            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.

          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.
