OIO-0.9.4a released, fixed Regular expression template

0.9.4a is a bug fix release. Regular expression template introduced in 0.9.4 did not work with Netscape browser and related faulty template code was released. The regular expression template module has been fixed and now works.

Following the introduction of XML metadata import and export in 0.9.3, oio-0.9.4 is the newest feature-enhancement release. It now allows the incorporation of Java Applets into web-forms for data input without programming. The new Visual Analog Scale form element is based on this feature.

The second major enhancement is client-side validation through Regular Expression (template). Now, the entire process of using Javascript to validate user input is automated.

The third major added feature is data merging and drill-down querying across Forms (and versions). This is the beginnings of adding data mining and statistical tools to future releases of the OIO.

New Features:

Applet integration: Visual Analog scale,

Regular expression template,

Online help for Forms and Patients screens,

Data merging across forms (and versions),

Drill-down data mining,

Integrated examples during itemtype definition
