    A follow-up on this one. Now textures are downloaded by WebWorkers using the transferable buffers. Over multiple benchmark runs this results in another 32% CPU performance gain (We…

    Thank you for your points! As I said in the article about the benchmarking-- I definitely did it the "quick and dirty" way, testing the whole application 2.9 vs 3.0 on just my devi…

    I have to admit that I didn't dive 100% into what made this difference exactly. It just worked better without webworkers. I just dived into the git history, and it turns out I didn…

    Yeah, I still encounter IE10 and older sometimes -- looking at the wide audiences Micrio projects are used for, this ranges from grandparent's Windows XP machines to OS-locked gove…

    Thanks for your reply, you're right about that. Currently we've only been developing micr.io based on wishes we received, that includes features such as hotspots, tours, etc. See h…

    Ofcourse the huge volume is great, it's awesome! But by only offering single high-res .jpg files instead of image tilesets just makes the viewing experience less than pleasant.. Do…

    It's really a shame that it simply gives you the original files, not allowing very high res images (ie greater than 10.000 x 10.000). We built a tool for this that's being used by …
