v1.7.0.1

22May2019
  • GIF Support - for Linux builds only.
      Use imageA and imageAResource to use GIFs in a Spark application.
  • Bug fix: ImageAResource width and height were replacing any authored width and height for imageA objects using the resource.
      This would result in an inability to stretch an imageA to a desired width and height other than the resource's actual width and height.  Check  (scene.capabilities.graphics.imageAResource >= 2) to detect if this fix is available.
