New in Panotour 2.5.11 (Apr 11, 2018)

  • The buttons of the Gallery, Website Box, Video Box, PDF Box, Social Share plugins can be customized
  • Tooltips can be set over these buttons.
  • A background overlay image can be set behind these plugins.
  • Double click
  • Added double tap support.
  • Title
  • Added the possibility to use the group color when displaying the current group title.
  • PanotourMaps
  • Add 45° imagery support on Google maps layer
  • Panorama Menu and Panorama List
  • Support of the "current group" source.
  • Tour:
  • Generated tours now use the HTML5 player by default. Flash player is now mainly used as a fallback.
  • Tooltips on point spots can be displayed permanently.
  • TOUR LANGUAGE AND GENERATED FILES:
  • If you run Panotour Pro in another language than english, Panotour Pro will generate a "messages" xml file suffixed by the language used in Panotour Pro.
  • For example if you run PTP in german, and if your main tour file is mytour.html, the messages file is now mytour_messages_de.xml.
  • A new advanced option in the Build properties, allow you to generate multiple languages files according to a list of languages you want to embed in your tour.
  • A new advanced action allows you to switch from a language to another using those new files.
  • Panotour Pro does not any translation, you'll have to edit the generated files to translate your tour messages. Make sure you you back these edited files up, they will be overwritten if you build the tour again.
  • Player:
  • This version of Panotour/Panotour Pro generates tours using the third pre-release of 1.19 version of krpano
  • LIMITATIONS:
  • Video scenes and Spots:
  • Spots are static spots. Their positions are fixed in the sphere (or in the plane for planar video scenes) for the duration of the video.
  • Video scenes and HMD:
  • To be displayed correctly on Android phones on VR mode, tours should contain only one video scene.
  • To play a video on a mobile, users have to interact with the device, so mixing multiple videos in a single VR tour would require touching the mobile screen while it's on the head.
  • Windows Phone are not able to display spherical video scenes. They will be displayed as a flat video over the tour. So hotspots on videos are not displayed too.
  • Spots that do not load another full spherical panorama are removed from the VR tour, except picture spots that do nothing.
  • Polygon spots that load a panorama are converted into your default point spot.
  • If your video scene file has sound, you have to set also a sound track to let this sound be played on iPhone
  • Web Content spots:
  • Those spots are available only in Panotour Pro.
  • They are displayed in the HTML5 player only, and they work great with the standard projection. If you change the projection of the viewer (Little Planet, Architectural, etc...) they will not exactly match the wanted area.
  • /!\ WARNINGS:
  • Tiles generation:
  • If your project is already built, all full spherical panoramas tiles will be built during next build to store tiles as 512x512 pixels sets.
  • If, in a previous version, you locked spherical panoramas to not generate their tiles anymore, you'll have to unlock them during first build.
  • Internet Explorer 8 support:
  • Google discontinued support of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) for the Google Maps Javascript API v3 around August 31st 2015.
  • IE8 is no longer supported by many websites, including Google Apps and Google Analytics.
  • Microsoft has annouced that they will no longer support IE8 from January 2016 for desktop operating systems.
  • Kolor will also discontinue support of IE8 into Panotour exports progressively.
  • So we recommend that all users upgrade to more modern browsers.
  • Custom HTML templates:
  • Custom HTML templates have to be updated to be able to use the VR mode of tours
  • So if you are using some HTML templates based on those available on Panotour Pro documentation page, download their new version and update your own templates according to this new version.
  • Third-Party plugins:
  • We did a fix on the all the plugins samples available on Panotour Pro documentation website.
  • So if you are using some plugins samples available there, download their new version and update your own plugins according to this new version.
  • Panorama specific plugins:
  • If your projects use some panorama specific plugins, you downloaded on our documentation dedicated page (Extra plugins), then update those plugins. If you don't your tours may not work due to krpano changes in the management of variables.
  • For third party plugins developers:
  • The 1.19 version of krpano manages additions/substraction during conditional tests. This new ability induces some errors if your code contains some variables with a minus "-" or "+" sign.

  • You can disable context menu on touch device with an option in Context Menu plugin.
  • Changes:
  • HTML templates enhancements
  • We added some internal templates that ease the creation of HTML templates.
  • But all your previous custom HTML templates have to be upgraded using new internal templates.
  • Simply have a look at the templates delivered with Panotour Pro to know the changes you need to do in your custom templates.
  • Note to 2.3 Beta 1 users: As some of you reported some issues with the templates included in the HTML template, we splitted them into different templates. So, if you modified your HTML templates with 2.3 Beta 1 version, you’ll have to modify them once more.
  • Gyroscope and Gyroscope buttons in control bars
  • We added the possibility to enable/disable the gyroscope feature based on the kind of device on which the tour is displayed.
  • Additionally, the button that enables/disables the gyroscope on mobiles and tablets, did the opposite of what it should have done.
  • This bug was not noticeable until we did some changes in the gyroscope management templates.
  • So we changed all the control-bars delivered with Panotour/Panotour Pro to fix their Gyro buttons.
  • If you are using custom control bars and if these bars use a Gyro button based on ours you’ll have to change the code of this button.
  • Use new krpano panorama player version 1.18
  • Tours generated with Panotour Pro 2.3 version use last krpano 1.18 version.

  • Coming back of the Google Maps support
  • Extended compatibilities: HTML5, Desktop, Mobile devices
  • NEW FEATURES:
  • User Interface:
  • Tour File system management:
  • During the process of a tour creation you may build your tour many times, with different parameters, different panoramas, etc…
  • The directory in which you build your tour may contains extra files that are not needed by the last built tour.
  • A file manager window describing which files are mandatory and which files seem to be useless can be opened using the last icon of the toolbar.
  • The “red” files are the files that the tour built by Panotour may not need.
  • You can delete those files by checking them, and click on the “Delete selected files” button.
  • If you did not copied any file into the tour data directory, all the red files should be deleted.
  • If you copied some files into this directory, and if those files are needed by the tour, be sure to uncheck them if you click on the “Selection/Not needed files” button.
  • Replace panorama file:
  • A new entry is available in the contextual menu of a panorama.
  • Select a single panorama in the “Tour” area, and right click to see this new entry : “Replace panorama file”.
  • This entry allows you to replace the image(s) file(s) of the panorama.
  • The new image should have the same aspect ratio as the original image.
  • If you set some spots in the original image, the new image should also have the same heading to be sure that the spots fit the new panorama.
  • But they can have a different size. So you can for example have a low res version of a gigapixel panorama during your tour creation process, and when you are ready, change the panorama file with the gigapixel one.
