Support for Animated PNG(.apng .png) in general. This has had a lot more work put into it since the Kickstarter success. Isn't it about time for wx to start supporting this also? apng is superior to the other formats and has become a lot more accepted by developers overall.

AnimationCtrl support firstly and then in other places it could be used/applied logically(Ex: if a bitmap/image for a widget is an apng, methods for starting/stopping the animation would apply)

Any contributions would be welcome but please don't set the milestone unless you intend to work yourself on implementing this.

opps. I intended a feature request in general. Ok understood. Thanks.

Hi, any update on this? Is apng support still being considered?

[vadz]

Nobody is actively working on this AFAIK. Contributions would still be welcome, of course.

https://github.com/kdschlosser/wxAnimation I just found this repo which appears to add support for apng and some other decoders - might be worth looking into.
