[OpenLayers-Users] Animated Zooming

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi All,

This might be more oriented to the dev list, but I can start here.

I was just looking for the animated zoom feature and googling about 
shows that ticket #442 was closed as wont fix and refers to #933.

So we seem to have animated pan based on the tween function, but no 
animated zoom. There is still Emanuel Schütze sandbox but that seems to 
be very much out of date with respect to trunk. While draging the zoom 
bar is cool, it is not needed if we could get just the image resize on 
zoom so the map view port does not go blank waiting for new images to loads.

Is there a plan for this?
Did I miss the example and docs for this?
Or has this been totally abandoned at this point for some reason?

Inquiring minds want to know! :)

Thanks,
   -Steve
