HTTP/3, the third and most recent version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol used for exchanging information on the Web, is the third and most recent version of the HTTP protocol, which enables reduced latency times for each web request.
With this release note we have enabled the HTTP3 protocol in our THRON DAM, THRON PIM, Workflow and Photoshooting solutions.
Concretely? Whenever THRON distributes an asset on your channels, it will do so even faster than before, especially on mobile networks and in the case of large geographical distances between the user and the distribution network node.
Note: HTTP/3 is used by all modern mobile browsers but is currently disabled on Safari (iOS devices). Safari users, therefore, will not benefit from the above-mentioned delivery improvements until Apple enables the protocol on its browser as well.
In this release, all the performance improvements in library downloads that we talked about in the previous release have been extended to share pages as well.
In summary? Downloading assets from share pages is even faster.
If the China Delivery feature is activated, the improved download performance also affects users connecting to the platform from China.
In addition to the performance improvement described a few lines ago, the share pages were also the protagonist of an enhancement of the user experience.
In particular, we intervened on several fronts with the aim of increasing usability, both in terms of desktop and mobile use.
Try it to believe it!
There are already too many things we have to keep in mind on a daily basis, which is why we consider it essential to make life easier for our users.
It is with this in mind that we have made changes to the rights management required to export product data from THRON PIM.
In particular, from this release you no longer have to worry about assigning users who wish to export product information write permissions to the library as was the case in the past. All this without having to give up the certainty that only those you want can access and download the information.
Thus, even stakeholders outside the organisation – such as dealers – can easily download product data.
In addition to simplifying processes and the day-to-day life of users and system admins, this simplification has made the export of products even faster than before.
Beautiful, isn’t it?
Could we make you forego the benefits of the new PHP version supported by WordPress (version 8) when using our connector? The answer is obvious: no 🙂
In other words, THRON’s WordPress connector now also supports PHP 8.
