Comments on: Wet blanket http://brian.sol1.net/svg/2009/01/17/wet-blanket/ News about my attempts to implement SVG Declarative (SMIL) Animation in Mozilla Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:41:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Jacobus http://brian.sol1.net/svg/2009/01/17/wet-blanket/comment-page-1/#comment-33028 Jacobus Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:41:19 +0000 http://brian.sol1.net/svg/?p=107#comment-33028 It helps a lot, thanks Brian ;-) also, a personal thanks from me for all you have done for SMIL and Firefox. I'm sure your effort will go a long way. The lack of SMIL support in Firefox is the only reason I still need other browsers. It's going to be super when that hole is finally closed. I drink to open standards and to all the boys and girls who fights for our freedom by pushing these standards!!!!

I'm afraid I'm a bit out of the loop at the moment but I think the situation is as follows: 1) SMIL is not on the 3.1 (now 3.5) branch but only on trunk, so you need a nightly trunk build. I think you can get them at <a href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/" rel="nofollow">http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/</a>. 2) SMIL should now be built by default (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473705" rel="nofollow">bug 473705</a>) on trunk. 3) SMIL is disabled by default and needs to be enabled by a pref in about:config, namely <code>svg.smil.enabled</code> (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473904" rel="nofollow">bug 473904</a>). As far as I know, SMIL won't make it into Firefox 3.5. So the earliest it might appear would be 3.6, and that might be incomplete. Hope that helps! Hi Jacobus, thanks very much!

Great news! Super Super great! I have just downloaded the latest 3.1 beta, but the animateTransform example mentioned above is still not working. In what version of Firefox will this be released? Best, Jacobus Fantastic work guys! Great news! Super Super great!

Any chance somebody could spin a nightly with SMIL enabled for me? Thanks in advance! I see you’ve got your animateTransform patch landed.
