New default viewer version for folios
The default viewer version for folios is now v26 instead of v20. When you create a new folio, you can still target v20 through v28 viewer versions.
Camera API support
Use the device camera to allow users to take photographs from within your app, and either feature photos within your content or store them in the
camera roll. For example, you can specify a frame image and allow users to take a picture (or specify an image from their Photos app) that
appears within that frame.
Content on Android devices scaled up
In previous releases, smaller renditions in Android apps were not scaled up, causing both letterboxing and pillarboxing. With v28 AIR-based
Android apps, smaller renditions are now scaled up proportionally.
Lock orientation option
DPS App Builder includes a new settings that lets you lock the orientation of your app so that the library and folio view are displayed in only one
orientation.
SiteCatalyst analytics improvements
New SiteCatalyst reports are available for author metadata, which is useful for tracking specific authors or advertisers. Additional custom eVar
tracking is also available. See the related analytics articles in the DPS Developer Center for details.
Web Viewer localized
The Content Viewer for the Web (web viewer) now includes support for 20 different languages.
Distribution Service performance improvements
Folios uploaded to the Adobe Distribution Service are now stored on faster and more reliable Amazon Web Service servers. You should notice
significant improvements in publishing, updating, and downloading folios.
Release 27
Pinterest support in Social Sharing (iOS, Professional/Enterprise)
Pinterest is now one of the Social Sharing options in DPS App Builder. When selected, the Pinterest option appears in the drop-down social
sharing menu of your app. Customers who view your app on an iPad or iPhone can pin the preview image of an article page to their pinboards.
From Pinterest, readers can click the page image to experience interactive article content on a device or in the web viewer. You can set paywall
limits on the number of articles available for viewing, as with other Social Sharing options.
Device GPS Integration (iOS, Professional/Enterprise)
With GPS integration, you can provide targeted content based on geographic location. In your app, you can add GPS logic to HTML content to
achieve different purposes. Examples:
You can create a Web Content overlay or HTML article that displays different ads depending on where users are viewing the article.
In your custom store (Enterprise only), you can display region-specific folios and entitle users to folios based on their location.
In your custom library (Enterprise only), you can display region-specific banners.
Additional details: To enable GPS integration in a custom store or library, use the v2 custom story/library APIs. To enable GPS integration in a
Web Content overlay or HTML article, use the Reading API. Also, select the “Allow Access to Entitlement Information” option if you enable GPS
integration in a Web Content overlay or HTML article.
Social Sharing/Web Viewer Improvements (iOS, Professional/Enterprise)
Note the following enhancements:
In the web viewer, articles that have an article access state set to "Free" in Folio Producer can now be viewed in the desktop web viewer
without counting against the paywall threshold. There has been no change to the behavior for metered or protected articles. Metered articles
still count against the paywall threshold and protected articles are available only to entitled readers. (The Free, Metered, and Protected
settings now have the same effect in both web viewer and free article preview.)
In previous versions, thumbnail images of protected articles in the web viewer TOC were grayed out and displayed a lock icon on mouse
over. In addition, left and right navigation actions skipped over protected articles. With v27, the web viewer no longer makes a distinction
between protected, free, or metered articles in the TOC and in navigation. All articles appear in the TOC without distinction, and navigating
within a folio allows users to visit every article, including protected articles. Protected articles are obscured by a paywall message.
In the embedded web viewer, the sign-in process has been streamlined to provide publishers the ability to authenticate users on their own
web site.
Android viewer improvements (Professional/Enterprise)
The AIR-based Android viewer includes the following enhancements:
The folio size dimension limit has increased from 2048x2048 to 4095x4095 pixels. This allows you to create folios that target larger devices
