Hi Pat, This is very good news. Thanks!
I agree, however, with Jon, that Adobe should at least maintain ASV3 for say another 2-3 years until IE has native SVG support. This includes making sure that it properly works in IE7 and Windows Vista and fixing a few pressing issues, like supporting .getScreenCTM(), cursors and fixing bugs where ASV violates the SVG specifications. Thats a responsibility that Adobe really should take. Please note that I am not asking for new features (like SVG 1.2), but for bug fixes and filling gaps where ASV really falls behind other SVG 1.1 implementations. I would be happy to contribute a list of issues that really should be addressed. ASV is not that important for other browsers, in my opinion, since they already have native SVG support which is not perfect yet, but gradually improving. Making ASV available for those browsers would remove pressure on the browser vendors to properly support SVG natively. Thanks a lot Pat, best wishes and thanks for considering my request, Andreas --- In [email protected], "Paton J.
