Diva 6 is simultaneously our biggest, and our smallest, release yet! We have rewritten Diva as an ES6 module, have removed all external library dependencies, refreshed the public API, optimized and inlined UI images, refactored the CSS. These optimizations make Diva a lightweight, but fully-featured, IIIF viewer component, suitable for seamless integration into your web applications.

Additionally, we provide support for viewing images using the upcoming IIIF Presentation API version 3.0.

New Features

  • Compatibility with IIIF Presentation API version 2.1 and 3.0.
  • Small footprint, zero dependencies. Can be deployed with just a JavaScript and a CSS file.
  • Rewritten in ES6 for compatibility with the new JavaScript module system.
  • New plugins
    • IIIF Metadata
    • Image Manipulation
  • Viewport height change for better visibility
  • The 'page number' tool now displays page label names instead of page numbers, and page labels are affixed to the top right of every page.

Bug Fixes

  • Diva no longer just tracks a single page index for its public methods and page interaction, but rather an array of all the visible pages in the viewport.

Plugin System Changes

  • Register plugins by adding them to the plugins setting when instantiating Diva, instead of via window.diva.registerPlugin(...). See Plugins for more info.
