We've started an FAQ on the Wiki, probably long overdue! github.com/openseadragon/… Let us know if there are more answers that should go there. 😊

Gaze deep into this infinite zoom of giant collages from both of Chris Jordan's "Running the Numbers" series! iangilman.com/openseadragon/… This piece (using @OpenSeadragon) was broken for a while, but I've recently fixed it back up. ❤️

New addition to the FAQ: What do the zoom values mean? github.com/openseadragon/… This comes up from time to time as a point of confusion.

We've just merged in a major change! OpenSeadragon now uses WebGL when available! This is not yet released, but you can try it out if you build from master. We'd love to get people using it early to make sure it's solid! github.com/openseadragon/…

We're thinking about dropping the HTML drawer in OSD: github.com/openseadragon/…. Any concerns?

We've deployed a minor patch release to fix downstream issues with IIIF: github.com/openseadragon/…

We've released OpenSeadragon 5.0.0! It now uses WebGL when possible 🎉 github.com/openseadragon/…

We've just merged (not yet released) a big upgrade to the OpenSeadragon data cache and pipeline. If your project does any modification of image data, you'll definitely want to know about this. We'd love if you could test the new version! github.com/openseadragon/…

New OpenSeadragon recipe: a heat map in the navigator to show the history of where the user has traveled in the image. codepen.io/iangilman/pen/… What recipes do you have? Let me know, and I'll help share them!

The New York Times just published a piece using OpenSeadragon: nytimes.com/interactive/20… They challenge you to slow down and spend 10 minutes with the painting, exploring it on your own. Afterwards they tell you more, giving you context to add to your own observations.

People keep making cool stuff with OpenSeadragon! I've been collecting links to add to the "In The Wild" page for years, but I keep not getting around to updating it. Here's the collection: github.com/openseadragon/… Anyone want to bring some of them over to update the page? 😄
