v1.4.4

• Fixed #1577: Image fails to render if first frame is not a full frame

v1.4.2

• Fixed #1453: Partial frame with Disposal method = 2 (restore background) can cause incorrect display of next frame

v1.4.1

• Fixed: #1444: AnimationCompleted event is still raised after the image has been removed
• Fixed: #1445: GIF image loaded from a remote URL is not animated

v1.4.0

• Added support for controlling the animation from code (pause/resume/seek). (work item)

v1.3.6

• Fixed: #1399: siteoforigin Pack Uri not working

v1.3.5

• Fixed: #1342: If the repeat count is not specified in the image, it should be repeated only once

:Warning: this is a potentially breaking change. If you were using GIF images that don't have a Netscape Application Block and didn't specify the repeat behavior explicitly, it was repeating forever. Now it will be repeated only once, which is the correct behavior if no repeat count is specified. If you need it to repeat forever regardless of what the image specifies, set the RepeatBehavior attached property to Forever.

v1.3.4

• Fixed: #1312: Non-animated images fail to load (regression introduced in 1.3.2)
• Fixed: #1313: GifDecoderException when loading an image from a network stream

v1.3.3

• Fixed #1308: NullReferenceException on Windows XP (regression introduced in 1.3.0)

v1.3.2

• Fixed a bug when the AnimatedSource is a BitmapImage with a relative URI

v1.3.1

• #1294: Performance improvements
• #1295: Improved demo application

v1.2.2

• Fixed: #1287: : source stream was closed by mistake in some cases

v1.2.1

• Fixed: #1275: : rendering issues when DisposalMethod = 2 or 3

v1.2.0

• Fixed: #1270: : fixed Nuget package so that it can't be installed in incompatible project types (Silverlight, Windows Phone, WinRT)
• Added support for using the repeat count from GIF metadata (Netscape application block) if the RepeatBehavior is not explicitly specified. If the repeat count can't be found in the metadata, the behavior will default to Forever

:Note: the default value for the RepeatBehavior property has been changed to 0x (the default value for this type) instead of Forever. This might be a breaking change in some cases. If you need the animation to run forever regardless of the repeat count specified in the GIF metadata, you need to specify RepeatBehavior="Forever".

v1.1.0

• Added an AnimationCompleted attached event to notify when the animation completes

v1.0.0

• Changed the default behavior in the designer: now the images are not animated by default in design mode, because it was too distracting. This can be re-enabled by setting the AnimateInDesignMode attached property to true on the root element of the XAML page.

v0.1.0

• Initial release
