Improved Large Image SP using OpenSeadragon viewer

Improved Book SP with robust configuration options

The Book Solution Pack has been improved both in terms of stability and in the range of configuration options available to the user.

Newspaper SP using the OpenSeadragon viewer

...

The new Newspaper Solution Pack is a Paged Content collection that is similar to the Book solution pack, with a few key differences. Unlike a book collection, a newspaper collection is intended to represent a single publication, and each object inside that collection is intended to represent a single issue of that publication. Another level down, each object is intended to represent a page of that particular issue. The Newspaper Solution Pack is designed to make it easier to navigate between issues and pages of a single publication - closer to the nature of a newspaper or magazine - as opposed to a book, which is more commonly read page-by-page.

The Newspaper solution pack also makes use of the OpenSeadragon viewer.

HOCR Highlights in Book and Newspaper SPs

High lighting functionality is provided through the Islandora OCR module, which integrates Tesseract into the Islandora Paged Content module. It allows for creation of OCR and HOCR derivatives that can be appended to a page as a datastream.
