Release 0.96 of eXe, the eLearning XHTML editor, is now available as we rapidly approach Version 1.0.

This version contains a number of enhancements and bug fixes.  Perhaps most notable is improved ability to load packages created with older versions of eXe.  The ability to embed images in text areas managed by TinyMCE has been refined to make shorter filenames and to properly clean up images that are deleted.  There have also been a couple of fixes in the unicode handling: one that makes the Wikipedia iDevice more robust when parsing pages and one that allows IMS Content Packages to be exported when there are characters other than ASCII in the metadata.  You can see the complete list of changes in the release notes.

Remember that eXe is an Open Source project.  We welcome your help.  Note that this does not necessarily require programming.  If you discover a problem or have a suggestion to improve eXe, please take the time to (1) check if someone has reported the same thing and then (2) provide us with a detailed sequence of steps so that we can try to reproduce the problem and get it fixed.  If you are willing to share an ".elp" package that illustrates the problem, that can often be helpful.  The faster we can duplicate and isolate the problem, the faster eXe can advance.  Please help!  If you can help translate eXe into your language, please visit our Pootle translation server and improve the translations.

Thanks for being part of the eXe community!
