This is to announce an alpha release of an update to the Exhibit 2
codebase, one that I hope will eventually become Exhibit version 2.3. As
Exhibit 3 matures we aim to shift our developments efforts there, but
for the time being the greater maturity of E2 makes it a better testbed
for these updates. This release fixes a number of bugs and also offers
additional functionality; we'd like to see how that functionality gets
used in order to understand what is important to incorporate into E3.
These changes are all live on
http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/api, so all you need to do to
try them is link to that API instead of api.simile-widgets.org . Please
do so, and provide feedback on what is working and what isn't.
Major changes include:
* support for new import data formats including xml and html tables
* exhibit data can be embedded directly in html documents
* map view upgraded to use google maps v3 (gmaps key no longer required)
* map view renders icons locally (using canvas) instead of using painter
service
* a new extension supporting wysiwyg inline editing of data displayed in
any exhibit
There are also several bug fixes. Details of these and other changes
can be found at http://people.csail.mit.edu/karger/Exhibit/alpha.html
