Brain 2/2.5

More info

1996* - 2010

Status: Dead (Support, No Maintenance, No Development)

Development Language: ActionScript 2

Backwards Compatibility: N/A

Notes

• This version is officially dead; there are no benefits for its use that are not outweighed by the cost of supporting it (note - Telus language switching courses are the only exception)
• No course should be developed using brain 2 or 2.5 going forward.
• Old courses that come back for updates should be migrated to brain 3, as the conversion takes about a day, but saves many days in support going forward.
