FlexPaper 2.1.6 Release Notes

19 August 2013

Hope you had a great summer if you are living on the northern hemisphere! We have been keeping ourselves busy with getting a new version of FlexPaper ready. We are releasing our Zine version today (Monday) and we will be updating our Classic version and Annotations version in the next few days.

Have a great start on your week! 

• Issue fixed related to scrolling in portrait on mobile devices where page number was not being updated properly in some scenarios

• FlexPaper Publisher now better optimizes output of image files and converts PNG to JPEG for better compression. Sizes of publications will be greatly reduced because of this

  </span></li>

• Changes to “image quality” now also affects the output of the HTML mode

  </span></li>

• FlexPaper now supports a “dual” mode for rendering documents in HTML5 mode. This mode uses either split mode or single page mode for HTML5 depending on if the server and the browser supports range-requests or not. The following example shows how to use the dual mode manually (please note that JSON file needs to be supplied for the split mode to work in HTML5):
