YoxView changelog

YoxView3 Preview!

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 17:59:00 GMT

It's been a while, but the next generation of YoxView is finally coming along, and I'm really proud of it. Some of the new features:

Hardware acceleration by using CSS3 transitions
Inline display - YoxView isn't limited to popups anymore!
Custom transitions
YoxScroll - an additional plugin, used by YoxView. You can see it in the demo's thumbnails, try sliding them using gestures, like a touch screen.
Mobile support!
Improved API and events.
Better performance, smaller memory footprint.
Support for multiple data sources (Picasa, Flickr, YouTube).
Faster pre-caching

There's also a YoxView3 GitHub repository, you're welcomed to have a look. (Not for IE for now)
