THBImage SDK 5.0 - Scroll, Zoom, Draw, Raster image viewer

We finally released THBImage SDK 5.0.

The default thbimg.zip download package now contains THBImage 5.0. The previous version 4.8 is available in the thbimg48.zip and thbimgnet48.zip packages. Existing customers should consider this when downloading an update for the previous version 4.8.

Customers that buy a THBImage 5.0 license are eligible to get a 4.8 license too. We currently send both licenses to customers for a while but sooner or later we will just send out the 5.0 version.

We drastically reduced filesize of the binaries. This was just possible by adding further dlls. See the Deploy section in the documentation for a detailed list of binaries. Dlls are now based on MS VC++ 8.0 and require the msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll runtime dlls.

The new pricing and upgrade prices are all listed here.

Why should you consider upgrading to 5.0, maybe this list of new features of THBImage 5.0 can convince you that there are a lot of new possibilities to boost your application development:
-completely reworked object model -There is now a separate THBView viewer control where you can plug layer objects into that act as scroll/zoom/pannable layers. There are raster image, vector and PSD layers that you can plug into the viewer. -Unlimited layers, you can plug multiple raster and vector layers into the viewer, where each vectorlayer can itself contain unlimited sublayers. -Grabhandles -Improved management of selected and highlighted geometry objects. Multiselection by holding down SHIFT key. Multiselection window for easier object selection -Snapping to the nearest point of interest to ease geometry drawing. -Advanced UserInterface integrated into THBView that is completely adjustable -Skinnable UserInterface -Many new PDF compression options like Jpeg, Jpeg2000, Jbig2, Zip packed into PDF for best PDF compression -PSD layer viewing. You can draw PSD files layer by layer and modify blending effects and transparency settings. Or add vector layers above the PSD layers. -Improved geometry styles for advanced visual effets like gradient filled geometry. -Support for shapes with holes. -High performance spatial index for geometry objects -You have the choice to use GDI+ drawing engine or not. GDI+ drawing engine adds great visual effects to geometry objects. -Read/Write DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) and SHP (Esri Shapefile) vector data file format -Read Dgn v7 vector data format -THBExif Exif and IPTC(International Press Telecommunications Council Headers) reading and writing object -Animated gif creation -ICC color profile transformation -THBWebRequest up and downloading using http or ftp protocol. -THBVectorAnalysis for ConvexHull, MinimumRectangle, AutoDeskewing of image and vector data -One 100% identical interface accross C#, Vb.Net, VB, Com, DLL, C++, Lib
