GX Pack 1.2 released
The new GX package is now available! This is a recommended upgrade for all users who have previously downloaded GX.
IMPORTANT: we’re building out a list of resources that use GX. Therefore, if you are using or will use GX for your Websites, projects and/or applications, please report them to us. It can either help us out to discover new features/usages and help you to share your works.
Now let’s see the new features!
GX Core
Multi-element animations
This new release of GX increases the internal power of the Core engine, for handling very complex DOM multi-element animations with single function calls.
While testing GX, Christop Stickel has noted that GX didn’t handle complex multi-element animations that needed mulitple DOM operations which may include the same elements.
For example, if in a page we have 3 divs, it’s perfectly legal to animate all divs simultaneously and a specific div, for example the one with the id “#el2″.
That element appears in both the two set of elements (”div” and “#el2″), so the second animation didn’t fire correctly.
Another case could be a multiple-element animation that involves the use of relative values.
This happened because GX haven’t been designed for handling multi-element animations. As I said a while ago, it would have been an additional task provided by a Plug-In.
By now this isn’t needed anymore: with the release 1.2 that feature is included directly in the Core engine. This is a very important point: first of all, since this a part of the Core, it’s available with all the GX extensions (as GX Extras). Secondly, you don’t have to worry about downloading a lot of scripts… it’s all in one place.
