###**Comparisons**

- **Famo.us** is a full-fledged *mobile app framework* built around a physics engine.
- **GSAP** is a fast, multi-purpose *animation platform*. It inspired me to pursue the development of Velocity.
- **Velocity** is a lightweight tool for drastically improving *UI animation performance and workflow*.

###**New Features**

- 0.7.0: Elements receive an `:animating` class while animating. Transforms are removed when they hit 0.
- 0.6.0: Can set `display: "auto"` and can set `visibility`. See http://VelocityJS.org/#displayAndVisibility.
- 0.5.0: Promises support. See http://VelocityJS.org/#promises.
- 0.3.0-0.4.0: SVG animation support. See http://VelocityJS.org/#svg.
- 0.2.0: Added step easing. See http://VelocityJS.org/#easing.
- 0.1.0: The `stop` command now stops animations *immediately* (instead of just clearing the remainder of the animation queue). No other backwards-incompatible changes were made. See http://VelocityJS.org/#stop.
