Development of this extension will be limited to bugs and essential/minimal features. Please use Dash2Dock Lite for Animated and Effects-ful Dock.
Update
I'll myfocus effort instead on three other extensions (Search Light, Dash2Dock Lite, Anino Dock).
Anino Dock will be released soon on EGO. It is based on Dash2Dock Lite (release #20); Dash2Dock Lite will be made "lightweight" again. The aim would to make it Anino Dock Lite;
This is a Gnome Shell extension that animates the Ubuntu Dock, or more precisely, the Dash-to-Dock extension.
This works with other distribution using Dash-to-Dock extensions.
Check out also Dash2Dock lite which is a total replacement of Dash-to-Dock. It is also animated: https://github.com/icedman/dash2dock-lite
