  Optimizing, optimizing, optimizing....


Spend most of the week swimming with the shark, Apple's great code profiling tool.

Profiling is a humbling experience for a developer - where big ego's, and long runtimes, slowly, but decisively shrink to it's razor sharp essence.

Have a nice weekend!

  NiXPS SDK v2.6.6 released!
We have released NiXPS SDK v2.6.6 today.
This is a maintenance update, free for all current customers who are under maintenance.

We roll out some optimizations in reading, writing and converting very large documents (+1000 pages).
You should see a significant speed boost, and reduced memory usage, when handling these type of files.
The XPS document outline (table of contents) is now also optionally converted into a PDF document outline.
And we have fixed a few minor bugs.

Again a lot of fixes and optimizations were the result of issues reported by our customers.
Your continued feedback allows us to further improve our software and provide a field tested, high quality SDK.
Thank you very much!

You can find the changelog for this v2.6.6 release here.

Speed still matters in the Web 2.0 age.
