Today we're releasing v2.9 of Frontpage Slideshow (standalone edition
remains unchanged). This new version adds minor improvement to the code,
but most importantly, it adds a new performance feature. This new feature uses a web service based on Google's infrastructure to optimize the size of all slideshow images. The results can be breathtaking... up to 75% decrease in total image size. If your site uses big images you can surely benefit from the option. Please note that since this feature depends on a web service, we consider it "experimental", so use with caution. Note: Minor update to v2.9.1 which adds the "width" option to optimized images, if the related setting in the module is on. If you already own a Frontpage Slideshow v2 license, just login to our PDS system or use your purchase download link (if you just bought the extension) to download this latest update. 2011 Bundle owners can do the same thing, their master zip file has been upgraded to include these latest versions. Please note that this is the last 2.x version. Within the coming weeks we're introducing Frontpage Slideshow version 3, which adds many new features and content sources to create amazing slideshows! Existing customers will engoy this as a free upgrade per our current terms and conditions. :) Available demosYou can see a demo of v2.9 in our main demo website at: demo.joomlaworks.grThe new performance feature can be seen on TNA Wrestling - a popular sports website in the US (total savings of around 400KBs in slideshow images)...
