- Upgraded dependencies.
- Use ink-docstrap-template instead ink-docstrap to deal with updated components, thus avoiding security warnings.
- Direct use of jsdom instead of mock-browser (outdated) in
test/nodejs, to avoid security warnings.

- Upgraded dependencies.
- Avoid bad URLs in local files when running on NodeJS with JSDOM.
- Recycle HTML audio elements instead of building one for each audio file at startup. This has been motivated by a breaking change introduced in Chrome 92+, limiting the maximum number of media player elements per document. (see: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1144736). This improvement will reduce the startup time of JClic projects and the size of media bytes to be downloaded, but can have a side effect, introducing latency when playing audio because is now always fetched "on demand" (no more preloading).
- Added Romanian translation, thanks to Studio Davis Tutoriale Programe.
- Upgraded dependencies.
- Use real files instead of inline JS constants for CSS, SVG, PNG and MP3 assets. These files are finally codified and inlined by WebPack at compile time.
- Fixed an issue with i18n, which did not correctly apply the required language selection.
- i18n has been written from scratch, simplifying its operation and supporting different "locale" encodings.
- JClic projects can be now encapsulated in JSON format (files with extension
.jclic.json). Current files in XML format (.jclic) will be still supported, but JSON will be the default format from now. Both formats can also be packaged in ZIP files (files of type.jclic.zipand.scorm.zip). This will simplify the development of the upcoming new project JClic Author HTML5. - JClic.js uses now JavaScript modules instead of AMD modules and RequireJS. All members of complex modules like AWT and Utils can now be imported directly.

- New methods
getAttributesandsetAttributesin core classes, used to serialize and de-serialize projects data. - Drop Bower support.
- Open source license updated to European Union Public License 1.2.

- Use the
box-sizingCSS attribute to compute the real with of the counters area inDefaultSkin. - Audio recorder features now enabled for all modern browsers using MediaDevices.getUserMedia instead of the deprecated method navigator.getUserMedia.

AWT.Font.cssFontshould usepxasfont-sizeunit for consistency with JClic.- Use underscore instead of blank space as filling character in
TextActivityDocument.TextTarget. - Correct the vertical position of centered text in boxes and grid cells.

backandforwardbuttons. - Interpret negative values as percentages when setting CSS sizes, useful for the JClic module for Moodle.
- Corrected a bug in
automation/arith/Arith.jsthat affected operations with decimals with do not carry option.
- Numeric expressions generated by "Arith" (the mental arithmetics moduleof JClic) use now dot or comma as a decimal separator, depending on the browser's "locale" settings.
- The new
numericContentactivity flag is used by Arith activities to check written answers. So expressions like "0.1", "0.10" and "00,100" (with dot or comma) are considered equivalent.
- Explicit call to
HTMLAudioElement.loadinbags/MediaBagElement.buildto avoid the lack ofcanplayevents when just setting thesrcattribute in Chrome on Android < 7. Now JClic always try to load audio content, also in Android!
- Basic support for MIDI files: Only one musical instrument (acoustic grand piano) is dynamically loaded and used for all tracks, in a single MIDI channel schema. No percussion sounds on channel 10. This feature must be improved on the future, but currently covers the basic necessities of most musical activities.
- JClic.js is now also available also in Polish, thanks to Waldemar Stoczkowski!

- Improved responsiveness: Now skin elements are reduced to 2/3 or 1/2 of its original size when running on mobile devices with small screens.
- Basic functionality of JClic "legacy custom skins" (based on XML files) are now supported in browsers compatible with CSS Grid Layout. This feature is currently used in many great JClic projects created by Imma Palahí.
- Solved a bug in Menu.js.
- Check for null values on AUDIO_BUFFERS and mbe.data.
- All the code has been updated to ECMAScript6 (ES6), taking advantage of new JavaScript features (classes, constants, arrow functions, array methods...) in modern browsers. The main file
jclic.min.jswill maintain compability with older browsers for some time, since it is transpiled to ES5 thanks to Babel and Webpack. - Updated test files.
- All media is now played at the end of the current event handling, so it's not blocked by mobile browsers (see this thread for more information about this issue).
- New JSDoc-Bootstrap theme for the API Docs.
- Catch
Enterkey in written answer activities. - Disable drop-down lists at the end of text activities.

- New NPM scripts to build, debug and launch jclic.js, now based on webpack instead of Grunt and Browserify. See README.md for more information.
- Implemented the type of activity "Menu", used in legacy JClic libraries. Useful for JClic libraries hosted on school servers: now they can be served as HTML resources just placing an
index.htmlin the root folder pointing to thelibrary.jclicfile, like in this example.
- Updated French translation, thanks to Heluga Valka.
- Control of the maximum display time of previous screen in text activities. This JClic feature was unimplemented until now. Probably closes #12.
- Backslashes in active media parameters and file names are now always converted to forward slashes. This avoids problems with chaining in big projects distributed among multiple folders.
- Set default value of
navButtonsAlwaystofalse. Closes #11. - Avoid creating
AccessibleElementwhen canvas has no surface. - Double-check the existence of
ActiveBoxBagelements before using them. - Use index -1 in
jQuery.getto avoid addeddiv style-scopeelements in Shadow DOM. - Put stylesheets within shadow-root when in shadow DOM.

- Flush always pending tasks in
TCPReporterbefore exiting.
- Display a progress bar (in addition to the rotating animation) while loading project media elements.
- Transform full activity class names to
@classNameexpressions, so projects using this naming schema (like GeoClic) can now make use of JClic.js.
EmptySkinhas been implemented and is now used as initial player skin.- JClic java applets generated through
jclicplugin.jsare now always loaded as JClic.js HTML5 elements. This change has been motivated by the fact that Firefox 52 has dropped support for Java applets. - Updated NPM components.
- Check
AWT.WebFontto avoid conflicts with other webfont loader packages already loaded. - Build always a skin for
JClicPlayer, even when the requested one does no exist. - Force main container width and height when inside a
TD. - Avoid incorrect placement of inner elements when parent container has the
alignattribute defined.

- Place "check" button always anchored at bottom of text activities.
- Properly initialize
EvaluatorwithIntl.Collatorin text activities. - Solved problems when rounding and ceiling integers in Arith.
- Avoid calling
buildAccessibleElementson null panels.
- Export third-party NPM packages in a new member of
Utilscalledpkg, so external scripts can make use of it through the global vriableJClicObject. This change was needed to implement downloading of JClic projects in JClic Repo.
- Use of es6-promise polyfill to support
Promisein IE11 and other outdated browsers. - Explicit loading of fonts included in JClic projects. The
nameattribute of media elements is now used asfont-familyvalue.

- Improved log system.
- Fixed incorrect calculation of score in Identify activities.
- Improved accessibility based on WAI-ARIA specifications (still in progress).
- Experimental use of HTML canvas hit regions. In order to use it, flags
ExperimentalCanvasFeatures(Chrome) orcanvas.hitregions.enabled(Firefox) must be enabled. Checked with ChromeVox.
- Miscellaneous optimizations: conditional operators, jQuery expressions, allow reuse of JClicPlayer objects, etc. See git log for details.
- "Full screen" mode should work now as expected (when available).

- Implemented support for SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. Now JClic reports global score and session time when a SCORM API is detected.
- New method to calculate scores for SCORM: now "partial score" refers to the score average of all played activities and "global score" multiplies it by the ratio between the number of activities played at least once and the total number of activities in the project. For example, when playing a project with 20 activities, a student that has successfully finished only one activity will have a partial score of 100%, but its global score will be only 5%. When all activities are played at least once, global and partial scores have the same value.
