WHAT IS IN THE TOOLBOOK 2004 SP2 UPDATE?

• No more JVM require in the Browser?
  This product was internally code-named decaf because the primary reason for the release was to remove the need (of the ToolBook DHTML Runtime) for a Java Virtual Machine to be installed.
    
  So is the need for Java really gone? Well, for the most part Yes. 
    
  There are only a few features in ToolBook 2004 SP2 that will still require the use of a Java Virtual Machine. Note that in the event your content still requires some Java, the version of Java you have installed should no longer be a factor. Any version of the Microsoft JVM or any version of the Sun JVM should allow this little bit of Java to function without compatibility problems.
    

  • If using the Logging feature which sends lesson data via SMTP email.
      

  • If using HTTP Post functionality, where the URL that you are posting to is on a different domain than the server hosting the HTML content. This essentially refers to using the HTTP Post command in the Actions Editor, as well as using an LMS which relies on AICC communication.
      

  • If using the advanced encryption option.

  So if you are not using either of these features above, your exported DHTML content will not use any Java logic.
      

• Added Browser Support
  In addition to Internet Explorer 5.5 SP1 and higher, and Netscape Navigator 7.2 and higher, the following browsers have been added to the officially supported list:
    

  • Firefox 1.0 +

  • Mozilla
      

• SCORM 2004 Support
  Although SCORM 2004 support is a very new standard that few (if any) Learning Management Systems on the market yet support, ToolBook now offers support for this new standard, while still offering support for the SCORM 1.2 standard too.
       

• QuickTime Support
  The Universal Media Player catalog object has been enhanced to support the current day QuickTime file format (.qt, .mov). Previous support offered only QuickTime 2.12 support.
