Besides a bunch of fixes and general quality-of-life improvements the new version introduces new methods of incorporating media files into your projects (like sharing uploaded media files between projects), options to have your content automatically adjust the zoom levels to optimally make use of the available screen space, and the new animation feature that comes with a wide range of effects to choose from and various events to trigger them.

We just returned from this year's EuroCIS where we shared a booth with our partners from eKiosk (www.ekiosk.de) and 3d-berlin (www.3d-berlin.de).
The 2018 EuroCIS was quite unusual - in a positive way. The last day of the expo is usually the slowest, but this year visitors kept coming until the late afternoon for product demos and consultations. It's great to see both the expo as a whole and the interest in our products in particular grow from year to year.
We are quite happy that, besides "classic" topics like using SiteKiosk to secure your public terminals and using SiteRemote for remote monitoring and maintenance, our new Kiosk CMS SiteCaster garnered a lot of interest. With its easy-to-use HTML5 based editor SiteCaster is an ideal and user-friendly platform for a wide variety of use cases from interactive Digital Signage at the POS to employee communication solutions.
We'd like to thank our visitors for their interest in our products and the great feedback they gave us, and are looking forward to meeting you again next year.
