In many cases the same code can be used. o There are new interface functions for accessing the krpano internal data structures (Arrays, Objects, Setter/Getters ...). o No need for a "krpano_as3_interface.as" and no global single krpano instance anymore. o Documentation and Examples: http://krpano.com/docu/plugininterface/ * Improved HTML5 Support o Improved Plugin/Hotspot Parent/Child System o Distorted Hotspots o Videoplayer Plugin o Sound-Interface Plugin o Combobox Plugin o Radar Plugin o Improved Textfield Plugin o Gyro Plugin from Aldo Hoeben o Improved Rendering performance when moving or scaling plugin/hotspot elements o iPhone/iPad-Simulator for testing krpano iPhone/iPad layouts * Improved Multi-Device Support o The "devices" attribute can now be used on all xml tags. o Defines on which devices this xml element should be used. When the current device doesn't match with the settings in devices attribute then this xml node and all its sub-nodes will be skipped. o Several device options can be combined by logical operators. The '|' character can be used as OR operator, the '+' character as AND operator, and the '!' character as NOT operator. o The supported options for the "devices" attribute are: + all - use this element on all devices (default) + flash - use this element only in the krpano Flashplayer viewer (Desktop and Android Flashplayer) + html5 - use this element only in the krpanoJS (HTML5) viewer + iphone - use this element only on the iPhone (and iPod Touch) + ipad - use this element only on the iPad + retina - use this element only on high resolution retina displays + iOS## - use this element only when the iOS version is higher than ## + android - use this element only on an Android devices + desktop - use this element only on Desktop (Flash and HTML5) + mobile - use this element only on Mobiles + tablet - use this element only on Tablets + touchdevice - use this element only on Touch devices + gesturedevice - use this element only on Gesture devices o The current device can also be checked dynamically by action code by these global variables: + isflash - true only in the Flashplayer (Desktop and Android) + ishtml5 - true only in the krpanoJS (HTML5) viewer + isphone - true only on the iPhone 3/4 (and iPod Touch) + ispad - true only on the iPad + isandroid - true only on Android devices + isdesktop - true only on Desktop (Flash and HTML5) viewer + ismobile - true only on an iPhone/iPod and on Android Mobile + istablet - true only on an iPad and on Android Tablet devices + istouchdevice - true only on Touch devices (iPhone,iPad,Android) + isgesturedevice - true only on Gesture (Multi-Touch) devices + iosversion - the iOS version o Android Mobile/Tablet Detection On Android there is no real and reliable way to detected if an Android device is a Mobile Phone or a Tablet Device - so krpano uses the diagonal screen size as decision: When the screen size is... ... smaller than 6 inch then the device will be detected as Mobile. ... bigger than 6 inch then the device will be detected as Tablet. Notes About Android 3.* Tablets + The krpanoJS HTML5 viewer is now also ready for Android 3.* Tablets (when using the setting useHTML5("always") during embedding it could be already tested). The controls (including Multi-Touch) are working but the current Android Chrome Browser has still some graphic errors with the CSS 3D transforms (which can be only fixed by Google), so there is currently no automatic HTML5 usage on Android for the moment. * XML Encryption for Flash and HTML5 * XML Encryption for HTML5 Javascript Plugins o There is a new encryption system available which works for the krpano Flash AND for the krpano HTML5 viewer. o It's possible to encrypt xml files and additionally also Javascript plugin files. o At the moment there is only a 'public-key' encryption available, this means the encrypted files can be loaded and used by anyone, only their content is protected, a 'private-key' encryption where the key is binded to the license-key will come soon. o To encrypt the files the "krpano Protect Tool" or the kencrypt tool can be used. * Direct support for Panoramic videos (no special viewer version anymore) o Panoramic videos can now be loaded and controlled by videoplayer plugin and shown by the viewer. o The syntax is simple - define a normal element with a sphere or cylindrical image and use "plugin:video" as