Were pleased to announce a new version of our open-source document image viewer, Diva.js. Diva.js is especially suited for use in rare and archival book digitization initiatives where viewing high-resolution images can show even the smallest detail present on the physical object. Using Diva, libraries, archives, and museums can present high-resolution document page images in an instant-on interface with a user-friendly interface that has been optimized for speed and flexibility.
New features in Diva.js 3.0:
Several speed optimizations Documents load and scroll faster.
In-browser (JavaScript) image manipulation Adjust page brightness, contrast, and rotation.
Improved mobile device support Tap and pinch to navigate through documents.
Horizontal orientation Switch between the default vertical page layout and a horizontal scrolling layout.
Events system Allows you to pass streaming data from the document viewer into your own website and plugins.
Improved and updated documentation: https://github.com/DDMAL/diva.js/wiki.
A new website.
Numerous of bug fixes.
