ImageViewer v3.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2016-09-21 // over 7 years ago-
ImageViewer 3.0 is our biggest release yet both in terms of codebase and feature evolution. We tackled the inevitable step - video playback. Video content is deliberately treated exactly the same way as images incl. pinch to zoom, doubleTap or swipe-to-dismiss.
We have completely redesigned the way content is displaced™ :) from the parent canvas to ImageViewer. Images and videos now seamlessly morph from aspectFill and other aspect-ratio-breaking modes to aspectFit FullScreen. A new built-in Thumbnails screen allows you to handle large sets of images and videos.
🔧 The number of configuration options has almost tripled. You can tweak every aspect of the complex displacement animation composition including speed & timing. Images with transparency are now equally supported. Main background layer allows for semitransparent color and blur.

Video support: Show videos in the gallery. Both locally stored file and streaming is supported via video URL. Thumbnails screen: Modal screen to select any image or video immediately.Composited background: Background is now composed from two layers - the blur and the color layer. Blur intensity, color and the level of transparency for both layers is handled separately.Block-based image fetching: Now it's completely up to you to handle fetching the way you want... just pass a block that does it.Rotation mode: Option to rotate now can be set to be app based or always.Spring bouncing: Displacement can optionally include a spring bounce effect same as in the iOS Photos app.- 👍
Panorama support: Very wide panorama images will still be scaled to aspectFill after double tap to zoom, even if the resize would result in a scale that exceeds maximumZoomScale.
