v0.8.0 does not have SpriteStage included despite what docs say.

Hi there,

i've used bower to get the v0.8.0 of easelJS.. and tried to use SpriteStage, but it doesn't seem to be included in our package... is this a problem? why are there different versions of the same version?

SpriteStage and SpriteContainer are part of the Version 0.8.0 release on GitHub, but are not included in the minified version, since it is not an often-used feature. You have to include them manually from GitHub.

Cheers.

I'm not using the minified version, I'm using the unminified version 0.8.0 from a bower install

The unminified (combined) version still represents the "core" library (it is the same as the minified lib, except the source is readable, and it contains comments). The SpriteStage/Container is not part of the core library, and not included.

It might make sense to modify the bower install to include the 2 WebGL classes. We will evaluate.

Sure, thanks.. in the meantime we can get them like this:

"EaselJS": "CreateJS/EaselJS#master",
"SpriteStage": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CreateJS/EaselJS/master/src/easeljs/display/SpriteStage.js",
"SpriteContainer": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CreateJS/EaselJS/master/src/easeljs/display/SpriteContainer.js"

The docs should probably explain the core library concept, and explain they aren't core files

I guess it could be more obvious. At the bottom of the main description it says "Note: SpriteStage is not included in the minified version of EaselJS."

We are considering adding an "easeljs-webgl" min file to the /lib folder, which contains the tagged version of the 2 classes.

Cheers.

There is a webgl minified version now, which should come down with a bower install. We are considering including this file on the next CDN release.
