Imagevue X2.5

Imagevue X2.5

Imagevue X2.5 is a huge update with some awesome new features. Mainly, this new release includes a brand new admin which addresses several frequently requested features. The Beta version has already been out for two weeks, and since then, we have been working on a new facelift for the admin interface, and fixing a few bugs. We are ourselves very satisfied with the new admin, and feel it is more complete than ever!

Why 2.5?

There are a few reasons why we decided to release this new version as 2.5:

• X2.5 includes a brand new admin, designed from bottom up with a lot of important new features
• X2.5 now required PHP5.1.3
• X2.5 is generally a massive release

What’s next?

We are already looking forward to release Imagevue X2.6 for Christmas. In this release, we aim to include several requested features that we were not able to include in the 2.5 release: New horizontal menu, Fotomoto E-commerce integration, Social-media sharing, multiple backgrounds, and more. Stay tuned!
