Ajax Animator 0.2 Beta *almost* RC1 02 August 2008

Okay, sorta a weird name for a release right? Beta and Release Canidate? Well, its Web 2.0/Ajax so really, anything can happen. I sure hope this doesn’t spark an onsalought of Stable Beta RC1 Pre-Alpha Unstable Full releases.

But… yeah. Tonight I added two very important features stemming from Properties.

the first is properties itself (duh). It allows you to change canvas Width, Height, and the animation framerate. Stemming from this, is the new feature in the Ajax Animator Format (ALEON, AXON, AXION, AJSON, AXFF, AFF or whatever you want to call it), you guessed it: Width/Height. Oh crap. I just remembered that it doesn’t support framerate yet. CRAP! oh. hmm. i’ll just post it anyway and continue from here when I get that feature done.


Almost There! 01 August 2008

We’re almost at the release of 0.2, though it has been scaled down a bit. Real usability probably won’t come until 0.21. Right now, 0.2 basically only lacks one feature, being the whole user-management system.

The only features that are really left, are some final touches and the Properties panel.


new IE not supported error 29 July 2008

This time I think my tone is a bit more acceptable (no more “Error: YOUR BROWSER SUCKS!” stuff)

Currently, support for Microsoft Internet Explorer (6/7/8) are only experimental. 
Some features do not work properly such as animation and playback of some specific animations. 
The issues are being resolved, but in the mean time, you may try out another browser such as 
<a href='http://getfirefox.com'>Firefox</a>, 
<a href='http://opera.com'>Opera</a>, or 
<a href='http://apple.com/safari'>Safari</a>.

IE somewhat works 29 July 2008

I just discovered the source of virtually all the IE problems: the non functional VMLRENDERER.prototype.info() function. I managed to implement part of it, and magically, IE works a bit. Its nto very stable, and the tween engine gets weird errors all the time.


Bug Fixes 29 July 2008

Okay, so in IE you can now actually draw (wow!) though tweening doesn’t work yet :(

I fixed a bug when in Firefox 2 where the preview tooltips end up to be huge for no reason.
