that the default Item is set using a default="ItemValue" attribute in the "vocabList" element We no longer automatically correct bogus Namespaces! Export Manifest (Disaggregate) now creates correct root element attributes and namespaces, new GUID identifier and copies over all source Schema files Resources Tree now only loads two levels deep - much faster on load and refresh Profiles are stored in USER_HOME/reload/reload-editor folder Profiles now have friendly file names New Preferences dialog with Appearance tab Preference to restore broken helper files (under Preferences/General) Pluggable architecture Windows version ships with Java 1.4.2_04 Fixed - bug where "xml:base" attribute would get prefixed to external URLs in Previewer Fixed - Put back the 'encoding="UTF-8"' statement in outputted XML files, because they _are_ UTF-8 encoded files, as per IMS specs Fixed - HTMLParser not working if lower-case root folder Fixed - tree widgets on TreeTable not working properly on Mac OS X Fixed - files not added to manifest (dependent files) if mismatch in case between project folder and file Fixed - various bug fixes and improvements

If this sub-Folder exists and imsmanifest.xml exists for this sub-Manifest, copy contents to new folder. Finish. 5. If this sub-Folder does not exist (and, thus, no imsmanifest.xml): i. Walk the tree to get all referenced files, and copy over to new Folder ii.
