Managana 1.6.0, a complete free digital publishing software developed using Apache Flex, is ready. Besides general bug fixes this version comes with a great improvement: the new HTML5 player!
Until now Managana required viewers to have Adobe Flash Player installed on their computers/devices to check content. To bring their creations to most mobile devices, mobile apps created from the Appwizard were the only choice. The Appwizard is still there with its advanced features, but now there is another choice. If Adobe Flash Player is not found, Managana tries to use the HTML5 canvas for rendering. This means you create once and have your content deployed to even more devices with no extra work.
