Today we are releasing the final version of 4.5 from now on there will be no new functionality but continue our work towards greater quality. New in these release notes are also that we display build numbers and we will continue to improve the process of build numbers. But for now if there is a bug found 4.5 it might not exist in 4.4 we will figure our a way to handle the version number between major versions but for now all notes are in one.
Also for you that are not familiar with 4.5 we have some exciting news about functionality in this version. We will blog about them in detail in the future and last posts have actually been about 4.5 functionality.
The release notes are available on the agresso extranet
Main features in 4.5

Handling sessions with only one participant
In my next blog abut handling health checks in the portal part 2 I will go in more detail about the new feature of letting a employee or manager set up individual visits to i.e a doctor and handle that in the portal.
Tracking of correct answers scorm
If you are using scorm and 4.5 there is now a possibility to send mails to employees or i.e manager when they complete a scorm course telling them what questions went wrong etc. It also enables you as a customer to purchase reports to benchmark complete courses.
