Update Patch Release Notes

 

IGP:DP 7.14.0 - Updates, Upgrades & Enhancements

The following updates have been implemented in this release

Accessibility metadata

The EPUB Accessibility Specification (http://www.idpf.org/epub/a11y) requires some accessibility metadata in the package file (http://www.idpf.org/epub/a11y/#sec-disc-package).

  1. https://schema.org/accessMode
  2. https://schema.org/accessModeSufficient
  3. https://schema.org/accessibilityFeature
  4. https://schema.org/accessibilityHazard
  5. https://schema.org/accessibilitySummary

To meet the new WAI/ARIA standards we have now introduced an expanded "Accessibility Metadata" section under the "Document Metadata" heading on the DPI form. The user can now select the required check-boxes as per their delivery requirements. The update will reflect in the respective opf file as generated for EPUB3, EPUB3+2, EPUB2 and Kindle formats.

DOCX Importer with controls

In the current version of Digital Publisher, the Manuscript importer works only for IGP styled documents and WORD basic styled documents.

To support the other DOC Form control styles, additional docx importer "DOCX-Control-Style" is introduced in the Manuscript Import dropdown, which supports the following structures

  1. Dropdown
  2. Checkboxes
  3. Block and inline SVG
  4. Block and inline MathML
  5. Images
  6. Content control blocks
  7. Lists OL/UL
  8. Nested List
  9. Inline style

Notes:

  1. This importer is only limited to the WORD default styled structures, and does not consider the IGP styled structures.
  2. ActiveX control is not supported for import e.g.: Radio buttons and normal form buttons etc.
  3. If we saved docx file using libreoffice then all svg files will be convert into the png files.
  4. 'Sup' and 'Sub' inline styles are not identified.

Formats generation window messaging update

Currently when a format fails to generate, the message displayed was "The Server has occurred an error, could not be generated because of packaging failure."

This message is now changed to "The requested format could not be generated because of packaging failure. Please contact the Administrator."

IGP:DP 7.14.0 - Presentation Template updates

The Master Presentation Templates will be updated by IGP during the update activity. If you have created any custom templates based on the IGP Master Templates, please check that these updates are applied in your templates if applicable.

  • Added Accessibility Metadata section in DPI form.

IGP:DP 7.14.0 - Bug Fixes

  1. Formats generation was failing due to missing temp directory on the server. This is now fixed.

  2. On clicking Forgot Password and providing the email ID, the User gets an email with the 'Modify Password' url link. The change password button is deactivated, unless you exit the box with a TAB. The CHANGE PASSWORD button is now kept active without having to tab out of the second password field.
