Safari 4 Beta issues

Unfortunately, our implementation of the esellerate API that we use in Frameline is not compatible with the new Safari 4 Beta (due to an updated webkit) This causes the application to crash on startup. We are now working to get this fixed, and will incorporate the fix into the imminent 3.1 update.

Version 3.1 nearly ready..

Pleased to post that, a few weeks behind schedule, we are now in the final stages of preparing version 3.1 of frameline 47 for launch. 3.1 is a really solid update that addresses a range of issues, simplifies a number of workflows, and adds some great networking features.  Should be landing within a week.

Human Rights Archive

Pleased to announce that we have been selected as software vendor by the Swiss Humen Institute for the creation of a humanities archive. The archive will consist of personal testimonies from over 100 persons who worked or are still working in the field during armed conflicts or natural calamities.

This rich material will be the core of a big audiovisual exhibition intended to be shown in major museums in Switzerland beginning in 2011. A light version of the exhibition is going to tour the country in small museums, school classes, community buildings and maybe abroad. This initiative build on a great success the same group of producers had some years ago collecting memories of persons having witnessed the Second World War.

We wish the team at Humen all the best with the project and are very much looking forward to working with them.
