alice-teacher Test for Alice 2.4.3

[Deane Fistick]

Hi Don,

I used the Help/Update menu to move from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3 (Software and English Gallery) on my Windows machine. However, the identification number on the opening logo "rectangle" and in the upper left corner of the Alice interface still show "2.4.2 (July 2014)".

Shouldn't those numbers change after the update. How do I know if the updates have actually occurred?

Michael,
This is the only message I can find related to an alice-teachers question of how to easily upgrade from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3 using the help/upgrade software option. Which prompted my response.

I am sorry if I am missing something...

Later,
Don Slater

Sounds like everyone is having an interesting conversation.

One question does come to mind. If a user clicks the help/upgrade software, can it be made to move up from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3? While troubleshooting the program that I posted earlier I had both versions installed to compare results, but don't use the older version anymore.

As far as Tutorials are concerned, I've always considered my brain to be the best source. The little Demo actually required a considerable amount of research and troubleshooting in many topics such as:
- Alice2 Scripting using Python, and Java in Jython format.
- Requesting, Receiving, and Parsing Web Pages.
- Familiarizing myself with the characteristics of the Unicode character set, and discovering which needed features of Alice 2.4.2 did, and didn't, support it.

The reason the file name ended with 5-1 means that it was the fifth major upgrade to success.
In response to Mr. Morales response, I made a few minor changes that might allow Spanish to be used as a source language for requests.

Get 2.4.3 and try it out.
