New Features coming in Ajax Animator 0.15 (aka 1.5, read to find out why) 02 December 2007

Okay, so one day i felt crazy and changed everything by 1 decimal place because i don’t want this to seem misleadingly good. I mean, if it hits a 1.0 release, then some people would think it’s almost as good as Flash 1 (futuresplash animator) which it it isn’t even near yet.

So it should be 1.5 but now it’s 0.15 :D

Read more to find out the whole list, a summary of it would be axml2, UI polishing, save space, nicer code (but still hideous), css, users, tweening, finish partially completed ideas etc.

What’s done so far

  • Redesigned Register UI
  • Save Lots of code
  • New Save/Open file format (around 5x faster, and 10 times smaller)
  • Relocating stuff
  • interactive tutorials
  • Backwards Compat Mode
  • for the first time it’s gonna be a legitimate GPLv2 project (I’m gonna include the gpl.txt file for once)
  • replaced wz_tooltips with native ext.js ones
  • Change save file to computer architecture
  • change organization of Save/Open buttons in file menu (submenus)
  • optimized stuff
  • fixed bugs
  • No more save/open window (now, single-purpose dialog alerts, much better)
  • Progress bars
  • User friendly upload error message (yay!)
  • relocate css
  • delete lot’s of stuff from user-management
  • REAL SUPPORT FOR LINES/ELLIPSES, lines didn’t work for tweening, ellipses didn’t work for tweening or flash, and ALL suffered from a programming error causing line-widths to be messed up.
  • FastMode …and more to come
