Squashing bugs…
I’m working on a 1.3.1 update to address some issues that have come up with 1.3. Namely…
jQueryFileUpload – Add Files… button does not work in Windows FireFox.
2012r1 CGI – if the web browser cache is empty, the controls will sometimes take forever (i.e. 10-15s) to load. Naturally I didn’t see this during the 2012 beta period. I’m not sure where WE is hanging or why it is intermittent. Unfortunately I don’t know if this is one I can fix or work around, or if it will become a Feedback item.
Animation Timing – mainly a demo issue, but some users have reported that the demo animations jump quite a bit, and also that the introduction animation doesn’t always fire. That said, I can only make animation so smooth. Even with entirely client side JavaScript web browser animation is not perfectly smooth. This is because JavaScript timers are not preemptive and not guaranteed to fire at fixed intervals. (Funny how we are reliving the same issues in web browsers that we saw on desktop OSes in the early days. Remember Mac OS classic cooperative multitasking?)
I should also note that one person has reported JavaScript errors with jCanvas, but I can’t reproduce them. I’m trying to find time to do a remote session and see what’s going on. If you encounter this, please let me know.
