            Special offer of the day: <a href="/tmp/digilib-tomcat-2.1b1.zip">latest
              digilib beta with Tomcat all-in-one version</a> - download, unpack, open
            terminal/cmd.exe, change to download directory, execute catalina.sh/.bat run,

          <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>

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

            but don't rely on it...

          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>