url, where "video" is the name of the videoplayer plugin. * New independent Event handlers (via named '' elements) o Additionally to the global xml element it is possible to define own and independent elements. When a event will be dispatched then all elements that have this event will be called. o These named elements have also a "keep" attribute like or elements. That means without keep="true" the element will be removed when loading a new pano. o With these named it's now possible to write xml or flash/js plugins that can listen to the krpano events without overwriting any other events in the xml. * New shorter xml syntax for cubical images o Instead of defining the urls for all sides separately it's now also possible to define the cube urls by a single line and using %s as placeholder for the cube side character. o Example syntax: (the "%s" will be replaced by "l,f,r,b,u,d") * New Actions, Parameters, new Events and new Variables o loadpano() action + The current elements will be removed when loading a new xml file. + To keep the scenes there is a new loading flag - KEEPSCENES. o New actions for looping / repeating actions: + for(startaction, condition, nextaction, loopaction) + asyncfor(startaction, condition, nextaction, loopaction) + loop(condition, loopaction) + asyncloop(condition, loopaction) o New Math object for mathematical constants and actions: + Math.PI + Math.abs(var) or Math.abs(result,v) + Math.acos(var) or Math.acos(result,v) + Math.asin(var) or Math.asin(result,v) + Math.atan(var) or Math.atan(result,v) + Math.atan2(result,a,b) + Math.ceil(var) or Math.ceil(result,v) + Math.cos(var) or Math.cos(result,v) + Math.exp(var) or Math.exp(result,v) + Math.floor(var) or Math.floor(result,v) + Math.log(var) or Math.log(result,v) + Math.max(var,var2) or Math.max(result,...vars) + Math.min(var,var2) or Math.min(result,...vars) + Math.pow(var,var2) or Math.pow(result,v1,v2) + Math.round(var) or Math.round(result,v) + Math.sin(var) or Math.sin(result,v) + Math.sqrt(var) or Math.sqrt(result,v) + Math.tan(var) or Math.tan(result,v) o The InOut and OutIn tween types (except easeInOutQuad) were externalized to the "moretweentypes" plugin. o Text-processing actions: + indexoftxt(dstvar,txt,searchtxt,startindex=0) # look for the offset from one text inside another text + subtxt(dstvar,srcvar,start,len) # action for extracting a part of text / variable (like the J avascript/Flash substr() function) o Optional 'non-blocking' lookto() action: + lookto(h,v,fov*,motiontype*,shortestway*,[nonblocking,donecall]*) # when "nonblocking" is set to true then the lookto action will be processed 'non-blocking' like a tween action # and when the lookto is done then the optional "donecall" action will be called o When looktohotspot() will be called without parameters from a hotspot event then automatically 'lookto' to current hotspot. o The tween motion types are now also available for the lookto() actions. Syntax: "tween(tweentype,time)" o New tween update callback function: + tween(var,dst,time,done,updatefu) + the updatefu code will be called after every variable change o The tween actions are now using the "actionintervalbase" setting (that means they are more time accurate by default). o New "autoalpha" setting for plugin and hotspot elements - when set to "true", then visible will be automatically set to "false" when alpha is 0.0 and set back to "true" when alpha is bigger then 0.0. o New "debugmode" variable/setting. (true or false, default=false). The trace(0,...) messages from plugins or other AS3/JS code will be only shown when this variable is set to true. o New "control.touchtype" variable for touch devices (iPhone/iPad/ Android). Possible values = "drag2d" or "moveto", default="drag2d". o New "control.mouseyfriction" variable to control the sensitive of the vertical movement in the moveto control mode. o The "invalidatescreen()" action will now reset the idletime counter. o Architectural projection - smoother architectural to normal transition at nadir/zenith. o New "control.camrollreset" variable (true or false, default=true) to disable the resetting of the camroll in moveto / drag2d control mode. o The HIGHSHARP post-processing sharpening strengh is now adjustable via the "display.sharpen" variable (values from 0-14, default=12). o The default value for the "actionintervalbase" is now "timer" (like in HTML5 