Mirador Viewer
|
|
Mirador 4.2.4 updates the GalleryView layout to align content to the flex-start and adds spacing between gallery items. The release fixes the placeholder grid on the add‑items page, guards against small thumbnails in the right sidebar, and reorders canvas navigation controls so previous/next appear before zoom. It also replaces lodash flatten utilities with native flat/flatMap, swaps react-resize-observer for react‑hook/resize‑observer, and removes lodash difference in favor of filter. Additional stability improvements include handling of companionWindowId crashes and ignoring non‑quick touch/pen gestures on annotations.
