SMIL 3.0 Draft, Whats New?
Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced “smile”) 3.0 Draft since its first release with the W3C on December 21st 2006, it has come a long way with many changes since its previous programs of SMIL 2.0 and its upgrades of SMIL 2.1. And we see that the new release of SMIL 3.0 has been integrated to service a larger variety of Synchronized Multimedia Integrated Languages not only comp based but as well as Portable hand held devices such as Cell phones, Black Berries, and even Game Machines.
The Main Differences of the new Draft of SMIL 3.0
- Well many upgrades have been added to this new package the last release date was in July 13th 2007. This was the last working draft of SMIL 3.0 and from there to then many changes was made to present working Draft release on January 15th 2008. And a new look and interface is just a fraction of the picture of the software.
- So the changes are based upon the new Vista Program and its many components of web Browsers such as IE 8 or Mozilla Firefox 3.0 platform. All in which effect a large variety of Integrated Multimedia Language services such as DOM, CCG Hotmail, Java, and of course SMIL 3.0.
- The changes of this magnitude are based upon the Microsoft working order if they are still drafting and beta testing Internet Explorer 8 and still do not have the bugs worked out of Windows Vista it would explain the constant upgrading of SMIL 3.0 trying to compensate for the works of IE 8.
- Not to Mention that Mozilla Fire Fox 3 has had its work cut out as well for they too have been changing allot of the platform works of their browser trying to keep both Windows XP users happy and now Windows Vista Users Happy.
- Long of the short SMIL 3.0 has to be constantly upgraded to meet the demands and rewrites of both popular Browsers and Both Windows Programs.
New Features of SMIL 3.0
Unlike its old programs SMIL 3.0 is written to adapt to 3 levels of Windows the old system of 98 platforms, Xp Platforms, and of course the new Windows Vista. But even though they have developed this integration into their languages you have to be running XP Professional or Windows Vista to experience the full potential of SMIL 3.0. As we see crisper Graphics more boost in clarity of Audio not to mention multi pages and scripting. The ability to open up page in page boxes, and even a Video clip why still browsing the web. As SMIL 3.0 is brought to us we can only sit back and enjoy using this software in our everyday lives, as our cell phones can now surf the web, and play MP3 music files, or watch full length movies on a cell phone. We have the ability to integrate with more than one resource at a time or even contact. The adaptation of Windows Messengers and thus Yahoo, and MSN Messengers. Just to give examples of how this simple Product has changed the lives we live in.