where no real frame-rate exists). o New variables and actions for pixel accurate plugin or hotspot sizes: + pixelwidth / pixelheight variables (read-only) these variables contain the final pixel size of the element, but note - they don't get updated immediately when changing the normal width/height/scale variables - the update happens after a screen refresh or when calling the updatepos() action of the element. + imagewidth / imageheight variables (read-only) these variables contain the original unscaled pixel size of the loaded image, this informations are first available after the onloaded event. + updatepos() action for updating / recalculating the position and size of the plugin/hotspot element immediately (the pixelwidth/ pixelheight variables will be updated after this call) o New plugin/hotspot "pixelhittest" variable (true or false, default=false) for enabling a pixel accurate hit testing which respects the transparency of the image instead of using the bounding box, but note - use this setting with care! this pixel hit-test is a much heavier operation than the normal/default bounding box check! o New "maskchildren" setting for plugin and hotspots elements - when set to true then all child elements that are outside of the parent element will be clipped/masked out. o New Events: + onviewchanged - this event will be called after the view update, in difference - the "onviewchange" will be called before and allow changing the view before final rendering. + onnewpano - this event will be called when there is a new pano image and all informations (type,imagesize,hfov,vfov) about it are available. + onremovepano - this event will be called when the current pano will be removed (e.g. before loading a new pano). o New "events.dispatch(eventname)" action for dispatching / calling the events from all currently defined events tags. Dispatching any custom events is also possible! Changes / Fixes - FLASH (krpano.swf) * The loadpano/loadscene/loadxml action can now be called anytime (no "loadpano busy" warnings anymore). * Fix: the onxmlcomplete, onpreviewcomplete, onloadcomplete, onnewpano and onremovepano events are now processed in the right order. * Fix: the onresize events is now called in the right order when using preload="true" for an element in a new loaded pano. * The progress bar animations are now inside the pano area by default, to get the old behavior with the progress bar at the stage level back use parent="STAGE" for the element. * Fix: When calling action code that was stored in variables or attributes then following actions were executed in the wrong order. * Fix: The action execution could be wrong in some situations after loadpano/loadscene/loadxml calls. * Fix: The named "onviewchange" events will now be called also without global "onviewchange" event. (bug only in beta/rc versions). * Show a Warning when switching to Fullscreen Mode is not possible because of a missing "allowFullscreen" embedding parameter. * Fix: When changing the url of a parent plugin element then the new loaded image was be shown above the children elements. * Better Mobile-Flashplayer detection (Android, Blackberry, ...). * Fix: The default "view.fovtype" on Android is now also "MFOV" (like on iPhone/iPad). * Fix: When fov and range limits in partial panos cause endless updating and high processor loads. * Fix: When using video panos via - url="plugin:video" - and the xml was located in a different folder the loading of the video failed. * Fix: No crash/hang anymore when using a 0x0 sized pano area. * Now there is "unknown tweentype" warning when trying to use a tweentype that doesn't exist. * Fix: The plugin size was wrong in the plugin register event (bug only in beta/rc versions). * Fix: The lookto action with an enabled shortway setting wasn't working correctly for partial panos. * Fix: Reloading embedded files could fail when they were removed from the internal cache. * The updateobject() action updates now also the prealign setting. * Fix: The scene onstart actions weren't working correctly when there were '&' or '=' characters in the onstart action code. * Fix: Calling txtadd() with non-existent variable as destination is possible now. * Fix: The plugin.changeorigin() action works now also for "prop" sizes. * Fix: The "qtvr.preview" setting was ignored. * Fix: plugin and hotspot elements had the wrong size when their size