2021 r2 での更新項目

機能

  • Added the ability to create and build interactive eLearning courses.
  • Added the ability to create multiple choice questions and knowledge checks.
  • Added the ability to convert existing content into course/quiz content.
  • Added the ability to create xAPI (Tin Can) or SCORM packages for Learning Management Systems (LMS).
  • Added Insert IFrame support for media and web-based content.
  • Added the ability to pass publishing credentials via command line builds.
  • The term "Master" has been replaced with other terms.
  • Changes for HTML5 Output:
    • Several new JavaScript files are now included in HTML5 output to support eLearning elements. These files are linked to the output files as purify.min.js, MadCapLms.js, and MadCapELearning.js. The latter two files are combined into MadCapAll.js when using the target option to condense JavaScript files. If any eLearning elements are added, an additional lmsapiwrapper.js is included in the output.
    • The structure in the topic toolbar and tripane toolbar elements in HTML5 output has changed significantly for this release to support improvements and new features for the toolbar buttons.
      • In prior versions of Flare, toolbar buttons were included in the output as button elements with nested img tags. Toolbar buttons will now be included in the output as button elements with nested div elements to support new features such as text labels for each button. The changes applied to the toolbar buttons may be different for different projects as the upgrade process is determined based on the prior configuration. Below are examples of changes:
        • Images that were previously set as background images on the button element may be moved to be a background image in a nested div element with a role=”img”.
        • Accessibility labels for the button image are now applied to the new div with role=”img” instead of the prior img tag.
    • Skins modified with Flare 2021 r2 will now automatically be upgraded with new markup for the new features. There are also numerous changes to the Flare-generated stylesheets to support styling for the upgraded toolbar buttons.
