Version .10 of eXe has been released. The eXe project is developing an off-line authoring environment to assist teachers and academics in the publishing of web content without the need to become proficient in HTML or XML markup. The project is funded by a grant from the Tertiary Education Commission of New Zealand and is led by the Centre for Flexible and Distance Learning at the University of Auckland.

This release has seen the team overcome some significant technical difficulties. Of note in this release are the removal of the Firefox menu bar, the replacement of FCK editor with TinyMCE which includes increased WYSIWYG functionality, the addition of an experimental Cloze iDevice as well as the External Web Site iDevice and an experimental SCORM Quiz iDevice, the ability to change languages has been added (English, German, Chinese, Greek, Spanish are currently available, and the inclusion of a new style. Along with a range of bug fixes this is the strongest release we've had yet and brings some renewed vigour to the project. Expect significant improvements and additions in the following months.
