    Scalable Vector Graphics

    Scalable Vector Graphics or short spoken SVG is a standardized format for describing interactivate, animated vector graphics for the web and desktop. It is usable for many different things like data exchange, intranet applications, websites and much more. It was promoted by the W3C Consortium back in 2001 as Version 1.0 and since that continuously evolved further until version 1.2 which is the current one. One of the main facts of SVG is that it is purely based on XML which allows the easy generation of SVG content.

    Renesis SVG Player Launches Version 0.7

    From press release:
    "
    A new Release v0.7 of the Standalone and IE-Pluginable Renesis® SVG Player is out. What's special on this version is the all-in-new Font and Text Engine which supports things like Unicode, Embedded Fonts, Text Selection, Copy to Clipboard, Text-Anchoring, Font-Stretching, Text-Decorations and much much more. The perfomance of the text engine should have improved as well. Other news are many many bugfixes and improvements based on our bugtracker as well as fixing one huge issue that caused a lot of crashes on various platforms. The next release is planned for somewhere between Juli and August 2007 and will mainly be a maintenance Release that will get a completely rewritten DOM Structure (not the EcmaScript binding!). Why should you care? As of now, inserting a lot of elements (especially text nodes) causes a lot of memory overhead and speed loss. The new structure system should shorten down the used memory to as low as 30-40% for dynamic changes as well as speed up the dynamic changes by a factor of 4-10x at a minimum so stay tuned! As always, comments, thoughts and questions are always very welcome into our forum. "