was defined with width="" or height="" in the xml. * Fix: The lookto / looktohotspot / moveto action don't work correctly on partial panos (they were trying to take the short way around the 360 degree wrap-around when possible). * Fix: Problem with autorotate and partial panos or view limiting. * When using a maxpixelzoom setting together with very small images which would cause view limiting to extreme wide-angles then automatically disable the maxpixelzoom setting and limit the view to fov=90. * Fix: The HIGHSHARP display quality mode is now always working. * Fix: The lookto actions were not moving right when using atv coordinates outside the -90 to +90 range. * Fix: Calling actions like "element[get(...)].action(...)" - that means actions from an array element and using get() inside the array index were not possible. * Fix: When loading the same file two times at the same time and break loading one file (e.g. because of removing a plugin or hotspot) then the other file never completes loading. * Added support for the "crop" usage also for distorted hotspots. * Fix: Reset the hovering status to false when changing the url for a plugin or hotspot element. * Fix: When using preload="true" and changing the url of a plugin or hotspot then the following actions could fail. * Fix: The screentosphere and spheretoscreen actions were working wrong when they are were called before the first pano rendering. * Added an 'align' setting with pixel offsets to "looping()" progress animation function. * The default-xml will be now loaded from the same folder as the swf file, instead of the folder of the html file. * Fix: The if() action was working wrong when one of the comparing variable-names contains a EQ,LT,LE,GT,GE strings (uppercase only). * The display.currentfps variable returns now a more accurate framerate. * Fix: The release of keyboard keys and mouse buttons was not detected when the window loses the focus or becomes inactive. * Fix: On Android the mobile/tablet image detection was not working for the new syntax. * New "tweenintervalbase" setting to change the intervalbase for tween animations separately. * Fix: Wrong license error when embedded into Adobe AIR apps. * Fix: The onover, onhover, onout, onclick events for radar plugin are working now (this caused also an update of the editor plugin). * Fix: The "no menubar" setting is now working also after switching back from fullscreen mode. * Fix: Avoid viewer crashes when wrongly using numbers as names for plugin / hotspot / lensflare elements. * Fix: Removed the initial step in the lensflare blending. * Fix: Placeholders for urls. * Fix: There was no "onnewpano" event when using QTVR files. * Fix: Absolute paths fix for loadpano() calls. * Fix: Check the plugin/hotspot variables width, height, x, y, ox, oy for valid values. Invalid values will set the variables to 'null'. * Fix: Rotate normal hotspots too when 'view.camroll' is used. * Allow 'flying' also for non-distorted hotspots. * The old 'autopos' and 'autoscale' settings for plugin elements were removed. * Fix: Paths with placeholders and following /../ sub folders. * Fix: 'idletime' testing also for user interaction outside the pano. Changes / Fixes - HTML5 (krpanoJS / krpanoiphone.js) * Support for Distorted Hotspots Notes / Limitations: o The "zorder" should be between 0 and 100. o The distorted hotspots are always 'behind' the normal hotspots, mixing the order of distorted and normal hotspots is not possible. o There might be problems on some iOS 3.* (iPod) devices. There the CSS 3D transforms are partially buggy. * Support for the "bgcolor" and "wmode" embedding parameters. When wmode="transparent" or "opaque" then the viewer background will be transparent. And with the "bgcolor" parameter it is possible to set a different background color - the default color is "#000000" (=Black). * New "simulatedevice" variable that must be set during embedding to allow simulating an iPhone or iPad with their settings, images sizes and scalings. Possible settings are "iphone", "ipad" or "useragent" - when "useragent" is used then the current browser useragent will be used. This setting is used in the krpano iPhone/iPad layout simulator. * New "iosversion" variable to allow checking the iOS version dynamically. * Fix: The loadpano/loadscene/loadxml action can now be called anytime. * Fix: the