2.62

Introduction of a resource mode to save the documents. It replaces the questionnaire mode. This is the preferred mode for recording on the web. Use the menu "Resource | Insert an input box" to put places allowing the user to work.

When a resource is used, it can be saved on the local drive (the file ends with .myRes.eplw) and it can be loaded later to continue the work.

The idea of saving with fixed parameters disappears. When parameters are associated with a file, if you save in the write mode, the parameters are modifiable. If you save in the resource mode, they are not, except those indicated "free".

Metadata has a field to put the URL of a pedagogical form, if there is one.

2.61  

In the Web Explorer, the html file associated with an eplw file no longer appears.

In the Web menu, the "write" recording mode is now called "Web save as sources."

When a document has been loaded from the web or stored on the Web, a button on the document tab allows saving the current state on the Web, in addition to the one allowing the recording to the hard drive. The "Recent" item of the Web menu has been repaired.

 

The "Solved form" bug for equations with no solution has been fixed.

"Adding like terms" has been extended to 2x dropped on 3x in 3x-2x

2.6

Separation between editing proposals and calculation proposals in drag and drop: with dynamic algebra, calculation proposals are now displayed without editing proposals. For editing proposals, choose "Dynamic Algebra: no" on the Calculation panel.

 

Adding zoom buttons on the Home panel and the Calculation panel. Adding a checkbox "Math auto" on the Calculation panel.

 

The zoom is stored with the document, when loading the document, the zoom of the last record of the document is set.

 

Adding buttons to access metadata (Home panel) and document parameters (Home and Calculation panels).

 

Introduction of a parameter to set the "Calculation per click" parameter. It appears in a combo box of the Calculation panel and in the parameters that can be associated with a document.

 

The = button of the Calculation panel no more performs expand and simplify, development-reduction, only performs exact numerical computation.  

 

The check box "Duplicate when calculating" is replaced by a list of choices with the new choice "Duplicate: Besides".

With this choice, you can easily write sequences of calculations without explanation on the same line.

 

Introduction of a new element to questionnaires: "Answer for multiple forms" for seeking to provide n different expressions equivalent to a given expression.  

 

Improving the following of eplw type links. This is done in a different tab of the applet or application.

 

Improving the treatment of questions of score 0 in questionnaires: no score is given, but the correct  / incorret indication is displayed.  

 

Adding a formula operator mod  for modulo (remainder of the division).  

 

Adding a special formula operator "for" (button on the panel with integrals and matrices) for generating formulas by instantiating the parameters. For example, if one writes the formula:

 

ax+b=0for(2≤a≤8etmod(a)(2)=0)et(1≤b≤4et2b<a)  

 

and if one performs Ctrl + Click, yields:

8x+3=0   8x+1=0   6x+2=0   6x+1=0   4x+1=0   8x+2=0  

on the line below.  

 

 



The Aristod company, which developed these tools, ceased its activities in April 2019, due to the very low interest that these tools have generated.
Jean-Francois Nicaud, the main author of these tools, keeps them available to users on this website for a few years.
