FlowPaper 2.5.0 Release Notes
25 October 2016
Our newest release of our Desktop Publisher is here! We’re especially excited to finally announce version 2.5.0 as it includes things that we know many of you have been requesting for quite a while. The big item in version 2.5.0 is that it supports integrated cloud hosting which will allow you to upload and share publications using our cloud service (powered by Amazon S3 + CloudFlare). This service was built with the people in mind who do not have any hosting set up yet or simply do not want to set up their own hosting to share their publications. You’ll find this new method for sharing your publications after clicking on the “Publish” button in the top right corner of the desktop publisher. You can find more details about this service on our download page.
