  <dt>7.1.2011</dt>
  <dd>A new File release (1.8.3). Much internal code has been rewritten and
  cleaned up. There is a new PDF-generation Servlet (in beta) that generates
  PDF files from arbitrary images (try
  /digitallibrary/servlet/PDFCache?fn=path/to/images&amp;pgs=1-3&amp;dh=1000)!<br/>
  SVG rendering (which never worked properly) and some other old stuff has
  been removed. Some library dependencies have changed, check your setup
  when upgrading.
  </dd>

  <dt>15.7.2010</dt>
  <dd>Source code development moved to a <a

  the <a
  href="http://developer.berlios.de/hg/?group_id=251">instructions</a> to

  <dd>A new File release (1.7.0) and updates to the <a href="http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/digilib/config/build.xml">Ant build

  P.S. Please note that
  <a href="http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/digilib/servlet/src/digilib/servlet/Scaler.java?view=log">a lot happens</a>
  in between file releases. Check out from CVS to be up to date.
  </dd>

<h2>What is <tt>digilib</tt></h2>

<ul>
<li><tt>digilib</tt> is a web based client/server technology for images.
  The image content is processed on-the-fly by a Java Servlet on
  the server side so that only the visible portion of the image is sent
  to the web browser on the client side.
</li>
<li><tt>digilib</tt> supports a wide range of image formats and viewing options on
  the server side while only requiring an internet browser with
  javascript and a low bandwidth internet connection on the client side.
</li>
<li><tt>digilib</tt> enables very detailed work on an image as required by
  scientists with elaborate zoom features like an option to show images
  on the screen in their original size.
</li>
<li><tt>digilib</tt> facilitates cooperation of scientists over the internet and
  novel uses of source material by image annotations and stable
  references that can be embedded in URLs.
</li>
<li><tt>digilib</tt> is used in the <a href="http://penelope.unibe.ch/docuserver/echo/alcatraz/index3.html" >ALCATRAZ</a> framework of image, text and
  annotation tools and many other projects.
</li>
<li><tt>digilib</tt> is Open Source Software under the General Public
  License, jointly developed by the
  <a href="http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de">Max-Planck-Insitute for the History of Science</a>, the <a href="http://philoscience.unibe.ch">University of Bern</a>
  and others.
</li>
</ul>
