What's next?

Release notes - web 5.1 (Dec '19)

  • Updated

Right-to-Left, mouse control, and branded rows on webTV.*

Note: This release supports responsive web and webTV apps (including Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, and Xbox One).

What's new

Right-to-Left functionality

AXIS responsive web apps now adapt to display Right-to-Left languages, presenting content from right to left. This is also known as mirroring.

Selecting a RTL language results in the app switching to a right-to-left format. This reorients your layout, text, and graphical content.

The RTL languages supported as part of the 5.1.0 release are Arabic, Hebrew, Kurdish, Persian, and Urdu.
