APNG support

Hey, cool:yes:
Opera has support for APNG now.
for more info about APNG see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animated_Portable_Network_Graphics
http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/08/better-animations-in-firefox-3/
http://littlesvr.ca/apng/
here are some example APNGs(there is a little flickering in the first frame, im not sure if this is a bug in Opera or in the firefox apng encoder):
if the image above is not animating, you'll need a newer build of Opera, or a firefox3 nightly.
more examples can be found on my website:
http://treebuilder.de/default.asp?file=89031.xml
i'm also currently writing an SVG2APNG converter as a firefox extension:
http://www.treebuilder.de/default.asp?file=660000.xml
maybe something like this would be possible as an Opera widget.
for this i would need access to an apng encoder, not sure if this is possible via js.
anyways, this is again some great news, at least there is a posibility to get rid of animated gifs someday.
great job Opera Team:up:
