February 2019 Release Notes

Release date: 20th February 2019

Next release: 2nd April 2019

Enhancements:

Separate HTML and SVG Releases BuildVu is now available as BuildVu-HTML and BuildVu-SVG

[HTML-3188] - Write out annotations as JSON and add support in SVG modes
Annotations are now written out as JSON in all modes. The IDRViewer now loads and displays annotations stored inside the JSON file. This also means that annotations are now supported when converting to SVG as well as to HTML. We will continue to improve this functionality in upcoming releases.

[HTML-3225] - IDRViewer Localization in Complete UI
The Complete UI now supports localization for different languages based on the language preferences set in the user’s web browser. English and Japanese are the languages currently supported and we are happy to add other languages if you would like to help with translations.

[HTML-3226] - Use <nav> tags in Complete UI
Sidebar and nav bar elements now use nav tags to help search engines understand the content
