• This version introduces the new Settings interface, with its first module, the Role management interface.

The Product team is working in renewing all Settings user interface, and we are proud to present the first module created, the totally new Role management interface.

this new Role management interface replaces the old “role” datalist, and the back-office menu to enable it is : /wedia-config/users-and-roles/

A complete technical documentation is available here. This features builds on the roles and permissions model that was introduced in earlier versions.

• This version introduces a new ruler in the DTP Manager (Web to print and Creative Review), that is always present, and offers an way to measure dimensions of the height and width of a rectangle drawn on the surface (the measurement rectangle is never saved on the document).

• 

• This new version introduces a new “block” layout, with metadata under the square preview. This new layout was designed with our client Savencia, and it helps when working with packaging images and metadata related to the product.

This layout extends to 6 columns on larger screens, but this can be customized.

• This version introduces improvements in the board management workflow: assets from a board can be copied to a new, or an existing board:

• This version introduces the support for the new JPEG XL format (input, and output with the .jxl extension)

The next-generation image codec from the JPEG Committee is JPEG XL (with the file extension .jxl). As a state-of-the-art, cutting-edge image codec, JPEG XL is specifically created for efficient compression and web delivery of high-quality images with a focus on high-fidelity compression and progressive rendering. We support inserting new JXL files, and output as JXL images:
