• Improved swatches scroll behavior on touch devices.• Added support for devices with both mouse and touch input running Internet Explorer 11 and Edge browser.• Added ability to specify both left and right page with initialframe parameter in portrait mode on mobile devices in eCatalog

viewer.

Bug fixes for Image Serving 5.8.1

• Keyboard tabbing did not get focus on video controls.• In eCatalogs, single/double page layout displayed incorrectly on some devices.

Compatibility notes

• Blackberry

• Incompatibility with older AVS sets. Clients may need to re-upload AVS sets to allow playback.

• General

• Browser side scaling may cause UI and images to become blurry as user zooms into page. UI formatting may also displayincorrectly depending upon zoom. This will carry over to full screen.

• Due to size limitation on mobile devices the Mixed Media Viewer uses slide gesture to swap frames in embedded image setsinstead of tapping the embedded swatches component. The component is there as a visual indicator.

• In Internet Explorer browsers and some touch devices, full screen mode does not occupy entire device screen. Instead, itresizes application to the size of the browser window.

• The Close button does not work iOS 8.0 and 8.1 but no longer occurs in iOS 8.2

• Galaxy SIII

• Memory leak seen with Zoom and eCatalog HTML5 viewers. Repeated navigation through frames may cause browser tocrash.

• Double tap on viewer may cause whole page to zoom instead of just viewer with browser side scaling enabled.

• Galaxy S4

• Device detected as tablet in portrait mode with Full Screen checked in browser settings.

• Galaxy Nexus

• Double tap on viewer may cause whole page to zoom instead of just viewer with browser side scaling enabled.

• Galaxy Nexus 10 and Galaxy Tablet

• eCatalog showing incorrect page spread with portrait and landscape orientations.

• HTC Mobile Devices

• HTC mobile devices our findings show that inability to disable native pinch-zoom is a "feature" of HTC UI wrapper (HTCSense). This may cause whole page to zoom when using "pinch to zoom" gesture on viewer. Suggest using double-tap instead.

• Image map icons may overlap if image maps are small and close together.

• HTML5 Video

• Internet Explorer 9: custom poster images do not display.• IntialBitRate modifier is only supported with software HLS and Flash HDS playback. It does not work when playback

is using the native player.• OGG and WebM progressive playback not supported at this time.• Browser scaling can cause the video player to display at an incorrect size (include Windows OS control panel Display settings)

• Image Serving command crop is not supported at this time.• The Close button works only if the viewer is open in the child window.• The iscommands modifier does not support Image Serving modifiers that affect image size.
