Release of version 0.97

Posted on April 29, 2013

Version 0.97 is a complete overhaul of JSXGraph code base. It brings a lot of changes which in some cases might break your code. The most radical changes which might affect applications are:

  • Implementation of the AMD pattern to actually enforce the module pattern that only existed theoretically before. Please read this blog post for more information about these changes.
  • Removal of some wrapper functions in JXG.Board. This post has more information what methods were removed and where you can find the unwrapped versions.
  • Several board attributes in JXG.Options were moved to a subspace called board including showCopyright, showNavigation, takeSizeFromFile, renderer, takeFirst, animationDelay, zoom, pan.

To deactivate the navigation buttons you now have to set

JXG.Options.board.showNavigation = false;

If you created your own JSXGraph theme(s) using JXG.deepCopy() you have to replace deepCopy() with merge():

      // 0.96 and before
    JXG.Options = JXG.deepCopy(JXG.Options, {...});
      // 0.97+
    JXG.Options = JXG.merge(JXG.Options, {...});
  • Many bugfixes and new features (among them: tape measure, line hashes). A complete list of changes can be found in section 0.97 of our CHANGELOG.md.
  • Several CSS transformations can now be applied to the JSXGraph board without breaking the event handling. This ensure better compatiobility with EaselJS.
  • Experimental support for the new Pointer API used in IE10.
  • Rewrite of our make scripts. How to build JSXGraph and JSXCompressor is documented in the README.md.
