For Immediate Release
XStream Software Releases RapidSVG™ v3.0 New version of SVG Authoring Tool contains an updated interface and additional features. OTTAWA, Canada, May 28, 2008 - XStream Software, a developer of world-class e-learning software, collaboration tools, and other technology solutions, is pleased to announce the general availability release of RapidSVG v3.0, a redesigned and enhanced version of XStream’s professional SVG authoring tool.
RapidSVG v3.0 presents developers with a completely redesigned and updated user interface, making it easier than ever to create sophisticated SVG-based web pages and animations. This new version of RapidSVG still features its familiar, coding-free authoring environment; the development of professional SVG-based web pages (containing synchronized animations, interactive components, embedded multimedia elements, and more) is accomplished exclusively with drag-and-drop editing tools and property settings. However, in addition, the modernized user interface offers a fresh new look with a more straightforward layout, simplified & functional workspace, and tab-based menus and tools for easier access.
RapidSVG v3.0 also includes new capabilities for importing Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files and Windows Metafile (WMF) files; these types of files can now be imported into a RapidSVG project as SVG pages. In addition, RapidSVG v3.0 is now compliant with the SCORM 2004 e-learning standard (and also continues its support for the SCORM v1.2 e-learning standard). Therefore, a project created in RapidSVG can be saved as a SCORM 2004 or v1.2 course package and deployed through any Learning Management System (LMS) that supports SCORM 2004 or v1.2.
"SVG continues to gain industry support as a key standard for superior web graphics and animations, and there is a broad range of SVG support across many tools and technologies. However, the problem for many users is that while they recognize the inherent advantages of the platform and would like to realize its benefits, they simply don’t have the time or inclination to become SVG experts or immerse themselves in complex SVG coding," says Sunil K. Sethi, President and CEO, XStream Software Inc. "It’s for these users that RapidSVG v3.0 was developed. Its straightforward methodology and accessible features allow any user to create impressive SVG graphics, animations, and interactivity at the click of a button—without having to learn anything about SVG."
“As with each new release of an XStream authoring tool, we have strived to make the tool both easier to use and more powerful, enabling the user to create the highest-quality content in the shortest amount of time,” adds Mahendra K. Agrawal, Vice President - Technology, XStream Software Inc. “We feel that our goals have been successfully achieved with the release of RapidSVG v3.0.”
