Dashboard

• “Last Videos Played” links now gray out if video is expired
• “Last Videos Played” panel renamed to “My Recent Videos.” This more accurately describes the contents of that panel and conforms to the style of the other panels on the Dashboard.

Video Playback

• Fixed Teacher’s Guide & Data Sheet links disappearing when playing a chapter or key concept if QuickTime is set as the preferred player
• Firefox 1.0.x – fixed “ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer”
• Firefox 1.0.x – fixed Teacher’s Guide link disappearing from DRP when adding a segment
• Safari 1.0 on Mac OS 10.2 - Fixed fullscreen video playback
• Safari 1.0 on Mac OS 10.2 – Fixed browser crashing issues on video details and playlist playback pages.
• IE 5.1 on Mac OS 9 – Fixed fullscreen video playback
• IE 5.1 on Mac OS 9 – Fixed browser crashing issues on video details and playlist playback pages.
• Safari 2.0 – Fixed alignment of key concept icons

General

• Improved default cursor location on numerous pages.
• Fixed expiration issue with duplicate titles existing between different packages (e.g., K-8 and 9-12). If one package expired before the other, the title would not show.
• Fixed several issues surrounding users not having a player preference on dual-format systems. Player preference is now defaulted to Windows Media Player for all new user accounts.
• Expired Content message was displaying to all users. It now only shows to Administrators.
• Username and password validation now indicates “no spaces.”
• Improved LDAP login failure messaging
• Fixed issue with “Add to Playlist” checkmark icons failing to indicate title’s playlist existence after switching player formats.
• Fixed running time inconsistency between search results page and video details page due to rounding. Running times for titles less then one minute are now displayed in seconds. Running times over one minute are rounded to the nearest minute.
• Video player adheres more closely to user’s player preference. On dual-format SAFARI Montage servers, videos played back from Shared Playlists or My Recent Videos panel were playing in the format in which they were originally saved, rather than the preferred format of the user.
• Spaces are now truncated from usernames upon login. This will decrease login failures.

Bookmarking

• Fixed issue with manual End Point time entry
• Fixed “Segment from Program” link missing from some bookmarks
• When adding a bookmark of a bookmark of a QuickTime video, the entire video would be saved to the Playlist rather than the bookmark.
• “Add to Playlist” checkbox icon no longer remains checked after In and Out points are modified using the Start Point and End Point links.
• “Add to Playlist” checkbox no longer appears when previewing a Windows Media video segment.

Playlists

• Items could be added to a deleted playlist using certain combinations of the Back button and clicks.
• The term “Preschool” was standardized as “Pre-K” throughout the application
• Usability improvements on Playlist decision page when attempting to add to a shared playlist or no playlist: better layout, consistency and conciseness of element and control names, reduction in wordiness and visual noise, removed redundant buttons, and improved user messaging.
• Fixed “Play All” link remaining active when all items are expired
• Fixed button highlighting on Playlists sub-navigation bar
• When one video format expires prior to the other in the same package, the system will play the video in the unexpired format. (This is only a safeguard. This scenario should never happen in practice because dual-formats will always expire simultaneously.)
• Refined duplicate checking logic when user is naming a Playlist. If playlist is shared, check for duplicates amongst all shared playlists (including user’s own shared playlists). If playlist is not shared, check for duplicates in the user’s personal playlists only.
• “Add to Playlist” link on the Playlist playback page was redirecting to the video playback page.
