| Release note title | Release note |
|---|---|
| DPI parameter on ImageServer will no longer resize images | Previously, the DPI parameter for the Perfion Image Server endpoint would resize the original image according to the requested DPI setting. Because of rounding issues related to conversion between pixels per centimeter and pixels per inch, the resulting DPI setting on images could show unexpected results. We have changed the meaning of the DPI setting, from previously resizing the image to only being a metadata setting. It is now possible to request an image in a specific size and with a specific DPI setting. |
