The new version of eDition has been succesfully launched (12/11/09) . Version 4.6 brings many new features and improvements, which make the process of creating publicatins even faster and easier.

Improved working with application

Working with the application is now faster and more efficient. Control over left and right panels has been improved.

Transitions

Transitions are now available in the eDition Viewer as you advance from one page to the next. Beside a basic page-flipping effect, users can chose among a whole new set of transitions like; Fade effect, Photographic, Pixelate, Iris and Blinds. The Transition effect has to be selected in eDition »Parameters« menu.

Single page mode

Pages in the eDition Viewer can now be viewed one page at the time. Advancing from one page to the next can be animated with one of the Transition modes (described above). Single page mode has to be enabled in the  »Prefereces« menu. With this feature your publication can become a true micro-site.

Spreads manipulation

A spread is a set of odd and even pages viewed together. Spreads make the work within application easier as objects positioned on both pages can now be viewed as a whole. To chose Spreads view go to »Details« under »Page properties« section in lower right menu.

New objects manipulation

The component for controling and editing objects on the page has beenupdated. Manipulation of objects is now faster and more efficient.

Advanced sort order

Objects can now be sorted in order. Each object can be moved one step up or down, brought to front and sent to back.

Advanced object editing

Objects can now be edited. Each new object is now seen as a preview image. The preview image can be replaced anytime during editing. Preview image can be shown with a background or transperently.

Advanced video

Video settings can be easily changed by enabeling »Advanced options«. The user can chose among the following parameters: Autoplay, Pause autoplay, Stop on last frame, Repeat movie, Fullscreen button. The same also applies to »Connect with Flash« settings.

CDN network CACHE clear

If a publication is hosted on the CDN network, the casce is now automatically cleared after each change. Changes are visible on CDN servers after just a few minutes.

Segmented Statistics

Statistics can now be tracked for different target groups separately. This feature can  be enabled on demand. Groups are managed on Service pages under the Statistics tab.

Personalisation

Now it is possible to personalise a publication from your clients database. This can be achieved though the use of URL parameters. Tracking of those parameters is automated and shown in Statistics.

New Statistics options
