<DIV
style="FONT-STYLE: normal; DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; TEXT-DECORATION: none"><SPAN>Dear
ISIS users,<BR><BR>I whish to inform you that. J-ISIS is still in heavy
development and code refactoring. Please find below a summary of some of the
recent developments:<BR><BR>1)J-ISIS latest versions are using the DJ-Native
Swing JWebBrowser library to offer a Web Browser through J-ISIS. It was quite
successful for providing a Web Browser for most popular platforms. But the
Java integration has always produced from time to time some strange behavior
(like losing the focus on the other components after clicking on the Browser
window, overlapping of windows, etc.) , most probably because of mixing
heavyweight and lightweight components and also because of our incompetency in
solving the issues.</SPAN>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN>Thus, recently we changed for the JavaFX 2.2 WebWiew.
The integration with Java is fine and we have got rid of all the DJ-Native Swing
problems. However, we have lost some features which were given for free with the
native browsers such as downloading resources in different formats and opening
them in the right application. </SPAN><SPAN>The embedded browser component is
based on <A href="http://www.webkit.org/">WebKit</A>, an open source web browser
engine. It supports Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, Document Object
Model (DOM), and HTML5.<BR></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN><BR></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN>2) The Jetty Web Server has been embedded in J-ISIS,
thus when you start J-ISIS, you have a database server (Database is a Berkeley
DB) as well as a Web server. Records are displayed through the Web browser and
can access other Web resources with the embedded Jetty Web server.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN><BR></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN>3) Web-JISIS prototype is futher developed and tested
to provide a more robust release. The menu bar is now stable, changing PFT when
displaying records is now working as well as changing the worksheet in data
entry.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN><BR></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>4) And many small Improvements such as:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal></P>
<P class=MsoNormal></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U><SPAN lang=EN-US>Indexing Techniques</SPAN></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>The field content is checked to see if it is
html. In case it is recognized as HTML, the text part is extracted and used for
indexing. <BR></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U><SPAN lang=EN-US>Import/Export</SPAN></U><SPAN
lang=EN-US></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Better wizard screens</SPAN><SPAN
lang=EN-US> and support for other formats such as Dublin Core</SPAN><U><SPAN
lang=EN-US></SPAN></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U><SPAN lang=EN-US>Search</SPAN></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Better highlighting of the seach terms in
the results</SPAN><U><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U><SPAN lang=EN-US>Worksheet Editor</SPAN></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Drag and Drop of the worksheet fields to
change their order</SPAN><U><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U><SPAN lang=EN-US>PFT Editor</SPAN></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>The output produced by a format with a
specific record is now working properly, thanks to the new JavaFX Webview
Browser.</SPAN><U><SPAN lang=EN-US><BR></SPAN></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><U>PFTs</U></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Images stored in blob fields can be used in
PFTs.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><U>Images</U></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Images are now well displayed through the
</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN lang=EN-US>new JavaFX Webview Browser which is
independent from the platform. Images can be stored directly in a record and/or
as a Web resource url.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN lang=EN-US>Web
Resources</SPAN></SPAN></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN lang=EN-US>A Web resource is anything
that is addressable over the Web with a url. They can be addressed through a
relative url if the resource is on the server machine or by an absolute url if
the Web resource is on a remote machine. <BR></SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U>Digital Library feature</U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Improved speed for large document and better user feedback
about the process.<BR><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><BR><SPAN>The tests I have done until now proves that the new
JavaFX </SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>embedded browser component fits very well in J-ISIS
and avoid the many annoying GUI problems I have seen in the previous
releases.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><BR><SPAN><SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN><SPAN></SPAN>I wish to provide this new version ASAP so
that it can be tested on different platforms. Hopefully, it will be available
before end of next month.</SPAN></P><BR><SPAN></SPAN>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN>With my best wishes,</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><BR><SPAN></SPAN></P>
