Over the weekend Vlad and I have been working with the PNG group on making APNG a real PNG extension. Thomas Boutell, one of the original PNG authors has a pretty nice blog about APNG — MNG is dead, long live APNG.

Over the last week or so, Vlad and I put together a spec for an Animated PNG format. Vlad wrote an encoder and I got decoding working in Mozilla. The bug is here including the patch. Things work pretty well and you can do some sweet animations. The code is tiny, espically compared to MNG.
