AnimGIF Speed

The speed of some AnimGIFs in avatars has changed a lot from 2.3 to 2.4. Is there a reason for this? I heard somewhere that there is no specification for the speed of replay, is that correct?

It isn't. There is a delay that you can set for every frame that is in 100 Hz ticks (i.e. 10 ms). Otherwise it defaults to 100 fps IIRC.

You can check the gifanim.datatype sources on OS4Depot/Aminet for more details.

Kind of, yes. The minimum frame delay was increased from 10ms in 2.3 to 100ms in 2.4. I'm not aware of any official standard regarding this, and it doesn't help that different browsers handle things differently in this area. I seem to remember that IE and Firefox were quite different when this change was made in IBrowse.

That would explain it, thanks.
