Version 8.5.0 Changelog (2022-05-12)

WebViewer Core

New

  • Added optimized PDF WebAssembly workers which increase rendering and search performance by 20% on average
  • Improved performance of loading documents with many pages in continuous mode. These documents are no longer automatically opened in single page mode. To disable this functionality and revert to the previous behavior you can use the disableVirtualDisplayMode: true constructor option.
  • Added the ability to snap caption positions of a distance measurement annotation to the left, right and center. The related APIs are getCaptionSnapPostion and setCaptionSnapPostion
  • Added new APIs getScales, createAndApplyScale, replaceScale, and deleteScale to MeasurementManager for managing scales
  • Added performance optimizations for loading images. By default images will be loaded direct to the DOM and only converted to a PDF on demand. This also allows support for .gif/.apng/.avif/.bmp/.webp formats. To load them as a PDF immediately the loadAsPDF: true option can be used.
  • Added support for loading TIFF files directly
  • Updated setAssociatedSignatureAnnotation so that it would automatically show/hide the "sign here" button
  • Added the Core.Scale class to make it easier to work with measurement scales
  • Updated lodash to version 4.17.21
