A brief set of updates from the swamp. TimeSeriesOL is Dead. 1) Andreas and I spoke about MapPaneOL and TimeSeriesOL, and after some thought, we've decided to merge the functionality into a single file (as the code differences have become so minor). We should be deprecating TimeSeriesOL soon. I have already updated the tsConfig.xml demo to match. 2) We are using URL rewriting for the animation, and it's working rather well. 3) The speed issues earlier are easily resolved by adding <imageBuffer>1</imageBuffer> into the MapPaneOL. It's a little trickier/slower to animate large images, so it's better to only load images that are the same size as the viewport. 4) We've changed up the animation. Now, play() will not advance to the next frame until the present one has successfully loaded. This results in a slow 'first pass' while the images are being loaded, and the 'second pass' should be very very smooth. 5) There is a small bug introduced here, where if a user very rapidly clicks next() frame it will ignore all requests until the current frame is loaded. I'll solve it eventually (involves a timer reset, most likely) but, I don't forsee fixing it for alpha2 (it is a very very very small bug).
MapbuilderCompressed 1) I was able to make a fair amount of headway toward the final MapbuilderCompressed script (currently titled kompressOL.sh, and not in SVN yet) 2) An intermediate version of the final compressed script is up at http://api.communitymapbuilder.org/1.5-rc1/mapbuilder/demo/basic/index.h tml (it's the only demo currently running it) 3) This file is some 750k at present, and I haven't even included all the widgets yet. 4) All XML/XSL is currently inline, and it adds ~40k to the finished product 5) File order is a pretty big deal here, so I'm thinking that we're going to have to regularly maintain the script to ensure that it's valid.
