Batik 2.0 /
Hello,
does anybody know when Batik 2.0 will be released ?
I still have many problems concerning dynamic update
and I make use of animate/animateColor.
My second question is related to <defs>, <symbol>, <use> and evenhandling.
I have information stored in the <use> tag and want to access it on mouseClicks.
But of course I only get the elements that are part of the <symbol> ...
The symbols might be very complex, will be used several times and I need to keep
the svg-file as small as possible. Maybe there is allready an option in batik to replace
the <use> element by a <g> element (for example) containing all elements that are
defined for the <symbol>, after loading the svg ?!
Greetings,
Christian.

We still have not finished 1.5 but I still hope we can accomplish that
in the not too distant future. The commiters have been taken by other
projects which have made the last attempt at a 1.5 release unsuccessful.
Adding SMIL animation (that would be Batik 2.0) requires some major
modification/improvements to Batik and it is unclear at this time
when/how that would be done (resource-wise, this is an issue). As
always, contributors are welcome!

I think we would be curious to know about the problems with
dynamic updates. Obviously, we know about the lack of SMIL support.

Since the use code was written it has become clear that our
implementation is wrong. The target in the event should not be the
elements in the symbol they should be SVGElementInstance objects which
are proxies for the symbol elements and if the parent chain is
followed would eventually have the use element as a parent.
I don't think we have definate plans to fix this in the near
future.

The correct answer is to fix Batik so it uses
SVGElementInstance's. I don't think this is a huge task but it
probably isn't trivial either...
