New features in SuperMemo 99 as compared

list (SuperMemo can now be used to import electronic texts from the Internet and
help the user in prioritizing the material, splitting it into manageable portions,
converting it into selections and items or separate reading tasks)
- Introducing the concept of a tasklist (although tasklists are an
underlying concept for reading list management, they can also be used in to-do list
management)
- Tasklist manager for managing
reading lists and tasklists
- Reading list management options for text and rich text
components (queue extract, remember extract, task extract, queue cloze, remember cloze,
etc.)
- Learning in a single branch that
can be resumed between sessions
- Category registry for better
management of a large number of categories
- Templates can be edited in the template registry
- Extended and orthogonal contents

and many more)

after midnight
- New user interface based on four levels
of difficulty: Beginner, Basic, Middle and Professional
- Layout management
- Manual inter-repetition interval adjustment
- Intelligent folder management (no more children overflow

- Merge with template works on compatible types (e.g. HTML,
RTF or text)
- Repetition ceiling to limit the inflow of new material
- Branch rescheduling

8 (as well as import from SuperMemo 6 for DOS
and SuperMemo 7 for Windows)
