   iBooks Author 2.1

   Michael E. Cohen

   Apple's iBooks Author has been updated for Mavericks compatibility. The
   free upgrade to the free authoring software fixes an interesting bug
   that caused enhanced caption tracks to be dropped from some movies,
   and, as one might expect, provides 'various bug fixes and performance
   improvements.'

   In addition, with this update users can now preview Multi-Touch book
   projects-in-progress in the iBooks app on the Mac. The capability of
   previewing to a cable-connected iPad remains, and is still required to
   preview a book that uses vertical orientation. (Free update, 446 MB)
