###Features #####TinyMCE We've upgraded TinyMCE from version 3 to 4. The new TinyMCE provides a nicer editing experience.

#####Bookmarklet upgrade In this release, all bookmarklet users will be prompted to upgrade their bookmarklet. The new bookmarklet version adds error checking, which detects image collection errors on certain sites.

#####Safari and Firefox extensions We've ported Mediathread's Chrome extension to Safari and Firefox:

These extensions should work, but they haven't been widely tested and are still new.

###Fixes We've addressed various issues in Mediathread's bookmarklet and extensions. Here are the sites we've fixed problems for:

###Infrastructure #####Vimeo We've updated Mediathread's Vimeo player, and now it doesn't require Flash.

#####Django Django library upgraded to 1.8.8.

#####Select2 The Select2 JavaScript selection library has been upgraded to 3.5.4.

#####LTI LTI interaction is ready for its closeup. We are prepping to pilot a course here at Columbia this spring.

  • SSL interactions with Canvas and EdX are now working as expected.
  • LTI Course configuration was reworked to improve the flow. The Mediathread course setting page now allows faculty to enable a course and receive a unique token. The token is then used in the LMS consumer LTI configuration. Improved error handling also prompts users to fix or add configuration options if they are missing.
