FlexPaper 2.2.2 Release notes

20 January 2014

We hope everybody had a good start on their new year! This release was initially planned to contain our new offline publishing capabilities but due to bugs in the latest Google Chrome browser’s javascript engine (Chrome 32) which we had to work around in order to maintain stability, we decided to push this release into production without the offline capabilities. Google will most likely fix these issues soon but we felt the need to respond quickly to make sure you don’t have to wait for Google’s fix. You will only be affected by the bugs in Chrome if you have published your document in html5 mode.

Offline publishing through Desktop Publisher will be made available at the end of January/ beginning of February.

How to update:
This release does not require you to republish any of your documents so if you want to install the update without republishing your documents then simply copy and replace the following resources from the distribution file that you are using:

  • FlexPaperViewer.swf
  • js/     (directory)
  • css/    (directory)
