Here quick quote from the release-notes summary part:
Quote
- krpano 1.21 is a major update with improvements in all areas of krpano.
- In this release, the internals of the layer/hotspot/textfield system are completely new. The system has been redesigned and reworked for better performance and to provide additional possibilities and features.
- The new system provides Automatic Layouts, Editable Textfields, Scaleable Layers, Containers and Textfields, a now built-in Scrollarea, the usage of CSS classes for styling and CSS styles directly defined inside the xml.
- For scene-to-scene navigation there are now nice 3D Transitions with a Motion-Blur effect. They mimic a 3D movement even on normal 2D panos (but can be used on 3D panos too).
A small tool in the VTour Editor for easily creating such 3D Transitions is also included.- The support for 3D-Models and Depthmaps has also been improved. The loading is faster, it is possible to make 3D-Measurements and to use Collision-Detection when moving around in the 3D-Model or the Depthmapped-image.
- Polygonal Hotpots can now be placed also in 3D-Space.
- The Multiresolution loading is significantly faster, especially on fast network connections by better utilizing parallel loading and parallel processing.
- The Actions System has been improved and provides an extended Javascript Support.
- And there are many many detail improvements.
