Release candidate 0.97

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. So, even if this version is already well tested internally, we decided to start with a release candidate. Please, test it carefully against your code base and give us feedback.

You can test this the release candidate of version 0.97 by including

http://jsxgraph.uni-bayreuth.de/distrib/jsxgraphcore-0.97.min.js

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

1
    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.
