Title: Release 2016.22 of manual
Post by: sean on May 05, 2016, 09:31:56 AM

Latest xLights manual has been posted.

I especially like the new page listing all the changes to the manual! With over 200 pages, this makes it easier to see what I might want to review.

Thanks to our manual writers!

Hi folks, Thank You for this great manual. Gets better each release.

I'm viewing the manual on Ipad air II, with goodreader. I noticed all the images are fuzzy, especially when zooming in on them. Is there asetting I need to look into on goodreader or ipad to sharpen the images?

I don't recall the previous images to be this fuzzy.

Thank You
David

I believe that Kevin did some sort of compression (when packaging it) to try and reduce the size of the document - (as I have been adding more and more screenshots for clarity and examples ) , so that compression may need to be looked at.

Download a new version using the link I sent you both and see if you can notice a difference.  File size is almost double what it was, so I'm hoping that helps out.

I've sent the link to Sean too and asked if he wants to swap out the previous file for the new one.

I will avoid doing a major compression in the future.  Lesson learned.

I just realized too, that this updated file does not contain the bookmarks for navigation.  They will return with the next release.

Time to get busy Gerry!   ;D