onxmlcomplete, onpreviewcomplete, onloadcomplete, onnewpano and onremovepano events are now processed in the right order. * Fix: The action execution could be wrong in some situations after loadpano/loadscene/loadxml calls. * Fix: When calling action code that was stored in variables or attributes then following actions were executed in the wrong order. * Fix: The view was set back to the default settings when loading a new pano without MERGE flag. * Improved: The HTML5 'Fullscreen' (=Fullwindow) mode works now in more situations. * Fix: The lookto action with shortway parameter was wrong (bug only in beta/rc versions). * Fix: When the krpano log was opened because of an error then the area for detection the closing gesture was still in 'open' detection mode. * Improved: Better Textfield Plugin Support: o improved css to html assignments o correct autosize height calculation o remove the too big margin on

elements o avoid automatic scaling when using 0.*em font sizes o correct "roundedge" scaling on iPhone/iPad o improved autosize calculation o more accurate font size scaling o internal escaping/unescaping bugfix o added supported for "backgroundalpha" o parent support * Fix: The "onviewchange" event was called after rendering the pano but it should be called before rendering to allow changing the view. * The "control.usercontrol" setting is now also support on HTML5, possible settings are "all" or "mouse" or "off". * Fix: Reset viewing limits when loading a new pano. * Fix: The demo logo no longer click-able on desktop. * When two viewer instances were trying to use the same ID (like "krpanoSWFObject") then the viewer uses automatically an new ID instead of failing to load. * Fix: hotspot with percent (%) scaling had the wrong size. * Fix: setting the parent for elements failed when the elements were defined in the wrong order. * Fix: iPhone4 and iOS5 - redraw graphics issues. * Fix: iOS5 floating point precision for positions and sizes. * Fix: iOS5 cube-edges fixes when using a non 1:1 page scaling. * Fix: The hotspot "edge" setting was ignored. * Fix: wrong movements when using - touchtype="moveto" - and doing gesture zooming at the same time. * Fix: The hotspots were scaled wrong on the iPhone. * Fix: updatescreen() and invalidatescreen() actions are now forcing a pano redraw. * Fix: plugin and hotspots images with parentheses characters in the url name were loaded correctly without errors but were not shown. * Fix: Javascript error when using if() without any parameters. * Now there is "unknown tweentype" warning when trying to use a tweentype that doesn't exist. * Added support for architectural projection. * Added support for the "showerrors" setting. * Fix: Several %SWFPATH% fixes. * Fix: The viewing limits when using limitview="range" were wrong. * Fix: catch and report Javascript errors when calling the js() action. * Increased iPod4 stability by limiting and automatically down-sampling the max. cubesize to 640x640 (the iPod 4 has too few memory for a stable use of 1024x1024 cube faces). * Fix: Interrupting works now also when clicking plugin or hotspots elements. * Fix: Detect mouse releases also outside an iframe. * Use automatically downscaled images when there are no or too large images available on iPhone 3, iPod 2/3. * Fix: Crash/Hang when using the textfield plugin witout "htmlcode" setting. * Textfield plugin - using the "data:dataname" syntax to load the content from elements is now possible for the "htmlcode" and "csscode" settings (like in Flash). * Fix: Problem with xml paths that contain slashes or # characters. * Fix: The plugin.changeorigin() action works now also for "prop" sizes. * Fix: Visible seam fix when using tiled images. * Added support for KEEPVIEW flag. * Support for mouse.x, mouse.y, mouse.stagex and mouse.stagey variables. * Fix: The "onloaded" event was called even when the plugin/hotspot element was already removed. * Fix: When using "rotate" for plugin elements they rotate around the wrong anchor point. * Fix: In the looktohotspot() action the "fov" parameter was missing internally - that means all parameters were shifted one left. * Fix: The lookto actions were not moving right when using atv coordinates outside the -90 to +90 range. * Fix: Calling actions like "element[get(...)].action(...)" - that means actions from an array element and using get() inside the array index were not possible. * Fix: There was a wrong loading error when changing the url of the plugin or hotspot element was changeing during loading and the old url was invalid. * Fix: The if() action was working wrong when one of the comparing variable-names contains a EQ,LT,LE,GT,GE strings (uppercase only). * Fix: Double events.onmouseup calling on Desktop. * The "area.pixel*" variables are there available for reading. * Fix: The "events.onresize" event will now be only called when the pixel size really changes. * Fix: Invisible hotspots after several quick and overlapping loadpano / loadscene / loadxml calls with blending. * Fix: The 'vars' parameter in the loadpano / loadscene / loadxml calls was causing various problems. * Fix: Avoid viewer crashes when wrongly using numbers as names for plugin / hotspot / lensflare elements. * Fix: Avoid viewer crash when using invalid values as lookto destination. * Fix: Display bug when fovmin is wrongly bigger than fovmax. * Fix: combobox.js plugin - closing of the combobox when clicking outside the pano frame. * Fix: 'cross-domain' iframe embedding is working now. There will be one "Unsafe JavaScript attempt" browser error because of the test if the top window is accessible (this is not avoidable) but then will be no further errors. But note - when using krpano inside a iframe on a different domain, events like a button release outside the iframe can't be detected! * Fix: Check the plugin/hotspot variables width, height, x, y, ox, oy for valid values. Invalid values will set the variables to 'null'. * Fix: Rotate normal hotspots too when 'view.camroll' is used. * Fix: When using empty values for parent (e.g. parent="") settings, then the child element never appeared. * Fix: Many textfield plugin improvements (autosize, parent, styles). * Fix: Short 'flicker' when switching hotspot distortion. * Added hotspot 'inverserotation' support. * New experimental "display.hardwarelimit" and "display.usedesktopimages" settings for testing higher resolution images in the HTML5 viewer. Embedding Script (swfkrpano.js) * Pass the User-Agent of the browser to krpano in the "browser.useragent" variable. * Pass the "wmode" paramater also to krpanoJS viewer (when wmode="transparent" or wmode="opaque" then no background will be drawn). * Added support for the "bgcolor" parameter for createkrpanoJSviewer, createPanoViewer, embedPanoViewer and embedpano embedding functions. * New "useHTML5" parameter for the embedpano and createPanoViewer functions. * New "vars" object to pass viewer variables for the embedpano function. * New "wmode" setting for the embedpano function. * Embedding the krpanoJS viewer dynamically (via Javascript code) is now possible when the licenses are embedded into the .js file or when the krpanoJS license files were included manually into the html file. * New automatic HTML5 fallback when there is no Flashplayer installed, but a Safari Browser available (good for new Macs without pre-installed Flashplayer). * Removed useHTML5("whenpossible") support for Chrome (the CSS 3D transforms are buggy in the current Chrome versions). * Fix: the "addParam" function was not available in the 1.0.8.12 version and caused a Javascript error when trying to use it during embedding the krpanoJS viewer.

mod(var1,var2) => var1 = var1 % var2 - IE/Flashplayer recursive resize bug workaround - empty urls endless loading bugfix - video hotspot width/height settings bugfix - soundinterface - paused sound looping fix TOOLS Droplets: (available for Windows and Mac) - MAKE PANO (MULTIRES) - build automatic multi-resolution panoramas - spherical images will be automatically converted to cubical - used config file: kmakemultires.config - MAKE PANO (NORMAL) - build non-tiled, non-multi-resolution, 'normal' panoramas - spherical images will be automatically converted to cubical - the default maximum cubesize is 2200 pixels - used config file: templates/normal.config - MAKE PANO (TILED) - only tile the panoramic images, no multi-resolution - spherical images will be automatically converted to cubical - used config file: templates/tiled.config - MAKE PANO (FLAT) - a especially for flat images optimized config/template - build flat multi-resolution, zoom-able images - full image view at the beginning - drag2D, drag-cursor and zoomtocursor enabled by default - the 'star' button will 'zoomout' to return to the initial view - used config file: