Significant optimization of browser loading and caching – after a number of optimizations in previous versions and thanks to a continuous increase in performance and speed of connectivity of end stations, it turned out that the actual HTTP compression performed high speed networks (> 200 Mbps) decreases in speed rather than increases. Now compression is also performed when caching the browser on the server. As a result of this, the cache now holds about 60% more data and the data output is significantly faster at the same time
Improved loading and playback of ultrasound loops – until this version, the browser decompressed each frame when loading multiframe images (most pronounced on cardio ultrasounds), which in the case of loops containing several thousand frames called for high memory requirements of the target station or in case of decompression a large amount of data was transferred to the server. However, images with JPEG baseline transfer are now played directly in the native format, allowing smooth playback on a 100 Mbps network and a significant reduction in hardware requirements
End of Internet Explorer support – after half a year since the notification, this version ends support of Internet Explorer. In addition to security considerations, leaving support for this browser allows us to take advantage of more modern technologies and thus add browser features that we have not been able to implement before. The end of support of this browser has also been announced by its manufacturer Microsoft. If you still use this browser, do not hesitate to install free Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or start using Microsoft Edge browser, which you probably already have installed on your Windows computer
Next steps in increasing security – our software regularly undergoes security penetration tests. We carefully analyze the test results and resolve any complaints. Not only thanks to the above-mentioned termination of support for the outdated Internet Explorer browser, we are moving further and further in the area of security and resistance against possible attacks
