A new SKP parameter, enable_java_free_content, has been added to control the display of Java-free content in Skillport. The settings are as follows:
0 (Disabled): Both Java-free and Java-dependent content is visible to learners.
1 (Enabled): Java-dependent content, that has not been previously assigned, is hidden from learners, and Java-dependent content displays in the Skillport Administrator with a Java icon.
2 (Highlight only): Java-dependent content displays in the Skillport Administrator with a Java icon, but Java-dependent content is not hidden from learners.
The file upload functionality in Skillport was updated so that it no longer uses a Java applet and is now Java free. In addition, the minimum image file size you can upload has increased to 5 MB.
