XVWeb Release Notes
Version 2.1.43 (2019-10-24)
This release has the revamped and retooled 3D Viewer! Some of those new features are described below, but for those of you who are using the 3D viewer, a helper document has been embedded into your first visit of the new viewer. We also have made some changes under the hood, including improved handling of images to greatly reduce those failure-to-load Xs in your displays.
And new to the release notes is a way to help us track the work we do with information we share with you. Thanks for using XVWeb!
