MediaLab Version 2006.2

[jarvis24]

In custom items, ML now automatically searches posted text data for special character codes and replaces them with the actual characters. This makes text data much more readable in the data files and makes it presentable for re-display via the responses.xls file if desired. For details, see www.empirisoft.com/support/showthread.php?p=1301

Fixed problem described in link (above) caused when one types an ampersand (&) in their text response within a custom item type.

In previous versions, text labels would show an ampersand (&) as an underscore (_), e.g., "Texas A&M" would appear as "Texas A_M". This is fixed. Note that a previous fix was to use a double ampersand (e.g., Texas A&&M).

Added a new site licensing function so that users do not need to re-download and re-install in order to take advantage of IP-based licensing. So long as the user has v2006.2.37 or later, then we can update a single file called license2006ip.dll and send that to the user. This file can replace the older version in the C:\MediaLab folder and all should be good.

Fixed issue with Experiment Editor. Help buttons were not functioning properly in some cases when the Editor was started from within MediaLab.

Experiment editor now allows you to specify an unconditional skipto value for custom items.

Fixed a bug affecting unconditional skip patterns. In v2006.2.39, we expanded the fetaure such that custom items would take advantage of unconditional skipping by placing a variable name in the first "skipto" field. Unfortunately, doing so disabled unconditional skipping for other item types such as fill-in-the-blanks, instructions, and others that allow for only a single "skipto" value. This is fixed in v2006.2.40.
