Waterwheel Carousel 2.2 released
This is a small release. A lot of people have been having trouble with the carousel not loading properly, and I'm sure this is because of the image preloader. The carousel has always worked by first attempting to forcefully load all of the images before initializing. This is a well known difficulty within the javascript community. I thought I had a pretty solid preloader finally figured out, but alas people continue to have issues with it.
Waterwheel Carousel 2.1 released
Managed to get out three updates to the Waterwheel Carousel this weekend. I'm working towards getting this carousel to replace the Feature Carousel - it doesn't make sense for me to maintain both of them when they are already fairly similar.
Changes:
Waterwheel Carousel 2.0 Released
After a lengthy development hiatus, I've added a significant release to the waterwheel carousel. What was originally slated for a 1.4 release has been bumped to a 2.0 release. The release includes lots of bug fixes and features, most important of which is full "circular" support. Take a look at the changelog on github to see a list of the changes.
Waterwheel version 1.3 released!
Finally got the time to put out the next release. I'm pretty happy with this one - I tied up a lot of loose ends and common feature requests. The most important feature is the circular support I added in. A lot of people desired to have a true infinite ciruclar effect (so there are no edges or walls), and I was planning on that for v1.4. However I was messing around with some ideas and in the meantime added in support for resetting the carousel to the opposite side very quickly when an edge is hit. Check it out! Here is the changelog:
Back at it
After a month or so development hiatus, I'm going back at it for a couple weeks in development. The feature requests have been piling up in the comments and I'm going to tackle them one by one. I think I'll start with the waterwheel carousel and try and get all the low hanging fruit taken care of before the big request... making the carousel completely circular. I understand why so many would like to have this, but the logistics of making it happen are a bit complicated. Do I duplicate the images in the DOM at the start of the carousel?
Version 1.1 Feature Carousel, Version 1.2.1 of Waterwheel Carousel
I've managed to get out a new release of the Feature Carousel. It includes some common feature requests such as next and previous control arrows. In fact, version 1.0 supported them in the code but I never actually utilized them in the HTML for demonstrating.
Waterwheel version 1.2 release
I've just commited the v1.2 tag for the waterwheel carousel. You can download this version on GitHub; just select the Download button, and then the link for v1.2. This version includes a few improvements that have been bothering users and I alike for a while. Here is a short summary (I may have missed something...):
