Is this by the same people or is it a competitor to the PNG development group (http://libpng.org/pub/png/ http://libpng.org/pub/png/)?
The latter's website still heavily says that PNG is a still image only format, and promotes MNG as the animation alternative. Of course, that's not how web browsers have played it out, and it also appears to me that the libpng source code still lacks "APNG" support. This makes me think it's a competing standard to the original developers.
- deaddodo 3y agoThe authors and editors overlap with the original specification's authors. It would appear that, if the PNG group is still publishing a standard, that this is at least the spiritual successor. Also, this is still a working draft, so it's unlikely libpng (a notoriously conservative, for good reasons, library) would implement the standard until it has been accepted and ratified. So that's not really an indicator of their support for it or not.