templates/flat.config - MAKE PANO (SINGLE-SWF) - build a single all-in-one swf file - spherical images will be automatically converted to cubical - the default maximum cubesize is 2200 pixels - used config file: templates/singleswf.config - MAKE PANO (SINGLE-SWF-TILED) - build a single all-in-one swf - the panoramic image will be tiled for progressive loading - spherical images will be automatically converted to cubical - used config file: templates/singleswftiled.config - MAKE PANO (SINGLE-SWF-MULTIRES) - build a single all-in-one swf - the panoramic image will be tiled for progressive loading, - the number of levels will be limited to 2, more levels make more sense for dynamic (not embedded) loading, - spherical images will be automatically converted to cubical - used config file: templates/singleswfmultires.config - MAKE OBJECT (MULTIRES) - build a multi-resolution object movie - just drop a numbered collection of images on the droplet - used config file: templates/object.config - MAKE MULTIFRAME (MULTIRES) - build a multi-resolution and multi-frame pano - just drop a numbered collection of pano (spherical or cubical ones) on the droplet - spherical images will be automatically converted to cubical - used config file: templates/multiframe.config - MAKE PREVIEW (CUBESTRIP) - build a cubestrip preview image - support 1 spherical image or the 6 cubical faces as input - SPHERE to CUBE (JPEG) - convert spherical images to the 6 cube faces (saved as jpeg) - edit the droplet (with any text editor in Windows, or with the Apple Scripteditor in Mac) to change the jpeg compression settings - SPHERE to CUBE (TIFF) - convert spherical images to the 6 cube faces (saved as tiff) - CUBE to SPHERE (TIFF) - convert the 6 cubical faces back to a spherical image better quality for the ktransform and kcube2sphere tools - bicubic interpolation is used now by default - as result the transformed images are sharper but the processing is a bit slower, to get the old speed use the "-fast" command line parameter 64bit versions of all command line tools - faster image processing - especially on large images when more than 2gb ram is installed new html/js templates: - swfkrpano.html and swfkrpano.js (the default now) - it's a combination of the swfobject 1.5 and swfkrpanomouse.js script plus a small addition for easier swf->html embedding - advantages: - only one external script file (faster loading) - easier embedding (the flash, fullscreen, mousewheel settings will be automatically set) - inlinejs.html - the same like swfkrpano.html and swfkrpano.js but the script is in-lined into the html file - no external js file - easier handling (only the html and the swf file) kcube2sphere tool - better transforming quality - fewer memory need - memory management (can process images that don't fit in memory) ktransfrom tool - better transforming quality - support also partial panoramic images (360x*) kencrypt tool (new) - a command line tool to encrypt external files - more details on "encryption" kprotectcl tool (new) - kprotect command line tool - build protected swf files with embedded files from command line or a script kmakemultires tool - integrated sphere-to-cube conversion (optional,customizable) - integrated files to swf embedding (with automatic lookat depending tiles sorting) - automatic license/swf copying - automatic license/swf renaming - filename/cubeside detection bugfixes - manual "-panotype=partialsphere" setting (hfov setting needed too) - optimized automatic tilesize calculation - new xml/html templates - new html template placeholders: [NAME], [SWF], [XML] - new xml template placeholders: [PREVIEW], [IMAGE], [HLOOKAT], [VLOOKAT], [PARTIALPANO] kprotect gui tool - reworked gui - improved xml parsing and better file reference detection - improved automatic file sorting - more options for embedded files - project loading/saving - file encryption - standalone size customizable all tools - support for tiff files from Photoshop that are larger than 2gb - support for 16bit tiff files (read/write) - jpeg reading bugfixes encryption - encrypt external files with kencrypt or the kprotect tools - only a 'protected' swf can load these encrypted files - how does it work? - the encryption key is generated from the tools license - note - the krpano/tools licenses are personalized and individually for every user, so every key is individually too - the key is divided into two parts - one part is stored in the protected swf file - and one part in the encrypted file - so only the protected swf can decrypt the files ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.0.8 beta 9 VIEWER: - Flash10 support - automatically use of the new Flash10 rendering possibilities - without a Flashplayer 10 the standard Flash9 rendering is used - Flash10 allows a perfect 3D distorted drawing of "flat/linear" 3D images - for optimal quality and performance use cubical panorama images - the usage of Flash10 can be set/switched dynamically - for spherical and fisheye distorted panoramas the usage of Flash9 rendering is recommended for better performance - new parameters for - flash10="on|off" - enable/disable Flash10 usage - movequality10="HIGH" - move quality setting for Flash10 - stillquality10="HIGH" - still quality setting for Flash10 - these parameters have no effect when using Flashplayer9 - direct support for QUICKTIME QTVR (.mov) files (at the moment only cubical) - xml usage: - the "setview" attribute can be used to enable the using of the view settings from the mov file - direct support of ZOOMIFY images (ImageProperties.xml) - xml usage: - with setview="true" the default view parameters are changed to fisheye="0" and view.maxpixelzoom="0.95" - new '%g' (=group) parameter for the tiles paths, this allows using zoomify tiles manually - supports PARTIAL and CYLINDER panorama images - new attributes - hfov - horizontal field of view of the pano image (default=360) - vfov - vertical field of view of the pano image ( (default=automatically calculated) - voffset - vertical offset to align a not centered partial pano - note - the preview image can/will be also partial - support for 2x3 or 3x2 cubestrip images - "strip" attribute - ordering from lefttop to rightbottom - Pannini Projection - view.pannini="true|false" - view.stereographic and view.fisheye must be also set to get an effect - new "progressive" loading - for multi-resolution / Zoomify panoramas - one level after the other will be loaded down to the current view - the image becomes sharper and sharped with each level - the loading can be slower because more tiles must be loaded - enable/disable it in the tag with the "progressive" attribute - default="false", only for Zoomify it's "true" by default - "view.maxpixelzoom" - can be used instead of "view.fovmin" - the limitation of the zoom will depend of the image size of the panorama - "maxpixelzoom" set the maximum zoom of the original image that is allowed e.g. maxpixelzoom="1.0" will allow a maximum zooming to an 1:1 view - "view.fovtype" - sets the type of the fov value: - VFOV - vertical field of view (default) - HFOV - horizontal field of view - DFOV - diagonal field of view - MFOV - max. field of view (either vertical or horizontal fov) - "view.limitview" - new limitview modes: "fullrange" and "offrange" - "fullranges" - limits the zooming and moving range to the full image - "offrange" - limits only the moving range to the full image - e.g. - xml parsing changes: - all attributes that begin or end with "url" are now automatically parsed as urls, - if the url was relative, it was made relative to the xml in which it was declared - new internal caching - all elements will be automatically cached - e.g. when one image is used several times it will be downloaded only once - variables: - network.caching = true|false - network.cachesize = 7 (MB) - as xml: - logkey="false" - disables now also the debugging keys (note - these keys are only available in the beta version) - "prealign" parameter to rotate/align the panoramic image, - usage: - example: - auto-detection of preview image type when no "type" was defined - "SPHERE","CYLINDER" or "CUBESTRIP" - a new concept to store more panoramas in one xml file: - there can be more nodes in one xml - a scene will be identified by it's name - in every node all krpano sub nodes can be used e.g. , , , , ... - a scene is handled like a new external xml file - load a scene via loadscene(): - loadscene(scenename,parameters*,flags*,blend*,onstart*) - scenename - the name of the scene - * all other optional parameters are the same like in the loadpano/loadxml actions - with using the "keep" attribute and the MERGE load flag it is possible to mix global and local parts (e.g. plugins) - a can have it's own onstart event e.g. - new
